Melomad said:Speaking of diversity and portfolio, I saw up this thread that you could produce a character turnaround and have look fairly "hand-made". However the exemples I saw were always in the riot/disney/blizzard soup. Have we seen AI produce actual interesting character designs? (Sorry if this has been discussed earlier, I only skimmed the topic)

and in doing so, given stylistic choices many are seeing her as a more masculine, with some going much further to lable her as trans/lesbian.
Though besides her sexual proclivities, I just feel that the hair style she sports is throwing the face off since the actor has sported just one hair style which really draws attention to her forehead and makes the face look rounder.I felt that this cosplayers facial profile, eye color, hair color, hair size and complexion does attribute more personality, freckles also work better on lighter skin.
Don't you think it's bigoted as fuck that you assume this character must be made for DEI just because she's a woman and/or non-white? You're basically saying that the only time a woman or PoC can be the main character is if a white guy took pity on them. I mean, you haven't stated any reason why it should be believed this is a DEI move except that she's not white, not a man, and that her face deviates marginally from beauty norms...NikhilR said:I think that if they wanted to do a han solo style character, they should have gone with han solo and set the game between New Hope and Empire strikes back.
They would be competing with the indiana jones game but only for character art fidelity so going with Kay Vess instead does seem to have a DEI component relating to current trends, but why they modified the scan is still a mystery.
