    Or, all joking aside, like a piece of X-men themed child-pr0n from some pedo's deviantart page. I'm honestly aghast this made it through the alleged Marvel Licensing approvals process.
    This is pretty much the direct result of the comic art being very minimalist and our art being fairly realistic. It's pretty on, given that.
    That's kind of what I figured, given comparisons to comic art for this version of Bobby. Consider the odd proportions for Squirrel Girl's face, which comes from blending a very cartoonish comic appearance with the smother, 3d-ish models in the game.

    I wonder if it wouldn't be better in these cases for D3 to expand the range of in-game art styles a bit, but that runs the risk of seeming haphazard and inconsistent.

    Or just adapt versions of characters that mesh well with the MPQ art style. Bobby has more than enough different looks in the archives.

    (Squirrel Girl...yeah, she was never going to look "normal." If you don't like Henderson's version, consider Googling "Steve Ditko Squirrel Girl.")

    Understood... but Ice, nobody's holding a gun to your head (I assume) and demanding that the artwork be realistic all the time. I mean, we wouldn't want this sort of thing, would we? icon_e_smile.gif

    Sure, but then you'd also eventually end up with

    Worth it, I think.

    Can someone from Demiurge delete Björk from Jae's music collection?

    If ever there was a reason to not be modding, I think we found it.
