For my portfolio, I've tried to hit most of the milestones necessary for the level I'm applying for in realistic character art. Wouldn't really bother too much about what I wouldn't know from reviews that don't lead to interviews. About the female characters I was creating/upgrade, this is what I have so far and it took a…
I think beyond the rather sterile "she's ugly, not my StarWars lol" VS "she's just a regular woman you biggot" discourse there's definitely something to be said about what can happen when deviating from a realistic reference (regardless of it being photo ref or a scan). Human faces are *incredibly* subtle and delicate to…
In what was does that image show they're going for that? Those images are nothing alike. Is wearing a jacket the smoking gun? Movable eyebrows? Hair colour? I'm going to be honest, when you keep posting all this shit like "some people are saying..." You just come off as tacitly agreeing with it. There's no insight to…
The subreddit does have some good points about the Abby characters physique not being logical given the apocalyptic setting. This post in particular, https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLastOfUs2/comments/jtx1t9/comment/jev0z62/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Again I…
I do wonder if the games industry should take a more involved approach with fans during development. At the moment its very NDA limited, we never really get to see what a games development is like behind the scenes or have any real input during production. Like interviews with character teams would be great to follow along…
Honestly I had hoped that SBI would have put out a PR response and this would not have escalated to the dumpster fire its become. I really tried to reach out to them and help but they really want to fight what they feel is a right wing neo nazi conspiracy to the bitter end. Its interesting to watch it play out. We now do…
I wish we could see more statistics about what the audience really wants and how much their purchasing power is really influenced by DEI changes (if they actually are DEI changes) This video provides some perspective, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfDqm75YGxw The actor who provides the mocap for Kay already has a varied…
I'm seeing this situation being complicated by the recent conflict between gamers, game devs, community managers and game journalists around DEI in videogames https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/sweet-baby-inc-detected-controversy The impact so far - Around 360,000 gamers will be boycotting star wars outlaws once its…
That is possible. The new Indiana Jones game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has a Harrison Ford likeness and he is voiced by a different voice actor. Bethesda was able to afford that license, maybe Ubisoft didn't want to or felt that the comparison would be too great. Its great to create a new character, I just feel…
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…
