Summary
AnAnimal Crossingplayer has shared an interesting take on certain characters from the game, creating a look that ditches the hair on their head. The artist came up with these modified designs for the villagers based on their appearance in the latestAnimal Crossinggame,Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
There are over 400 distinct villagers available inAnimal Crossing:New Horizons, ranging from a pig-based character named Peggy to a vegetable-based character called Broccolo. Over the years, the villagers have become very popular among the players, leading to a flurry of fan-made creations that sometimes experiment with the looks of these characters. Previously, a player shared customBaldur’s Gate 3-inspired avatars of someAnimal Crossingvillagers, and now another fan has revealed their own reimagining of some well-known characters.
In a post that’s going viral on Reddit, user Ok_Clerk7021 shared their fan art that depicts a bunch ofAnimal Crossingvillagers without their hair. The redesigned characters include Peggy, Broccolo, Gloria, Bree, Monique, Hazel, Lottie, Bonbon, and Maelle. While certain villagers like Broccolo and Bree seem alright without hair, others like Gloria and Maelle appear rather odd. Interestingly, removing the hair from some of these anthromorphic characters makes them seem more like animals again. Moreover, the author revealed that the idea for the post stemmed from another player’s request on one of their other fan art posts for theStardew Valley-like game. The author added that the redesigns were done “just for fun” and do not reflect any dissatisfaction with the original designs.
