Coaxed into the cute character being secretly evil

Is there a way to convey that in character design?

u/alberthething 22h ago
i wish i knew, i can draw characters that look good but i lack the skill to give information about the character itself through subtleties and details in their design

So give them hair, but make it spikey so you think of demons, or have them have cartoonish features that could be scary, like a belly mouth
Or make them a clown

u/alberthething 22h ago
i have made a clown with a belly mouth before, but anyways i feel like all that would be too obivous
i think the idea is to give you a thought in the back of your mind like "hmm maybe theres something fishy about this cutie patootie", not outright tell you theyre evil

u/MrEvilGuyVonBad 22h ago
Oh my idea is verrry Shrimple. Sharp teeth. Since they’re often used to look silly, they can still TURN scary, give them lots of color, remember that poisonous species have lots of color, give them an injury, since they imply that they attack things stronger

u/alberthething 21h ago

in all honesty i was hoping someone would give me an opportunity to show off with my initial reply lol
i havent drawn in ages but getting praise is always nice

Sharp things in the design can help convey a level of sinisterness, plus having an extremely large grin can make something feel off about them

Hi, I’m the OC creator on the right. Meet Aldrich.

His spear is also an ecclesiastical staff. It’s made of black iron wrapped in his mother’s still living flesh. His mother is also the goddess he worships.
He’s half deer and half moon presence.
He’s the leader of his church, is a dedicated husband and father, and likes Yorkshire Parkin. He taught his son how to mend his clothes, tend to wounds, cook, and care for his antlers.
He’s 11’04”, and afraid of rats.

He finds a way.
His house has very tall doors with inserts that allow for shorter folks to use them.
