New character design

 First off, if you prefer voting in a poll there's one right here: https://www.kassoon.com/content/for...c.php?f=4&t=583 

 Thank you to everyone that gave feedback on the character appearance.  We're pretty much operating in the dark here, so critical feedback is  crucial to keep us on track and ensure we're making the kind of game you  want to play. When you're looking at a character or feature or anything  every day you kind of become blind to its flaws so I'm always  incredibly grateful to anyone that takes the time to offer an outside  perspective. You're not being mean! You're actually being very generous  and helpful.
 

Anyway, the general feedback on the old character designs is they were  stuck in the uncanny valley between cartoony and realistic. While there  were a lot of people in both camp realism and camp cartoony, realism  seemed more popular and I tended to agree. As the quality of the engine  and lighting improved, having very cartoonish characters next to  detailed assets looked off and inconsistent.
 

My hope is to get more realistically proportioned characters while still  retaining their own aesthetic. To that end the clothing will also be  changing along with the models, getting rid of some of the more generic  t-shirts/jeans and only having the more intricate steampunk costumes to  fit into the world's aesthetic.
 

Anyway, all that is still being worked on. What I DO have to show and  receive feedback on is the completed woman model, untextured. I figure  there's no reason to continue work on the rigging, animating, texturing,  costume design, and male model if we've completely missed the mark at  this point. So these are untextured pictures.
 

Please note: This is the default appearance without any adjustments.  You'll be able to customize things like shape of the face, body size,  weight, etc. You won't be losing any body types, you'll be gaining more.
