Male model

[chaos.satyr]

What is wrong with the lats and traps on the male model? And proportions in generally on the male model?

Only the female model has regular proportions...

Why is the male so exaggerated? Also, the lats are bulgy in a way that are very unnatural. Lats never bulge that far in a posterior direction and the shape of them is even wrong. It is like the back is only lats and the space where the spine sits.

I get the desire to have the character be monsterous but why is the female regularly proportioned (well the hips are questionable) and the male way out of wack?

My vamp is purple with orange glowy eyes.

How is that relevant in relation to body proportions?

Clearly an Artstyle decision. I think it looks good and is very good for this setting

You've never seen an actual male vampire, have you?

I think you are missing the point. Why make the female model regularly proportioned but the male one way different?

The game seems to be using a western cartoon aesthetic. Look at something like a Disney animated movie and you will see similar exaggerated and often comical proportions on male characters while the female characters are generally more "human" looking, though with some exaggeration in their waist and "assets." The male vampires are certainly a... style... the other male NPCs fill in the more common bulky and lanky looking forms, while the female NPCs again all look pretty similar.

It is but I disagree. Make both the male and female models monstrous if that is what you are going for. Or allow for some customization that isn't gender specific.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the way they designed the male. It looks off. Hope they re-work it.

No, you are missing the point.
Actual female vampires are proportionally similar to your average non-vampiric human female.
Actual male vampire are, well, they're ummm... unusual.

I would certainly prefer it if there was some body type customization not tied specifically to gender, allow us to make our male vampires more slender, taller, or shorter, or make our female vampires look more muscular. Like, gods know when I first learned this game was a thing, I was hoping to make a giant lesbian vampiress like Striga from the Castlevania anime.

The male models are really horrible, also their movement is very... I don't know what word to use so as not to offend anyone but it definitely doesn't look masculine at all

So you don't see the sexism that is occurring here?

Yes this... although not sure how orientation relates to body proportions. Customization would be nice.

I would say the male vampire looks like that because they overpower their prey like a monster, and the female ones persuade/charm them. Succubus style.

Orientation's honestly not related at all, it was just an extra detail I tacked on for funsies. But yeah, nice to see someone who agrees overall. xD
