Where's All The Character-Design Protesters For This One?

[Foolery]

Honestly, the large majority of people complaining about these kind of things really don't get it. Drawing half-naked women with curves is very common practice for a lot of artists.
Go pick up an issue of Heavy Metal, and you'll see what I mean, considering the magazine is currently run by Kevin Eastman who co-created Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I'm going to guess the reason why nobody is throwing nearly as much as a fit about the latter witch design is because sorceress's entire physic he relies heavily on well animated knockers that consistently get in your face. That's not to mention the 'other' promotional art revolving around the magic user that put heavy emphasis on her sex appeal. Whereas the other one, yeah she's on the skimpy side, but her posture, attitude, and pose don't really draw attention to those aspects.

It's all about how you present the character.

. Artists have been drawing naked ladies (and men) for years and years, but they never got attacked for it? Know why? Because they did it respectfully. That's literally it. If you draw nasty tentacle porn or whatever then YEAH people are going to call it out. If you draw the body with respect though, without the fetishization aspect, everything is just groovy.

This.

This right here is the golden answer.

Look back at art history and look at the nudes that were drawn.
The artists who drew those nudes did so with utmost respect and adoration of the body of the model. Sure some artists exaggerated, but they never exaggerated her parts for his own sexual pleasure. It was often times simply the color, or how they go about showing the proportionate form of the model. It's this reason why nudes of ancient art are allowed in public spaces, but nudes of today's are are not.

Even when it's supposed to be sexual, it still conformed to respect of the nude. The most they would do was have slight suggestive expressions and gestures, but the focus is still on the modeling, painting, composition, and overall form of the model and the picture.

The nudes of the older times were all about appreciating the beauty of the human form.


The nudes of today are all about arousing the audience and making the body as sexual as possible.
Today the only time where people draw the nude out of genuine respect for the form of the drawing are professional painters/illustrators and those studying the figure. That's it.

Everywhere else it's simply a wankfest and the reaction of the audience and how they perceive it shows.

I think its mostly like because with the sorceress, the only out of place part was her oversized bosoms, the rest is either ok, normal, not too outrageous. With that JRPG girl, the design is so silly that the complaining about skimpy outfits or oversized bosoms doesn't come first to mind. With the dinner table for a hat. Hair that looks like it may have more mass than the rest of her body. You really think skimpy outfits are the only crazy thing about it?

So it may be due to suspension of disbelief rather than big bosoms. That or the entire game is even weirder.
