A good Character design is one which can be identified by its silhouette alone
The Silhouette Test: Why "Shape Language" is the Secret Sauce of Iconic Design
In character design, high-res textures and complex backstories are great, but they’re honestly secondary to readability.
If your character blends into the background or looks like a generic "Hero #4" clone, the design has failed its primary job.
A truly "good" design is one that communicates identity, personality, and role through nothing but a black outline.
