Now I wish I could afford it ❤
Considering
It’s coming up as $99 for me without the 20% discount anywhere. Is that because I’m in Australia?
@@anthonyjeitani730yeah same here. I think the video must have come out later than planned.
by the way you didn't draw a string on the end of Gaston's bow
The trouble with trying to draw Gaston as a heroic figure was he WAS drawn as a heroic figure in the movie. It was his actions that defined him.
Yeah same with the beast, he WAS drawn to look like a villain, despite not being one. Good video but a couple bad choices imo
@@BT37GU It is said they are the flip side of the same coin. The problem is that everyone seems to forget that middle ground.
I mean, to be fair, Gaston is more of a jerk than a actual villain.
@@octaviusmorlock He is very much a jerk and living in a world very far back in time. But he does have villain traits. Look at how he treats those around him, its only to HIS gain and when that doesn't work out he takes things up a notch. He wanted Belle to marry him, setting it all up BEFORE asking her, stating what their life would be etc when she rejected him he turned to USE her father. Then there is what he did to the beast. Now that can be seen as mixed THEY all were afraid of the beast and wanted to get away but Gaston planned on KILLING and not just to have beast's head on his wall and score points with the village but because Belle CHOICE someone other then him and Gaston couldnt stand that.
@@inspelled I'm not saying he isn't a villain. He did after all, get Belle's father sent to an insane asylum. (Or try to.) But, while seen as somewhat grotesque nowadays, there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to hunt and make a trophy of a beast. As far as was generally known, the beast was just that, a beast, an animal. Not human.
And finally- at that time- I don't think Gaston _technically_ needed Belle's permission to marry him; just as long as her father approved.
All in all, I just think there are _far_ more villainous villains in Disney. (Come to think of it, I think _most_ of them are worse than GASTOOOOON!!! ♪♫.)
The things about the beauty and the beast, is that the entire point was that what everyone else saw as a villain, was gentle, kind, and in the end, lovable.
The person who acted like the traditional hero, and in many ways was the first Disney twist villain, was Gaston. He was drawn as a traditional hero. A prince type, up against a villanius monster. Only to show us that our actions, not our looks is what defines us.
I also love how the voice actor for beast looks like a skinnier Gaston
Gosh, the Harry Potter flip is genius. When you think about it, not allowing anyone to say or remember a person’s name or deeds correctly and being remembered as a villain is a super evil curse to cast on someone. I always thought not even saying a villain’s name is kinda dumb because you’re kinda hobbling your societies ability to recognize the evil person and find ways to defeat them, but if it was actually a curse meant to hide the truth and make the name owner suffer it would make so much more sense!
When Voldemort was back to full power, pronouncing his name cancelled protective charms and immediately alerted Death Eaters of one's location. If that or something similar existed before, it would have made sense for only brave and powerful wizards to pronounce the name. People who aren't Dumbledore don't want crazy murderers called to their house.
@@TerezatheTeacher You're right, but I think in that case someone would have warned the trio about the taboo - I don't think it would ever NOT come in a conversation when it's such an important detail. And Ron's explanation would include that this happened before, it just would have had to be mentioned at some point! But maybe something similar happened....
@@TerezatheTeacher I just realized this comment is many months old...sorry if I bothered you.
Standing beside harry Voldemort still looks evil, like he's corrupted Harry or is Harry's butler or something, but if the two of them were in a wizard duel Voldemort could definitely come across as the hero. Fantastic redesign of harry potter.
Agree completely. Without context it kinda looks like an apprentice with his adoring master behind him.
I feel it would have helped to keep him much more in his Tom Riddle form, just older and weary.
Voldemorts story would have been so sad if this was the the truth
To me this looks like an alternate reality where Harry said "Yes." When Voldemort asks him to join with him in Philosopher's Stone. Imagine how That story would play out... 😲
I always imagined "What if Harry went to Slytherin?"
Anc jazza gave me the answer
Pretty bad ass looking
I like that you decided to switch Gaston's outfit from red to blue; I'm sure you know the designers have often said that they deliberately made Belle the only one in town to wear blue to make her stand out as different, and so that when the Beast turns up to the ballroom in blue it shows their growing connection.
It's also meant to display Beast's character arc. In the movie or just media in general, blue is meant to symbolize good while red symbolizes evil. At the start of the movie, we see that both Gaston and the Beast wear red. Later on, we see him in purple (a mix of red and blue), showing his development. And then, finally, blue, demonstrating that he has become a good person. Meanwhile, Gaston stays in red the entire time. Also, both the Beast's and Gaston's eyes are blue, showing that no one is pure evil and that there's a little good in everyone. It also helps highlight their similarities at the beginning of the movie.
The way Jazza is able to change a couple of things in a characters, character design to make them look more evil, is so amazing. Honestly everything he and his team makes is amazing, so I dont understand why im surprised
468 likes no replies?????????
you should make a video coloring with those cheap waxy restaurant crayons
All crayons are waxy
@@frankdrws the reallyyyyyyy waxy ones
Marine's MRE😊
I think jazza did a video w/ restaurant crayons years ago
You do realize that's all fuckin crayons, right?
Please make it a series! I want to see Frodo and Gollum! 😂
YASSS And Bilbo and Smaug 😂
Yesss 🥹
Would be interesting: Frodo as corrupted ringbearer, who is running away from his duty with the ring, and Gollum as rehabilitated tragic hero, who wants to take the ring and destroy it, so that middle earth, Frodo and himself all can be free of this evil.
Me too!
yes
I love how jazza actually made the character arcs make sense for both swaps instead of just changing the expression/outfit, and said they were the villain or hero instead. Extremely well done!
amazing as always, jazza! however for the harry potter one, voldemort looks like he is a fun grandpa who is guiding the evil harry. i think he shouldn't placed at the side of him. but separately, the designs were awesome!
Yep, that is what I thought too.
Harry was on point, but voldemort lacks the protagonist factor. even If that voldemort is placed side by side with his companion, he might still not potray the main protagonist vibe. if going to be put in that scene, i think we could show more ((struggle)) in his face that has failed to stop harry to gain All the artifact, with a ((determination)) to stop him.
@@baitlord2932 make them face each other, like face to face on each side, portraying lightworks to show that they are from different sides, putting a more determined face to voldermot and a more serious face to villain harry to show that he is not thinking serious of voldermort after it's defeat, this being consequence of all the power coming from the relics that harry know posseses, the villain now with all the power it wanted while the hero with a determination to change the fate until it's last stand and breath
Voldemort needs to be less silly, with more gravitas.
@@lucymiau5700like more determined and also a little merciless due to his past failures hunting him mixed with a little of angryness by villain harry not taking him serious and being with a serious face? also with voldemort with a face telling he is determined to fight until his last breath aggainst all the things harry inteds to do?
yes I agree they should be separate or it looks like voldemort is a creepy mentor
Crazy how by changing the facial expression instantly turned Gaston into a protagonist character, while the same mindset made Belle a villain. Expression is important in art
The spin on the harry potter world was a fun one, I've actually read a lot of different versions of twists in Voldemort's character, one of my favorites was always "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality", but there's a lot of different fan fics out there about the universe that are really fun to read.
Another great one is Harry Potter and the accidental Horcrux where the piece of toms soul in Harry is actually sentient and can communicate with him and ends up basically raising him
That would have been a great twist for an adult version of Harry Potter
Best fanfic I've ever read, it makes my day anytime I see someone else has read it.
My favorites are "Harry Potter and the Welcome to the World of Grey" and "Sarcasm and Slytherin" there is a lot of other great ones but these are my top 2
My favorite is Harry's future by swissdog it begins right after the battle of hogwarts and has become my personal favorite future for harry and the gang (can't stand cursed child)
The flipped Beauty and the Beast story is AWESOME! I can see Beast as an anti-villain who is duped by Belle and realizes too late how much of an actual monster he's become.
I think Voldemort was translated pretty well into a cute grandpa on his last heroic walk on the path of good.
I think the lighting kind of backtracked it a bit. It emphasised Harry's corruption pretty well, just maybe another light source should have been added, like a soft lumos spell from Voldy. Maybe Nagini holding the wand with its mouth like a dog playing fetch 😅
That would be so cute!
The Harry Potter conversion was mind-blowing. Nothing could be more creative!
You did a good job with these! One of the things I've noticed in animation - Disney in particular - what makes the biggest difference between villains and heroes is the eyebrows. Heroes can smirk and can have that 'I'm better than you' look, but it's the arch of the eyebrows that show if they are really a good person or not. With Gaston, he is everything a hero should be. Cocky, brave, good looking, charismatic, etc, but because his eyebrows are not only so large and dark, they are highly arched. Similar to Vanessa, she is practically a copy of Bell. Large eyes, softer features, elegant, but it's those eyebrows. If they were softened, I bet no one would be able to tell that she is actually a sea-witch in disguise.
I love that this whole video is basically just Jazza gaslighting us hahahaha. But it is so interesting to really consciously observe what style and colour choices can do to really change your inherent perception of someone!
Seeing Harry and Voldemort together like that made me feel like Voldemort is kind of the nice and genial servant figure next to the dominant dark character. Kind of like Alfred next to Batman but their evil versions.
The whole beauty and the Beast is the original "hero isn't a hero and evil monster guy isn't evil or the villain".
Wow that reimagining of beauty and the beast is incredible, you’ve managed to create an entirely different feel of every character! Harry looks amazing but I’m sorry I can’t take Voldemort seriously, all I see is Herbert from Family Guy haha 😂😂
I can't unsee that now 😂
Oh,no I haven't watched the video yet,and now I'm scared.😅😂 I'll see it.😢
I saw it,and the story telling made me cry.🥹Yeah he does look like Herbert!😆🤣
Oh no 💀💀💀
Why do i like your Harry Potter story so much more than the orginal?
Your re-works of existing characters are really among the most entertaining videos on CZcams for me. And the results are amazing. Thank you for this moments of joy.
So basically he just drew beauty and the beast through Gastons eyes
"No one rewrites history like Gaston!"
@@gracehowell. hahaha tru
There are a few aspects between heroes and villains that make them different, but I would say that the main two from a visual and character standpoint are colors and morals.
Color pallete is super important for determining a hero or a villain. Brighter colors are typically associated with heroes, blues, yellows, pinks, but that's not always the case. The best example of this is green, which is typically associated with villains, think the bright green of Maleficent's flames, though again, it can also be for heroes like Hulk. Red is a neutral color, think heroes like Iron Man and Spider-Man or Villains like Jafar and Gaston. Purple and black though? Yep, those are villain colors. The main key thing to take away I guess is the idea of light vs dark. Giving the hero a brighter color to contrast the darkness of the villain is the easiest way to quickly visualize things, and adding contrasting colors similarly helps. Of course, if you know what you're doing, you can break these conventions and do something completely different.
As for morals, those really are key for determining good and evil. Think about Harry and Voldemort. Both are extremely powerful wizards, both have access to a spell that can kill people, and yet their morals separate them. Harry doesn't want to use the killing curse, but Voldy is slinging it around left and right. Making sure your hero and villain have clearly contrasting morals like that can help separate them, while also drawing parallels. Think of it like "if my hero went down a darker path, this is who he'd end up as." Again like the colors, it's not a hard and fast rule, but it's probably the simplest effective way to get that point across.
If anyone else wants to add onto this, feel free! I love seeing the different interpretations people have on these things, and how other people depict this sort of contrast in more unconventional ways.
I think the different colour for villains and heroes started when coloured comics were being produced. Usually it's Primary colors (Red, Yellow and Blue) for heros and Secondary colors (Orange, Green and Purple) for villains.
Heroes and villains are not born but made(Not their looks but their concepts). Sometimes, the artistic output might be contrasting compared to the character's actual story, the most important thing in determining a villain or hero is the plot. Even Jazza incorporated this simple but powerful concept to manifest his imaginations to we, the audience.
Evil Harry was straight up giving me X-men vibes 😅 He looked like he would fit in straight with Magneato, or be Gambits long lost brother or something 👌
Evil Harry looks like Gendo Ikari, and I love that! Also, we need part 2 of this video ASAP. Such a cool concept!
Voldemort and his snake Nigiri is the cutest thing I ever heard 🍣🐍
I hate to be that guy and maybe you made a typo but it’s actually Nagini
I love the Harry and voldimort drawing, but I can't see Gaston as anything but a villain, even though I'd probably enjoy seeing the story told from your interpretation. Maybe I'd like it more if I saw good Gaston in action 😅
I LOVE that Jazza took the stories and flipped them on their heads. Not just a new design, but a new story to go with it! Great job, Jazz! Super creative and so so fun to watch and listen to! (That Voldemort voice nearly did me in! 😂)
Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites, and I loved the villain/hero flip flop. This was awesome.
As a woman, Gaston really IS a villain because he doesn't take 'no' for an answer from Belle. He's shallow enough to want the most beautiful woman to be his wife, without making sure they have the same values and desires. He threatens to have her father committed if she won't marry him, and he doesn't listen to her when she tells him the truth about the beast. He just goes with 'the beast is ugly so he's a bad guy', and sticks to that mentality.
100% guy's a narcissistic scumbag that objectifies women.
Although Bell is pretty he doesn't care all about looks because he had 3 gorgeous women after him as for the no part I think him and the prince have that problem The only thing is one gets violent and the other sulks and sings he was right about the prince and the father IS crazy and needs help and even though he's crazy he still tired to respectful the Beast lock her dad up tried to kill him locked her up and kill the person trying to save her after the Father asked just so he could get the girl he liked
Don't think you have to be a woman to know that Gaston sucks.
Im a woman and feel like he is just always being told he's the best so he feels that way so he doesn't understand why she doesn't want the best he's dumb we know that
I think jazza only said that to come up with the story for good Gaston
Great video! I loved how the new versions fit into the paintings. I would actually read a Harry Potter version with that twist 😁.
BTW, the counter-spell to Lumos is Nox. It's used in the third book when Harry and Hermione reach the room with Ron and Sirius in the Shrieking Shack.
Jazza's "Am I the baddy?" moment was a beautiful meme.
Loved not only the idea, but also the execution - bringing in Alysha to finish off the artworks was such a good idea! I love what the mix of your styles did to the pieces!
The true hero is always the one who writes the story. Just look at history.😂
I love this concept. Looking at Arcane, it was hard to see any bad character as actually entirely bad, nor any hero as intrinsically good. It really brings home that everyone is writing their own story and trying to be the best they can based on what baggage they carry.
I do love watching you do your challenges, the explanations to character designs, anyway, I hope you and your family are keeping well ❤
This video is a good example of how Alisha's work is so good that one is confident enough to pre-record clips giving it compliments because one knows it's going to be top notch.
Love the twist on HP! It's one of the most imaginative ones I've seen!
Just imagine coming back to art school with Jazza's pro sketch pack. Coolest art student in the school I reckon😎
It would get stolen.
@@Notsuzpicioustruly ~
Honestly that Harry Potter alternative story would be so cool as "what if" type 😮 sounds awesome
02:34 "...as opposed to THAT" I rewatched this moment several times, it's so funny and on point!
I love that you give other artists space to be creative, you're the best Jazza :)
I REALLY like the narration, it adds so much to the drawing itself! Thank you very much
Perfect timing! My class and I are currently on a field trip to an Art Gallery to decorate our classroom a little bit more with self created art and I can perfectly take inspiration from this ❤
I'm just watching through your character design type videos (again) while using you Easy Anatomy download to finally learn to draw people. I'm so impressed with how simple it is and how quickly I've made progress after just a couple of exercises! Once I am confident with human anatomy, I'm going to move on to your Character Design Master Class - which I have already purchased.
I have never found much use in drawing books and resources, as I get too bogged down in "finishing" each one. I love the freedom of just drawing poses, and took a lot from your Pro Sketching series to apply here as well. We aren't going for finished images, we're just sketching and getting shape, anatomy and pose!
Thank you for all you do Jazza, you're truly an inspiration to so many.
I think Gaston still looks like a villain to me. It’s the villainous chin!
I love how the stories have been recontextualised, especially the Harry Potter one!
And the yellow
A sad backstory makes a villain
The retelling of Harry and Voldemort takes me back the UCD videos, would love to see at least one more of those again. Love your work.
Just bought the pack for my kids and I. Thank you for making this creativity so affordable Jazza!!!
Love Jazza's work, but I honestly have to give it up for Alisha, I literally fall in love with the artworks after she's worked on them. Her use of light and colour is masterful
Just by the thumbnail this is gonna be incredible
Yes, this is so fun to explore=3 Amazing job both you and Alysha=)
This was such a cool concept. I’d love to see a part 2. And Alicia did a great job adding the extra details and backgrounds and such
I love it when you show off your best talents like this. What riveting storytelling with exceptional artwork to go with it. (And excellent content, of course)
watching this at 1 am bc how could i skip a jazza video
Daniel Radcliffe is a villain alright. He hates kittens.
Oooh, I hope we can see some more Hero Villan Swaps in the future. 💜
Belle's design goes GREAT with Belle's villain song.
Start
1:00- 2:25 Gaston
2:48- 6:40 The beast/Bella
7:07- 7:52 Extra background
8:17- 10:30 Harry Potter
10:30- 11:57 He-must-not-be-named?
12:06-2:50. Background
End
I have only been watching Jazza for a short time, and I already love his energy and his work ❤️ Those designs were absolutely incredible especially lord voldemort
This is actually such a subtle work, might be one of the hardest part of figurative art. Emotion subtlety.
I really wish people would leave Harry Potter in the past, I get it’s nostalgic but the author is literally participating in taking away trans people’s rights
She is?
Appreciate you educating the next generation about the importance of these crafts for telling our stories, connecting and expressing ourselves. Awesome concept.
I'm returning to this channel after a few months break and man... It is so cool how your art and artistic process is entirely holistic. There's a story in everything and your joy and enthusiasm for creation is so palpable.
Jazza, respectfully good sir, I'm going to need a part 2 😁 I loved this vid. Honestly, I love all your work, I've been watching for many, many years now, but your character creations have a special place in my heart ❤
i love this prop and the resulting artworks! such an interisting interpretation on all the characters!
I think you did it. I support this message.
Every hero is a villian to someone. Every villian can still be someone's hero.
i just loooove the way you invent stories, you make them sound believable it's awesome
Jazza and Alicia collabs are always AMAZING! I loved these results.
Wouw, that turnaround on harry potter was amazing!
And the artwork as well❤
Tips for you Jazza: Popit toy as paintholder, when the paint dries you just simply pop the color blob out😊
Very well done Jazza and Alicia!
Honestly the HP one just changed their vibes, like Harry is a badass John Wick type hero now, and Voldemort is a comedic Disney cartoon villain.
WOW! I've enjoyed this even more than painting characters as described. Can't wait for more heroes-villains paintings
Really enjoyed this one, I’d love to see you do a part 2 to this!
This was GREAT! VERY inspiring! Awesome work by both you and Alicia!
Such great storytelling! Thanks Jazza! I was enthralled!
I really would love to see and read those villian swaped stories! It sounds super awesome.
I love the HP one! Both were great, but the story you told while drawing it was even better! What a difference color, shading and lighting make! Both were great individually, but combined they turned out even better! Thanks for sharing!
I loved this. You’re such an amazing story teller, you really should dive more into that!!
Sooo much fun! ❤
I absolutely love your videos like this. I've been a fan for almost 7 years and although I appreciate all your videos and ideas. The simple drawing videos make me feel so at ease and give a homey feelings. We love you Jazz, you're the greatest!
As much as I love seeing Jazza try new things I also really like seeing his skilful work like this.
Would love to see you do that with video game characters
Yes
please do more like these!! I love the added story element combined with the teaching style 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I really enjoyed this one! So interesting and creative. Thanks!
Actually a really cool concept for a art challenge that I never thought of! Great work!❤
I LOVE your take on these stories!!
Amazing storytelling and even better talent at drawing and painting. You are a star❤
Mission accomplished both Jazza & Alysha! Definitely captured the hero and villains for both. Brava
I've seen the Disney princesses and villains mashup video but this one made me subscribe as soon as he started drawing The Beast. Amazing!
This was such an amazing idea. Cant wait for part 2!!
That take on Beauty & the Beast is basically how Nivellen and Vereena from Witcher were brought to life.
I enjoyed this immensely. Reminded me of the good old Character design sessions with storytelling that I really enjoyed. Similar to “cutest character ever” or “scariest character ever”. I had expected him to only change the designs, but flipping the narratives really sold it for me.
We need more of this, MAKE THIS A SERIES!
I absolutely loved the storytelling in this, bravo.
The happy snake around Voldi-Sensei's Arm is eeeeeeverything lol ❤🐍
I think this is the most fun one yet! Please do more of these ones!
Jazza im really impressed with how much youve improved at drawing as of late loving it all
Wow, the way that the Beauty and the Beast flip turned out was AWSOME!!! Seeing that makes me wish someone would make a movie out of it.
Also, the Harry Potter one was really good, but you forgot the resurection stone ring.
The flip on HP was a genius plot! Would love to read a fanfic about it tbh Great work as always and 8:08 is not cocky its honest lol
