Character Design Debate; Beauty or Lust?

[BarryMcCociner]

Okay. Well at least this one has some meaty discussion value to it.

That said, I'm not quite on board with your premise. Does beauty not frequently inspire lust? Is that which inspires lust not usually beautiful?

As for your "average/regular/reality" examples, they all look like very pretty characters to me. I mean, Lux, seriously? I can see someone not being into Taliyah and her majestic nose, but Lux is about as mainstream pretty as they come.

What this guy said. Lust can be inspired by facial features that suggest youth and health. You don't even need to see below the neck, trust me I've done it.
