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.

Side note: Luara is around 16 years old, and is going back to a revealing outfit, despite making a point about her ANW outfit having body armor because being shot still fucking hurts even with a healing factor.

Meanwhile Kamala Khan, also roughly 16, has an outfit that’s practical and not overly revealing.

This is basically just going back to what X-23 has been shown as wearing traditionally because that’s what “the core audience” supposedly wants. And I say that as someone who defends Power Girl’s boob window and Tigra’s two piece.

Currently, Laura is either 19 or 20. But the outfits are still too revealing for someone who fights in close quarters.

@bikiniarmorbattledamage , I am sad to inform you that after all the progress in Laura getting practical outfit in All-new Wolverine, they decided to backtrack this hard.

Remember when less than two years ago we celebrated X-23 getting a reasonable suit and the creators addressing the need of protective costumes even for a self-healing character? 

Yeah, it’s going out of the window and back to the skin-bearing bullshit again for poor Laura:

Most of those would be perfectly fine street fashion pieces, but why try to sell them as superhero outfits? Here’s hoping the final comic features neither of the above, instead opting for something you’d actually wear in a fight.

I spent about 7 minutes fixing her design while listening to a video.

Didn’t even need a livestream!

I…. I think I’m going to do this to design my barbarians outfit for D&D….

GUYS THIS WAS A MISTAKE!

This is the best addition to my post. Thank you.

@bikiniarmorbattledamage

The only good way of using that method of costume design – male empowerment! That is some really nice character look. Love how @zestyzelda (tickle-me-hanzo url seems to be snatched by a spambot now) translated all the random cutouts into actual costume elements, like belts and one shoe with open toes 🙂

I just want to call attention to the half-glove that has a thumb on it but not the rest of the fingers. This is a great and creative interpretation of the shapes. That barbarian’s intimidate prowess is going to be off the charts!
