User blog:JoshTheKnife/What I start to see in character designs...

So, it's Mixels' two year anniversary that I'm so happy for! So, I might as well talk about how Mixels is changing over the years. But not just anything: character design.

The Opinion
Hear me out, but it obviously seems Mixels is thinking more outside of the box when it comes to future Mixels. From S7 and onwards, it seems the Mixels has to resemble a certain object or be focused around an actual entity. And they all seem to include:


 * Kuffs - Police chief
 * Busto - Jail cell
 * Tiketz - Motorcycle
 * Camillot - Castle tower
 * Mixadel - Catapult
 * Paladum - Pegasus
 * Jamzy - Guitar
 * Tapsy - Drum set
 * Trumpsy - Trumpet
 * Splasho - Fire hydrant
 * Aquad - Fire plane
 * Hydro - Fire truck
 * Shark - Pirate captain shark
 * Skulzy - Pirate skull
 * Lewt - Chest crab
 * Surgeo - Surgeon
 * Skrubz - Defibrillator/lamp
 * Tuth - Dentist/giant tooth
 * Sweepz - A rodent of some sort
 * Compax - Garbage truck
 * Gobbol - Dumpster
 * Mysto - Sensei
 * Cobrax - Cobra
 * Spinza - Ninja
 * Screeno - News reporter/TV
 * Camsta - News coptor
 * Myke - Radio of some sort

But overall, what I'm trying to say is, I'm starting to like these new ideas! I mean, now that I think of it, it seems the earlier Mixels seem to don't have that object/animal-esque theme. I mean, what does Zorch resemble? Or even Slumbo or Burnard? They seem to almost resemble a regular Mixel! But with S7 and onwards, Mixels are starting to be more unique.

Plus, the designs are starting to be more complex. I mean, the earlier Mixels seem to start off with simple geometric, especially with some Mixels like Zorch, Zaptor, Tentro, Flain, Krader, and onwards! But now, there's starting to some intense patterns. Heck, the Newzers even have a complex logo of the Mix TV on them, Myke has a tape of some sort on his chest, and Tapsy has a large "The Mixies" logo there! Heck, if you make them into the Minimal style, that would really make them stand out as unique as others! But with Zorch, he only starts off with a few easy and simple designs on him. But not to go further into this, but it seems the outline is thicker and much more bolder.

Conclusion
Overall, Mixels has really come a long way with Mixels since two year! Can you believe that? Although some people may not be the most excited about the anniversary, I can respect that. The people behind Mixels are starting to expand their horizon and think outside the box. Maybe some people aren't THAT happy with the new Mixel designs, I can respect that. Heck, even I somehow find some disappointment here, but that doesn't mean I entirely hate it. But, all in all, there is good interest in these future Mixels, and I'm excited to see what else they have for us!
