I don’t generally have this problem, even with chibi or super-stylized art, but I’m having a real problem reading her as humanoid.
Are we entirely sure she was SUPPOSED to look human? Neither human anatomy nor earthly physics seem to apply to her body or her, ahem, clothes…
This is definitely one of those “WHY?!” character designs I mentioned lately.

Is ‘Looks Nothing Like the Male Version’ a free space for the purposes of this contest?
Good question.
I say, the choice is up to contestant: they are free to leave out the square (without getting any negative notes for that), but inclusion of a male version for comparison is definitely appreciated as additional effort.
Using a stock image of male armor just as a placeholder for comparison is good too.
Similarly for the ‘More advanced level = skimpier’ square. Depicting more than one version of the same armor counts as additional effort, but showing just one level of the armor is fine.

Break the Bingo – A CONTEST!
As a sendoff for the site’s and Female Armor Bingo’s and site’s anniversary, we prepared a little something for you guys: a Female Armor Bingo art contest!
We’ve been noted numerous times by our readers how tempting it is to design an “armor” so absurd that it crosses out ALL the Female Armor Bingo squares. So far no commercial work we tested the game on succeeded at that (though some came dangerously close), so how about we actually DO take this challenge?
The challenge: Design a skimpy female armor that covers every single possible point of the Female Armor Bingo.
The contestant MUST be the author of submitted art. Any type of art may be submitted, as long as its contents are clearly readable and presented as a standard web friendly file (jpeg, png, etc).
Already existing art is fine, as long as the contestant formally submits it, as per rules.
The contestants: To take part in the contest a person needs to have either tumblr account or deviantArt account, as we need legitimate way to contact the winners and track back their artwork. The contestant must either follow BABD on tumblr or BikiniArmorBeDamned group on deviantArt.
Anonymous submissions to tumblr are automatically disqualified!
The deadlines: All submissions have to enter via Bikini Armor Battle Damage’s submit box as image posts (with a “Contest entry” note in description) or to BikiniArmorBeDamned dA group’s Female Armor Bingo CONTEST folder before 31 March 2015.
The winners will be announced on bikiniarmorbattledamage 5 April 2015 (the Easter Sunday).
The prizes: 3 winners will be chosen and 3 prizes are offered. 1st place winner gets to choose the prize first, second one chooses after them, third one gets whatever prize is left. The available prizes are:
- A Steam copy of Life Goes On offered by wincenworks
- 1 full-color commision of a chosen character either as a chibi or a portrait, or a full-body detailed sketch offered by ozziescribbler
- Picking a topic for the next How Do I Armor comic post with the winner’s original character portrayed in-comic by wincenworks
If anyone’s interested in contributing more prizes, please contact us!
Keep in mind some bingo squares are directly or indirectly contradictory (a boobplate that covers only nipples?). We’re counting on your creativity with overcoming that.
Bonus points if you manage to score both the bingo 1.0-exclusive Cameltoe and 1.1-exclusive “How does it attach?!” points!
