Kerrigan's Look

[Rezildur]

The modeler at Blizzard really needs to take a lesson from the guys that do the females for Soul Calibur. (edit: Just look at the faces. Their breasts are over the top and out of control lol)

I mean...huh???

NOT to mention when they have this drawing to work off, and her rendered model does not resemble it at ALL: http://elydis.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/kerrigan.jpg

Not really a fan of those anime pics you posted. I mean the proportions are kind of ridiculous.

Also Kerrigan still has her zerg dreads, so of course she's not going to look exactly like back when she had red hair.

I'm more concerned about why shes now mulatto. Must have gotten one hell of a tan on Char.

Also, the anime you posted, Rez, looks like poo. SC2 requires more "reality" than your giant fantasy gazongas.

I don't think huge breasted Kerrigan in bikini would be more appropriate leader of the swarm, but hey Raynor can look like this and we have a wholly new game:

Don't Hassel the Hoff.

It does but I'm not seeing a lot of it...



I'd take giga boobs before tree trunk legs any day!

What about this instead? If they're gonna go African American Kerrigan, might as well do it right!

Yeah seriously, again I'd like to reiterate that I firmly believe nobody at Blizzard has really seen a sexy woman in person or that they fired their expert in female forms animator.

Okay so clearly neither of you read my post at all when I specified "DO NOT LOOK AT THEIR BODIES" . Of course they are ridiculous and out of proportion and that's not what I am referring to here. Kerrigan's body looks fine. It's her face that I have a problem with.

1. It's not distinctive at all. It doesn't need to be attractive, she isn't supposed to be beautiful, but it needs to look distinctive.

2. It needs to fit her voice. Kerrigan's face right now looks almost infantile, and that does not match up with Tricia Helfer's voice which is rather deep and powerful. Her cheeks and nose are too round. She should look harder, more angular.

3. She should have at least some semblance of that cartoon drawing of her. (Like you pointed out Demo... she went from a pale white chick to Michelle Obama, between the skin tone change and the strange collagen-filled lips)

Agreed Sandwich. Not what Kerrigan should look like, but an example of an attractive female video game character.

Right Gradius...but her bone structure shouldn't have changed. The zerg transformation added onto her human form-- ie, dreads replaced, hair, carapace covered skin, the bone-wings grew, but nothing about her original bone structure was altered (unless, I can't remember whether or not she grew taller?).

Her bone structure WAS altered. Her feet were specifically altered, and her back had to be, too, to support her new taller, high-heeled shape.

Since when does a person's voice need to match their outward appearance? The two features are completely unrelated. To prove my point I present to you these two songs:
