Good to see the artist redid a new pic, and also redid the original pic with less black shit on her face.

At least this artist takes feedback well and adjusts pics on his own time. If only more artists can realize the general public (customers) can have feedback that leads to a better product. Just because you, me, or person X makes something doesn't mean it's the best ever and everyone else's idea stinks.

By the way, what were the posts he responded to when he says I noticed it too?

I dont have Twitter, so I cant see the messages. But it must had been some posts saying they dont like her face all scratched up with black marks.

There’s some weird shit going on in that drawing, particularly around her ass, it’s like she had 2 of them, kinda conjoined. Almost like they used a not very good ai, and slapped a filter over it in photoshop. It’s just a bad drawing…hell you’d actually get significantly better results using either a recent midjourney model or mystic/magnific.

What I really want to see and I’d love to see people campaigning for it, is a piece of art from Shift Up featuring Jordan, the bald protagonist of Intergalactic. Like, seriously! How do you think the minds behind Eve would handle that?

ND got roasted so bad :messenger_tears_of_joy: they had to make another drawing that resembles a proper female Eve, even though I think her breasts are still on the small side :messenger_pouting:

So ND are aware with their reputation of terrible female designs

Hmmmm...

Gonna keep it perfectly honest with you chaps.

If we think of a trooned out freak with a 5:00 shadow and a a sundress as a flower, we must recognize that a good portion of them begin their journey to becoming that flower from the seed of weird weebo with an anime heroine fixation.

For any of those little seeds who may be germinating in here, I just want you to try to conceptualize that you are maybe 80-90% responsible for the proliferation of "woke" in the hobby. When people talk about stereotypes of gamers as "basement dwelling weirdos", they are specifically referring to anyone who looked at the OG pic in this thread and thought anything other than "who is this woman and what game is she in?"

If you saw that picture, and thoughts formed in your mind that the shading in her face somehow took away from her youthful appearance, and the way to rectify that was to complain and let the artist know... well, I just don't want you to think that you should be sitting at the cool kids table where we make fun of trannies, liberals, women, and all other vulnerable groups.

Nah. The face on the first artwork is intentionally butched up and doesn't look anything like the actual character that's supposed to be represented. It's fine to do a personal artistic interpretation of something, or someone, but that does not mean it can't be criticized for being inferior or just plain ugly compared to the original.

I'm starting to think this guy is trying to get hired by Shift Up.
Maybe he is tired of working at Naughty Dog, with all the problems with political control.
And he just wants to be in a studio where he can draw cool looking characters.

Well, I started to believe you are probably right..

Facial hair in women is not uncommon (especially if you have a metabolic disorder such as PCOS) - but most women will use various methods to remove it.

But I must say this is the first time I've ever seen a game which features facial hair in a (?)woman - maybe they've designated the character to be trans. Looks exactly like the trans kid from TLOU anyway.

So you have never seen Aloy from Horizon Burning Shores?

You guys are taking some artists hobby way too seriously. He just finished refining his previous sketch just like he did the first time:



Yet nobody is going round saying "see the first one was wrong you clowns" . You're just seeing somebody enjoying and sharing their work. There doesn't need to be ulterior motives behind it.

His second pics are much better than the first ones. Which follows what people have said as the first ones have too much black scratchy stuff everywhere. So his revised pics are cleaned up.

Because his first ones are his rough sketch style and he is just spending more time refining shading later. It would be like looking at this picture of Sam Porter by renown Yoji Shinkawa and questioning why hes got black stuff on his face and cheek
