Give it up man. You absolutely cannot talk sense into people when it comes to this particular, ahem, "design choice". See, we run into this problem when people get into game modding who are without a doubt artistically talented, but who are also, unfortunately, in the throes of puberty. It affects their judgement in ways that are beyond rational thought.

So we got Cyberblutch, an artist/modeler so talented that he ended up getting hired by Arkane Studios, who did some amazing updated models for System Shock 2. But he initially put fangs and claws on almost everything, and could not be dissuaded from giving the Cyborg Midwives gigantic bare breasts.

Then there's the guys from Fakefactory, who've been updating HL2 with their Cinematic Mod for a while now. In their latest release, they make Alyx Vance look like a porn starlet.

So, frustrating as it may be, we can't really blame _Alex_, for wanting to make everything he touches XTREME. He's still at that tender DO THE DEW! age, and literally can't help himself. Trying to explain why Anna shouldn't be wearing a peekaboo top, or have a face projecting pure stereotypical evil incarnate, is just line noise to him. The hormones surging through his barely-pubescent veins command him.

See that's just uncalled for, you're outright personally attacking the guy because you don't like how he models game characters. It's incredibly petty. You need to separate your personal judgments from your criticisms if you want to accomplish anything constructive.

You really need to work on your reading comprehension.

Yes. At the age of 22, after going through rigorous art / design training and after having just about completed my bachelor's degree in computer arts, i clearly am nothing more than a lusty pre-pubescent boy.

It's fuckheads like you, Zylon. Bitter, useless cunts of your sort, who make this forum an unhappy place.

Go learn an appreciable skill of some kind.

See, that's the magic of zylonbane: we all have our differences, but we can nonetheless unite in a magical refutement of ZB's sarcasmotardness. He sometimes makes sense, but the whole signal to irritationoise ratio is unworkable.

Also, let's be honest, Anna may well have a big fucking subcutaneous metal plate right between her tits, so peephole tops ftw. Or something. Christ, I didn't even notice, so what does that say about my level of pre/post/whatever pubescence?

Under their particular line of argument you'd have to ask why she doesn't wear a helmet either, then. ;) Of course Anna and Gunther have armor under their skin, ala Terminators. Hell, I thought in the original model she was wearing just a leather outfit, not any sort of exterior armor.

Dead / sex life existent / access to porn existent (Because I believe being the Overlord of DXE and having a girlfriend at the same time is virtually impossible I'd put my money on the latter)

DDL is actually the Nominal Evil Funding Overlord of DXE, so it just means he has the money. Which means DDL's probability of also having a woman is actually pretty good.

Oh and just a quick question here: Did Alex at any time actually show Maggie's breasts in any of the screenshots? :?

No. but i should have

it would have given "ZylonBane" more fuel to launch silly american tirades against percieved "indecency".... honestly , i dont know what it is about Americans and boobs, but for as much as they love the things, they take every opportunity possible to pretend they are sinful and need to be hidden.

I dont get it. I dont think i ever will. This guy is apparently 39 years old, and still freaking out about stuff like this depicted in art.

Boobs or no boobs, i'm just trying to make art in a style that pleases me, and is tolerable to you guys. If you dont like my little personal touches, that's fine.
But for god's sake, dont use them as an excuse to rant about how mature or immature you think i am. I've seen / touched / cockslapped my own share of real-world tits, i dont need to use 3d as an outlet.

But let's face it. all boobs rule. 3d or not :D

You can go fuck yourself america.

If by "you", you mean ZylonBane.

Since he's no longer able to "fight" back, though, let's leave him alone now.

I just want to see a complete "group shot" like Alex's signature with all the updated models. :)
