If i had to change the substitute teacher id make her a student who likes to tutor other students. She'd probably have a small career in town which is singing in a local cafe. She would be the type to tease people on their crushes. And single guys she always flirts with. Most of the time she'd not be able to get any boy to notice her. Except she decided that the next guy she met would be the one who she'd date. Her club would be the science club and her personality is attention seeker and flirty. I decide to change her innaproprate features and made her seem different from the original
@@ethanwoo4001 she didn't really say it was better then the original design, and it's perfectly fine to redesign a character with a different skintone. She also mentioned that she even liked the original design of Oka better then hers. I don't understand what is the big deal of redesigning a charater with a different skin tone People are acting like this person is Zeefixarts
Muja can be an assistant for the nurse. Since she's a caring student and wants to be a nurse in the future, it would make sense that she's training and like helping students then one day she met Taro etc...
Yeah that's what I thought. She could kind of do an internship in the nurses office during her elimination week whichis why maybe then she happens to really help out Taro
I totally agree with these too, but I had an idea for the teacher one. That's my least favorite one, but what if she's a student tutor? after ayano has eliminated some rivals, senpai has to be affected in some way. his grades are dropping and his parents make him meet with a tutor, and that's the rival! It's kind of a stupid idea but that's all I could come up with. I would make her elegant and smart, like a straight As girl. SInce they meet up so many times, she starts to develop feelings for senpai and vice versa. but anyways, I loved these characters too. :)
It’s not dumb it’s a really cute idea! My biggest issue with the teacher and why I don’t really wanna redesign her is both her personality and design would just need a complete overhaul to work in a way I’d like so it’s not as much of a redesign as I think the whole character should just be replaced lol xD
@@Pyonkotcchi yeah, with my concept its just a whole new character to replace the teacher. also, i didn't say my idea because i was saying you should do it, I was just spouting an idea, so i hope that wasn't taken in the wrong way! i understand not wanting to do that character. the teacher was just made for fan service. there's no real "character" or "personality" there. :)
I really like this idea of changing the role of MujaKina from a nurse to a high school girl ..... this is a school nurse as she can't be stupid ,innocent and inexperienced. Plus it's unethical and illegal to Taro is a schoolboy , even if he's an adult. Oh God ZERO LOGIC. ( sorry for the mistakes I Russian badly write in English)
I like the redesign of Muja because, even though she’s meant to be the “Clumsy yet attractive” character, It’s stated that Akademi High is a prestigious school, so the school would have high standards for a nurse, even for a substitute nurse.
Bit of a hot take, but I feel like the teacher, for being one of two characters everyone has a serious issue with, is the one character who actually works, *specifically* for Alex's vision. She's a horrible overdone archetype who would kinda be beyond redemption in any other game, I believe you there, but somehow she manages to be the one character so despicable that Ayano seems like the lesser of two evils. And really that's where I feel Alex has kinda failed on a fundamental level - that out of all the rivals that you're meant to eliminate in this dumpster fire, he's failed to make these girls bad enough to warrant the *player* wanting to do any of this.
To be fair the point of the game is to be a yandere. Your reason for eliminating rivals isn’t on whether they are a good person, it’s whether they’ve ever looked at your precious senpai.
If she's supposed to be a yandere, the morality of the people throwing themselves at the person she wants to spend her life with really doesn't matter. She's too mentally screwed up to care about anything other than making sure he ends up with her and no one else. That being said, the way Osana snaps at him all the time comes off as verbal abuse and could warrant her needing to be eliminated, Kizana radiates snobby bish energy and probably wouldn't actually care about him as a person all that much so long as he's showering her with adoration, she (Ayano) might be legitimately concerned Oka and the occult club might try to sacrifice him for a ritual of some kind, there's all kinds of legal/ethical issues with Mida (and Muja as she is in the game), and the crowd Osoro runs with could easily end up getting Taro hurt. The only ones with no real ethical issues surrounding the possibility of them being a romantic interest are Amai, Asu and Megami, and as long as his sister Hanako doesn't have any actual romantic/sexual interest in Taro, there's not really anything super wrong with that either. She really needs her own life outside of her brother, but that's about it.
It would’ve been cool if in the game we see the rivals in ayanos eyes, so their like the walking definition of despicable but when their eliminated no mater the method, we see what everyone else saw them as
@ghost I'm still fairly certain high schoolers and any faculty member can't be in a relationship whether the student is 18 or not, but I could be wrong. Either way, it's still really weird.
LMFAO i like what they did with mikan more than... whatever yandere dev was attempting to do. mikan is a highschool student and became a nurse because she wanted to feel power over others so it would make sense she wouldn't be very mature or composed, unlike the nurse in yandere simulator who probably went to medical school for years for her job.
Yeah, but Mikan is 17. This is just my opinion, I don't actually think she's really a nurse. More of a quack nurse. Nothing against Mikan btw, she's so cute!
I think these designs are great and most of them work really well. My one comment is with Oka. I liked the design overall, but her dark hair against the coat that’s almost the exact same makes the colours kind of muddled. I think if you put a really subtle highlight on the ends of her hair it would keep the dark theme without the colours looking all merged together!
I feel like the most problematic Rivals are definitely Muja, Mida, and Hanako. I think tho Hanako doesn't romantically like senpai but in an overly protective way towards her brother, which if that were true, would make it less bad but more uncomfortable and problematic since it's still a sibling rival which you have to get rid of. Which will make Taro's mental health go down a lot. Too me, Muja and Mida are overly sexualized for a high school setting. Teachers also have a dress code and I don't think the school would allow the teachers with really low v-necks and very short skirts. especially when they're around minors every time, every day. it would make me very uncomfortable walking into school and seeing my teacher in a low v-neck and short skirt... yes, this is an anime game and some of the things in anime aren't like in real life, but some things like this shouldn't be in the game, to begin with. it makes the game look overly sexualized and like the creator had completely different ideas for the final game... and it's especially scary that they are in a high school setting with minors. (average age for Japanese high schoolers are between 13-18. 13-15 being Junior years and 16-18 being senior years) So imagine if a 15-year-old saw a teacher in really scandalous clothes as Yandere dev likes to play out. the teacher would instantly get in trouble and possibly fired. I do like your idea of turning Muja into a regular high school student.. it makes the game more realistic without taking away the anime vibe. and it makes it less uncomfortable when dealing with the rivals. I just hope he changes it from the current design to a more suitable attire. thank you
@ghost Yeah, but she also has a pretty short skirt if you look at her official art, Also, she's above 18. and she's flirting with a 15-17-year-old even if she doesn't know she's doing it. Muja also had to go to college for a nursing degree to be able to work as a school nurse. Nursing schools typically take 4 years to complete, not to mention she had to wait to be applied to Akademi, which we are told is a pretty high standard school so it could've taken longer for her to be applied, and she had to wait for the other nurse to retire or get fired. That's a lot of time before she could've been hired as a school nurse, and it doesn't look like shes volunteering either since the other nurse (the one that's in the game right now) is not present, usually, when people volunteer to be a nurse, the original nurse is still in the room making sure they're doing they're job and helping them. So, knowing this she's probably between 24-29. tho, imagine if the genders were switched? a 24-29-year-old male school nurse was hitting on a 17-year-old female student? That would get him immediately arrested, even if he didn't know he was doing it. that's the same thing that's going on here, but the genders are switched. Sorry, if this reply is long, I just wanted to get this information out to you. Thank you
@ghost Yes, Mida is the flirty one, but Muja is also flirting. flirting doesn't just need to be pick up lines or sexual comments, it can also be physical. Also, I feel like the male rivals are even more problematic. its 2 grown men flirting with a 17-year-old female student. and when Muja falls on a 17-year-old female student, I think that student will feel weird and not wanna be around Muja. also, Taro cant consent. he's not 18 or 21. so even if he does like Muja he can't consent to it. Shes above age while he's not. thank you
@ghost Yes, senpai does mean upperclassmen. but Ayano is either 15 or 16. You can still call someone Senpai when they're a year older than you. and even if Taro was 18 he still can't consent. his brain doesn't fully develop until 21, which is why you're allowed to drink and go to actual jail at that age(i don't know about the jail part but the drinking and stuff are at that age)
i always thought oka’s clothes would be more loose-fitting and baggy because i imagined her as like, really small. shorter than the average classmate and frail-looking was how i saw her even though her designs were a bit curvier. also she would look cute as hell if she was small
As much as your Oka design is nice, changing the uniform is nice but Oka is one of those designs that i really fell in love and wouldn’t change a thing about her design other than the uniform. But Muja is really cute as a student and I really like your art style.
Thanks! And I actually agree lol, oka is one of my favorite designs too and the only problem I really had was with the uniform not really suiting her personality in my opinion,I did have a lot of fun coming up with a new look for her but if it was up to me and I made my own story I think I would have both of them co exist as friends xD
Senpai's re-design looks SO GOOD. I never really understood why the seventeen-hundred girls fell in love with the most basic, bland guy when there were so many other, more interesting guys around. Now if it was this guy, I would see why.
thats exactly my pet peeve with senpai in the game like why would so many girls fall in love with a guy whos got the looks and personality of a piece of unseasoned tofu
I kinda like how you kept their big.. features because I’ve seen other people re design them and they always make them smaller and then they say something like “they look better like this” or “their big zoikers made me uncomfortable” and idk why but that always makes me insecure about having big features 🥺✨
I definitely appreciate that, too. It's one of the reasons I really enjoy Kokona as a character, especially in that video where Musume starts talking about her body and she responds with "I never asked for my body to look like this." It's kinda why I'm sad Kokona isn't a main rival anymore. I like there being a rival that blatantly stands for the concepts of loving yourself and your body as it is and/or the concept of there being more to a person than just how their body looks.
I think that the idea of Oka having a darker palette is interesting, but I think you also have to be mindful of the values of the colours you picked? Some colours: like the blue face shading and her hair, as well as her sweater and her hair, have values that are too similar and don't contrast well. They blend together and are kinda hard to pick apart. I think adding more of an accent colour like orange, red, or silver, could suit her a lot^^ You could also look into the 60-30-10 rule when picking colours for her. Besides that, the Oka redesign makes sense and looks great, good job!
My Opinion On Them All: Final Drawings 12:00 Overall these designs are beautiful. I love how you draw, your art is perfect for making 3D models and animations. On top of that they're very consistent and each character looks like they belong in the same world. Before I get into my opinions on each design I just wanna say I really hope you change your mind about Mida I want to see how you would change her character to be a lil less creepy. If you need any suggestions I'm sure you could find some. Oka: I actually really like her design. YanSim is full of memes, stereotypes, and anime tropes so I actually thought it was kinda funny that you went with a "I'm so goth even my skin is dark" kinda theme it's funny. The outfit change is gorgeous, I like how you changed her to look more introverted like her character and I agree I don't think she's the type to put in a lot of effort into her makeup so this is perfect. Muja: The whole sexy nurse thing is actually an anime trope, so I never really had a huge problem with her cuz she also didn't have a crush on senpai or anything. However I can understand why you would want to change her character and honestly I'm not mad. I like the way you changed her, I think having her be an aspiring nurse who helps around in the nurses office would be a really cute way to put her in the game. The design you gave her was super soft and sweet and I think you did a great job. Taro: I've seen A LOT of senpai redesigns but this is the first time that he made sense. A lot of people make him this super desirable pretty boy, or this super hot yet nerdy boy and I don't think he fits either of those description ls. I think of Senpai as kind of a diamond in the rough. Super sensitive, friendly, naive, and caring. He has to look like someone who would love to read and listen to classical music and yet still have something that appeals to all these women. It's actually a really hard requirement. But your Senpai stands out bit not in a flashy way, it's not hard to imagine him liking and being open to everything and everyone, it feels like he would attract a lot of people honestly I love this design fantastic job. Side note I think it would be fun for senpai (your version) to have atleast one male rival as well (that's something you could do with Mida)😊
I really like your thought process with your versions of Yandere Sim. characters. It makes perfect sense. This makes me think of character design a lot more.
I really love your redesigns. You put alot of thought into these designs. A bit a critique (If you're open for that) Okas Design, especially her uniform looks a bit too dark for me. It might just be my laptop, but her uniform almost blends together into one dark blob. One thing you can always do is setting a color layer with just grey over the picture. Then you can see if different parts of the characters are distinguishable enough.
The teacher could actually be Senpai's tutor, since his grades probably dropped because things that happen in the game (people he cares about dying, ignoring him etc)
Why are people mad about Oka being a poc, its not blackwashing if theyre not saying its "fixed," its just a redesign, not something zeenafixesart would make. correction: Oka is already a poc, sorry if i offended anyone seeing as Asians are pocs aswell. Still, its not blackwashing if the creater didnt say it was "fixed."
The thing is that Oka is already a poc♡ While I personally don't care about it when people racebend any character (as long as they're not saying it's "fixed") You have to understand why people are upset though, essentially you guys are saying Asians aren't poc. Which...is asian erasure
Oh, another solid one. Though my opinion is more spread out for this one. Oka I like the messy aspects kept. I also like the dark color’s purple in comparison to the blue. My only criticism is that she doesn’t invoke the same creepiness and comes off more sad. I think what worked in Oka’s favor with pale skin is that she looked sort of dead. Like all the soul that was in her had been sapped, which gave a creepy vibe. Maybe a different facial expression could have helped, but I couldn’t see it for this one. I like the nurses redesign in this one more than Oka’s and loved it in concept compared to the original. You kept the cute pink aspects and it does take away the creeper vibe that the regular nurse. My issue with this one is that there is no sign of her nurse aspect. Like, she doesn’t have any medical symbols or supplies to show that her character is in training. I liked your design for Senpai the most of all of your designs thus far for Yan Sim. My biggest fear with your redesign was that you would take away the ordinary aspect that makes him down-to Earth in favor of a radical personality. I found you actually exceeded my expectation. He is great-looking to the point where I could see every girl in school flocking to him. This is the kind of guy I would see just minding his own business, reading at his favorite spot on the fountain and having lunch with his best friend. No issues with this one. Oka gets a 7. Muja gets an 8. Senpai gets a 10.
I adore your Oka design, but my only problem is that giving her darker skin makes her blend in with her hair and clothes and makes it muddy and blurry.
@@blushpinkbunny mhm! When you have a character with a mostly black color palette, it's good to go with lighter skintones to contrast that to not make it look like one black blob. Similarly, if you have a character with a mostly white or pastel colored palette, it's good to give them tanned or darker skin to contrast that.
That's sort of Oka's personality, though. I feel like she'd be more prone to dark clothes and colours. Making her have a lighter color pallette would contradict her personality. It just wouldn't feel like *her*
@@nerds2266 ah, i know! i'm saying that if a character has darker clothes and hair they should have lighter skin and vice versa. i adore oka's dark color palette and she's probably one of my favorites in the game tbh
Why are y'all pressed abt her changing Oka's skin tone? 1. It's not blackfishing, Blackfishing is just catfishing but pretending your a person of color. 2. Do y'all now know who yandere dev is? Like do y'all know the stuff he's done? Because it's was worse then changing a characters skin tone. 3. You guys are just plain over reacting. as a poc I don't understand why y'all are so mad.
I think the goth style you were trying to reference was casual goth. When you're young sometimes you dont have access to the dream items you want to wear yet. So throwing on a black hoody, as well as any dark clothes you have in your closet and also dye your hair if your parents let you.
I REALLY agree with these because yandere dev literally forgets about dress code and that there minors. The muja one is ALOT better because she's a nurse which means she has to were appropriate clothes.
I really like your redesigns. it gives a lot more sense, since senpai's handsome, and along with that trait comes the girls. the narrative fits well along with your designs. ayano feels emotions after meeting senpai, so she changed herself a ton, especially to look a little better and up to his type, which is cutesy girl with a type for books to try and score her senpai, while murdering the others that are being a little to close to him. it's already been told that she can fake emotions as well, which to her cutesy persona to be an absolute lie. they look exactly like the cast of a typical anime rom-com, except put on the dark twist, which is the yandere side of ayano. this fits so damn well! this this actually fits well as a game itself!
All 3 of these characters are so CUTE! i love all these ideas and oka has to be my favourite. She comes off as more of a goth, and spooky with the shading you used. You're such a good designer!
Oka having dark skin fits so well! She's all dark and black, so why can't she be black herself? Also, I like Muja Kina and Mida Rana's characters, but their role in games are so fucked up and illegal.
You redesigns are very pretty! But I got something bc I noticed some people didn't know it and misunderstood the Muja thing: Muja Kina is NOT in love with Taro, in her wiki it says she simply sees him as someone interesting and would like him as a friend rather than a romantic interest, also she is not a nurse, she is studying to become a nurse (meaning she is in university or something, which makes you giving her an uniform have very sense) so yeah, i like muja (even if sadly she was just designed by pedodev fetiszhes and as fanservice) and it makes me sad that people think she is as creepy as Mida is 😭 The whole thing that makes her a rival is said in her official description, mentioning that many boys like her and ayano fears that senpai might also like her for her clumsy and air-headed nature. With that said, your redesign was very good and amazing, she still looks very cute and THANK YOU FOR CHANGING HER ATROCIOUS "NURSE" UNIFORM, DAMN PEDODEV HE DOESN'T KNOW DRESS CODING IS A THING
i think people like this concept of people that are pale being goth because contrast is something that's really beautiful. Like a black person in pastel colors? I live for it. A white person in dark colors? Yes. A black person in dark colors or white person in pastel colors? I mean, it works, but it doesn't give the same vibe, so I guess that's why there are so many goth characters that are pale, but I would absolutely love seeing more black characters that are completely like kawaii and dress all in pastel, they would be so pretty
Yo I really fw these new designs. Like I feel like this is way more fitting for the game. I love Oka's design and I promise it's not because She s my favorite character. But once again I feel way more fitting! Her hair, clothes- EVEN HER SKIN JUST FEELS PERFECT!! For Muja I liked how you aged her down and made her out to be the mature one and not the whole sexy nurse stereotype. Because now that I think about it whenever I see her all I can think about for some reason is Mikan from Dangaronpa 2 : Goodbye Despair.
I love your concept for the nurse! Maybe she could be the student assistant in the nurse’s office during clean up hours? So she would still spend time in the office
ooohhh!!!! all of these are really cool!!!! i really like oka and the nurse girl theyre so cute!!!! you should do the baker rival next i think she would look poggers in your style!!! btw is it ok if i draw one of them?
MAN! I LOVE THESE REDESIGNS OMG- and I really do like the first one! I think yandere dev should add more black characters, because, well, there are none in his game, and the characters (I bet) would look so cute! Either way REALLY love the redesigns! :D
i really think Taro act kind of like Haruhi does when they're being a host in Ouran High School Host Club. he's a naturally humble boy who's maybe a little shy but he also like talking to people and stuff. (basically I'm projecting my ADHD onto him whoops)
muja being turned into a student who helps the nurse alot pretty much ever since she joined the skl two yrs ago and when shes busy with meetings (there would be an increase in the teacher meetings bc of the murders) takes over and eventually meeting taro through this would be so much better
I really like your Muja design and concept, but if she's really clumsy, she maybe will also have some ban-aids on her, (some what like Mikan Tsumiki from Danganronpa), and since she wants to become a nurse, she can also maybe use herself as a practice first. If she's really clumsy, she might often trip herself somewhere, then she can maybe use her clumsiness as a advantage of a practice because she would at least learn how to take care of HERSELF first before even taking care of OTHERS
I really like your redesigns!! You said the teacher could not be salvageable but I think you could make her a very smart student that wants to become a teacher and it's a teacher assistant. So she always hangs out with the other teachers
when i watched this vid, and abt the nurse rival, i like to think that she is also 18, like everyone else and that she is also a stundent that goes to classes, but she is the nurse's left hand person, like helper, yk! edit: i havent watched the nurse rival part till the end btw, so i forgot that she is clumsy
I love the idea of making the nurse a student!!! This would really make senpai-rival interactions.... not weird.... and it would be really cute! Like senpai gets hurt and instead of going to the school nurse he goes to her for help (possibly with other stuff like maybe biology or anatomy homework) and that would make her more of a realistic potential romantic interest. Instead of ‘hehe smexy nurse put b00b on teenage boi LOL’ , she can be a well respected student who senpai genuinely admires and wants to be with. Ahhh I’m already so much more excited about her character with this change-
the taro redesign is adorable, but i wish when ppl redesigned him they kept his timidness :(( He's canonically quiet and a little bit of a pushover, so it's sad to see ppl always throwing that away to make him charming
I really like the nurse redesign but the nurse is a higher threat because she’s faculty. She would be another Kokona if she were a student. I did really like it but it doesn’t make sense.
mabey she could be the og nurses daughter which would be. a way bigger threat since the parent is falculty and could do certain things that students wouldn’t be allowed to do
I love your redesigns especially Okas like I feel it fits with the vibe, like before it kinda looked like she put a lot of effort into her outfit (with the cobweb thingy on her arms) and like it just didn't match her I think
I LIVE for your Oka design! I really think you captured the concept and character that I (and many more, probably) have always thought of her as. The dark purple hair, with the copper skin tone is just so pleasing to look at👏👌 i also applaude your art style, very cute. I really wanna practise character design, especially color pallettes, and which colors look good with which, etc, and i think you nailed the coloring of each one of these! love it, keep doing what you do, you just got a new subscriber!
I honestly love pretty much all of your redesigns, especially for the nurse because her character made the least amount of sense. I get that he's trying to make all the characters very tropey, but the Nurse being clumsy just doesnt make any sense and isn't generally a part of the school nurse trope? And I preferred your decision to age her down. I also love that every redesign video I've seen where senpai was resdesigned, everyone always pushes so far away from the generic bland harem anime MC design XD and I really appreciate it. When you brought up the uniforms, i was conflicted because I personally think that the sailor uniform issue only becomes an issue for me because A) The uniforms look much less professional and more childish than actual highschool uniforms and these characters are SUPPOSED to be 18 or over according to yandev, meaning they are meant to be adults, not kids B) There is no longer anything visually separating Senpai's sister from the rest of his classmates, since she is a middle schooler and just ends up wearing like, the EXACT SAME uniform as them?? Which makes it look like they go to the same school and are classmates rather than her being in middle school and substantially younger than them. But also they're really cute uniform design at the same time xD ahh torn between wanting realistic portrayals of irl uniforms and cute design. Though I did find it odd that you said that the game didnt need to be realistic and you used that as a reason for still using the sailor uniforms, but then went on and on about the Nurse being clumsy not making any sense (thus not being realistic). But if you can apply the "it doesn't have to be realistic b/c animu game" to the uniforms surely it could apply to characters with traits that make little sense. I'm not defending the nurse as i stated above i much prefer your redesign, this was just a thought that crossed my mind as i was typing out this comment. Tl;dr i like your redesigns! Great job on all of them!!
For taros sister, apparently she's a high school freshman not a middle schooler (2 yrs behind him but still 18 somehow?? This game is weird) haha. I guess its a suspension of disbelief thing for me. I can buy rainbow hair,, yanderes, and characters wearing an unrealistic uniform but I draw the line at the school nurse being dangerously klutzy xD
@@Pyonkotcchi ahh I see, well the ages thing was just him bs-ing stuff so people would stop getting on his ass for having such lewd things like panty shots involving characters who are minors, when honestly he could have just replaced the panty shots feature entirely with another system for earning points. His school set up with the characters ages make no sense whatsoever because of this, but because he refuses to get rid of the lewd aspects of the gameplay, he also refuses to budge on his wonky "everyone is over eighteen but I'm still gonna call this a highschool and make everyone wear middle school uniforms" reasoning so he has an argument for anyone who gets mad about high schoolers being lewded. It's a right mess honestly. But anyway the suspension of disbelief thing is understandable!
I'm actually very happy that you made Oka black, it makes me happy cause I haven't seen any black characters in the game (I'm not sure I could include the bullies cause I think they're tan)
The bullies are tan, it's a fashion style called gyaru :)) I think America is the single most diverse continent, so it makes sense for the characters to be only Asian - on the other hand it is a fictional game and you can see Yandev wasn't going for realism in terms of character creation
If I had to work with the super sexy teacher, I would go a similar route to this and age her down, and I would probably go off of a similar theme that the nurse from Animaniacs had, specifically in Wakko's Wish. She mentioned that she wanted people to like her for her mind and not just her looks, and I feel like that's an angle that could be applied to a younger version of this character. She'd probably have had similar experiences as Kokona where she's assumed to be promiscuous because of how her body looks, and I think it's really important to remind people, especially younger girls who got hit hard with the puberty stick, that your body shape doesn't necessarily define you as a person. So, for this character specifically, she could be one of the smartest students in class that was asked by their teacher to help Taro study because his grades are slipping. She is still really curvaceous and has guys throwing themselves at her a lot, and maybe she has a certain "reputation" because of either actual stuff in her past or just assumptions based on how she looks, but she wants people to know there's more to her than that, and maybe she likes Taro so much because he's the only person that's ever bothered to look past how sexy she looks and talk about more deep and intellectual things with her, even outside of her tutoring sessions.
As somebody with anxiety and is a shy person. I hated that gloomy girls design she looked like some fan service oh wait- I forgot yandere dev says girls anatomy only has big booby and thick thighs. Like he treats something that’s meant to represents shy girl like some sexual fetish.
God I love them!! Oka is like an exchange student who's shy because she's different living in Japan. But then she found her occult friends so they hang out all the time. The nurse being a student is soooo cute and fixes so much. She's so precious and fits into the atmosphere perfectly and Senpai is literally so weird as an idea. So those main characters are bland so then anyone could put themselves in the position. But then in the game you play as the girl chasing after him? So it's hard to put yourself in his position since he isn't the main protag? I dunno. It does explain why Ayano is bland though cause it's also the whole thing of 'putting yourself in her shoes'. I love this version of Senpai though! He's cool and the fact he isn't generic would made girls stumble for him. Hell if he gave me attention I would flip XD I can't wait to see what else you do so I'm already onto part 3!
I had this idea of Senpai being a lazy, quiet, naive guy. All the girls fawn over him because of his friendliness and his funny mannerisms, but he’s just too invested in his own hobbies to notice that they’re drooling. He sleeps 99% of the time in class, and he’s always talking to a different person each day, and goofing around with them, instead of sitting in the same spot
Love your art! And I had an idea for the teacher, you could make it that instead of wanting a relation ship with him, she’s just preventing him from any relationship, maybe she’s his mum who works at the schools, or he’s on a scholarship or smthn that being in a relationship could ruin, that’s why she’s a rival.
Lol, to be fair he did BUY the designs for his came. He’s making new models so he might take these designs into consideration. If he asked to use these designs, would you let him?
The other character, she could be like a teacher assistant, or a straight A student that senpai asks help from like tutoring. Not the most creative route but at least its not gross like the original
Oka for the most part was fine as her canon version and it’s not like she needed too much improving in my opinion All though it’s nice seeing more detail and stuff.
In my opinion the way Oka is posed it looks like she’s grabbing her skirt trying to pull it down, I might be thinking about it too much but it looks like that to me
@@flyingorange2482blasians exist, and the character doesn’t have to look like you to be represented, otherwise white people and other non Asians wouldn’t feel like their favorite ASIAN anime characters
I really like your re-designs of the characters! Oka's my my favorite character overall and it's a new take. Oka may be a exchange student who struggles with her new surroundings. Other students may see her as weird because of her appearance and interests, but she finds a group of students who are also into the occult like her. Making Muja a student is a refreshing change. If anything, Muja would be the "big sister" type of character. She's always looking out for other students, carrying a small first aid kit and in her spare time, would be studying because she aspires to be a nurse.
For anyone that doesnt like that I changed skin tones: what are you gonna do about it? Be mad at me?
i do have an idea for megami. maybe you could make her look a bit like a magical girl who is just full of bubbliness
@phoebe maetz As if getting mad over a skin tone being changed in a redesign is any _more_ mature?
If i had to change the substitute teacher id make her a student who likes to tutor other students. She'd probably have a small career in town which is singing in a local cafe. She would be the type to tease people on their crushes. And single guys she always flirts with. Most of the time she'd not be able to get any boy to notice her. Except she decided that the next guy she met would be the one who she'd date. Her club would be the science club and her personality is attention seeker and flirty.
I decide to change her innaproprate features and made her seem different from the original
@@ethanwoo4001 she didn't really say it was better then the original design, and it's perfectly fine to redesign a character with a different skintone. She also mentioned that she even liked the original design of Oka better then hers. I don't understand what is the big deal of redesigning a charater with a different skin tone
People are acting like this person is Zeefixarts
blackfishing doesn't exist, go cry
Muja can be an assistant for the nurse. Since she's a caring student and wants to be a nurse in the future, it would make sense that she's training and like helping students then one day she met Taro etc...
Yeah that's what I thought. She could kind of do an internship in the nurses office during her elimination week whichis why maybe then she happens to really help out Taro
Oooo yeah
Yeah
@@marsismediocresuper cool
I totally agree with these too, but I had an idea for the teacher one. That's my least favorite one, but what if she's a student tutor? after ayano has eliminated some rivals, senpai has to be affected in some way. his grades are dropping and his parents make him meet with a tutor, and that's the rival! It's kind of a stupid idea but that's all I could come up with. I would make her elegant and smart, like a straight As girl. SInce they meet up so many times, she starts to develop feelings for senpai and vice versa. but anyways, I loved these characters too. :)
It’s not dumb it’s a really cute idea!
My biggest issue with the teacher and why I don’t really wanna redesign her is both her personality and design would just need a complete overhaul to work in a way I’d like so it’s not as much of a redesign as I think the whole character should just be replaced lol xD
@@Pyonkotcchi yeah, with my concept its just a whole new character to replace the teacher. also, i didn't say my idea because i was saying you should do it, I was just spouting an idea, so i hope that wasn't taken in the wrong way! i understand not wanting to do that character. the teacher was just made for fan service. there's no real "character" or "personality" there. :)
Ramen_ Boy I understand dw! It’s a cute idea though for real n.n
@@Pyonkotcchi your muja design sounds sorta like mikan

@@Pyonkotcchi Maybe you could replace her with the gardening club leader, she seems pretty fit to be a rival.
I really like this idea of changing the role of MujaKina from a nurse to a high school girl ..... this is a school nurse as she can't be stupid ,innocent and inexperienced. Plus it's unethical and illegal to Taro is a schoolboy , even if he's an adult. Oh God ZERO LOGIC. ( sorry for the mistakes I Russian badly write in English)
No worries, I still got the gist of what you're saying.

I like the redesign of Muja because, even though she’s meant to be the “Clumsy yet attractive” character, It’s stated that Akademi High is a prestigious school, so the school would have high standards for a nurse, even for a substitute nurse.
Just realized the nurse love interest is just copy and paste Mikan Tsumiki

😂
Bit of a hot take, but I feel like the teacher, for being one of two characters everyone has a serious issue with, is the one character who actually works, *specifically* for Alex's vision. She's a horrible overdone archetype who would kinda be beyond redemption in any other game, I believe you there, but somehow she manages to be the one character so despicable that Ayano seems like the lesser of two evils.
And really that's where I feel Alex has kinda failed on a fundamental level - that out of all the rivals that you're meant to eliminate in this dumpster fire, he's failed to make these girls bad enough to warrant the *player* wanting to do any of this.
To be fair the point of the game is to be a yandere. Your reason for eliminating rivals isn’t on whether they are a good person, it’s whether they’ve ever looked at your precious senpai.
@ghost lol what
If she's supposed to be a yandere, the morality of the people throwing themselves at the person she wants to spend her life with really doesn't matter. She's too mentally screwed up to care about anything other than making sure he ends up with her and no one else.
That being said, the way Osana snaps at him all the time comes off as verbal abuse and could warrant her needing to be eliminated, Kizana radiates snobby bish energy and probably wouldn't actually care about him as a person all that much so long as he's showering her with adoration, she (Ayano) might be legitimately concerned Oka and the occult club might try to sacrifice him for a ritual of some kind, there's all kinds of legal/ethical issues with Mida (and Muja as she is in the game), and the crowd Osoro runs with could easily end up getting Taro hurt. The only ones with no real ethical issues surrounding the possibility of them being a romantic interest are Amai, Asu and Megami, and as long as his sister Hanako doesn't have any actual romantic/sexual interest in Taro, there's not really anything super wrong with that either. She really needs her own life outside of her brother, but that's about it.
It would’ve been cool if in the game we see the rivals in ayanos eyes, so their like the walking definition of despicable but when their eliminated no mater the method, we see what everyone else saw them as
@ghost I'm still fairly certain high schoolers and any faculty member can't be in a relationship whether the student is 18 or not, but I could be wrong. Either way, it's still really weird.
"A clumsy nurse doesn't make sense"
Mikan from Danganronpa: I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY
Edit: Yeah I know she a student like xd
Yea but she's a student sooooo
Yeee its pretty obvious the nurse for yandere is like... a copy and paste of Mikan just an adult (ew) xD
Mikan rlly do be clumsy tho U-U
🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO i like what they did with mikan more than... whatever yandere dev was attempting to do. mikan is a highschool student and became a nurse because she wanted to feel power over others so it would make sense she wouldn't be very mature or composed, unlike the nurse in yandere simulator who probably went to medical school for years for her job.
Yeah, but Mikan is 17. This is just my opinion, I don't actually think she's really a nurse. More of a quack nurse. Nothing against Mikan btw, she's so cute!
I was very curious to see what you'd do with the nurse, glad to see that you aged her down and still kept the theme with her! Great art once again!
I think these designs are great and most of them work really well. My one comment is with Oka. I liked the design overall, but her dark hair against the coat that’s almost the exact same makes the colours kind of muddled. I think if you put a really subtle highlight on the ends of her hair it would keep the dark theme without the colours looking all merged together!
I feel like the most problematic Rivals are definitely Muja, Mida, and Hanako.
I think tho Hanako doesn't romantically like senpai but in an overly protective way towards her brother, which if that were true, would make it less bad but more uncomfortable and problematic since it's still a sibling rival which you have to get rid of. Which will make Taro's mental health go down a lot.
Too me, Muja and Mida are overly sexualized for a high school setting. Teachers also have a dress code and I don't think the school would allow the teachers with really low v-necks and very short skirts. especially when they're around minors every time, every day. it would make me very uncomfortable walking into school and seeing my teacher in a low v-neck and short skirt...
yes, this is an anime game and some of the things in anime aren't like in real life, but some things like this shouldn't be in the game, to begin with. it makes the game look overly sexualized and like the creator had completely different ideas for the final game... and it's especially scary that they are in a high school setting with minors.
(average age for Japanese high schoolers are between 13-18. 13-15 being Junior years and 16-18 being senior years)
So imagine if a 15-year-old saw a teacher in really scandalous clothes as Yandere dev likes to play out.
the teacher would instantly get in trouble and possibly fired.
I do like your idea of turning Muja into a regular high school student.. it makes the game more realistic without taking away the anime vibe. and it makes it less uncomfortable when dealing with the rivals. I just hope he changes it from the current design to a more suitable attire.
thank you
@ghost Yeah, but she also has a pretty short skirt if you look at her official art, Also, she's above 18. and she's flirting with a 15-17-year-old even if she doesn't know she's doing it. Muja also had to go to college for a nursing degree to be able to work as a school nurse. Nursing schools typically take 4 years to complete, not to mention she had to wait to be applied to Akademi, which we are told is a pretty high standard school so it could've taken longer for her to be applied, and she had to wait for the other nurse to retire or get fired. That's a lot of time before she could've been hired as a school nurse, and it doesn't look like shes volunteering either since the other nurse (the one that's in the game right now) is not present, usually, when people volunteer to be a nurse, the original nurse is still in the room making sure they're doing they're job and helping them. So, knowing this she's probably between 24-29. tho, imagine if the genders were switched? a 24-29-year-old male school nurse was hitting on a 17-year-old female student? That would get him immediately arrested, even if he didn't know he was doing it. that's the same thing that's going on here, but the genders are switched. Sorry, if this reply is long, I just wanted to get this information out to you.
Thank you
@ghost Yes, Mida is the flirty one, but Muja is also flirting. flirting doesn't just need to be pick up lines or sexual comments, it can also be physical. Also, I feel like the male rivals are even more problematic. its 2 grown men flirting with a 17-year-old female student. and when Muja falls on a 17-year-old female student, I think that student will feel weird and not wanna be around Muja. also, Taro cant consent. he's not 18 or 21. so even if he does like Muja he can't consent to it. Shes above age while he's not.
thank you
@ghost Yes, senpai does mean upperclassmen. but Ayano is either 15 or 16. You can still call someone Senpai when they're a year older than you. and even if Taro was 18 he still can't consent. his brain doesn't fully develop until 21, which is why you're allowed to drink and go to actual jail at that age(i don't know about the jail part but the drinking and stuff are at that age)
Said Byakuya himself
Maybe you would have to convince Hanako that you are good enough for senpai by becoming her friend and convincing her u r a good person
i always thought oka’s clothes would be more loose-fitting and baggy because i imagined her as like, really small. shorter than the average classmate and frail-looking was how i saw her even though her designs were a bit curvier. also she would look cute as hell if she was small
As much as your Oka design is nice, changing the uniform is nice but Oka is one of those designs that i really fell in love and wouldn’t change a thing about her design other than the uniform. But Muja is really cute as a student and I really like your art style.
Thanks! And I actually agree lol, oka is one of my favorite designs too and the only problem I really had was with the uniform not really suiting her personality in my opinion,I did have a lot of fun coming up with a new look for her but if it was up to me and I made my own story I think I would have both of them co exist as friends xD
Senpai's re-design looks SO GOOD. I never really understood why the seventeen-hundred girls fell in love with the most basic, bland guy when there were so many other, more interesting guys around. Now if it was this guy, I would see why.
thats exactly my pet peeve with senpai in the game like why would so many girls fall in love with a guy whos got the looks and personality of a piece of unseasoned tofu
I kinda like how you kept their big.. features because I’ve seen other people re design them and they always make them smaller and then they say something like “they look better like this” or “their big zoikers made me uncomfortable” and idk why but that always makes me insecure about having big features 🥺✨
I definitely appreciate that, too. It's one of the reasons I really enjoy Kokona as a character, especially in that video where Musume starts talking about her body and she responds with "I never asked for my body to look like this." It's kinda why I'm sad Kokona isn't a main rival anymore. I like there being a rival that blatantly stands for the concepts of loving yourself and your body as it is and/or the concept of there being more to a person than just how their body looks.
@ImuYannii compared to super sonico their proportions look much more natural
Same too!
Also extra thing I love Oka's design the most.She looks so nice
Yandere Dev using any possible chance to sexualize his characters, the stuff he does to his underaged characters is so dodgy
I also agree that Senpai can be draw that way because before he look like Ayano brother
I think that the idea of Oka having a darker palette is interesting, but I think you also have to be mindful of the values of the colours you picked? Some colours: like the blue face shading and her hair, as well as her sweater and her hair, have values that are too similar and don't contrast well. They blend together and are kinda hard to pick apart. I think adding more of an accent colour like orange, red, or silver, could suit her a lot^^ You could also look into the 60-30-10 rule when picking colours for her. Besides that, the Oka redesign makes sense and looks great, good job!
My Opinion On Them All:
Final Drawings 12:00
Overall these designs are beautiful. I love how you draw, your art is perfect for making 3D models and animations. On top of that they're very consistent and each character looks like they belong in the same world. Before I get into my opinions on each design I just wanna say I really hope you change your mind about Mida I want to see how you would change her character to be a lil less creepy. If you need any suggestions I'm sure you could find some.
Oka:
I actually really like her design. YanSim is full of memes, stereotypes, and anime tropes so I actually thought it was kinda funny that you went with a "I'm so goth even my skin is dark" kinda theme it's funny. The outfit change is gorgeous, I like how you changed her to look more introverted like her character and I agree I don't think she's the type to put in a lot of effort into her makeup so this is perfect.
Muja:
The whole sexy nurse thing is actually an anime trope, so I never really had a huge problem with her cuz she also didn't have a crush on senpai or anything. However I can understand why you would want to change her character and honestly I'm not mad. I like the way you changed her, I think having her be an aspiring nurse who helps around in the nurses office would be a really cute way to put her in the game. The design you gave her was super soft and sweet and I think you did a great job.
Taro:
I've seen A LOT of senpai redesigns but this is the first time that he made sense. A lot of people make him this super desirable pretty boy, or this super hot yet nerdy boy and I don't think he fits either of those description ls. I think of Senpai as kind of a diamond in the rough. Super sensitive, friendly, naive, and caring. He has to look like someone who would love to read and listen to classical music and yet still have something that appeals to all these women. It's actually a really hard requirement. But your Senpai stands out bit not in a flashy way, it's not hard to imagine him liking and being open to everything and everyone, it feels like he would attract a lot of people honestly I love this design fantastic job.
Side note I think it would be fun for senpai (your version) to have atleast one male rival as well (that's something you could do with Mida)😊
I really like your thought process with your versions of Yandere Sim. characters. It makes perfect sense. This makes me think of character design a lot more.
I really love your redesigns. You put alot of thought into these designs. A bit a critique (If you're open for that) Okas Design, especially her uniform looks a bit too dark for me. It might just be my laptop, but her uniform almost blends together into one dark blob. One thing you can always do is setting a color layer with just grey over the picture. Then you can see if different parts of the characters are distinguishable enough.
I love Oka's redesign, The sweater and longer skirt definitely fits her personality a lot more than what she was originally designed with
The teacher could actually be Senpai's tutor, since his grades probably dropped because things that happen in the game (people he cares about dying, ignoring him etc)
Why are people mad about Oka being a poc, its not blackwashing if theyre not saying its "fixed," its just a redesign, not something zeenafixesart would make.
correction: Oka is already a poc, sorry if i offended anyone seeing as Asians are pocs aswell. Still, its not blackwashing if the creater didnt say it was "fixed."
THANK YOU🥰🥰
THIS🙌🏼❤️
The thing is that Oka is already a poc♡
While I personally don't care about it when people racebend any character (as long as they're not saying it's "fixed")
You have to understand why people are upset though, essentially you guys are saying Asians aren't poc. Which...is asian erasure
blackwashing isn't a thing.
@@topsyturvy1097 if whitewashing is a thing, so is blackwashing.
Oh, another solid one. Though my opinion is more spread out for this one.
Oka I like the messy aspects kept. I also like the dark color’s purple in comparison to the blue. My only criticism is that she doesn’t invoke the same creepiness and comes off more sad. I think what worked in Oka’s favor with pale skin is that she looked sort of dead. Like all the soul that was in her had been sapped, which gave a creepy vibe. Maybe a different facial expression could have helped, but I couldn’t see it for this one.
I like the nurses redesign in this one more than Oka’s and loved it in concept compared to the original. You kept the cute pink aspects and it does take away the creeper vibe that the regular nurse. My issue with this one is that there is no sign of her nurse aspect. Like, she doesn’t have any medical symbols or supplies to show that her character is in training.
I liked your design for Senpai the most of all of your designs thus far for Yan Sim. My biggest fear with your redesign was that you would take away the ordinary aspect that makes him down-to Earth in favor of a radical personality. I found you actually exceeded my expectation. He is great-looking to the point where I could see every girl in school flocking to him. This is the kind of guy I would see just minding his own business, reading at his favorite spot on the fountain and having lunch with his best friend. No issues with this one.
Oka gets a 7. Muja gets an 8. Senpai gets a 10.
Yo this is awesome! Oka looks great! And so does everyone else too, but Oka's my favorite.
I adore your Oka design, but my only problem is that giving her darker skin makes her blend in with her hair and clothes and makes it muddy and blurry.
muddy?
@@blushpinkbunny mhm! When you have a character with a mostly black color palette, it's good to go with lighter skintones to contrast that to not make it look like one black blob. Similarly, if you have a character with a mostly white or pastel colored palette, it's good to give them tanned or darker skin to contrast that.
@@peachysai605 Well I'm glad I colored my pfp correctly then-
That's sort of Oka's personality, though. I feel like she'd be more prone to dark clothes and colours. Making her have a lighter color pallette would contradict her personality. It just wouldn't feel like *her*
@@nerds2266 ah, i know! i'm saying that if a character has darker clothes and hair they should have lighter skin and vice versa. i adore oka's dark color palette and she's probably one of my favorites in the game tbh
Why are y'all pressed abt her changing Oka's skin tone?
1. It's not blackfishing, Blackfishing is just catfishing but pretending your a person of color.
2. Do y'all now know who yandere dev is? Like do y'all know the stuff he's done? Because it's was worse then changing a characters skin tone.
3. You guys are just plain over reacting. as a poc I don't understand why y'all are so mad.
I think the goth style you were trying to reference was casual goth. When you're young sometimes you dont have access to the dream items you want to wear yet. So throwing on a black hoody, as well as any dark clothes you have in your closet and also dye your hair if your parents let you.
YES POC GOTHS WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!! I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO DRESS GOTH BUT IM MEXICAN AND I ALWAYS FELT THAT IT WOULDNT WORK BUT 😳😳😳
muja:i'm so clumsy!
mikan:you're not speacial
*insert "i've been waiting for this!!" meme*
edit: i'm simping over your senpai redesign
Taro in YanSim: stale bread
Taro in your style: 👀👌
I REALLY agree with these because yandere dev literally forgets about dress code and that there minors. The muja one is ALOT better because she's a nurse which means she has to were appropriate clothes.
I absolutely love how adorable Oka looks! And I love the redesigns, very creative
Can I just say I forgot about this entirely
ngl ur redesigned oka made me love her even more (shes my favorite character)
I really like your redesigns. it gives a lot more sense, since senpai's handsome, and along with that trait comes the girls. the narrative fits well along with your designs.
ayano feels emotions after meeting senpai, so she changed herself a ton, especially to look a little better and up to his type, which is cutesy girl with a type for books to try and score her senpai, while murdering the others that are being a little to close to him. it's already been told that she can fake emotions as well, which to her cutesy persona to be an absolute lie.
they look exactly like the cast of a typical anime rom-com, except put on the dark twist, which is the yandere side of ayano. this fits so damn well! this this actually fits well as a game itself!
Fun fact, Oka used to have a turtleneck sweater with her uniform
So this redesign is more accurate to the older model, but way better
All 3 of these characters are so CUTE! i love all these ideas and oka has to be my favourite. She comes off as more of a goth, and spooky with the shading you used. You're such a good designer!
Oka having dark skin fits so well! She's all dark and black, so why can't she be black herself?
Also, I like Muja Kina and Mida Rana's characters, but their role in games are so fucked up and illegal.
You redesigns are very pretty! But I got something bc I noticed some people didn't know it and misunderstood the Muja thing:
Muja Kina is NOT in love with Taro, in her wiki it says she simply sees him as someone interesting and would like him as a friend rather than a romantic interest, also she is not a nurse, she is studying to become a nurse (meaning she is in university or something, which makes you giving her an uniform have very sense) so yeah, i like muja (even if sadly she was just designed by pedodev fetiszhes and as fanservice) and it makes me sad that people think she is as creepy as Mida is 😭
The whole thing that makes her a rival is said in her official description, mentioning that many boys like her and ayano fears that senpai might also like her for her clumsy and air-headed nature.
With that said, your redesign was very good and amazing, she still looks very cute and THANK YOU FOR CHANGING HER ATROCIOUS "NURSE" UNIFORM, DAMN PEDODEV HE DOESN'T KNOW DRESS CODING IS A THING
i think people like this concept of people that are pale being goth because contrast is something that's really beautiful. Like a black person in pastel colors? I live for it. A white person in dark colors? Yes. A black person in dark colors or white person in pastel colors? I mean, it works, but it doesn't give the same vibe, so I guess that's why there are so many goth characters that are pale, but I would absolutely love seeing more black characters that are completely like kawaii and dress all in pastel, they would be so pretty
Not gonna lie I actually love the different approach on Oka's goth appearance :O
Yo I really fw these new designs. Like I feel like this is way more fitting for the game. I love Oka's design and I promise it's not because She s my favorite character. But once again I feel way more fitting! Her hair, clothes- EVEN HER SKIN JUST FEELS PERFECT!! For Muja I liked how you aged her down and made her out to be the mature one and not the whole sexy nurse stereotype. Because now that I think about it whenever I see her all I can think about for some reason is Mikan from Dangaronpa 2 : Goodbye Despair.
The moment I saw the blush I went
“Oh....oh no....he’s cute...”
Ok but like, ✨their art style is amazing✨, also I love their redesigns, especially Oka (which makes sense since she’s my favorite rival)
i love oka, i think her persona she's really cool. i agree that the mini skirt had to go, but other than that oka is my favourite rival
I love your concept for the nurse! Maybe she could be the student assistant in the nurse’s office during clean up hours? So she would still spend time in the office
ooohhh!!!! all of these are really cool!!!! i really like oka and the nurse girl theyre so cute!!!! you should do the baker rival next i think she would look poggers in your style!!! btw is it ok if i draw one of them?
Go on ahead! I actually planned on drawing amai next but she’s one of my favorite designs already so don’t expect anything too outrageous :p
I absolutely love the oka redesign! And this is coming from an oka fan gril!
Same
MAN! I LOVE THESE REDESIGNS OMG- and I really do like the first one! I think yandere dev should add more black characters, because, well, there are none in his game, and the characters (I bet) would look so cute! Either way REALLY love the redesigns! :D
i really think Taro act kind of like Haruhi does when they're being a host in Ouran High School Host Club. he's a naturally humble boy who's maybe a little shy but he also like talking to people and stuff. (basically I'm projecting my ADHD onto him whoops)
muja being turned into a student who helps the nurse alot pretty much ever since she joined the skl two yrs ago and when shes busy with meetings (there would be an increase in the teacher meetings bc of the murders) takes over and eventually meeting taro through this would be so much better
Ok but can we talk about how adorable Oka looks now-
Sleepy goth? You could even call it...
*Sloth*
I really like the way that you changed Muja to be a student, her new design is adorable!
I would love if Oka canonically had that hair.
i like how oka's redesign has darker skin, there aren't enough darker skinned shy characters
I love the changes, especially Senpias, Senpai has a lot more personality in his looks now, it’s really refreshing
the senpai redesign really gave me takumi usui from maid sama vibes, primarily the hair style and i really like that!
I really like your Muja design and concept, but if she's really clumsy, she maybe will also have some ban-aids on her, (some what like Mikan Tsumiki from Danganronpa), and since she wants to become a nurse, she can also maybe use herself as a practice first. If she's really clumsy, she might often trip herself somewhere, then she can maybe use her clumsiness as a advantage of a practice because she would at least learn how to take care of HERSELF first before even taking care of OTHERS
I really like your redesigns!! You said the teacher could not be salvageable but I think you could make her a very smart student that wants to become a teacher and it's a teacher assistant. So she always hangs out with the other teachers
when i watched this vid, and abt the nurse rival, i like to think that she is also 18, like everyone else and that she is also a stundent that goes to classes, but she is the nurse's left hand person, like helper, yk!
edit: i havent watched the nurse rival part till the end btw, so i forgot that she is clumsy
I love the idea of making the nurse a student!!! This would really make senpai-rival interactions.... not weird.... and it would be really cute! Like senpai gets hurt and instead of going to the school nurse he goes to her for help (possibly with other stuff like maybe biology or anatomy homework) and that would make her more of a realistic potential romantic interest. Instead of ‘hehe smexy nurse put b00b on teenage boi LOL’ , she can be a well respected student who senpai genuinely admires and wants to be with. Ahhh I’m already so much more excited about her character with this change-
the taro redesign is adorable, but i wish when ppl redesigned him they kept his timidness :(( He's canonically quiet and a little bit of a pushover, so it's sad to see ppl always throwing that away to make him charming
For the nurse rival i think her daily routine is helping out the school nurse
I really like the nurse redesign but the nurse is a higher threat because she’s faculty. She would be another Kokona if she were a student. I did really like it but it doesn’t make sense.
mabey she could be the og nurses daughter which would be. a way bigger threat since the parent is falculty and could do certain things that students wouldn’t be allowed to do
I love your redesigns especially Okas like I feel it fits with the vibe, like before it kinda looked like she put a lot of effort into her outfit (with the cobweb thingy on her arms) and like it just didn't match her I think
I LIVE for your Oka design! I really think you captured the concept and character that I (and many more, probably) have always thought of her as. The dark purple hair, with the copper skin tone is just so pleasing to look at👏👌
i also applaude your art style, very cute. I really wanna practise character design, especially color pallettes, and which colors look good with which, etc, and i think you nailed the coloring of each one of these!
love it, keep doing what you do, you just got a new subscriber!
I honestly love pretty much all of your redesigns, especially for the nurse because her character made the least amount of sense. I get that he's trying to make all the characters very tropey, but the Nurse being clumsy just doesnt make any sense and isn't generally a part of the school nurse trope? And I preferred your decision to age her down. I also love that every redesign video I've seen where senpai was resdesigned, everyone always pushes so far away from the generic bland harem anime MC design XD and I really appreciate it.
When you brought up the uniforms, i was conflicted because I personally think that the sailor uniform issue only becomes an issue for me because A) The uniforms look much less professional and more childish than actual highschool uniforms and these characters are SUPPOSED to be 18 or over according to yandev, meaning they are meant to be adults, not kids B) There is no longer anything visually separating Senpai's sister from the rest of his classmates, since she is a middle schooler and just ends up wearing like, the EXACT SAME uniform as them?? Which makes it look like they go to the same school and are classmates rather than her being in middle school and substantially younger than them.
But also they're really cute uniform design at the same time xD ahh torn between wanting realistic portrayals of irl uniforms and cute design. Though I did find it odd that you said that the game didnt need to be realistic and you used that as a reason for still using the sailor uniforms, but then went on and on about the Nurse being clumsy not making any sense (thus not being realistic). But if you can apply the "it doesn't have to be realistic b/c animu game" to the uniforms surely it could apply to characters with traits that make little sense. I'm not defending the nurse as i stated above i much prefer your redesign, this was just a thought that crossed my mind as i was typing out this comment.
Tl;dr i like your redesigns! Great job on all of them!!
For taros sister, apparently she's a high school freshman not a middle schooler (2 yrs behind him but still 18 somehow?? This game is weird) haha.
I guess its a suspension of disbelief thing for me. I can buy rainbow hair,, yanderes, and characters wearing an unrealistic uniform but I draw the line at the school nurse being dangerously klutzy xD
@@Pyonkotcchi ahh I see, well the ages thing was just him bs-ing stuff so people would stop getting on his ass for having such lewd things like panty shots involving characters who are minors, when honestly he could have just replaced the panty shots feature entirely with another system for earning points. His school set up with the characters ages make no sense whatsoever because of this, but because he refuses to get rid of the lewd aspects of the gameplay, he also refuses to budge on his wonky "everyone is over eighteen but I'm still gonna call this a highschool and make everyone wear middle school uniforms" reasoning so he has an argument for anyone who gets mad about high schoolers being lewded. It's a right mess honestly.
But anyway the suspension of disbelief thing is understandable!
Omg yesssss i love okay the design is just- chefs kiss like we need more black ppl in Yandere sim she looks soooo cute
I'm actually very happy that you made Oka black, it makes me happy cause I haven't seen any black characters in the game (I'm not sure I could include the bullies cause I think they're tan)
Its pretty normal since every characters is japanese because its in Japan
@@mariachiara2616 Does Japan not have much diversity?
The bullies are tan, it's a fashion style called gyaru :)) I think America is the single most diverse continent, so it makes sense for the characters to be only Asian - on the other hand it is a fictional game and you can see Yandev wasn't going for realism in terms of character creation
@@sofias407 oh ok, sorry I wasn't sure.
@@ChelDorado there's nothing to be sorry for! Don't worry :D
Wow Muja is very cute🌸💕so kawwai
Ok hear me out: make the other teacher a flirtatious teacher's assistant.
If I had to work with the super sexy teacher, I would go a similar route to this and age her down, and I would probably go off of a similar theme that the nurse from Animaniacs had, specifically in Wakko's Wish. She mentioned that she wanted people to like her for her mind and not just her looks, and I feel like that's an angle that could be applied to a younger version of this character. She'd probably have had similar experiences as Kokona where she's assumed to be promiscuous because of how her body looks, and I think it's really important to remind people, especially younger girls who got hit hard with the puberty stick, that your body shape doesn't necessarily define you as a person.
So, for this character specifically, she could be one of the smartest students in class that was asked by their teacher to help Taro study because his grades are slipping. She is still really curvaceous and has guys throwing themselves at her a lot, and maybe she has a certain "reputation" because of either actual stuff in her past or just assumptions based on how she looks, but she wants people to know there's more to her than that, and maybe she likes Taro so much because he's the only person that's ever bothered to look past how sexy she looks and talk about more deep and intellectual things with her, even outside of her tutoring sessions.
Mida Rana (The Substitute) cant be saved
Yup Totally Agree with that
As somebody with anxiety and is a shy person. I hated that gloomy girls design she looked like some fan service oh wait- I forgot yandere dev says girls anatomy only has big booby and thick thighs. Like he treats something that’s meant to represents shy girl like some sexual fetish.
I just wanna say I love Oka's redesign.
i love oka's redesign! love to see the diversity 🥺🤝
that senpai be lookin fine tho
I like the idea of muja being younger and I feel like she helps the current nurse.
God I love them!! Oka is like an exchange student who's shy because she's different living in Japan. But then she found her occult friends so they hang out all the time. The nurse being a student is soooo cute and fixes so much. She's so precious and fits into the atmosphere perfectly and Senpai is literally so weird as an idea. So those main characters are bland so then anyone could put themselves in the position. But then in the game you play as the girl chasing after him? So it's hard to put yourself in his position since he isn't the main protag? I dunno. It does explain why Ayano is bland though cause it's also the whole thing of 'putting yourself in her shoes'. I love this version of Senpai though! He's cool and the fact he isn't generic would made girls stumble for him. Hell if he gave me attention I would flip XD I can't wait to see what else you do so I'm already onto part 3!
I had this idea of Senpai being a lazy, quiet, naive guy. All the girls fawn over him because of his friendliness and his funny mannerisms, but he’s just too invested in his own hobbies to notice that they’re drooling. He sleeps 99% of the time in class, and he’s always talking to a different person each day, and goofing around with them, instead of sitting in the same spot
aaaaaaa your oka is so cute!! i love her design! :D
Muja (The One You Designed) just struggling trying to take out the right things out of her bag while crying is all i see
Love your art! And I had an idea for the teacher, you could make it that instead of wanting a relation ship with him, she’s just preventing him from any relationship, maybe she’s his mum who works at the schools, or he’s on a scholarship or smthn that being in a relationship could ruin, that’s why she’s a rival.
It would be so cool if Muja was turned into the current nurses student aid or something like that! (So it will actually be legal..)
Lol, to be fair he did BUY the designs for his came.
He’s making new models so he might take these designs into consideration.
If he asked to use these designs, would you let him?
dude oka looks so good! and the older rivals in game designs and stories are definitely.. something...
The other character, she could be like a teacher assistant, or a straight A student that senpai asks help from like tutoring. Not the most creative route but at least its not gross like the original
your redesigns are absolutely gorgeous
Oka for the most part was fine as her canon version and it’s not like she needed too much improving in my opinion
All though it’s nice seeing more detail and stuff.
She wasn't improving it, she was just redesigning it
@@hallowseve5072
Oh I know. I was just saying as a personal opinion
Hee redesign actually looks fantastic
Sorry for any confusion
*her wow I can’t spell
In my opinion the way Oka is posed it looks like she’s grabbing her skirt trying to pull it down, I might be thinking about it too much but it looks like that to me
I love the Oka redesign for the simple fact that you made her have darker skin. As a darkskin black girl, it makes me feel very represented ✨
But making her skin black doesn't change that she is canonicaly asian, should'nt representation be from actual black charaters?
@@flyingorange2482blasians exist, and the character doesn’t have to look like you to be represented, otherwise white people and other non Asians wouldn’t feel like their favorite ASIAN anime characters
I really like your re-designs of the characters!
Oka's my my favorite character overall and it's a new take. Oka may be a exchange student who struggles with her new surroundings. Other students may see her as weird because of her appearance and interests, but she finds a group of students who are also into the occult like her.
Making Muja a student is a refreshing change. If anything, Muja would be the "big sister" type of character. She's always looking out for other students, carrying a small first aid kit and in her spare time, would be studying because she aspires to be a nurse.
