I guess I should have mentioned that this isn't a global phenomenon. A lot of Japanese artists have become "famous" over the years, mostly I think because they've stayed employed at a single developer long enough to have forged something of an identity in their work on a series (whereas increasing numbers of Western…

Well that explains this...

Thank god other people noticed. God Kotaku's been pissing me off lately.

The true original!

The games I grew up in were diverse without being back-patting about it. It's important to have a wide array of cool characters from all around the world to choose from. But it shouldn't feel force. Series like Street Fighter and Tekken achieved this in a stylish manner.

If anything, games today feel less diverse with…

GAMMON WILL SAVE US!

I can vouch that those boobs are not 100% correct. I was trying to give them a heavy, dimensional look. I think the real problem is that I made the cleavage too pronounced for how much they are sagging!

I'm at best very very amateur when it comes to art, but I know good analysis when I see one. Bloody ridiculous slam dunk.

It's a shame my grammar is BALLS, but I'm glad you think so! :D

That was amazing.

Not to fault you for fun, but I can't let that slide, ha. As an artist myself, they were definitely done by the same artist.

The same rendering technique, color sensibility, and value range was used across each illustration. They also appear (not 100% certain) to be done at the same scale, based on the consistent…

Well...

almost half of the top 20 are characters from FF6

I'm black, I have several friends who played this game who are also black, we saw nothing offensive in this. I don't think they were comparing his hair to a birds nest. There is a long running trope of the afro that holds like everything inside it or whatever. That's how I saw it. Actually one of the biggest stars in…
