Line 61:
* The Fairy Prince's pet bumblebee from ''[[Thumbelina]]'' is for some reason drawn very realistically compared to the otherwise cartoonish-looking animals that appear in the film.
* In the ''[[Cars]]'' series films, all of the characters' eyes are drawn on their windshields. In the sequel, a background salescar has, for some reason, her eyes on her headlights instead, thus looking like she wandered out of the set of ''[[A Car's Life: Sparky's Big Adventure|A Cars Life Sparkys Big Adventure]]''.
* In ''[[Chirin no Suzu]]/[[The Ringing Bell]]'', a cute, adorable little lamb becomes a monstrous ram that looks nothing like what he did as a kid or really any other sheep in the movie. It's [[Justified]] because of [[Training
* In ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'', while all of the other characters are drawn realistically and tend to be somewhat fleshy, Dr. Facilier is unusually tall and [[Noodle People]] thin.
** Same with Jafar from ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''. Everyone else is drawn with curves, Jafar is drawn with straight lines!
Line 96:
** Asagi was originally from [[Makai Kingdom]] before she started making appearances in the Disgaea series, so she had slightly different proportions than the rest of the cast. But this trope ''really'' came into play in [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]], where every character gets nice looking HD sprites...and Asagi's still pixilated! If you speak to her, a few of her quotes [[Lampshade Hanging|draw attention to this fact]]. A high-res version of her is free DLC, however. And the new Asagi will even talk about how nice it feels to be HD.
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', by virtue of being a crossover, features many different types of character designs in one universe. The toony [[Funny Animal]]s from the [[Classic Disney Shorts]], the less toony [[Disney Animated Canon]] characters, the cast of ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'' who have more detailed textures due to their [[Stop Motion]] roots, the Anime-like [[Original Generation|Original]] and ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' characters, and the ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' and ''[[Tron]]'' casts, who are as close to photo-realistic depictions of their actors as the game engine will allow. The first four groups mesh pretty well, but the addition of the last group makes things [[Roger Rabbit Effect|pretty]] [[Uncanny Valley|jarring]].
** In ''[[Birth By Sleep]]'', instead of getting a design in Nomura's normal style but with bigger feet and brighter colors, which is standard for the ''Final Fantasy'' cameos, [[Final Fantasy VII|Zack Fair]]'s design is heavily influenced by the style used in ''[[Hercules (
* ''[[Parajump (Darth Wiki)|Parajump]]'', a video game in pre-production, has this as its main gimmick. Overlaps with [[Mars Needs Women]] in that the main character has a fetish for anime-eque characters.
* Thanks to [[Lazy Artist|constantly reusing the same outdated sprites]], Morrigan looks completely out-of-place in [[Marvel vs. Capcom|all of her 2D non-]]''[[Darkstalkers]]'' [[Capcom vs. SNK Millennium Fight 2000|appearances]].
Line 114:
== Web Comics ==
* In ''[[Tsunami Channel|Experimental Comic Kotone]]'', the author had difficulty drawing a convincing middle-aged father... so he based [http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2006-03-27&comic=ExCoKo Laika's dad] on a character from ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'', making stand out next everyone else, who are drawn in a simplified [[Moe Moe]] style.
* In ''[[Fite!]]'', Mutali was originally designed to look very out-of-place compared to the rest of the characters, but the author changed his mind and switched to a character design in a style more like the others. [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/mike_luce/fite/series.php?view=single&ID=46349 Original,] [http://home.comcast.net/~x8099/thomasblue/fite5to8.html#5 final.]
* Gharsena, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Garanos]]'', is the only character who's drawn [[Black Eyes|without any light reflections in her eyes]], no doubt to emphasize her [[Complete Monster]]dom.
* In ''[[Overcompensating]]'', Andrew Hussie is [http://overcompensating.com/posts/20101005.html portrayed] in a pixelated style with animated fidgeting reminiscent of the art for his webcomic ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]''.
Line 150:
** Averted in ''[[Gadget and the Gadgetinis]]'', where her design is closer to how everyone else in the show looks.
* ''[[Twipsy]]'' draws a sharp distinction between humans, who're drawn in a style vaguely reminiscent of ''[[Rugrats]]'', and AIs like the title character, who resemble nothing so much as Cubist portraits.
* Mr. Stenchy is actually the only alien experiment from ''[[Lilo
* The title duo from ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'' are constructed more realistically and carefully than the rest of the characters. [http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3474/3789426538_b445375f9a_z.jpg Especially prominent in this shot].
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'': [[God]] is actually the ''only'' character in the show to ever actually be drawn with [[Four-Fingered Hands|five fingers on each hand, and five toes on each foot.]]
