Not what but who. Daw is apparently the self insert of the lead character designer. It's hard to feedback your own boss that he needs to put that pizza down and run a few blocks.
@@solarydaysmoney, they’re cheapening out the experienced seniors for inexperienced juniors with no guidance for low cost thus paying them less which should’ve been illegal to begin with
Normally to save actual money (by making a quality product that makes you a lot of money) you pair junior artists with senior vet artists so they learn the trade and you have a steady flow of expert workers, but Sony cut their seniors expecting their project to make mucho dollars no matter what. On top of that they used DEI hires who steamrolled over their design team for politics and had a hugely bad toxic anti-criticism positivity culture. And cause of this, they list 400$ million dollars.
I can't believe Daw was supposed to be a medic... His design screams "Cold". Like he's got ice related powers. I thought he was a zoner using ice or anything super cold to control the battlefield. If he was supposed to be a freeze type of character, honestly his design wouldn't be that bad. But knowing he's supposed to be a medic... Nothing about him screams "Medicine".
Yeah that’s the first thing I thought too. He has all winter gear with a blue winter jacket. I thought his weight would be like he’s a bulky Eskimo or something. But he’s a medic ? Absolutely bizarre character design. These devs were absolutely clueless.
@@ReactandDraw Although I don't get why you had to change their body types as you did. I mean you said you bought the overwatch art book and you're telling me you couldn't find a way to make a big girl look good or a fat person look good. Which Bible way I've seen different doctors are different body shapes sure they're not overweight but there are some fat ones out there
MORE MONEY ON TOP OF THE 400M?!?!! Im crying this cant be real 😭 Also thank you for the shoutout! The doctor-esque cape is a nice touch and I really liked how you bulked up Emari's armour compared to the sketch
Thanks Bri!!! And you're quite welcome. Yea I wanted to give her shoulder pads a more Knight feel and the forearms kinda Gauntlet like. And yes, more money on top of 400 mil is insane. Lol
People like looking at pretty characters.. Not characters who look like people you see at your local Walmart. It’s called ESCAPISM and FANTASY.. How is this such a difficult topic for them to grasp?? 🤦♂️
I think the devs thought that they where doing something for the people who suffer discrimination or bVllying for diferent reasons (like race, weight, diferent sexual orientations, etc). As a person who suffered bullying through my teenager years, i wouldn't want to play something like this: is like the devs saying "wow, look, you play videogames and you suffer bullying, here you had this characters which look patetic like you". Nah. I played Final Fantasy X during that time. P.d: sorry for my bad english, is not my native language.
You all recall the Michael fassbender meme where it goes I want perfection and it keeps going on until it lands on what he wants? I believe that is what happened to concord. They had cool designs and was asked to change it multiple times. And that is time and money right there
Somebody need to make those two characters into side scroller shooter like Contra. I'd buy in heart beat because based on the presentation, It emanates awesomeness. Its pretty odd the legacy of Concord gives a broader view on 101 how to make interesting character design.
"I can't tell if she is overweight or Triple H." laughing like crazy over here because I see exactly what you mean by that. I was imagining who ever designed her taking Roadhog from Overwatch and saying "What would Roadhog look like if he started working out."
By now we should have like more Concord characters redesigns than its peak concurrent player count. Crazy how every single one of them is objectively better than their original design.
Some of these character designs somehow manage to be even more generic than the originals. How do you take Emari, who is like a 10 foot, huge woman and turn her into an average size lady who can somehow carry a huge gattling gun one handed.
6:42 You know if the game hadn't turned out like the dumpfire that it was and it would have been decent It would have been neat to have the developers cheering the game in the credits. But how Concord came out is more of a Yikes that aged like milk
If you put crabs in a bucket you don’t have to worry about putting a lid on because each crab will pull the other down trying to escape. The WNBA could learn from this.
Firewalk and Sony do have _something_ for their time and money. They no doubt have some sort of home-grown engine, and a lot of in-house tools that can be used to make games, and their programmers and level designers have experience. Still they definitely don't have 200million dollars worth of something. An engine and toolset isn't nothing... I don't know what the dollar tag is, but maybe up to say, 10million?
"model not accepted. The characters are too hot and sexualized. People don't want pretty cool characters. They want ugly(not sexual) , fat( I mean heavy) or more realistic characters that actually give some representation. What a bigot" I wouldn't be surprised if this is how they think. (the concord's devs)
0:43 Extremely late. But. This character I couldn't be bother to learn the name of. Has a literal Red Flag in their woke design. It's like some dev out there. Was trying to secretly tell us something.
For the tank girl i actually dont hate her og design. I like that she looks like a super soldier in a towering power armor. There's changes I'll definitely make. Like changing or removing the flag. Changing up tbe color scheme. That green is a bit too bright for my liking & her lipstick color doesn't really fit. I would've just covered her head with a helmet. Like most of the female Brotherhood of Steel Paladins in Fallout 4. While the redesign does have armor up top her lower half is exposed. Some bullets or shrapnel to her thighs & her role as a tank is over. For Daw i would've tolerated his fit IF the colors wasn't trash. His whole thing is a fat guy with a gun. I'm all for having a diverse set of characters IF you can make them look cool & interesting. Like Bob from Tekken. He's fat but his design is still cool. The redesign strays too far away from the fat aspect & doesn't resemble Daw at all
The Red Cross is going to send you a Cease & Desist for using their logo on your art 💀 Tbf slapping a (red) cross on a “medic” character is pretty lazy design. I vibe with the white and soft blue / green color scheme to indicate that the character is a healer. Leaning more into the gritty / militarized direction, similar to the trauma team faction from the Cyberpunk universe, would be absolutely peak. Pretty much just adding a featureless white helmet (kinda like a stormtrooper) and a tactical chest rig / armor would elevate the redesign.
Nah. AI would still make them hot. Only a mind rotted human steeped in DEI can come up with shit so confusingly unappealing. This was pure human ret@rdation at its finest.
@@baalfgames5318 and the original ‘designs’ look like AI prompts, so yes the generic Korean rpg copypaste looking redesigns still look better. If you want a hideous looking character, go play a game with a character creator, most normal people want to play an attractive character when presets are the only option. Why are you so defensive over this game lmao, are you one of those 500lb “body positivity” sows? After taking a peek at your page, of course you are a furry with a fat fetish. Now it all makes sense
Did nothing but make them wear tight fitting clothes, and up the $ex appeal. I was expecting something that would actually make them look better, like an actual redesign. Literally just made them less fat/'athletic'. If they don't like seeing fat people, good for them 🙄. Shouldn't pretend like they have actual concerns tho. Weird AF.
it would be redesigh if you kept the body type the real skill is to make the original look good not make a totaly diffrent character you just draw a generic anime character that would not fit in the game universe
They could have just done a giveaway contest for 1m to 400 people and they would have gotten more for their money in customer good will than throwing it at this DEIsaster.
I believe game developer had every skill and knowledge to design a character, but since they are woke, they don't understand which one called good or bad, same like they don't understand which one a Man or Woman😂😂 It's just like their natural😂😂
They put agenda over quality - that's the bottom line. Your line drawings are better than the fully rendered models they have. I'd rather play as the crude sketch that you quickly created on the fly.
Games need to stop trying to pander to black people, LGBT people, bully victims, etcetera, and pander exclusively to straight white racist, sexist, bigotted men who get everything they want.
Your emari redesign is top shelf. The original was so many levels of wrong it's hilarious. Having it move like a male broke immersion on top of uncanny valley. The next step is to have your changes animated. Characters designed properly is enhanced by correct movement. I do feel a battle rifle with grenade launcher makes more sense than a large rotary cannon. Still excellent work.
@pastelcatnip am from a family that did classic oriental Theatre. A backroom full of counter gender players is not an unknown experience. I also did near a decade of structural and industrial design, trained literal xray vision to see where the bones and volume of something is 'wrong'. Emari in Concord is very wrong mechanically. I've seen men play effeminate roles and pull it off fabulously. The motion capture for all the Concord characters are male.
Toxic positivity? So basically Firewalk Studios was full of yes-men, rather than actual people who could truly speak their minds about Concord's development. Honestly the final designs they went with look more like rough drafts rather than passionate, fleshed-out designs with purpose (that being to get customers hyped and invested for the game). Emari looks like what would happen if you used AI to create a fat, frumpy, genderswapped Doomguy. I'm sure a lot of people have mentioned this, but your redesigns look way better than the original versions!

I would never have been able to tell that Daw was supposed to be a medic character.
Yea I don’t even know what they were trying to portray.
I thought Daw was going to be some kind of engineer tank, laying down defenses like barriers and turrets.
I seriously thought Daw was a women to be honest😂
@@drez2486 same

All redesigns by others is better than official Concord themselves. Too much Toxic Positivity, which is ruining too many games.

you should get hired in an indie game company, a game with your art would looks fantastic!
Thanks!!! That would pretty cool if it happened tbh
Amari redesign was amazing, even the rough sketch immediately had more personality than the original design.
I love the "belt-croe" aesthetic you went for in your DAW redesign.
Listening to your audience about any issue could save the whole franchise. If you just *listen.*
But but but the audience is racist!
I did like the video and subscribed. Those drawings are dope.

Dude those look so much better.

I wish you keep her bulky army since i like bulky armor it shows that they aren’t playing
Damn, you made Daw look amazing.
Thanks!!!
Damn! Your redesigns are top tier, and WAY much better!! And sexier too, whoowee some of those ladies!!!!
I think they're beyond redemption, best thing would be to just print them on toilet paper, I'll gladly buy a year-round supply
the game with the chars that are redesigned i insta buy, they look dope
Your Designs are 👌👌
Thanks! I appreciate it
The voice actor for Emari who it looks like they based the design after is a big back...
I love your Daw design.

100x better👏
I've never played the game but I thought that medic character was a woman
Same here. I didn't realize until his trailer and pronouns were listed lol
For the most part, modern devs hate attractive characters. They want everything to be as ugly as they are, both internally and externally.
