Frieren Looking Up

Frieren Looking Up, also called Upward Angle Frieren or Friangle, is a fan-art meme based on an awkward attempt to draw the character Frieren from below. The unusual perspective makes her chin and jaw look flat, pointed, and strangely large.

On November 13, 2025, Redditor SpaceDev1 posted the drawing to r/Frieren and described it as face-angle practice that looked ‘kinda weird.’ The artist's candid framing helped make the image feel like both a joke and a recognizable drawing problem.

The original was not an anime still. Its first seen date is the artist's Reddit post, and that distinction explains why later redraws often credit SpaceDev1 rather than the show itself.

Within a day, reposts to r/animation and other communities brought the image to much larger audiences. Commenters and artists began making skull jokes, captions, character swaps, and redraws that either amplified the jaw or attempted the same difficult angle seriously.

The trend moved from ridicule toward a collaborative drawing challenge. Artists used their own original characters, while others posted polished versions to show how hard the perspective is; the meme's warmth came from treating an imperfect first try as an invitation to practice.

SpaceDev1 later thanked people for the support and noted that the drawing had become a meme. The pose continued to circulate through fan art, profile images, community references, and later animation comparisons.
