Pictured: de-evolution of Artoria Pendragon (Lancer) – a variation on Saber’s character. Bingo inspired by this Escher Girls post.
Her regular design is also featured in the game, but miraculously gets more, not less, armor the higher the level – unlike this one.

Apparently the Status Quo Warriors are now rushing to showcase Golden Axe as an some sort of critical example. They apparently wonder why isn’t there more discussion over the male character in this exciting title (that was developed recently in 1989) so let’s ignore their concerns that’ve been addressed before and talk about Tyris Flare (we’ll get to Ax Battler later).
As mentioned previously, the original design was eighteen years old when they re-invented Tyris with the second outfit in a game that was received… well not very well:
Now, it’s worth mentioning that her default outfit actually looks a lot more practical than the one in the concept art they released.
And as for their concerns over Ax Battler? Well I’ll worry about that the moment they can find me a promotional image of him in this pose:
Yeah.

On one hand, an orc woman who looks like an orc, including facial features and muscular physique… On the other hand, her waist is so small it would look awkward even on a thin human; not the mention THE AMAZING UNDERBOOB that ruins her otherwise cool and stylized costume.

So, I decided to play a game called Aurcus Online, these are the two player characters. Hopefully I got all the right tags.
I’m really curious how they managed to have a few common traits but still have her outfit look so removed from his. Did one of them have their design revised many times and the other just get signed off on first draft?
