There is very little "texture" on her skin and the fabric on that one shot - the other pictures in the article are less retouched. I'm not sure why the heavy 'shopping, she looks AMAZING and the costume is very well executed, the 'shopping takes away from the touches of the fabrication IMHO.

You haven't noticed the fabric body suit she is wearing then?



I will say, they sharpened every edge of her to a razor sharp point.

I did, and in the other pictures it looks different even (necessity of the ridiculousness of character costume design, that or head to toe toupee tape). He face looks off in that picture and there's just no reason for it, she looks super close to the character on her own + makeup and the smoothing in photoshop makes it look weird.

The 'shadow' of her boot still has the highlight on it, LOL. Unless it's meant to be a reflection in the shiny tiles, in which case it's in the wrong position.

Well, it's a really good job. Ridiculous character design though.

Hi! Welcome to anime! Can I interest you in a 900 year old demi-god who literally gets off on people killing each other but looks like a pre-teen girl? (GATE gets really bad, you guys.)



\/\/\/It's also sort of kind of a pro-war propaganda show in which the Japanese SDF never does anything wrong ever, and there is literally no tension. It's impressively boring.

And let's never forget that "900 year-old demon/spirit/whatever that just so happens to look like they are a 12 year-old school girl" is the thinnest excuse to sexualize children in the world.


Even Fire Emblem does it with the dragon girl and it makes me want to puke.

Hey the dragon girl was in the last Fire Emblem game. The new one has a little girl dressed in a skimpy mage outfit that is actually super old and looks young due to a curse.

Its completely different :shepface:

Can seem contradictory, without an explanation as to intent and/or understanding?

This is a simple yes or no question, without any pretext and with no repercussions.

A ripple in the skin tone fabric =/= texture. I don't really see what the problem is, her body and the fabric edges are very clearly smoothed out to the point of losing any semblance of "realness."

Is that a wrought iron fence with skulls impaled on it? That alone is incredibly cool.

It's a character from an old Saturday Night Live sketch called "It's Pat." It was basically the weekly guest trying to figure out if Pat was a man or a woman.
