And be jiggling all over the place SFV style, but that still may come to fruition.

I'm glad they're keeping us abreast of the art situation.
Anyone catch that update?
Looking good, Miriam!
I like that she looks to have a rim light that will make her stand out against the background.
Is this official art? If so, fucking Christ with the gigantic boobs. I mean, I guess I should be glad she isn't wearing Ivy-esque scraps of clothing but come on.

Honestly, this isn't quite what I expected:
I sure hope they improve the lighting and shaders a lot until release. This has a bit of a dollhouse feel - Not quite what I expected a next-gen Symphony of the Night to look like.

Its kind of weird, the concept are showed a more slender figure like Shanoa in Order of Ecclesia but now she has the assets of Carmilla from Castlevania: Judgment.
The costume is the same from the campaign though...

New shader looks pretty good, just needs some anti-aliasing in there I think.
#TeamShowLessBoob, jeez.

My god that character design is horrendous

I really like the new shader, but yeah, her design is still lamoid.

That is what I'm more worried about. Her design is fine.
Good thing they got a lot of time to work on it and I hope they use it to make the game look less like Dracula X Chronicles since that was the biggest fear for me when I found out they were going with this style.
this looks awful

It was always bad, though. I'm surprised people are only now noticing tbh.

yup, what were they thinking??? it's almost porn
I think it could be to help show off the crystal "tattoo" in the distanced, 40 foot perspective. It's still completely unknown how often they will use the in-game models for a zoomed-in close up. Her boobs don't look so big in that far off shot.
Looks amateurish at best. But hey, those guys are behind Mighty No.9 so it might end up looking like some kind of HD N64 title or something.

Haha, yeah. That really is my only issue with this character design. The black layer (of clothing? armor?) over the left boob just makes it look flat.

New shading looks fantastic.
Yow, what happened here...OG concept art (compare size and tattoo position)
New render
Yeah.. someone at some point went kinda offroad

I'd say the concept art in general was pretty inconsistent. Some she almost looked flat, others she was pretty stacked. One example of the latter being that PS4 art.
I'm sure they've noticed it before. It used to look like a forgettable mess before the transition to 3D turned it into its own punchline.It was always bad, though. I'm surprised people are only now noticing tbh.
That boob window + modesty flap combo. Yikes.
IGA-sama how are we going to sell this game in Japan. The character is not 6 years old or a cat girl. Increase the breast size!
It's like their work on other games (from the Mega Man Zero games to Azure Striker Gunvolt
to the Gal*Gun games
It's a bit weird, though... the game is early in development so a lot of things still need to come together, but the issues people raise now are much more pertinent than they would be when development is wrapping up and things can't really be changed.
Personally, I'm not too worried about the look of the game right now, but I'm not a fan of how busty they made her look in-game (although that might be due to how she looks with a zoomed out camera, or other considerations).
That's not an issue with UE4 anymore, as developers have control over the lighting in the engine and can do pretty much whatever they want. And even with UE3, not every game had that similar look. <insert screenshot of GGXrd *here*>

She looks lovely. Can't wait to see that new shader in motion.

I like big boobs.
I like small boobs.
I like covered boobs and uncovered boobs.
If big, uncovered boobs bother some people and they find it problematic I think they should say something and I would hope that Iga would see enough people feeling uncomfortable or put out by that design decision in the current video game climate and make a change that will push less people out and make it feel more enjoyable for a wider swath of the population and especially for women who were excited at the prospect of a strong, non-sexualized female character.
I won't mourn the loss of a design I like (see above, big uncovered boobs are swell to me) if it infringes on other people's ability to enjoy a game. Go ahead and change it. I fully support this initiative.

Nobody still says this. Especially since the new Guilty Gear was first shown.

Looks gross. What an embarrassing character model. Looks like a cocktail waitress with a bad boob tattoo.

Her bust size in general is pretty inconsistent from the artwork released by them, but I don't really see an issue with it in general since they can do whatever they like with their character designs.
The lighting is the only thing that looks a bit wonky at the moment, but I imagine that's not something entirely static and such.

Some women have large breasts. Some women have small breasts. This character falls into one of these categories.
