Seconding Chunkyman heartily. Fantastic job, Fev! And for the artist, should he or she be reading this, the original artwork was fantastic, it really was. I think everyone, including myself, is just a little skittish after too many armor-bikinis.

 

She. Polina Hristova.

 

(At least I think it's her. As Edair was hers)

I did see that. She does great work. Not sure why I didn't draw the Edair connection earlier. Thank again, C2B.

My pleasure

Honestly while the whole boob-plate thing does bother me, what jumps out at me more is the orange in the hair that doesn't really fit in with the muted colours of the rest of the image. Because it's so disconnected colour wise, I keep seeing it as a wig... I know it's probably just me but I just can't get over it...

I honestly am not a fan of the "shapely" plate either. I know this is a fantasy roleplaying world but it would build it up a great deal more suspension of disbelief by adhering to some little things like realistic armor and the like.

Most probably, she would.

 

Not unless she shrunk several sizes.

 

Seems to me that people has a problem more with he size than the plate shape.

 

Maybe if she had silicon implants, but real ones do compress. Sports bras, for instance

 

But beyond that, real plate armor is worn over a padded coat anyway.

 

And that picture I linked to of an actress playing Joan of Arc, she didn't seem to have any trouble fitting into real armor.

Boob plates do indeed suck.

 

But... given the camera we're going to have, will we even see it?

There's arguments that it's a decision because of the camera to be able to differ between males and females better.

 

Edit: Yeah, it's Polina's signatue.

That edit looks WAY better.

She seems to have rounded the breast plate now more.

I am liking that.

The edit is absoulely perfect! Thanks for listening! Also where did you get that, C2B? Are you holding out on us or am I just blind?

Wait, is that one official? It looks really good!

It was edited into Chris update post.

Yup. Either she revised it today or the one in the PA report is older.

This breastplate definitely fits better with the rest of the armor pieces. That armor looks slick!

Putting in for new page

That is definitely much much better - more subtle, still feminine, less in-your-face. Me likey.

Now I have to wonder if they were intentionally testing for feedback.

"Okay, lots of people say they dislike boobplate, but how do they really feel?"

And blind it is. Not only have I been looking for that update all day, but even after I found the update in the forums, I still couldn't find the concept art. Heaven (and forum members) help me.

Now I have to wonder if they were intentionally testing for feedback.

"Okay, lots of people say they dislike boobplate, but how do they really feel?"

 

Maybe. Or that PA article had an older version.

 

Anyway, no boobplate and I still love the artstyle.

Now I have to wonder if they were intentionally testing for feedback.

"Okay, lots of people say they dislike boobplate, but how do they really feel?"

 

For some reason going back in forth between the two, i keep getting vibes that this one actually feels like the original, the other an edit. I dunno why. It just fits together better.

Intentional manipulation of the masses?

 

Adam Brennecke, Feargus, Sawyer, Hristova and MCA are surely laughing maniacly at this moment.

I still don't understand where did the other parth of cuirass go, and how the plate skirt, if it's a skirt, actually holds without it. Also, I just noticed how the shield actually connects to her body. I am not sure if it's the right way of carrying a shield on your back, at least not how I've seen people carrying their shields if they use one. I think you would want to either have a single strap which goes diagonally around your torso, or maybe two like on a backpack. That allows you to easy get it off and defend yourself. With that kind a system Cadegund has, I think she'd need someone's help to actually remove shield from her back, cause it won't be easy to unlock all the metal clasps etc.

 

Yeah, nitpicking. This picture is better than the old one.
