Magic Meat Week Day 1: Fantasy
Starting it off with your typical fighter who’s ready to swing his big sword at all his enemies! Oh and use his blade too I guess
Look at that sharp armor! It says so much about him and his and backstory. Those colors and shapes are obviously alluding to his fiery personality. I really love that thong of his that doesn’t have straps. Clearly, this fighter is a Machiavellian, only wearing what is absolutely necessary, and not bothering with frivolities like a shirt, or pants, or even garters! And with a sword like that, how can he be expected to wear plate or chainmail, let alone clothes? They would only hinder his movements.
Excellent job creating a unique and deep character!

just because it covers the tiddy doesn’t make it practical

A good rule of thumb for armor design, if you asked me.

There’s a reason why “boobplate” is the center square in the Female Armor Bingo. It may cover the tiddy, but it can kill ya.

Magilou and the case of book-skirt
The first stream redesign I did was for the infamous “leatherbound books make a perfect skirt!” costume of Magilou from Tales of Berseria, which we bingoed before.
I suppose the creators thought that being a magic user excuses her sense of fashion, but I wouldn’t know how to begin explaining their exact thought process.
Agreeing with Icy that poofy pants are great (and would compliment the shape of Magilou’s hat), I decided to put them in place of the mind-boggling book-skirt.
Without books, her furry collar became the only splash of brown in her design, so I got rid of it, replacing it with a collar that would make her top wearable.
While working on that I noticed that the alternating blue-pink rythm of her color scheme was inconsistent in some small details, so I recolored her left shoe and painted light pink diamonds on her right sleeve. Also added a fringe to the pants and an undershirt that, along with new collar, fit the scheme of details being lighter shades of pink and blue, while primary shapes are colored darker.
Her hat was pretty awesome and its color asymmetry not really distracting, so I left it as it was.

Topics we addressed before:
- This very rare positive example of warrior woman in an Applibot game (proceed the last link with caution – NSFW contents galore)
- The “You’re never happy, aren’t you?” rhetoric and why we’re refuse to be satisfied with token female representation.
- Empowered Superman, as proposed by Gail Simone
- The “This thing is/used to be/should count as porn, therefore female objectification in it shouldn’t be accounted for!” logic
- The “Why would you sexualize men if you’re so critical of sexualizing women?!” rhetoric.
- The 3-D printed Sovereign armor.
- The “Metal Gear Solid totally does sexualization equally across genders! Sexism is over because Raiden was naked once!” argument.

It’s okay, Ismael, we at BABD also apparently don’t have any respect for other people’s work.
Besides fixing the boobplate, look at all those added details that greatly improve this design; the added armor to the legs, the shape changes to the pauldrons and couters, the tabard, it all looks so much better. Now this is a skin I would love to have, if I played as Brigitte.
