Hanza by J Hill

I do like this as an example of a design that is a pretty faithful alternative gender for a male character and, as part of that, a pretty good demonstration of how little modification to costume is really needed.

The only real gripes are the reduction in muscle tone and the indication that there’s bandages/strips of cloth used to hold boobs in place: That’s actually really dangerous and something we should really stop depicting as though it were a good idea.

(edit: Thank you to those who pointed out the unfortunate de-aging when compared to Hanzo’s default skin, which this is a gender flip of.  Also thank you to those who wrote in to notify of Sarashi, which is a specifically Japanese technique using special bandages – while it is not clear on this model, this technique is too often depicted with regular bandages. The heels would be a lesser gripe.)

Apparently girls don’t have skeletons. Only boobs and butts.
The differences between genders is pretty bad for almost all the classes for this game, but this one was by far the worst.

(From this game: http://www.dofus-touch.com/en)

Amazingly even though the male skeletonSram’s Shadow (presumably) has no genitalia to conceal, he still gets bigger and comfortable pants than the female generic sexy witchSram’s Shadow.

I wish I could be surprised that this comes from that this comes from the creators of Wakfu and that they well… chose this as a promotional image:

Even before we consider the “touch” aspect, that’s some serious @eschergirls anatomy she’s got going on there.

Look at these. Please, just look. This is ridiculous.

Worst part is that not only does this go with @eschergirls proportions and the weirdest looking wolf ever drawn (seriously, it’s like they google “bad taxidermy” to get reference images) but this is actually not their worst design.  I present to you, the “Dragon Lady” hero who is  “tank”:

Not only does she have nipple armor, but she seems to have armor that forces her to maintain that weird and painful looking posture.  In fact most of the female characters out of their totally original, not lazy rip offs at all, line up seem to be stuck in this pose and have their gear designed around it.

So basically they made a horror game without realizing it.

Oh Magic: The Gathering

Magic: The Gathering’s Commander decks are going to be released soon, and as usual with Magic, the women commanders are something of a mixed bag. Presented here without comment. If you want to learn more about these characters and the stories behind them check here.

Sadly, while taken as a whole Magic is a major mixed bag, it’s pretty clear from a casual examination of their site shows  which side of the fence the marketing crew is on:

Sigh.
