10 years ago, pic related happened, which led to the creation of a bunch more Channel-Tans, and even a weekend general.
2 years later, the fad just kinda fizzled out, but it was fun while it lasted.
I know TV Channels are somewhat dying now, but don't feel too bad, we were always already discussing many dead channels anyway.
So let's have a thread to remember them if nothing else.
Whether you were there for the golden age of /ctg/, or you're just finding about them now, let's talk about Channel-Tans once again.

Not Canadian, not super familiar with the channel, but I did like Tentaclebot's original weird slimy 3-eyed design of YTV.
That's why I wasn't such a big fan of the later more streamlined design.
But I AM a big fan of the latest redesign where she got a big weird hand with eyes, love asymmetrical designs like these.

Don't quote me on this, cause I already kinda left by the time it died, but I think it was something like
>a Discord where a bunch of artists got together and were basically organizing /ctg/ behind the scenes
>a break from the threads they all collectively decided to take, but the threads kept going and led to arguing and lack of activity
>someone was apparently using bots to fake interest in the threads, while also commissioning art of the tans to make it seem like there were still artists around
Again, not super familiar with it, but that's kinda the impression that I got.

I remembered this the other day and checked if /v/'s equivalent, Console-Tans, were still around.
Really thought they weren't, but man was I wrong, they still have threads about them, they just had one last Tuesday.
It didn't reach bump limit, but the fact that they still have those weekly threads is honestly impressive nonetheless, but also kinda sad that /co/ couldn't keep up.
Guess TV Channels aren't as good for this kind of thing.
And also /co/ sucks at stuff like these, as it's been proven multiple times.

>>154047853
Maybe, but I'd argue the original designs are too iconic to change, and feel timeless enough to still capture the overall essence of the channels.
Also, I didn't wanna rag on the new designs too much, but they're either about the same quality, or worse, definitely not good enough to justify changing those old great designs.

(i only made the initial one on a whim due to peer pressure; a different anon made the one in picrel)
>>
I never really got into channel-tans, but I thought it was a fun idea similar to board-tans that got way out of hand when people began making designs for any station and not just ones with a Predominant focus on Animation. Whatever retarded interpersonal drama happened (like the reply above mine referring to some /v/ schizo I don't know about because I seldom go on /v/), the idea was already on the outs from scope creep. The point of the tans is funny scenarios for interaction, which you can't really do when all your time is spent on developing a constantly growing cast. It's the same reason I dropped Komi-san and I never picked up "The 100 Girlfriends", because when you have or get to a certain quantity, it takes an incredible amount of talent to maintain quality. It's not an abortion of an idea, it's a toddler that drank something under the sink because nobody put any child-locks on that cabinet.

That paragraph you vagueposted about without replying to was the only post I had made in the thread. If you're implying that I'm El Barto, then you should know I fucking hate Thong Squad: it's the most shallow "project" /co/ has ever tried to turn into a recurring thing. You also understand nothing of namefag mentality to think he'd ever take his name off, even if it were just to sockpuppet fake engagement with himself. You'd better turn off all the lights in your house so you don't keep jumping at shadows, retard.

What I do is I read through the whole thread before I make my reply, and then I just write whatever I wanna say. You happened to be schizo-posting, so I included that in my general treatise. After making my post, I keep the thread open and read the posts after mine, which happened to include you including me in your schizo ramblings. You know the biggest sign of genuinely, clinically deranged posting? Replying without replying, like you did in the latter two posts I called you out on. If it upsets you so much, hide the thread and do something better with your time. Maybe get some sleep, it's after midnight where I am and I'm going to bed after posting this.

I imagine that they would be a girl, considering how many female protagonists Glitch has. That, or a very feminine-presenting male.
As for their personality they probably have a Napoleon complex and very ambitious to out do the traditional industry girls, especially Disney channel and her family.

>>154065062
Not him, but while I think it's a sidegrade at best, and just Pepper Ann in a different font at worst, it's unnecessary either way when the original designs are already so beloved. There's no need to fix what isn't broken, and like I said earlier, the original designs are too good and iconic to change, specially with these new propositions, which aren't really as good imo.
There's also the fact that they were embraced naturally, Aipiepo didn't have to post them over and over and ask for others to draw them, they just became popular on their own, Barto on the other hand will just keep posting his design and requesting others to draw it, and when that fails, he'll just commission artists, it just feels annoying to see him try to force his design over one that has already been accepted for so long.
It's unneeeded, it's forced, and I honestly wish he'd stop, or just formally make her into an OC of his and detach her from Channel-Tans, that way he could at least ask for others to draw her without trying to replace the old one.
>>
>>
>>154065616
El Barto would do better to make a tan of some other channel or streaming service instead
And his Nick-tan redesign looks like a 90's era Nick-tan design, not something that represents the modern era

>>154065257
>How did you manage that shit?
Mods never gave a reason, they just said "its a general" and moved it.
Rumor has it that it was moved because a long running drawthread spammer was giving the mods so many issues, they simply moved the threads elsewhere. Instead of you know, range banning and fixing the actual problem.
>You talk to the same mod that shuts down /co/ threads on saturday?
What are you on about? No. I think its gay that they nuke drawthreads now because of catfags. The learned nothing post hack to treat the userbase better.

I basically speedran this because >>154065987 beat me to a Tubi design, I really needed to share my take.
Nothing against that design, it's just that it's basically the exact opposite of what I was picturing lol, I wanted her to look weird in a different way.
Also a long nose like >>154050966.
She's also partly influenced by my own experience with using Tubi, which is mainly having fun with a bunch of silly shit and some genuinely good stuff.

It could be the same deal as with [adult swim] where there are two versions of her for the two eras of audience appeal: yours could be the new hire representing all the new acquisitions they've made, while the other one could be her manager who cares more about obscure schlock (vintage and modern) but knows they need more than that to keep the lights on.

Thanks
>>154068019
>representing all the new acquisitions they've made
You say that, but I specifically imagined her liking obscure schlock.
She definitely likes her new acquisitions, but weird, obscure, and shlocky stuff would still be her true love.
Maybe I'm just projecting, but that's what I watch the most on Tubi, no other streaming service is like it, it's WEIRD and it's FUN. Sure the new stuff is cool and I'm glad Tubi has gained popularity because of it, but to me, Tubi is always gonna be that weird streaming service with all the stuff that the others won't take, and will show it with pride.
It's really up to you guys tho, it's just that like I said, I made her with this characterization in mind >>154048346, she's supposed to LOVE schlock.Alternatively, if no one wants her and/or an agreement can't be reached, I could always just reuse the design as an OC lol

They're sizable, something like a single A or double A studio but nowhere near the level of a network like CN or Disney. People think they're comfortable because they see the big dollar signs just for the time being. No, it's a constant fight uphill every quarter for them. She should have that other side to her, being calculative, cutthroat, neurotic to a certain degree. A side you don't get to see much unless she thinks no one's looking.

I've been wanting to redesign the MeTV Toons and MeTV tans for awhile now but I dont have many good ideas in mind. Best I could do was base a potential revision of MTT-tan off Red or Hello Nurse.

That's like saying pic related already works as a tan for Jetix, there's a difference between mascots and tans, we've been over this.
The whole point of the tans are that they're meant to be personification of the channels, the mascots are just that, mascots.

CN will unquestionably go the way of MTV. Might be worth drawing her, [as]-tan, and MTV-tan having drinks together for that reason.
Can someone give me a refresher on all the disney-tans btw? I feel they have alot of comedic potential as a psuedo crime family. Also, not sure how to handle the viacom-tans. Maybe Nick-tan has a huge crush on Spongebob? Either that or Spongebob has infested her like a zombie virus (and or an STD)

>Can someone give me a refresher on all the disney-tans btw?
Disney Channel is usually portrayed as the figurehead, but The Walt Disney Company is the true mastermind.
We never did get to do much with her tho, since Disney Channel was the more popular tan so she got more of the art and characterization.

>not sure how to handle the viacom-tans
Viacom was straight up portrayed as an evil eldritch being lol, unlike WDC, he doesn't pretend to be good, he's also one of the few males.
https://co.llection.pics/post/list/viacom/1
>Maybe Nick-tan has a huge crush on Spongebob?
An interpretation was that since SpongeBob was her one big success, she's too afraid to let it go/try something else, neglecting everything else.

It's interesting how Tooncast never changes its' graphics as many years went on.
Imagine if Tooncast-tan sees other girls' new looks and thought to herself "I'm glad I never got to change my look, 'cuz I still got great shows".

It’s always been difficult for /co/ to do stuff, because ideas guys get too ambitious too quickly, ballooning ideas beyond the point they are manageable and eventually devolving to nothing more than new OCs to make borderline NSFW art of for a bit. Ideas should start small and grow, not be forced and controlled immediately by committee.
The best thing /co/ could do for content is just to have a weekly Sunday comics thing where everyone works independently or at most in pairs as artist and writer, and just kind of build a little webcomic collection from it.

>when i saw that it was kind of... plain and to the point, i tried to look at the store side
>their sites don't have the same kind of energy/character if you think about CN, Disney and Nick sites
>they help develop and produce for would-be directors so their core seems to be more business-oriented where they deal with production/pipeline while the director needs to make the story
>they seem to be willing to have more 'play' in what they produce based on what they've done so far, to some extent, so i wanted a white shirt with colors splattered on it
>left empty because their show mash-up poster had so many colors to choose from i forgot-
>business formal jacket, slacks and shoes that randomly materialize on her when the glitching skull spirit senses an opportunity to sell merch

Somebody drew an evil Mickey-looking disney tan earlier in the thread who I assumed to be the WDW-tan. I like the idea of her being a liliputian napoleon figure with an iron fist. Plus you can get away with ratatouille gags that way.

I like this take, but I think it definitely needs a bit more going on for it, as it is a smidge on the basic side (not said to be mean). I think the skull could definitely be incorporated into the design more, maybe by having one of the eyes have a pupil with a circle, and the other with an X to reflect the skull logo? As for what you wrote in the green, I dig that kind of general vibe for the personality. I think an aspect of their character being the kind of person who would go hard after indie creators or professional creators shunned by their usual bigger studios would be a good interpretation of the character.
As for how to add more color and design to their look, which I think is strictly necessary to avoid having it look a bit too underdeveloped, take a look at their channel intro video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwhNC72BOhg
Going off of that, you can see the background thing they have at the start (and end) of the video has two colors, one along the left and the other on the right, and a bunch of floating glitchy X's, Y's, and triangles on the background. I think those should be incorporated into her shirt and possibly pants to get her looking like she has just that extra bit of detail to bring it all together.
Besides that, to highlight what I like I appreciate the incorporation of the triangle part of their logo by having her jacket thing with the glitch effect on it, and I think the pointy teeth are a cute choice and kind of work with the skull teeth going on. The hair and overall look is also generally on point. I hope you consider my suggestions if you take another pass at this!

I'm surprised there's no elements of Marzipan in her design considering she is THE girl on the website. Looking forward to more of whatever you make in this thread, though!
>>
>>154107454
HSR.com-tan originally had the exact same ponytail as Marzipan! But I opted out cause I thought the short hair idea was better but maybe she could end up becoming a blonde! Who knows?
She still needs some work.
