Gotham Girls RPG redesign for fun š They actually make a very well-balanced team! I was originally going to do them all as knights but then saw Mindy Leeās Poison Ivy Druid and got inspired. www.instagram.com/kelseyeng32
I love seeing women in fantasy worlds with practical and pretty outfits that fit their personalities
Oh, we are very interested. ? I love how every gal has her own distinct style, and their armor/clothes are actually… appropriate… for their roles???? There are so many subtle details on each of the ladies, and yāall know how much I love those. I particularly like the fresh take on Harley, because just theĀ ājesterā look, separate from Harley, has kind of become boring and same-y over the years, but this version is different and fun and cool. That hat + pigtails idea is Gold.Ā
I would play the crap out of this RPG if it existed, though thereās no healer… Would Ivy begrudgingly hand out healing potions?
My contribution to @magicmeatmarch this year! Itās a set of armor fit for a light and swift fighter. It protects the important parts while avoiding restrictions on mobility.
Iād been wanting to make a larger breatplate-type item for a while, this felt like a good excuse. I went with the overlapping plates motif that Iāve used in a number of other projects. Itās secured in place with Too Many Buckles along the sides. When itās all tightened up it has a bit of a corset nature, straightening up your posture. Made it a bit tricky to do the over-the-top twisting-to-show-off-tits-and-butt poses. But I persevered.
The codpiece, bracers and cuisses were older designs, but itās always good to fit them into matching outfits.
It reminds me a tiny bit of this atrocity from Queenās Blade, except tailored with actually appropriate amount of supportive belts.Ā
And I canāt imagine that if @armoreddragonās model happened to be female that she would have to worry about her breasts flopping out, like that poor anime character.Ā
I dunno about you guys, but no matter the gender, I have far less trouble being turned on by a skimpy armor-clad character if what theyāre wearing is actually physically possible on a real human.Ā
@bikiniarmorbattledamage has now done tworedesigns of thisversion of Tira from Soul Calibur so I decided to take a stab at it. While this is my first time doing this type of redesign/paint-over I think it turned out pretty well. I decided to lean into the jester look for her clothing while also incorporating the bones from her original design. I like that she ended up looking somewhere between a jester and a witch.
This is so cool! Thank you for @-ting us!Ā
I think it speaks both to what garbage the original is and how much lost potential Tira has that each of us came up with completely different fix for this un-costume.
Hope Icy doesnāt mind, but I think you managed to solve Tiraās wardrobe problem in the most cohesive and creative way out of us three, @j–mno-art. I really love the jester/witch look, the bone detailing, her hairstyle and the little cape.Ā

The hair and the bone details are bomb. Personally, I still think that the Bird Connection could be expanded upon to add some texture variety with the feathers and whatnot, but thatās mostly detail stuff. She definitely looks way better than the original, now that she actually has a design, rather than just Underboob.
In MGSV if you ogle Quiet, she āposesā for you suggestively. In Death
Stranding if you stare at Samās crotch, he punches you. The framing of
both of these are bad. One is framed as a reward, the other is framed as
āno homo!ā despite the playerās action in both being the same. I donāt
care if you worship Kojima, we REALLY need to talk about the āmale gazeā
perspective in his games, and stop giving him a pass because you love
his games.
On the one hand, I do appreciate that ogling a character who isnāt comfortable with it comes with consequences. On the other hand, I doubt there are consequences for ogling any of the ladies. I also agree with theĀ āno-homoā and violence criticism. Are guys not allowed to sayĀ āhey, could you stop staring at my crotch? Itās making me uncomfortableā? Wincenworks, please confirm.
This really points out the big double standard in the last 2 games from Kojima, as well as most of the media we criticize on this blog: that men have agency and women are just objects meant for consumption, whether thatās for fan-service, being a plot device, or being a lamp. The two lady characters I know from the reveals from Death Stranding are named Mother and Fragile, so thatās…. not promising at all.Ā

Punching people in the face for looking at their crotch is generally frowned upon in society, as it is usually customary for the other party to demand you be removed from premises or charged, even in places which still haveĀ āgay panicā defenses on the books.Ā (What Iām saying is this normalizes the absurd justifications cishet men use for real violence against real men-loving-men)
making edits that actually reflect equality of presentation between the two byleths in fire emblem three houses because i think the official outfits are a fucking farceĀ
we could have bad bad ass f!byleth instead of dressed in the dark in a hot topic byleth jesus
Cadeyrn, deuteragonist (in SR1, anyway), then recurring āantagonistā, former mercenary who put it all behind him for love.
I love it when a male character design is at the same time unironically very sexy empowered in skimpy clothes (without need of commenting on that) AND has a ton of detail put into him and his costume.Ā
He even manages to rock a mullet, of all things, probably by the power of those cute silver hair strikes šĀ

I really hate the female Nergigante armor in MHW, so I decided to try my hand at a really quick redesign. Tried to keep it mostly close to the original, but also using the male version as the main source of changes.
The funny thing is- the skin showing isnāt even the part I hate the most. I donāt like how miss-mash the armor is. Most of the major parts of the armor look like they came from different clothing. And Nergigante is supposed to be a ferocious beast. The armor from the female set doesnāt look fierce at ALL.
While Iām usually not for overly stabby armor, this is a very fine redesign done with the originalās over the top aesthetic in mind, just without all that sexism.Ā
I really like how you retained the originalās silhouette and detailing while inserting actual armor in place of a generic bikini. And even though the armoring is based on the male version, it still has unique features, like the toothy helmet. Very good job at shape breaking and contrasts, too!Ā
Amazingly, a female costume design doesnāt have to be sexualized to be stylized. Who knew?Ā ?
