RE: Your rant. I don't really care what you decide to draw your girls in, but I'm gonna leave this here anyway for everyone to read if they want.

The main point of the article later is that it is, in fact, entirely possible to have fully armored women and have it still be sexy without being cheesecake, which I think is an interesting point.

That said, your priest gal is obviously wearing cloth so it's not like the cloth is going to protect her anyway should someone decide to run her through with a sword.

Yeah I saw that a couple of weeks ago I think. Definitely interesting.

But I like my cheesecake just fine.

I love this article, especially the part where he talks about the drawbacks of someone actually fighting in boob plate and how it could negatively affect her.

And internal consistency. I love me some plausibility.

Y'know, I have to say, this is one of the reasons why I'm still so impressed with my first RPG love named Suikoden. It's a Japanese RPG series that, for the most part, actually features women in plausible armor! There's really only one bad example, but she's always that way and it's kind of a joke (not a bad one, just like "oh hey, how little and implausible is x character's outfit this game oooh man that's so bad!")

This is an armor set that I've been dreaming about making and cosplaying:

I love that so much! She's feminine while still being able to kick ass. I know she's not the favorite in the series, but Chris is someone I'll always look up to.

There's other character designs with the "boob plate" but 9 times out of 10, it's something like Chris. So much lub. <3

So, this is one thing I always wondered but haven't really voiced.

WHY DON'T WORGEN HAVE TAILS? :|

...i think it would be cool if that did. Then everyone would know when they are happy. Or scared. (har, har)

Really lovely picture, though. Was the real point of this post. :)

OMG I KNOW RIGHT? Like, for a while there, I drew them with tails. I never even noticed they didn't, because why the hell wouldn't they? xD It was actually pretty recently that someone pointed out to me that they didn't and I was crushed. Dx

That question is usually followed by me wondering why Tauren ladies have boobies instead of udders.

Lol forget the whole boob armor, could you imagine designing armor around udders? xD

Fully clothed, naked as a jay bird... It doesn't matter. This is a beautiful piece. Your colors work so well together, and even the little details like the gems glowing show that you put a lot of effort in. I only wish the worgen looked -this- good! Ugh.

Snazzy! The white with gold trim is really great on her and she looks kickass and sexy both.

I'm dying at "titties pay my bills," 'cause it makes me picture boobs writing checks. Much lulz.

I don't understand why people feel the need to gripe at you for drawing whatever you want. You're the one drawing it. Unless it was a commission for them, they need to shut up and draw their own damn things if it bothers them so much. Same goes for what they wear.

Not gonna lie though, I would love to have, say, pants that go under your armor and fill a pants equivalent of the in-game shirts sometimes. Also skimpy boy armor, but apparently that will turn all the dudebros who play totally GAY!!! so I don't see us getting any more than the paltry offerings we have now in that area.

thejinxii January 3 2012, 18:42:48 UTC
LOL now I'm dying because that is HILARIOUS. xD

And YES. Like, tights or leggings or something! Would make sense too, since you wouldn't wear plate ontop of your bare skin, you know?

They let Ysera wear leggings or whatever those are, after all.

This. I want to be able to wear the upgrade I just got as a quest reward without feeling uncomfortable with how I look. Shirts are awesome, because if people want to show skin then they can, and if I want to cover up more then I can do that too, without having to spend all my time and money going back and transmogging stuff all the time.

The picture is gorgeous! And yeah, just affirming the whole "you can draw your characters wearing whatever you like" thing. I'm sorry you had people being sucky about that :(

I love skimpy outfits. Almost every single one of my toons is in some sort of bikini armor. My undead hunter is wearing the Ebonhold outfit and while it doesn't look the same as it would on say, a blood elf, it is revealing in all the right places and more! Yay bones! lololol

Feminism is about CHOICE. If you CHOOSE to dress your characters in skimpy outfits then why are feminists complaining about your ability to have choice??? I would much rather have the freedom to dress my characters up however I please than to be regulated and shoved into a box.

I almost want to go into a mini rant about Real Life and feminism and choices women make every day but I think keeping it to pixelated boobs is much safer.

I was thinking about the draenei male flirt complimenting someone's transgoto(s) so that went along with revealing one's bones as a Forsaken.
