I might just go off on a design pet peeve rant...

Ok here it it:

MERGING/CROSSING OVER 3 Iconic things ( and why i feel so strongly about it)

Here we see a collectible

The 3 main features of this spongebob figure is that:

•it is spongebob https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1">
•it is half dissected/skeletonhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2">
•it is in the style of 1920& #39;s cartoons https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3"> ( eg. the style of eyes + greyscale colour scheme)

...imo? It& #39;s too much.

but why?

I strongly believe that when you mix THREE or MORE iconic elements into one piece of art/design, it loses some specialness in each iconic element chosen

It is still very much unique!

However, it feels like an overload to me.

An example of something i think very much works well: 2 iconic elements crossing over

Here we have:
• Frodo and Gandalf https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1">
in the style of
• Calvin and Hobbes https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2">

... and this makes sense ! Both iconic elements can be greatly appreciated and do not feel out of place

if i then made this fucking
calvin and hobbes + gandalf and frodo set in the FAMILY GUY UNIVERSE , it doesnt make sense anymore and really feels like a clusterfuuuck
