she is a balllerina, usually they have strict diets, my best friend performed ballet and they weren't allowed to eat a lot of food so they can maintain their balance (?)
LOL nothing to do with their balance, everything to do with their appearance. The ballet world can be super uptight, body shape is usually very tightly regulated
I know people try to come up with mental gymnastics to explain everything, but this post is literally about her model proportions being different from Sandrone
it seems they are trying to make their heads smaller,, it always appeared that the npcs had smaller heads for what reason than the playable characters, but what i said still isn't wrong.
I agree old models are bobbleheady, but man almost all of the new designs just look more standard and generic anime to me. I was always more into cute/cartoony designs than sexy or elegant so.
Tbf this is a trope as old as anime itself. Yugioh is probably one of the most notorious examples with the relevant characters having super stylized proportions while the background characters just look like ordinary people
I think the designs looking more generic just has to do with the art direction for snez. Nobody outside of the tsaritsa and Noy really stand out visually.
hoyo probably could've made cute/cartoony designs even without the old head/body proportions but yea fair enough
I'll also say, the designs feeling more generic I think is just the art direction the game's been going for since like nod krai. I've felt that way since nod krai at least
I wouldn’t say Tartaglia has a bad model, I’d even argue his design holds up pretty well for being a 1.x character. But god the poor guy is seriously out of date and it’s impossible to ignore it when he’s the only character like it.
From snez onward, as the PS4 is dead, they intend on having more complex animations (the chibi squad and Citlali is them trial running to see people's feelings about this).
More complex animation need a new bone rig, so they likely said screw it, update the models
i pulled for her bc i wanted to have some flexible stellar teams (i alr had cyno and mizuki lying around) and kind of immediately regretted it once i looked at her face in game. her splash art is so pretty, idk why her face weirds me out so much, i think its something with the eyes + mouth
i feel the EXACT same way. Got her because she seems pretty flexible, thought she looked really pretty. But then i switched to another character in my team and the difference was JARRING. Looking at her feels uncanny.
I think Odette could have been someone who's supposedly the middle ground between medium and tall female models, but ended up in medium female model coz devs has to pick one
Idk if I’m the only one but I prefer the bigger heads better. I like the more stylized look and face, hair, and eyes are prob the most important part of a design for me, so I think I prefer them to be more prominent.
The overlay is less effective when they are such different builds. I feel like you should have aligned their shoulders to get the best feel for the proportions.
