These Animal Crossing Custom Designs Would Have the Able Sisters in Tears

Animal Crossing New Horizons, designs

They say that the best way to cope with uncertainty is to let your creative juices flow through art, music, writing, or even taking a deep dive into the world of graphic design.

Now that the coronavirus has everyone confined to their homes for the foreseeable future, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has given players the opportunity to let their imaginations run wild and design their clothes, furniture and their gardens based on video games and various other pieces of pop culture.

Here are some of the greatest works of art the island Villagers of Animal Crossing: New Horizons served up on Twitter that’ll make you smile and Vera Wang cry.

Hatsune Miku

The virtual J-Pop Vocaloid diva looks amazing no matter what style she decides to throw on. Although she’s not wearing her signature long ponytails, Eternia_Art made up for it by giving her a black sunhat and glasses to match.

Mega Man, Superman and Sonic

Three superheroes from three super different franchises have been brought under one roof. TBOGaming managed to create photo frames of Mega Man, Superman and Sonic the Hedgehog (& Knuckles, if you paid attention to the logo), and his Animal Crossing avatar is rocking a Superman tank top to match!

Chowder Outfit

Jesse4060 took the moon, took the sun, took everything that seems like fun and whipped up a fashion recipe from the Cartoon Network show, Chowder, creating an outfit based on the titular chef’s apprentice. The pan on the tree stump is a nice touch, too.

Bronzong Dress

The outfit on eSeFGallagher‘s Villager is an optical illusion. The color palette on the dress and hat may have you thinking it’s inspired by Boba Fett, but it’s actually a Pokemon. Who’s that Pokemon? It’s Bronzong!

Sailor Moon Fashion Collection

Every Sailor Moon fan wants to fill their room with all the magical merchandise the Sailor Scouts have to offer, but they can’t afford to do so in-game or in the real world. yoyombb made up for it by designing the uniforms of the entire Sailor Scout Squad so she’ll be fighting evil bugs by moonlight and paying her housing loan debt by daylight whether she’s Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury, or even the one named Sailor Moon.

Steven Universe Future Varsity Jacket

Steven Universe Future is having its season finale Friday, and Crystal Gems fan getaway_lexi is prepping for it by wearing Steven’s pink varsity jacket and black star T-shirt. She’s letting her diamond shine brighter than the sun.

Etika Logo Hoodie

There’s no better way to honor Etika’s memory than by ironing his signature slanted E logo on a black hoodie and hanging it above the Nintendo Switch. Kudos to longestmeat for remaining a dedicated member of the JoyCon Boyz.

Beyoncé’s Homecoming Hoodie

Those who have lamented the postponement of Coachella to autumn, Beyoncé’s Homecoming documentary about her 2018 Coachella performance didn’t come to fruition until last year. ilevitated recreated the “Formation” singer’s iconic college crop hoodie, which changed from yellow to pink from time to time, but he decided to stick to yellow — a fitting color for Queen Bey.

Transformers Optimus Prime Outfit

There’s more to this Villager’s outfit than meets the eye. CWingsyun rendered the baseball cap into Optimus Prime’s head, and the shirt, pants and shoes comprise the leading Autobot’s entire body.

Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande Flower Gardens

The flowers around Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande aren’t exactly memorials (they’re still alive and well, thank you). AUDRIGRANDE simply planted her flowers around their portraits as a show of infatuation for the pop stars.

Joker’s Trenchcoat and Phantom Thieves Sigil (Persona 5)

danstrife97 dolled his Villager with Joker’s black trenchcoat, complete with the Phantom Thief’s troused-up hairstyle, and posted the Phantom Thieves of Hearts sigil on the wall. He may not be wearing the mask, but he still looks fabulous!

Ciel Phantomhive’s Dress (Black Butler)

Ciel wasn’t fond of wearing the Victoria’s Secret color-patterned dress to pose as Madame Red’s niece the one time he infiltrated Viscount Druitt’s party, so he kindly donated it to Animal Crossing: New Horizons. horriblecatpun was happy to wear the dress and strut her stuff Victorian style.
