While ZB did have a point in that players like to see more sexualized characters, and though he had good examples in the HL2 mod and the systemshock midwife, I think the argument was by far overextended with Anna. Aside from the metal biceps, she's completely covered up to a turtleneck-type collar. We can wonder what Anna's thinking and motivation is, just as we can wonder about Maggie's style, but the new art is not inconsistent with the characters. I think it's unfortunate that ZB had to be banned, but he had to be banned for the kind of insulting garbage he ended up saying.

That's exactly what I like. I want it tolerable, but this is art too. I think that your textures have been so accurate to the characters, and that if the creative details aren't appreciated, anyone could take a heavy blur filter to the texture and produce exactly what we started with.

How is Maggie Chow lately? Her adoring public is hoping for paparazzi photos

For all the "randomness" in the thread, I'm surprised no one's mentioned this picture.

That is a really excellent picture. I always loved it. It's very... noir. Very Blade Runner.

"Ms Chow, you're trying to seduce me..."

I was always under the impression that JC was talking to some huge lags in that screen shot.

Work continues.... Obviously unreal engine 1.0 wont support such bloom, or the illumination on her dress, i just thought it looked cool for the render.

Awesome dress

Still not very happy with her hair, though

the face is like... slanted backwards... and how old is Maggie in the game again?

I'm impressed!

Though, is it just me or are her shoulders a little broad?

I thought she was going to have a pearl necklace?

That's SO so so beautiful - her face looks wonderful - the eyebrows and lips are spot on now The dress is stunning too - very rich looking and totally suits the character - the shades of the colours you've chosen really highlight this.

I reserve judgement about the hair tho' until we can try it in game - we don't know how that is going to pan out.

Beautiful work Alex

I agree. The face is very well now and the dress looks awesome but the hair is still an issue in my opinion.

I really like the dress as well.

I think it'll be interesting if the hair can be made to work in-game, since its much different from the hairstyle any other character.
