As requested by @oldmanskeleton – Boudica from Fate Grand Order.

I’ll be real with you here. This isn’t really an armor fix. There was nothing to work with here. This is a full on redesign. I based her more on the depictions of the historical person because she looked badass.

There was nothing to work with here indeed. 

Fate’s absolutely abysmal treatment of Boudica, a warrior queen from Britain’s ancient history, is the logical conclusion of pushing the “Covers only nipples and genitals on the torso” bingo square to the extreme.
The blatant disregard of how clothes (and physics) work makes me wish she just wore two pasties and a c-string, which would be more honest and realistic skimpy costume than… whatever the fuck that thing on her boobs is supposed to be. 

I really love what you did with this non-costume, @enecola! Kept the only even remotely interesting part, the poofy sleeves, and put her in an actual dress, while using the original… thing’s… color scheme. Was a simple frock really too hard of an idea for the creeps behind Fate franchise? 

Literally the only thing even vaguely non-creepy about the original design is how she gains more (still very sexualized) clothes with level-ups, instead of losing them.

Though, from where she started, there was room only for (strictly technical) progress, I suppose.

Ah, this not-so-old design, as I actually finalized it a few days ago, even though I started it back when we just started doing this whole livestreaming thing. So this is Shielder from Fate/Grand Order, whom we featured on the blog before. I took her “stage 2″ armor and tried to actually make it look more like armor and less like… whatever the heck that is in the original. I decided not to give her full plate because she does have that huge shield (now with wheels!).

One weird notable detail is that she seems to have these purple “racing stripes” on her arms and legs; what’s that about? I got rid of all that stuff and instead incorporated the purple as cloth detail. The poofy pants make a comeback, this time with a poofy-sleeved shirt to match! I decided to add some white to her color scheme, because just grey and purple was very boring once the bare skin stops being a color. Finally, I cut her bangs, just because her hair was annoying me. It also didn’t go with the rest of her design at all.

Overall, it’s probably not my best work, and I put in a lot more effort than I should have just redesigning various elements, but it’s definitely more believable as an armor than the original. Seriously, that crotch window… jeez.

Oh look, Liz got me a bingo. And Mordred was soooooo close.

I decided to do some Female Armor Bingo for my least favorite designs in FGO. I don’t think it’s really worth it to write any pieces on these armor selections because I don’t wanna tire myself out on something no one else is going to read, so this is a much simpler way of venting my opinions.

For the ‘no head protection’ bit, I just went with ‘the character has stuff in their hair that serves no purpose as armor’, rather than ‘they aren’t wearing a helmet’ or anything like that (or, in the case of Mordred, ‘they used to have a helmet and now it’s gone). Liz should technically have that, but I don’t know if her horns are decoration or not, so I decided  might as well leave that be.

What an impressive collection of all flavors of terribad!
Not that we’re surprised, seeing what bingos Fate/Grand Order served us before (especially how it ruined Saber/Artoria).

Incidentally, “I don’t think it’s really worth it to write any pieces on these armor selections […] so this is a much simpler way of venting my opinions.” is one of the reasons Female Armor Bingo exists.
Those skimpy female warrior outfit tropes are so boring and prevalent it’s not worth wasting lengthy explanations on. Just fill out a bingo card and link to all the others we’ve had here for comparison. The point about the creativity of bikini armor makes itself.

If you thought Lancer Artoria Pendragon was the most insulting and sexualized take on Saber’s character, then you haven’t heard of her dark (Alter) Lancer counterpart! Unholy underboob, Batman!

How does it stay in place? Where did her nipples go? Why do her breasts look detached from the torso? Obviously, the answer for all of the above is: evil is sexy. 

While the usual side of breast cleavage is not shown here, I marked “boob window” because of that boob-belly window. Also “nipple additions” for that scraps of fabric which are where the nipples should be. 

Bingo again inspired by that @eschergirls post.
