YES, you have my permission to use my pixel art and icons; provided you credit me somewhere on your blog!! :^) soapy / 21 / trans / [he/him/his] hey cool kid i'm soapy i like trans headcanons and bara ladies and uncomfortably personal role playing games how 'bout you? this is space-soap's video game blog. little to no reblogs; mostly art and a few text posts im an illustration student and a professional graphic designer but i only post shitty fan art, sorry.

WOOO I did a redesign of this hot monstrosity. The screen shots used in this post were provided by doctorsanity, who submitted them to bikiniarmorbattledamage

Look, Iโ€™ve been employed as a designer for two years now, and maybe thatโ€™s not that long; Iโ€™m at least sure I donโ€™t have the same kind of industry experience that the designers in charge of this train wreck probably do, but I do know one thing: 

Design that fails to communicate its intended message is bad design. 

It is, in my opinion, the chore element that separates what we do from Fine Art - fine art is a personal expression. Someone can argue with the conclusions that you came to in fine art but ultimately, itโ€™s your territory, your message, your composition, your voice, your story.

When youโ€™re a hired designer, everything changes. Itโ€™s their story, their character, their message, their voice.

Putting aside the obvious pandering and intent to profit off of misogynistic ideals in female video game characters for just an instant, letโ€™s talk about Charlotte.

Charlotte [evidently, from what Iโ€™ve admittedly heard through the grapevine; this game is not yet out in my country] uses a masquerade of charm and innocence to seduce men for their wealth. When I heard this, I was shocked, because from the moment I saw her outfit, she never looked like someone I could trust.

If sheโ€™s supposed to look demure, make her look demure, goddammit. You shouldnโ€™t need a greenhorn like me to tell you these things. Learn to treat your female characters with more respect.
