I feel like if this is Google Image search’s best guess for your tabletop wargame promo image then you either need to go back and revise your design or change the type of tabletop games you’re making.

As you can see, some of the details are a little unclear based off this promo art, I guess I’ll have to look at the in game sprite…
Oh…

Hecubah the necromancer’s design looks to me like something designed specifically to remind us, in case anyone forgot, that evilness forces sexyness on women.

So Fire Emblem Heroes came out
@whereismywizardhat submitted:
And I was about to complement the game’s female protag, Sharena on her design
But then
You have this awesome design that you decided to add hotpants to.
And then, the designers took a cue from Fate / Grand Order to really go there
clothing damage
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(for reference: This is what her brother looks like in the same uniform)
I feel like the designers assumed that if they gave her some sort of lacey panties they felt like they’d get in trouble – so they instead gave her white hotpants so tight there’s cameltoe…. ‘cause that’s better.
And destroyable armor should, of course, be destroyed.

Hey Nintendo, I have an idea for a game for you – make a new Zelda game but use bits of these comics from 1990 as the concepts. The bits where Zelda is kicking ass, rescuing the innocent and helping people overthrow evil.

So, Nintento… since you’ve taken a pretty good first step in this direction, just reminding you that any time you want to make Legend of Zelda game where the twist is you play as Zelda from the comics – the world is ready.
Any time.
Any time is good.
ANY TIME.

Look at that; warriors in the same (issued) armor, some of them are even *gasp* female. Without the “boob plates”, how will we know?
It’s sad that there are still men out there who “need” gender specific armor in their fantasy worlds.
What I really love about this set is that rather than mess with the female character’s armor to make overly telegraph her gender (and sex appeal) they’ve instead made the armor a standard and let the differences between the characters do the work.
Of course, it’s also a great reminder for the people insist that Asia is a magical land of unlimited fan service.

Let’s Talk About Princess Zelda’s New Look
Let’s Talk About Princess Zelda’s New Look
So for those that aren’t aware, the trailer for Breath of the Wild shows a costume design for Zelda is pretty awesome:
Needless to say, many people were thrilled about this design and generally praised Nintendo for this step forward. Of course, there’s a few folks to who’s primary concern is that you know nobody cares… but there’s also a lot of folks who are very excited and have created cosplay and all kinds of fan art.
- Cosplay by @driftingbystars
- Watercolor fan art by @morganamelia
- Animated fan art by @routexx
- Regal and feminine fan art by @inkmonsterdraws
- Zelda Casting Din’s Fire by @dysah
- “I love her so much” by @haruuuka
So basically the message to take away from this is that when certain people say “who cares” they really mean “I’m deeply upset that other people are enjoying a thing that wasn’t made exclusively for me”.

So, while it’s good that Blizzard recognized the Chinese New Year in Overwatch and game Mei a neat costume… it’s really disappointing that they seemed to feel the need to give it a pull in waist… to the extent they managed to glitch it.
Unsurprisingly, there seems to be quite a few people in the community who are skeptical of the idea that this @eschergirls worthy design is actually a bug.

Sabine Wren
@rainymeadows submitted:
So this is the design for Sabine Wren in season three of Star Wars Rebels.
She’s Mandalorian and artsy and it shows. So far she’s had a different design in each season and this one has been easily the most protective yet. Her chest plate is larger, her sleeves look thicker and she even has a convoree design on one of her shoulderplates as a tribute to a lost comrade. And she’s only 18-19 years old and looking very strong and tough and ready for battle.
I’m sure she’ll look fantastic in the Force Arena mobile game! After all, everybody else who was translated from show to game got pretty accurate representations!
…oh.
This reminds me a lot of the story of how Lara Croft was originally going to have a modest bosom, but then the 3D modeler accidentally extended the polygons too far and was told by his boss to “just leave it like that!”
Only in this case I get the feeling they originally made the model rather true to the design, then just kept getting told “make it rounder” until they started to worry it would be too ridiculous, even for Star Wars.
If they’re going to pretend an armored plate is a sports bra the least they could do is give it some straps.
