stance, expression, and almost cylindrical heads cause the designs to have an eerily similar quality
if we do the silhouette test, it would be difficult to tell these characters apart
however, the designs are both distinct in that one is a human and another is a sea animal. furthermore there color schemes are different. something else that stands out to me is that one of the designs is rendered in 3d, and the other is 2d
my emotional response to both is a sense of dread. i feel judged by each of these characters individually. the fact that they are displayed together increases this sensation.
