What about some drink-based characters? A tea character would be super cute!

[@Tori-mh7fg]

@Karis Kontilis ooooo even better! I'm an absolute tea fiend and am 100% onboard with this idea

[@hel2727]

I think she's already done something similar, but drinks as a whole sounds interesting

[@avivagodfrey]

I SECOND THIS SO HARD.

Oh yes a Bubbke Tea character !

[@wrecktangle6679]

The giant, artisan pizza cutter thing is actually called a 'mezzaluna' meaning half moon in Italian. It's a sharp, curved or crescent shaped blade(s) attached to one or two handles that is skillfully rocked back and forth in a swift, smooth motion to make a precise, seamless cut across a broad surface or to quickly dice herbs, vegetables, anything really into a fine mince. I love how you encorporated at the subtle details into these designs. There's a lot going on, but in the best way.

[@C.f001]

As a polish person I did not expect pierogi to be here going into this video

[@nagietek6091]

Pierogi are the superior dish and I am not saying that just because I'm Polish, that's for sure 🥟🥟 very important question tho, Miss Kira, have you ever eaten sweet version of pierogi, with fruit filling? Usually it's strawberry or blackberry but can also be plumbs and others and they're eaten with sweet cream and sugar on top and are the best of the best for both the dinner and the dessert ❤

[@atina5621]

exactly, i especially like pierogi with plumbs, they are also called knedle. Great video!

[@breannakurszewski7693]

Every time my family has ever made pierogi, we boil them and THEN fry them- I don’t know if that’s traditional lol, but I’m from a very polish family and this is how we’ve always done it. Would 10/10 suggest eating them with sour cream for peak potato vibes

[@nagietek6091]

@@breannakurszewski7693 in Poland we always boil pierogi, no matter the filling, and sometimes fry the one with meat/cheese/mushroom and other similar filling, but frying is not really mandatory, it's a bonus and not necessarily that popular all over Poland. At least in the part of Poland where I live we don't do it that often I guess

[@olapiatkowska907]

let me tell you, you made every Polish person's day by including pierogi💖

[@ourabouras]

Loving the rampant maximalism on display 😁 I know you think the designs came out a bit campy, but I love them, they would fit in well on a D&D quest or in an animated feature film. In particular I was thinking about the cheese dresses in Laika’s Boxtrolls and artist Alexandre Diboine’s food themed characters. Great job!

[@WSchmidt09]

These were adorable, but Pizzadin was my favorite. Just something about a lady with armor. Shoutout to not only sharing all of this excellent art and costuming with us, but to you diving into the fantasy tabletop vibes with this one. Had a near audible cheer moment when the Pathfinder ninja and witch appeared.

[@hungrylikealoup]

My favorite thing about these designs is how dynamic you made the poses this time! Maybe that's why the Ice Cream Witch looks off to you?? When you look at them altogether, she definitely stands out as having a generic standing pose, when all the other characters are in motion. That being said, she's probably the one I would want to see turned into a costume the most out of all of them, because of how maximalist the design is! THE HAT makes me feel a type of way. Also, the sprinkles on her transparent sleeves 😍Also, ALSO, I'm sure it was unintentional but her color scheme is very Trans Pride Flag, and today (3/31) is Trans Day of Visibility, so personally, I think she should be a transfemme ice cream cone witch. I think the Pierogi Cleric is my favorite of all of them. She's just... SO CUTE 💖

[@Saiayni]

This made me realize how amazing your artstyle would be for some Crown of Candy characters since it's every character is food

[@GhostlyPigeon_]

Ok but all the Dungeons & Dragons terms make me so happy as a DM! I love the pierogi cleric looks so good!

[@chancehanlin2747]

Name Suggestions: For Pizza: Her real name could be something like "Marina" as a reference to Marinara, but her title could be something like "Lady Supreme", as a reference to the pizza you used to reference her, also personally the title name sounds like she means buisness. For Ramen: Maybe something like Tsubaki or Tsubasa, because the "Tsuba" part kinda sounds like "Soba", as in "Soba Noodles", which are alot like Ramen. For Ice Cream: Either Parfait (Which, fun fact, means "Perfect" in French), or Nia (As in Neapolitan). For Pierogi: Theodora or maybe even Teddy, which is a reference to the founder of Mrs. T's Pierogies: Ted Twardzik.

[@sleepy.timaeus.arts.]

nice ideas!

[@erinstevens4886]

Since there's also an abundance of pretty pictures of flowery to witchy to gothic teacups, maybe an fun character design prompt could be those sorts of images, maybe with a lolita style like a bunch of eccentric Victorians getting ready for a tea party. Also a lot of the flowers used in some teas have medicinal properties which could make interesting elements of a character. Basically i just want my favourite rooibos tea personified

[@CabbyHat]

Pierogis are also a big thing in Saskatchewan, where I was born, so they've always been a comfort food for me. Really cute designs!

[@nagietek6091]

I feel like the pizza girl and the pierogi girl would be the more calm members to the team, while the other to would be louder, more energetic and chaotic perhaps. Also miss pizza gives off big sister vibes and pierożek is totally a youngest child... I think the two would usually stick together, with miss pizza being very protective of the little one. As for the names, the pierogi girl looks like Mirka (a short form of Mirosława - old Slavic name meaning the one who praise/glorifies the peace, which suits a healer I believe) and the pizza girl looks like Bella, the beautiful one ❤

[@sparrow3516]

Aaahhh!!! These are delightful! I adore the pierogi girl especially! I had the idea recently of character designs based off of classic Slashers/Horror villains. Like Ghostface, Jason Vorhees, Killer Clowns, etc. and I think it’d be a fun challenge to come up with some slashers of your own!

[@Kurooganeko]

I LOOOOVEEE how the pizza toppings motif makes her skirt looks lie a medieval tapestry!!! ♥♥♥

[@R1hanna]

The balance of 2 camp characters and 2 subtle characters is ✨immaculate✨

[@mewmew6158]

Pierogies ARE SO GOOD! Then again, many cultures' dough with stuff in it has been a delicious, staple of eating in my life.

[@masonecho2-146]

POLSKA GÓRĄ Sorry, it's so nice to see people enjoying pierogi in other countries.

[@iwantawaffle6282]

Pierogi supremacy !! A pierog can also mean pie in sime slavic languages, and pirozhki are like long-ish yeast dough buns with various fillings (sweet or savory) and those are just🤌🤌🤌 A classic grandma dish

[@theartoflolita935]

0:58 I was born in Pittsburgh, and I still live there so I get it.

[@Squishy_Seal]

I think mt favourite gotta be Pizza and Pierigi ! They look beautiful while including recognizable elements of the food they are based off. Ramen is THE food, now I crave Ramen so baad. I also love Icecreams colours.

[@Z0mb13-34ts-BrAInzZz]

I can unfortunately not eat perogies because for some, unknown, reason they make me extremely sick, but the character design is adorable and I love it! I love all of them, actually. It's hard NOT to like any of your character designs :D

[@noodlecat6549]

I think the ice cream witch should have buns in her hair to indicate scoops of ice cream. Her colors are so pretty ✨ and the outfit is adorable!

[@Duvbott]

‘It’s a Pittsburgh thing’ straight up killed me. What IS that mascot?!?! Iconic. Also pierogi girl is my favorite ❤️

[@lyssabug2887]

Can I just say that my jaw just dropped to the next prehistoric finding whenever you mentioned yet another amazingly posh and clever design choice?

[@steamgoth-lassassin4099]

I first had pierogis in Polands and they were filled with sweet cheese it was so delicious. I have never quite been able to find American pierogies that were quite as good.

[@avaw.7350]

yeah to find pierogi like that in America you have to make them by hand and it helps if the recipe you use has been passed down through generations

As someone from Pittsburgh who didn't 100% like pierogi, you talked so lovingly about them that I thought I should try them again soon

[@scarabee04]

OMG PIEROGI my favorite food ever! My grandma makes them with onions or a cream sauce.

[@etheraea]

this is so iconic omg. I think i'm in love with the ramen girl but then again i also just love ramen. like an EGG HAT??? CMONNNNNN IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT. IT REALLY DOESN'T.

[@poisonedsodapop]

They are all so fantastic, as usual. But as a fellow pizza lover, the pizza girl really has my heart. I want to see this party's adventures.

[@dovelyn1519]

These are so awsome! I've always loved maximalism character designs and ur videos always inspire me to create some of my own. Pizza one is def my fav, but the ramen one has so much character, thanks Kira! :)

[@comicsfreak]

I love how kira was grump about became hungry because of this video, so fill the video with lots of shots of food so the audience will share the hungry feeling.😂

[@AngelavengerL]

Pierogi and Pizza are so freaking cute! I used to play this asian gotcha game called Food Fantasy, that the entire premise was personified food characters that you made battle teams out of to fight other food characters. I'd definitely choose your Pierogi and Pizza for my tank healer team any day!

[@lndcruz721]

this is giving strong crown of candy character vibes love it!

[@Sadly_Stick]

I love when people break international laws with their medic designs! (The red cross is a protected symbol under international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions which i think is only kinda dumb ^^)

[@philurbaniak1811]

👍👍these came out awesome and I had to pause for a cheese break 👍😆

[@April0503]

No but I have an idea for the ramen girl! If somebody hits her egg hip things then smoke relieves so the enemy can’t see her!

[@EternalElvira]

I love pierogi. My boyfriend is polish and love when I get to help his mother make them. Potato and cheese are definitely the best, but the sweet apple or strawberry ones are really nice too.

[@stellarartanddesign]

They are all so cool. I think the ice cream girl is my favorite! 💗🩵🍦

I love the characters one quick thing through pierogi is already plural, the singular form is pieróg. Also, I have a recommendation for pierogi filling farmer's cheese. It's great a little sweet but too sweet and it's just amazing

[@jackalopexjackalope9870]

I would play a game with all of these characters! 🤩💕

[@zenebean]

Pierogi Cleric is super sweet until you insult her cooking, then she brains you with the wooden spork I love the supreme pizza-din, you definitely did a good job blending the inspiration in w/o the camp (tho I do like some camp). The pan handle on the shield could even be used to block and parry sword strikes, which is a cool touch

[@fancynamewatch9705]

[@MintyMido]

[@alright_tea-side-9128]

The Pizza Knight (super gorgeous btw!) reminds me of when I designed a pizza inspired Star Wars padawan character a few years ago. Instead of lightsabers they fought with light-pizza cutters.

[@trashotaku]

You mentioning the Pierogi healer using cooking To heal reminds me of the anime The saint's this power is omniscient where there's a Scene where the main character actually infuses healing herbs into her cooking and it actually heals people

Pierogi - by us spelled like pie+ sharp r +ogi (same sound as yogi ,as in the bear). The potatoes plus white curd cheese (and mint,pepper and sometimes bacon bits) filling is called Ukrainian pierogi ( was called "ruskie pierogi" as in Russian pierogi but obviously it was country wide changed,even my 97 years old grandmother whose pierogi were her claim to fame, and truly the best I ever ate even as pierogi conneiseur vehemently states that tis was always the case 😅). Pierogi with chicken, mushrooms, onions and mozarella are a delicious variation on the classic. Mixed cheese pierogi baked in tomato sauce are also delicious. In summer we eat pierogi with fresh berries & strawberries and year round a sweet version with sweetened white curd cheese. Pierogi love ❤️

[@MelodiedeVivre]

This made me so hungry. I love it

[@IntrepidInkweaver]

The best pierogie I've ever had was from a little street vendor in Pittsburgh during an arts festival and I have craved it ever since~ People also apparently put fruit in pierogies sometimes? Never had that, though.

[@willgalarneau5655]

Someone probably already said this but highly recommend Dimension 20s Crown of Candy for food inspired fantasy design inspiration. The entire campaign is basically game of thrones x candyland

[@tiktokcompilation1568]

The pizza girl could be named Margherita: it's an italian name, the name of a flower (daisys) and the *name of the first pizza* The inventor called it Margherita after the queen of italy Margherita, that is said to be the one that the dish was made for Little italian flex lol Edit: margherita flavor is the basic italian one: mozzarella, tomato and basilico leaves
