I love how ur briefly explaining what everyone does wrong in the gacha fnaf community for 3 years- never rlly saw anyone talk abt their clothes until i finally saw a video abt it, (which is yours!) I love ur designs

My elizabeth is slaying with neon hair

I personally like using the Face mask as the muzzle, and just have either the hair (if going the furry route) or a big screw (if going more realistic) to cover up the strings. Also, something I like to do is give animatronic characters regular White Gloves. It gives them a more "kid-friendly" asthetic, as the classic gloves might be reminiscent of characters like Mickey Mouse. Edit: Everyone: Arguing about stolen human character designs that look like regular humans Me, Having my Human designs be based on 8-bit sprites: B] Edit 2: About the Mrs. Afton Dress thing... BUT IT'S SO PRETTY THOUGH

At this point, Because of FNaF I’m about to learn the entire history from the 80’s to the 90’s just to be able to be able to design them accurately…

I researched 80’s fashion so much for my fnaf designs that I accidentally dress nearly all my ocs with an 80’s style 😭 But anyways, for people who want more help with 80’s clothing, here is what I’ve learned: Girls wore both pants and skirts during this period. Something I’ve come to notice is that it was mostly younger girls wearing the skirts, but any age could. Younger girls wore stockings or socks under their skirts! Usually also heels, wedges, or flats. The tops could vary, ranging from sweaters to blouses to sweater vests. When wearing shorts/pants, girls would more likely wear sneakers. For tops for boys, they typically wore sweaters, sweater vests, or polo shirts. For pants, jeans were pretty popular, though there were also plenty khakis and shorts. Boys might wear sneakers, sometimes oxfords. Overalls and suspenders were popular! 80’s were BIG on patterns! Stripes, logos, plaid, tartan, etc. Get creative with it! For example, head accessory 235 can be adjusted over the body to look like the diamond pattern of a sweater vest. For hair, like as said in the video, curly hair was very popular. Curly mullets were popular among teenage boys. For younger boys, if their hair wasn’t curly, it was usually neatly combed (maybe even in a bowl cut if you think you could pull that off.) Girls had a bit more variety with their hair. Curly hair was a yes (typically shorter curly hair), bangs were a yes, strict-straight ruler hair was a yes. Pigtails and ponytails too. For example: My Elizabeth design is a heart-patterned long sleeve button-up blouse, with a jean skirt with a rose embroidered into it. She has knee-high white socks and brown wedges. Also, a thick head of ginger curls. My CC design has him with a navy-blue striped polo shirt, wearing blue-green shorts with suspenders, knee-high deep blue socks, oxfords, a bowl cut, and a little pizza patch on his chest. Michael, who I was going for a more 80’s emo/punk vibe with, has a black t-shirt on under his gray tank top, which he cut the sleeves off of. Baggy jeans with black spiked boots, a curly mullet, as well as acne, sideburns, and yellow teeth from smoking (DON’T be afraid to give your ‘ugly’ traits! It makes them feel more real!) Also, something I see a lot of in the community: Portraying the behavior of the 80’s. It’s sad to say, but the 80’s were VIOLENTLY homophobic. After the hippie movement of the 60’s-70’s, we went through a conservative spike. Also the AIDS epidemic that started in ‘83, the public opinion of homosexuals was not good. That is not to say you can’t headcanon a LGBT character, but it was much more likely they’d be closeted and probably even hold internal homophobia. It wasn’t IMPOSSIBLE to flaunt being gay publicly, but it could put you in real danger. People died in hate crimes. It’s sad, but its something we can’t erase just because it makes us uncomfortable. Smoking- smoking was HUGE in the 80’s, among adults and kids alike. Nicotine stains were like badges of honor. The lines of child abuse; What is considered child abuse and child neglect today was quite commonplace back then. Hitting kids was allowed, hell, even hitting OTHER people’s kids was allowed in some scenarios. So was locking them in their room. I’m sure we’ve all heard our parents tell us about how, “Back in MY day, I’d leave the house on my bike as soon as the sun came up and not come home until dinner!” That sort of stuff was actually acceptable back then. Of course, if you REALLY wanna portray accurate 80’s characters, remember to do your OWN research on the fashion, the public opinions, and the current events of the time. This was just to help you get a real idea of how the 80’s were. :)

I finally found some who actually gives a straight forward example of what to do with designs And someone whos also addicted to using the checker shoulder peice ^^

the bright colors tip>>>> I hate when people say to never use bright colors, they're beautiful and exist to be used, just use it wisely i'm not really from the fnaf community, but this video seems really good in general for anything related to character design

HOW DID I MISS IT??? You're sense of colour is so good, finally a person that ACTUALLY understands how desing works! Even though I'm not in fnaf gacha community anymore I still remember making videos like this myself, and I'm so glad to see more people give actually nice tips. Also, I'M JUST IN LOVE WITH YOUR DESIGNS! TOTALLY SUBBING!!

Watching this while knowing i dont even post any gacha

These are actually incredibly helpful! I usually try making my designs canon enough to where you can easily tell who is who while also making them a little unique and slightly different. Mrs. Afton is who I really go overboard with i usually dress her like she's fresh out the victorian era so the tips for her are helpful 😅 Thank you for making this 😁

These tips and tricks are really interesting and inspiring !! The way you explain could get everyone to easily understand. Great job!, you have made an excellent, and understandable explanation. I'm also struggling with creating and fixing my designs. Time by time, they need a lot of adjusting and improvement to achieve the style and designs I prefer and want. Your tutorial and explanations are very helpful, and the tips and tricks are very creative. And you also pointed out the copying and the kind of character others portray William as, which is pretty hilarious. And as well as the timeline issue, people mess up badly on that. But this tutorial you have made could bring their attention and make them understand properly ! I'm pretty glad that there are some people like you who could help others out with problems like this. Thanks a bunch, man !! I'll try to use this tutorial on my designs, and I hope others do too !/gen (recommented this because there was a word misspelled-...)

From a small gachatuber to a big one i want to say, thank you. I've been struggling with the designs for quite some time (especially at William Appleton) but those tips made me more confident in my ocs and i could do something good out of them. Maybe you will not read this or maybe you will, i just want to let you know that I am very thankful for the tips, have a good day everyone. (Ok i kinda overdramatized-)

Well Ennard with the jacket/hoodie around the waist can be amazing!

This is amazing, I completely agree with EVERYTHING said in this video. From the copying, to the lack of originality, to the tints even! And I love how you pointed out the timelines! I try my best to use that with my designs, Past & Present. Like example for Michael, for my teenage Mike/foxy bro (if you will), I tried my best to go for an 80’s look with the denim jacket & jeans. And for my “present”/future design I went with more of an actual 2020’s kind of style, while still Jaime him actually look his age(which some can struggle with lol😭). But anyway, this video is awesome & extremely helpful, especially for newer creators!!

For someone who uses Neon colours for her characters i definetly loved this tutorial , you gave me some good advice to make a better use of neon colours! Thank you so much. Also , your editing style is beautiful , just loved it!

This helped so much! Do you think you could ever do a video on making the more “canon” animatronic designs? They are a lot more complicated and I tend to struggle with making them look like animatronics and not bald, furry Gacha characters 💀

Ur honestly so underrated in my opinion your better than bigger fnaf gachatubers like silvermoon_kassoni

This is one of the best designs tutorials I’ve ever seen. I definitely agree with all the points. Especially the one about clothes fitting they’re time. Even though I’m not in the gacha FNAF community, I think it rings true for a lot of beginner gachas and artists.

Is actually helped a lot. Although I like to draw and design, I am not very creative. I stick with a consistent design and color pallet, and honestly it has caused problems recently... Taking a look at my recent Singing Battle, you might see a problem. The only one that sticks out is Golden Freddy & Funtime Freddy, and even then, Funtime Freddy seems the most unique... I've been meaning to change their designs, and honestly this might help A LOT. Thank you, very much. 💙

Thank you ! I wanted to do the Afton family and some animatronics on gacha club ! Now I will be able to create them better !

i’m so shocked at these explanations, they are incredibly well explained i’m so glad i saw this although i haven’t been in the fnaf community since like 2020 LMAO, but i feel like anyone should watch thus and be able to decide how to do their characters. this is great advice in general for all types of art, or just ANY gacha character! i’ll be sure to use this ,, your a genius i can’t express how well you explained this. i have difficulty understanding things due to my mental incapacity but this is incredible!

Finally someone who talked abot the clothes! I have noticed it so too but i was too afraid to say it. good job

for my aftons i just did stuff such as search "1980s housewife" (mrs afton) or search "80s teen boy fashion" (michael) since i have no idea on what 80s fashion would look like. i can confirm it looks a lot better, sure i don't post my fnaf content but i make it just because im bored and like to watch my own stuff-

Thank you so much for these tips. I've been struggling with how I want my characters to look, and this will definitely help a lot. Thank you! ^^

I literally love how you’re explaining that they have an 80’s style and not a certain one. Also yes the highlighting problem is a thing too for the stereotypical Aftons. (not hating on anyone who does this) Like please- at least make them a bit darker. 😭 This is definitely gonna help me make my Aftons more their style in the near future when I start making videos! Thanks a lot! 😊

For the animatronic design part, I have the mix of canon and furry. I give them like hair to reference fur and clothing, but I make them extremely tall and have creepy eyes

I'm so happy someone FINALLY talks about the clothes! I wanna see more designs that actually look like they're from the 80s 😭

I luckily follow all of these stuff already, and i’m happy to see that someone finally notices the problem with most mrs afton designs. Every tip in this video is 100% true and accurate. I’m subscribing, yours is some really good content mate!! ❤️❤️

It's hard not to copy when we all have the same clothing catalog sometimes you don't copy and it happens accidentally

I really like the tips!I basically just try to give my characters more canon and simple designs that are not too complicated.Its easy to edit and doesn't look complicated

I like having my past Aftons from before the dark stuff be much brighter and then dull them out slightly after.

Tips for fashion in the 80s: shoulder pads! Particularly on women, shoulder pads were a huge thing. There was also a lot of experimentation with make-up, in the early 80s the makeuo was light and more reminiscent to the 70's fresh faces, wheras in the mid to late eighties, makeup became much bolder. The hair was *big*, curly and often either teased and hair sprayed or crimped to hell and back. There were lots of ponytails and fringes back then, and mullets were a popular thing for men. Hair was often thick and wavy, check out some eighties movies for inspiration! Also keep in mind, it's very likely that fnaf is set in England, so the fashion is likely to vary.

Dude, thank you so much for this!! I’ve always struggled with FNAF designs. Thank you so much

I literally adore this, it explains everything so much and can help so many people 😭 (Your designs are absolutely adorable)

That was literally the BEST explanation video fnaf gacha community ever had!!!

I really appreciate this video, its improved not only my fnaf designs, but also my regular designs a lot. Especially the hair and brighter color tips

Wow! Your designs are amazing! I was trying to make Afton family designs a while ago (after cringing at my older Afton designs of making them hot and modern), but could never get it look right. I'm suprised at myself for never using tinting, so I might try that and retry making Afton characters. Thank you so much for making this!

this video is really helpful and I like how you included stuff with color and time periods I feel like that’s a big thing people strugle with! thank you for making a tip video and I hope to see more of your content in the future

Thanks! I will start reconsidering my designs more often. You explained everything very well and not complicated at all. I love your character designs by the way! ^^

I've really been struggling with the design category, and this helped a ton, maybe I'll start creating one day thanks to you! :D

Yessss finally someone understands 7:48

This helps a lot because sometimes my designs look like 2018 and I personally hate that style because it looks too clean, and characters in 2018 end up looking very unorganized and way too bright, and that’s why I use 65% tint on this blueish purplish color, and one thing people don’t like to understand is the fact that gacha club/gacha life is a game all about being creative and unique, instead people just copy others :/

another tip id add is when designing the missing children/ ghost characters dont add the animal accessorys, personally i design mine to look like how they wouldve died in, eg: my elizabeth doesnt have clown features all she is is black and white with blood and the spirit eyes and open mouth. the whole assessories with the animatronic features icks me this might just be a pet peeve of mine tho lol.

Most Underrated tutorial I have seen this Year I swear- It explains everything very good And gives you EXAMPLES to see for yourself 😩 Planning on Coming back to the community actually ^^

Random tip: The crying child shouldn’t really have his brain sticking out, the bite would’ve at max cracked his skull hitting the brain. not completely breaking the skull showing his brain

Thank you so much! I’ve always wanted to make my characters look like the 80s but never had ideas. I tried to do google but I saw some pictures that weren’t good examples. You gave me way more tips then Google could ever. 😎

This is incredibly helpful! I'm planning on getting back into making FNAF videos, so I'll be keeping all this in mind for the designs ^^

Thank you so much for making this video. Even though I just saw it randomly pop up and decided to give it a watch! This actually inspired me to try and design my own versions of the fnaf characters again even though I've kinda left the gacha fnaf fandom. And I do agree on how odd it was to see so many William designs look like he's way younger than he should be even though I didn't mind until you pointed it out since I would focus more on the what's happening in those videos rather than taking a closer look at the character designs

thank you very much for the tips and tricks for FNAF designs!! I finally have some idea of how to make Mrs Afton, thanks to your amazing tutorial! ^^ hope you're having a great day today! stay safe :)

Saying that people make william a 20ish twink boy was hilarious

I am very happy you posted this because this was a serious problem needed to be announced and I love your tips!

This is such a great explanation video! Love your thoughts while designing characters, your creativity is amazing! ^_^ The use of colors for the animatronics are also really nice‼️‼️

I love your character designs, I do hope one day I have your understanding of colour theory. Thank you for posting this video have a good day! ❤

I ADORE YOUR DESIGNS

Thank you,I used the clothing tip and other things and it made a MASSIVE improvement to my FNAF designs :)

I just saw this video- This video is a great way of helping beginners with gacha and help people be more original, you explained everything so perfectly! ( Your designs are amazing by the way, their clothes and color pallets suit them a lot! ) And I agree with the "do not copy" part. I see a bunch of people copying off famous gacha tubers and them trying to twist the roles around, which isnt fair and is actually disrespectful. The tips you gave are much appreciated! ✨️ Edit 1: I actually wanted to make ennard and the funtimes for future videos, so i appreciate you giving the viewers some tips to make the masks and such.

Finally good video about desings

I love how you tried to help the FNaF gacha community, I will definitely listen to this, but I would like my AU to look more like the animatronics (but not realistic) and most animatronics are more dull than fun so I tried to go for that, (like fredbears diner, originals, phantoms, etc..) but ty for telling us to make them look for better! ^^

First i wanna say, thank you for this so much, i see your points so much, this really makes me wanna improve my gacha designs, not even for the fnaf fandom but other fandoms im in lol, thank you so much ^^

i used some of these tips :) this really helps me a lot, and i love your design style btw!!

I honestly agree to all of this. it’s an amazing and pretty understandable. i feel like it would be great if you could talk about how some people make the clothes way different then the canon clothes. like you said making the kids clothes bright and colorful is fine but I just don’t like how some people add clothes very different from the canon designs. Like adding hats, random scars/marks. This was very helpful though so thank you. Have a wonderful day. I didn’t watch the whole thing so I’m very sorry if you explained this. Bye

These are interesting tips I’m going to give some a try thx

Out of all of the tips videos for fnaf characters, yours was the best. I’ll definitely change a lot of my designs

I used to copy designs all the time since i felt down on myself and thought my designs werent good- But now i make my own and i can say, all i needed was to just pratice making them every now and then. And now? I have offical (kind of) designs! I do kind of change them sometimes since every once in a while they look not to my expectations so i change them a bit til i like them again. It's real easy to be original.

omg molten freddy is sooo good!

9:12-9:20 Here are some tips! Fnaf 2 came earlier in the timeline. (In most AUS) Make them look older! Fnaf 1 should have more fur. Fnaf 2 should use little to no fur (exception to hair) besides chica’s tuft Fnaf 2 Should have brighter colors and more unique clothing for their flashiness.

Hey. I stumbled across your channel recently. And oh dear i am obsessed! I watch your videos almost every day!. I love the way you breifly explain what's going on. And how talented you are at making videos and designs.

I literally never noticed this until you pointed it out,so thankful you that.

i personally like to make designs like how i draw them

something im guilty of is giving mrs. afton more old fashioned dresses than what would be normal for the 80s😅 i also like to kinda mix the furry and realistic styles of the animatronics by giving them clothes and hair while also making their faces similar to the canon designs! i think it gives them more personality :]

OMG THESES DESIGNS ARE INCREDIBLE 💅

I LOVE THIS AND ITS SO TRUE THE FNAF COMMUNITY ALL HAVE SUCH SIMILAR DESIGNS SO I LOVE THE ORIGINALITY

Hey I’ve got a suggestion using just balck won’t work but using colors similar to balck or just dark like dark blue red and pink (Edit)Hey to everyone who read my comment I meant this don’t just use plain black like use colors closer to black like dark blue/purple don’t be afraid to experiment hope this helped clear things a lot more ​​⁠

I have a video ideal u could do designs tips for the future aftons

I love the character designs and thank you for some facts! This will help me next time I make a Gacha character.

It's incredible how my KZfaq fyp is so connected to what I'm looking for. I loved this video, it really is incredible and it also helped me a lot. Now I know better how to make my characters.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I will definitely work more on my designs as most of them were just replicas of the games/movies.

The time period part is true. I be seeing The Crying Child in the most 2022 (Ik it’s not 2022 anymore but it gives that vibes) outfit on planet earth.

Thank you so much! Honestly this tip just helps me woth characters in general. My channel and stories are set place in different areas of one world. The main theme of the world is fantasy style mixed with mordern tech and style. You really helped a lot thx!
