Re: How sexy is TOO sexy
Context is the word here, there is no right or wrong answer, but there is what you can call 'a limit'. Lets put it this way, Tropical desert, post Apocalypse weather? Kinda like Rage? Both male and female characters where shorts-shorts, tank tops and a hat to deal with the weather. Cold weather in which you will have… -
Re: How sexy is TOO sexy
There are too many factors to determine if something is too sexy or not without any real art direction. We need more info about what you want to do. What kind of game is it for? Is it stylistic or realistic art direction? Is it an arcade game or a simulator? Does the character have an important role in the story or just an… -
Re: How sexy is TOO sexy
awesome example. it all ties very nicely together and's contextually something a women might actually like to wear. its pretty and sexy without being cheap. Armor wise I would say its down to context if the dudes are in canonically correct armor then the women should be too. If your wavering in the fantasy direction a bit… -
Re: How sexy is TOO sexy
Conan isn't a good example, if you want to see men portrayed just like women are in popular media, take a stroll down DeviantArt. You can post a women with a cyber postage stamp covering her vagina and Polycounters will report the people who complain about it. Post a man with a cyber banana hammock and there will be a… -
Re: How sexy is TOO sexy
No one ever seems to complain about this one. NO ARMOR AT ALL, she's not even a FIGHTER, more like a BROADWAY VAUDEVILLE BURLESQUE yet she has a role in a violent video game regardless. she doesn't even get anal bum cover. There's a better tasteful and sexy example from the same game series........ i think. mrskuillface… -
Re: How sexy is TOO sexy
Exactly. This is precisely why that whole trope witch hunt is so annoying. If you try hard enough you will find a trope EVERYWHERE. Not saying that there aren't cases of obvious ones. But what's offensive is highly subjective. I've seen quite a few times someone bring up some female game character as a great example… -
Re: How sexy is TOO sexy
haha, yeah. I'm not sure if making the crotch bigger would be a good idea as I'm not sure if that's what women/gay men look at when checking them out. All I've heard is that it's mostly about the male forms of different muscles and more. What about the guy from final fantasy xii or the hero from Vagrant story? I'm not sure… -
Re: How sexy is TOO sexy
The near-constant portrayal of idealized female bodies as the only ones worth something is profoundly psychologically damaging to everyone. Additionally, physical strength is a) not the most important characteristic of a character, b) does not require skimpy/revealing armor, c) has no bearing on most games*, and d) does… -
Re: How sexy is TOO sexy
I don't know if you guys have gone through my sketchbook, but a lot (not all) of my female designs are mostly clothed and tasteful. for example http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24796637/mission%20art/missionart_092.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24796637/mission%20art/missionart_094.jpg… -
Re: How sexy is TOO sexy
The article made quite some weird point about conan though, "he's not meant to be armored" ? And then in the destroyer: (and this speaking outside of the books and comics) And yes, I guess his appearance is mainly to appease the men who want to be conan, but still, they didn't have to skin him down in such a silly way when…
