Some asked me if there were any male characters in Scarlet Blade. Well, here you go, two NPCs. For the last guy, I say props for giving him some pink with a heart and no shirt… but he goes nowhere near the extremes the ladies do.  Nowhere near.

Also, a male class is currently on it’s way, as can be seenhere. If you watch the video, you’ll notice there is a big difference between the women’s armor.. and his.

Rest in peace Scarlet Blade, you’re no longer expected to produce amazing beefcake for their singular male class…

The pressure to maintain this level of empowerment for men must have been overwhelming… especially once they got out of character creation and gained levels. (Video below is NSFW)

I hope you like it.

Holy cow. I come back (sort of) from my hiatus to see this…! This is amazing! Seeing design being done in such a professional matter makes me realize that truly, indeed, this would definitely be something I’d see in games today. Think a MMORPG, a fighting game, a fantasy comic book heroine, an alternative costume for a “sexy pirate”. And to see this on a realistic woman makes things even more clear to me. There is so much potential in the design, it is absolutely beautifully done but, well, let’s just say imagining my privates having cold metal clinging to my body like that… *shivers*. Not to mention the questions I had for it in the original post.

The repaired version, though… I might just have literally dropped my jaw to the ground right now. I want to know more about this mysterious figure. I want to know what her story is, who she is, what she’s up to! Her outfit makes me so curious. And I genuinely would pay money to see this character star her own game. Can you imagine; an assassin that just left a masquerade? An adventurer entering the battle scene? Hooo boy. I need this.

(Also, from a character designer’s perspective; the repaired version is pure genius in terms of silhouette and placing of colors.)

Good work on this!

That’s one seriously impressive translation of Tica’s cartoon parody into a 3D render. A render that is creepily plausible in video game standards.

Oh the gold-plated merkin!

In case anyone wondered why we opted for the cartoonishly exaggerated winners in our horrible female armor design contest… that is why. Some of the more detailed entries, while gorgeous in their own right, hit a bit too close home and set off the Poe’s Law alarm, just like Dit’s sculpt does.

Also 100% agreed on the fixed redesign. THAT character deserves her own game.
