Magic Meat Week Day 1: Fantasy

Starting it off with your typical fighter who’s ready to swing his big sword at all his enemies! Oh and use his blade too I guess

Look at that sharp armor! It says so much about him and his and backstory. Those colors and shapes are obviously alluding to his fiery personality. I really love that thong of his that doesn’t have straps. Clearly, this fighter is a Machiavellian, only wearing what is absolutely necessary, and not bothering with frivolities like a shirt, or pants, or even garters! And with a sword like that, how can he be expected to wear plate or chainmail, let alone clothes? They would only hinder his movements.

Excellent job creating a unique and deep character!

Magilou and the case of book-skirt

The first stream redesign I did was for the infamous “leatherbound books make a perfect skirt!” costume of Magilou from Tales of Berseria, which we bingoed before. 
I suppose the creators thought that being a magic user excuses her sense of fashion, but I wouldn’t know how to begin explaining their exact thought process.

Agreeing with Icy that poofy pants are great (and would compliment the shape of Magilou’s hat), I decided to put them in place of the mind-boggling book-skirt. 
Without books, her furry collar became the only splash of brown in her design, so I got rid of it, replacing it with a collar that would make her top wearable. 

While working on that I noticed that the alternating blue-pink rythm of her color scheme was inconsistent in some small details, so I recolored her left shoe and painted light pink diamonds on her right sleeve. Also added a fringe to the pants and an undershirt that, along with new collar, fit the scheme of details being lighter shades of pink and blue, while primary shapes are colored darker.

Her hat was pretty awesome and its color asymmetry not really distracting, so I left it as it was.

It’s okay, Ismael, we at BABD also apparently don’t have any respect for other people’s work.

Besides fixing the boobplate, look at all those added details that greatly improve this design; the added armor to the legs, the shape changes to the pauldrons and couters, the tabard, it all looks so much better. Now this is a skin I would love to have, if I played as Brigitte.

Ophis (Dragon’s Dogma)

Ophis (Dragon’s Dogma)

Okay, I just have to include this blurb about her from the wiki because it made me laugh:

“The leader of the Westron Labrys band of lady bandits in the western part of the peninsula. She loves to fight, and hates men.”

Is that why she doesn’t wear a normal breastplate, cause it’s too man-like? Seeing the designs of other lady NPCs in the game, this looks like just another generic bad armor design rather than any attempt at characterization. It’s disappointing that they decided that she needed sleeves, but not the rest of the undershirt, which would have prevented the chafing that’s probably the reason she’s so grumpy.

My headcanon is that she’s killing men because they’re the ones wearing comfortable armor, and she just hasn’t looted a breastplate that fits her well enough yet.

“I hate men, therefore I dress in a way that panders to them!” reminds me of Oglaf’s Glamazon Way strip.

Except Oglaf is a self-aware parody and makes a point about gendered double standards instead of playing them straight with no subversion.
