In a non-formal setting quirks and personality variances between a hundred members of the same guild should become very apparent. Even if each is isolated in a scene, the difference remains. Remember, we are talking about character design here, not uniform or armor design of an organisation.
Same here, in an action scene. Why shouldn't these designed as fully realised individuals? Wouldn't that deepen interest in the class for prospectives? Isn't the notion that you should give the loosest and blandest template possible running counter to the objective of 'cool' design?

Wunderpurps said:gromit said:So for still lifes sure exaggeration has little place, but for game art in a 3D engine it's almost unavoidable. Probably some of the best models I've seen for females which looked feminine and realistic were fallout, but when it's 2D you have no technical limits on the art assets so the job is many times easier.

Can't tell me Chell isn't designed to get male gamers hot and bothered because she certainly works for me.sgc_meltdown said:chell

with the increase of female gamers in the population the shift of lara croft from mobile breasts of death to strong british female role model in the upcoming reboot is quite unsurprising
short of something really obvious like that lollipop chainsaw thing blatant protagonist boobsploitation is probably a thing of the past for pragmatic marketing reasons
mirror's edge, chell, etc
not that it stops the rule34 and ingame hookers and always-trendy form fitting outfits or armor with defined chest areas at all of course
