This was what fans voted for:

This is the finalized design:

And this is how it got from the original idea stage to the final design:

Hmm, now her pants look unbuttoned. That's weird.

Still a fan of the overall design though.

I am really enjoying how they are giving us a look into the design process.

They removed her zipper sleeves and then they put it back?!

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH

Better to ride the Nomura wave before it dies out!

And yeah, stage 3 is the best one. It's the best compromise between Klonoa fangirl and stupid hair girl.
 
I still find the defeat hard to accept. Knowing that the design I wanted only lost because of Japanese fans makes it even harder to accept. :(

First they voted Vaan into Dissidia012, then they voted Zipper Sleeves into MML3. Japan... :/

Kinda makes you wonder how the actual good character designers in that country managed to stay afloat.

You will never rise from the ashes of your shame and humiliation ETC
 
The second revision looks the best minus the shoes, which look better on the third, but the final design still looks like an improvement over the original anyway.

Isn't there a notenoughzippers.jpg around here somewhere?

I don't see any problems here. Although I don't even know what these games are about.

Of course you don't, you're an octopus. >:(


Seriously though: Cowgirl > Battle Network girl > Tanned girl(who would actually look reasonable if they didn't put her in that dumb skirt) > *.
 
I saw people say Inafking's design came in last, but what did his design look like? I didn't keep track of this game, but I am curious to see how bad his design was.

Go to Deviantart.

Type 'Zero Rockman'.

Change the search features to Newest instead of MostPpopular (Because the Popular ones have a higher chance of being good.)

Ta-da.

That's how I feel too, the second one with the third one's shoes would be optimal.
 
They were all awfully uninspired anyway. New design looks better than old, but it doesn't redeem it.
 
Should have stopped at 2. Lost the floppy zipper sleeves and moved them to the legs as dusters, which are actually a potentially functional article of clothing.
 
Damn do those arm chaps look stupid. Matter of fact all the cowboy elements look stupid save the buffed-up neckerchief.

In the original design I didn't even realize futuristic cowgirl was what he was shooting for. It's pretty clear in the finalized one, and it just looks terrible.

The only other good thing about the redesign is the shorter hair.
 
This design would be like a hundred times better if it didn't have those fucking zipper sleeves.

Yoshikawa's design should have won.
