Quiet redesign

SO. Because I got quite a few comments telling me how dumb I am for not thinking that Kojima's design was the best thing ever done, let me update my comment. The original one will be down at the bottom, unedited.


The original design on the left is a lazy, sexist and boring design job, and every possible explanation that was given for it (after I did this) is major bullshit.
Kojima was in all probability going for a controversial character, and later announcement that would have people talking about his new game. And of course it worked. I deeply regret that an apparent otherwise great game developer did such a poor job on an otherwise good character.

This is a fictional. Naked. Lady. For anybody telling me or themselves that something else than MASSIVE FANSERVICE is the reason for her nakedness, you are lying to yourselves and you know it. I mean, she even has figurines with soft bouncing boobs you can fondle, how great is that?

If such a weird condition exists (woohoo, that parasite can somehow detect her speaking English and make her self-destruct? That's quite high-tech) in that world, there would have been ways to be safe and covered anyway. Be it new types of fabric (I mean, we've already invented swimsuits that mimic sharkskin, invented self-cooling fabric, found out how to keep humans alive in space or even make them invisible) or just using already existing methods (light fabric? large clothes? NOT VACUUM-SEALED CATSUITS?)
He might have as well been honest and put her out there naked, if being covered put her in deadly danger of suffocating or being discovered.



tl;dr : This is a BORING, LAZY and SEXIST piece of shit design done for fanservice and merchandising purposes destined to 15 year old boys.



Original comment :
Left is the original character design "Quiet" by Hideo Kojima, right is my redesign. So, a while back I stumbled over the character Quiet from Metal Gear V. The first time I saw her and the whole story about Kojima trying to justify his design with ever shittier arguments, I just got really really sad. Sad and angry actually. I think I can say without bragging too much that even with my lack of knowledge concerning army stuff and outfits, I did a better job than Kojima on this one. This can’t even be considered a redraw. It’s like starting a dress-up game from scratch.
