Tag: female armor design

Okay, so generally speaking we can usually summarize Grimm Fairy Tales costume design with one gif.

However, in this case I think they’ve managed to highlight two points of particular interest:

Point One: If you’re going to put buckles on an outfit think about where they will rub, what they might pinch on and where they’ll be pushed into if anything touches the wearer.

Point Two: You outfit can look all dark leather intimidating or it can tear like tissue paper – you cannot have it both ways.

Started playing Gems of War, and its female outfit situation is pretty dreary.

My “favourites” are the Ice Witch’s floating boob cups and the armour-clad green hippo (Sunweaver) with the random boob window. Though the balloon-boobed snow leopard (Shadow-Hunter) looks pretty ridiculous too.

(The compliation images are all the female cards and armours in the game atm.)

It is kind of amazing to see the combination of cutesy text/markup, horrifying monsters and painfully generic sex-sells outfits that this product has apparently chosen to use.

It’s almost like their whole strategy is “copy a bunch of stuff popular people are doing and hope it sells”.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens’s Captain Phasma, Unmasked

Star Wars: The Force Awakens’s Captain Phasma, Unmasked

I particularly like how, in this interview about a dress of all things, Gwendoline addresses the reason why Captain Phasma’s armor is so striking.

“…normally the kind of female characters that we see in films, we see the way in which they’re made flesh.  We see the outlines of their body. But this is a character who is wearing armor, and as a consequence we are forced to judge her or interact with her… form a relationship on her character and due to her actions.”

This is the power that you give characters when you don’t lean on sexualized tropes, objectification and the false idol of “sex sells”.
