I'm not saying they need to look average - but some visual definition besides "conventionally attractive" would be nice! I find the designs creepy because they always fit this mold that most anime characters also fit (replace the eyes and hair and voila! new character).
Wait, someone liking a design more than other does not mean they are attracted to said design.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of that look. Moreover, it makes little sense on the surface why presumably human designers would create a "battle" robot with such eyes, outside of "let's cuttify her". It's basically this:Having Disney-like cartoon proportions as an art style is fine, but when you translate that to a 'realistic' setting you get a truly odd 'uncanny valley' effect like the (deliberate) effect in the upcoming Battle Angel Alita film.
Either you'd have to change Horizon's art style to cartoony, or that concept art would change again in a realistic setting I think.
That is bullshit and just shows your ignorance on illustration and art.

Artist use certain proportions because they tend to be really appealing, Tracy Butler explains this well kind in one of her art tutorials.
Your proof on her "ignorance" uses the words "baby like facial proportions" - why is the only way to make attractive cartoon female characters, it to make them look like a child i.e "baby like"? That's creepy.That is bullshit and just shows your ignorance on illustration and art.

You realise this 'stylisation' didn't even prevent people fetishising the animals, so what hope do the "baby-like" girls have?That is bullshit and just shows your ignorance on illustration and art.

Also could be that bigger eyes mean more expressive eyes and thus they communicate emotions better. I mean if this is still about aloy it makes no sense sure. I'm just saying that appeal and sex appeal can be different things.
There's also a few posts in there about characters that are clearly children.
There are plenty of reasons not to go with that concept, for one it looks too similar to other Female leads.
Youre missing the point. What you are suppose to take away from that is that certain proportions tend to be appealing, Tracy juat uses the word baby like, but it can attributed to a wide range of characters, also larger eyes tend to be more expressive.
If that was the true purpose, it would happen equally with male characters. Yet it doesn't.
I find this very strange. Like yeah, really strange.
See, I'm the kind of person who loves games like LSD and Proteus. So aesthetics matter a lot to me, but mostly in that they're unconventional or interesting in some way that's actually different and not just another of the same genre I played when I was a teenager. I'm tired of sequels and the same designs over and over and over and over... it has been decades of the same boring design, in so many ways. It's why games like VA-11 HALL-A and Papers, Please actually excite me, while I find games people claim as a revelation, like Undertale, just make me roll my eyes (or even Dark Souls, if you played King's Field or Shadow Tower Abyss).
I think those are some pretty big eyes.
I looked up some articles on it, this one seemed pretty interesting.
There already was. It was (very badly) censored though so I guess it was just barely considered SFW.
So.... are we asuming that petite's do not exist? or that overall disney characters have bigger heads? Also what about Pocahontas, Jane, Belle?
That still applies for sexually. Big eyes are seen as more attractive. Now you can disagree with that beauty norm, but to say that it is primarily because of fetishizing little girls, I want to see sources.
What! Loish is a god tier artist, and since when is being compared to Disney a bad thing? Most artist wish they were compared to Disney.
Besides that though, I dont think that Aloy concept art would fit without changing the look of the other characters.
That's main thing that gets me about Bayonetta's design. She's some 11 heads tall, and while her regular costumes disguise how bizarre she looks somewhat, the Nintendo costumes make her look completely deformed.
How does that make you difference form a sexist or racist?
Wait a second, how is the Aloy concept art a child? That is just Loish artstyle, she usually draws with more Glen Keane/ Disney style proportions.
I note that you do not have the respective female characters in the pictures for comparisons.I think those are some pretty big eyes.
Well I meant for Deviantart, though she overall a really great illustrator, but thank you for being condescending, that dosent make you look like an asshole at all.
Those are not inherently for children, those can be found on young women of any age. Like are you seriously saying that big eyes, round faces, and a small nose are exclusive to young kids, really. Im not being obtuse, you just lack a compelling argument.
I mean, I might have more to criticize but they are just your preferences after all. Just stating my reaction to those preferences.
Not all anime does it and not all anime fans are attracted to underage girls. Yes you are looking at a big population and assuming the worst of them how is that the right thing to do?
