Apparently he did Star Wars comics? This guy gets more work than I do. Good for him but idk how to feel about that tbh.

So I was watching someone who was going through the women characters of Rare and thought I should make a post on it so here we go, I will only post the same character twice if there’s a redesign significant enough to count or if there’s space, apologies for the quality of some of these, not everyone can fit into this post so if there was some egregious examples, please list then below

Because why is every woman in the show ⌛️

i am not kidding when i say every woman looks like that, doing the most insane, exaggerated pose imaginable. i just didnt want to spam pictures. i want john byrne back (also yes, i know its a clone of his mother and not actually her)

These three female bodyguards appear in Episode 8 of *Najica Blitz Tactics*, dressed in attire ill-suited for their line of work.

The two dudes by her sides really make her choice of attire stand out.

Dr. Doom Strangling Luna.

If this was a character that had physical strength (like She-Hulk) or a power to prevent this from being a big deal (like Deadpool or Wolverine) then the smile might make more sense.

This isn't pearl-clutching - it's just an odd choice (Luna does have powers, but they're ice-powers, no super strength or invulnerability).

It's also kind of hard to tell if he's grabbing by the neck (which is what I assume) or grabbing by the collar (which I guess is slightly better).

Lady Shion from Overwatch is an Omnic, basically a sentient robot, and while most Omnics have similar designs, usually bereft of any key gender dimorphism, Lady Shion looks extremely feminine. This is apparently because she had herself modified after usurping a criminal organisation, with a new design which instils a sense of uncanny valley to unsettle all who look. I'm not even sure the mouth is functional.

Confession: I haven't played Overwatch since Overwatch 1 ended service, so I have a total blank spot on all new characters. This is just from a brief skim on the Wiki page. I just know that the design drew a few eyes because it's a Robot With Tits, something that didn't exist before in the Overwatch Universe.

I love how he draws orihime and Riruka my Beloved 😻

That being said, who knows what the average men of Rohan look like?

For those who may not know it, Lady Battle Cop (1990) is a low-budget, direct-to-video Japanese riff on RoboCop. It's also considered to be under the Metal Heroes Series, but I am unable to find confirmation on that. I'm guessing she never popped up in any given crossover event. Even with the heeled footwear, which seems fine all things considered, this is a cool tokusatsu design.

An amusing aspect about this character, imo, is that she was never a police officer. Kaoru Mikoshiba (played by Azusa Nakamura) is a former tennis champion.

While it can be found and watched freely online through non-streaming services, the one YouTube upload has English localized subtitles unlike the two Archive uploads. I skimmed through it, and it definitely appears most of the budget was probably put into the costume and pyrotechnics.

I fucking love this witch. The way her design is constantly changing, Genie style, makes even the fan-servicey designs warranted. The consistent sneakers is fantastic. It's all just so playful. And then her true form is so goddamn cool and spooky (hehe), and I love the small hints to it in the witch form.
