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:

 

[Regulus Tera]

She looked cuter with Klonoa hair.

 

[Aeris130]

The old hair made her look like a gen IV pokemon, but it still looked better.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I'm kind of new to the MML universe, but why does she look like a Sonic character instead of a robot?

 

[ultron87]

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.

 

[Nishastra]

Hey, the goggles actually look like they could fit over her eyes now.

 

[jett]

Better, but still doesn't compare to american indian girl.

 

[Pureauthor]

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

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH

 

[duckroll]

Better, but still doesn't compare to american indian girl.

You and I are brothers. Blood brothers to the end.

Trigger's shitty friends.

 

[Cowie]

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

I can't stop seeing step 3 as the best one, at least facially.

 

[Regulus Tera]

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.

 

[jarosh]

it's so bad :lol

i think only inafune's was worse

 

[vall03]

white scarf? oh well...

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Better to ride the Nomura wave before it dies out!

Even Nomura isn't riding that wave anymore.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Even Nomura isn't riding that wave anymore.

Only because he hasn't started work on KHIII yet.

 

[Totakeke]

Move white scarf to cover mouth and nose.

Now she's a ninja! Fixes everything.

 

[Augemitbutter]

nothing special.

 

[jett]

You and I are brothers. Blood brothers to the end.

[Defuser]

VersusXIII will show you!!!

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Oh god, don't make me think of KH2 Sora.

Why did they change his design? D:

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

The final design is slightly better, though I still prefer the Suetsugu design.

 

[Pureauthor]

Oh god, don't make me think of KH2 Sora.

Why did they change his design? D:

The reasons involve time travel, light, darkness, and mammaries.

Memories. I meant to say memories.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

HAHA ZIPPER SLEEVES!

 

[duckroll]

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... :/

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Good.

It's a crap design, but at least it's now a crap design that isn't trying to be Klonoa.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

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

 

[Dever]

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

 

[VAIL]

Another vote for #3

 

[jj984jj]

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?

 

[John Harker]

did she actually get.... whiter?

 

[Laguna]

The important thing is how the final 3D modell will look like.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

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) > *.

 

[Cow Mengde]

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.

 

[ultron87]

Looks very slightly more tan to me.

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.

[Sword Familiar]

They were all awfully uninspired anyway. New design looks better than old, but it doesn't redeem it.

 

[Shig]

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.

 

[Dali]

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.

 

[Aokage]

There is no justice. Tiger Lily and Nina were so much better.

 

[bon]

Flower sleeves look slightly less stupid than flame sleeves.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Girl with the hood and the goggles should've won.

 

[MomoPufflet]

Less chat more yellow scarf

 

[7Th]

This design would be like a hundred times better if it didn't have those fucking zipper sleeves.

Spoiler

Yoshikawa's design should have won.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Unbuckled shorts, unzipped zipper sleeves. Sometimes I just don't get these things.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Curse you Japan!
