Armor/character designs based on the heroin Jeanne d’arc.

What a nice example of what taking real historical armors as a reference can result in!

Drakensang

Originally found that lady on a web banner, but managed to get an un-cropped version of the pic, with other Drakensang characters for comparison.

There’s also a generic female archer in a green hood who can’t even hold a bow properly in the party! How original!

Refreshingly honest marketing?

Though why they treat “leaves nothing to imagination” like a positive thing is a mystery.

I want to say that it probably doesn’t contain anything from imagination either (seriously look how desolate and boring the landscape behind her is) but I’m pretty sure that outfit and anatomy have nothing to with reality.

Remember when I said earlier that Kojima reference never gets old? Wish I meant it only as “mocking that tweet about Quiet is always funny”.

NOPE. Media creators actually keep using some variation of “Once you learn why her being half naked has convenient in-story reasons, you will feel ashamed about your comments” to preemptively shut down criticism they know they gonna get for creepy double standards in costume/character design. 

So, again, let’s make it clear: designing fictional explanations for gratuitously creepy ideas in fiction does not mean they’re impervious from real-world critique.
