Final Aloy is much better. The concept art looks fine by itself, but it's too perfectly-idealized-Disney-princess for that kind of character. The final result is much, much more compelling.
This is way better. But i guess we have to aplaud them for making her "chubbier" and less good looking. She looks like a real person now.
Chubbier??? WTF?
For all the discussion on how the final design resembled the actress who played Yigritte in Game of a Thrones, it's somewhat amusing that these early designs have a lot in common with the book description of Yigritte in ASOFAI.
Not really? No pug nose, no crooked teeth (well we don't see her teeth at all but we can assume they'd be perfectly straight), and Aloy's final hair probably fits Ygritte's hairstyle more than the early princess-hair designs really.
It's really depressing seeing all the posts which prefer the original design of Ally.
We get an incredibly well designed, realistic, female main character whose a joy to play - and people prefer the anorexic, slightly sexualized, oh so blandly typical Disney Princess pictures here?
I don't see any sexualization to be honest, but I otherwise agree.
It's not remotely surprising though. A lot of people would rather have a waifu over a realistic woman. :\
People don't like ugly designs, what a surprise.
In this one. Removing that rat's nest of a mullet would go a long way in fixing it.
Ugly? Mullet?
Do you even know what words mean
Also it's kinda uncomfortable to be shaming skinny people :/ Just because someone is fit doesn't mean they have a disorder.
That's... not what's happening. Nobody is shaming skinny people, FFS. Just commenting than a hardened huntress/adventurer shouldn't have waif-like sticks for arms.
No doubt about it. Nobody is here saying Aloy has a bad design. It's... fine, not overly memorable or eye catching, and not in a sexual way. it's just... there.
What a preposterous statement. Aloy's design is loved by many, instantly recognizable, and already iconic in the industry. Not eye-catching? I mean... what the fuck do you even consider eye catching at this point?
"I have been jaded by years of female protagonists designed solely to get my cock going and can't fap to Aloy's merely averagely gorgeous face. They fucked up big time."
I cannot for the life of me comprehend the audacity of some people.
Hahah, for real
