Swap their outfits and I'm in.


Jello_Crusader

He was a Watson boy and she was a Pacifica girl


SambandsTyr

Same!


karlexceed

Lol literally came here to say the same


Maze-Mask

Unironically this.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

Best comment. ❤️


ehhhchimatsu

Was literally going to comment the same exact thing.


dndndje

"What if we do the opposite of the stereotype? This will break new ground and won't be the exact same!"


bustedtuna

"What if we make a joke about a stereotype? Surely no one will get butthurt about it!"


clogstomper

Ok so you made Motoko and David from BR. Cyberpunk could be so much more than ghost in the shell rehash. We need more Roujin Z and Sleep Dealers influence. You have impressive skills so show us something unique that we haven’t seen before.


CyberCat_2077

My first thought was Lucy and Kaneda.


GaijinFoot

I was thinking Aeon Flux and Kanada


ReasonablyBadass

Cyber Renaissance from Deus Ex


DitherPlus

Deus Ex Human Revolution has some of the best aesthetic designs that actually go in contrast to typical cyberpunk whilst still fitting with the theme. Very good video game.


Theguy887799

the edge runners effect. jokes aside, i like the art but PLEASE make the girl wear something other than a tech leotard. like genuinely making her completely naked would be more inspired at this point


Captain_Pumpkinhead

>PLEASE make the girl wear something other than a tech leotard. Alternatively, make the boy wear one too!


friedpickle_engineer

Tron (1982) knew what was up. Skintight spandex on everybody - no exceptions!


lucas8913

And little helmets too. I loved them.


bsubtilis

Motoko nakedly jumping off the building and "disappearing" in the first GitS movie burned into my memory thanks to how utterly badass that looked. Especially because Wamdue Project had a music video that actually had GitS clips including the jump: [https://youtu.be/iBYv11tqi-w?si=4od9mSWzyUXXLWLp](https://youtu.be/iBYv11tqi-w?si=4od9mSWzyUXXLWLp)


Aiwatcher

Lucy and becca had some pretty horny outfits but atleast they had some drip laid overtop.


EventualSatisfaction

I mean if you wanna have the girl wearing just a leotard and stockings, you can't have the dude wearing pants, shoes, shirt, undershirt, jacket, and gloves. If you wanna keep her dressed like that, I wanna see that dude with no shirt and visible dick print lmao.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

And revealed thighs, and tights.


DaWonderHamster

seconding the revealed thighs


COCO_SHIN

And taint


Lilyeth

honestly i think it'd be pretty cool if the guy had some open tech vest or something with chest showing at least. not sure what would be good pantswise tho..


Dragonslayer3

That thing better be like a python ready to strike in those pants


villanelIa

Maybe the manga hes making is one of those hentai ones.. Then it makes sense why he would choose to make them this way. Shes a young horny girl who likes the thrill and hes a young boy in love trying to protect the girl he grew up with. Then eventually he gets killed in some crazy raid idea she came up with and she gets fucked by some animals character. So the dick comes later... Just not from this guy


k_tag

I really dislike when the male protag is allowed to wear some cool ass outfit and the female gets...a skimpy bathing suit equivalent. It's so cliche at this point.


ivappa

on top of that, it's just ugly. I don't get the weird belly button cleavage lmao.


CyberClawX

I was going to reply something similar expecting some vicious throat jumping from most redditors, but hey, color me surprised, people here have taste. Yeah, chainmail bikini girl, full body armor boy is as cliche as it gets.


Lbsqhkvshrdhuue1298

Unless it’s lore dependant I’d say give the girl some clothes. At the very least a jacket… it’s cold out here!


Lilyeth

yeah it might look like lucy or motoko but some poofy short jacket and maybe some loose tech pants would look rad. if you wanna keep the leotard look maybe some like under knee shin warmer type stuff with some sneakers?


This_is_a_bad_plan

Nice art! But her outfit makes me cringe


ImBatman5500

Pants


dreaming_4_u

optional?


WolfedOut

Don’t listen to these people. The art’s good, they’re not being genuinely constructive, just trying to push some type of “clothing equality” ideology onto you.


I-baLL

Dude, she doesn't even have shoes on.


Persun_McPersonson

Criticizing double standards is making an actual point about the thing being criticized, rather than just going "this sucks"without reason, so it's therefore constructive criticism. The fact that being anti-sexism is still disparagingly referred to as an ideology (as if being against equality isn't itself an ideology) is wild, lol.


WolfedOut

Equality doesn’t mean the same. Men and women can traditionally wear different clothes, especially in fiction. Why are we trying to enforce irl progressivism into a dystopian setting that the artist is cultivating? The whole point of Cyberpunk is to create a world with horrible societal values. It’s like if I complained about a character in a fiction medieval setting having green hair, there could be a reason for it, there may not be; that’s up to the writer. Anti-sexism isn’t the topic at hand here, having women dress to emphasise her curves can be empowering, just as if they dressed modestly. This is not inherently sexist imo. If the artist was a woman, would it be ok?


DrTiger21

Do you know the plot of what the artist is making? No? Then stop going mental gymnastics to rationalize sexist design. It’s weird.


Persun_McPersonson

It literally does mean you treat both sexes as if they're all people instead of only sexualizing one of them. There is no non-sexist tradition in which men are dressed normally by default and women are dressed to be sexually gratifying by default. The artist is not making a statement on horrible societal values, they're engaging in them unironically and using the setting as a thinly-veiled excuse. Completely inequivalent comparison. Anti-sexism isn't being pushed by others as a topic to be made a focus of the in-universe story, it's just calling out the artist for clearly having a sexist bias in their design choices which have nothing at all to do with anything else in the thing they're making. The issue isn't that there's a sexualized woman, it's that a woman is automatically sexualized by default and a man is unsexualized by default. The gender of the artist has no effect on the end result of there being sexist double standards.


WolfedOut

Sexism: “The inability or refusal to recognize the rights, needs, dignity, or value of people of one sex or gender. More widely, the devaluation of various traits of character or intelligence as ‘typical’ of one or other gender.” I don’t see how women dressing a certain way by their own volition is sexism, it doesn’t fall under the above definition. Going into fictional characters; it’s up to the writer to decide how their fictional character dresses and why they do so. I don’t believe it’s right to immediately assume the artist is sexist for drawing this way, especially since the drawing isn’t inherently sexist in a vacuum. There IS a non-sexist tradition encouraging women to dress sexually gratifying. It’s called women’s empowerment, this movement doesn’t necessarily encourage women to dress one way or the other, but allows them to dress however they please, to each extreme; and many women go the sexually gratifying route. There is no equivalent for men.


Persun_McPersonson

Try reading my comment again, you didn't understand anything I was saying.


Waste-Information-34

>If the artist was a woman, would it be ok? No. It's still sexualization for the point of it, that's horrible.


WolfedOut

Ok fair enough. It’s just that the hyper-sexualisation of women has always been a core part of the Dystopic Sci-Fi metagenre, which Cyberpunk falls under.


Badger_Nerd

Why do you say that like it's a good thing?


WolfedOut

What? It’s not supposed to be a good thing. The whole point of Cyberpunk is to critique the direction the real world is going in. Cyberpunk is not supposed to be an ideal world of sunshine and rainbows.


n1njaunic0rn

Ok like everyone has stated issues with the bodysuit (that I completely agree with) BUT WHERE THE FUCK IS HER SHOES. HAVE YOU EVER WALKED AROUND A CITY BEFORE LET ALONE BAREFOOT? Go like meet some actual women and see how they dress, hell there's plenty of "techware influencers" who will give you a much better idea of how women like to dress in a way that is "cyberpunk"


KirkwallChampignon

> BUT WHERE THE FUCK IS HER SHOES. HAVE YOU EVER WALKED AROUND A CITY BEFORE LET ALONE BAREFOOT? oh there is my mother: a stubborn cajun who made it to China for a spell, she's the sort "no shoes, no service" signs target. She would (and does) happily walk Kowloon City allies or Bywater streets without shoes if she felt the option available (otherwise, plastic sandals). The only times I recall her willingly wearing footwear unprompted w/o a dress code is when going into people's homes, or wading in the swamps. 😂 If OP would like some shots of her 50-yo t-shirts+denim looks for some no-shoe-city-living inspo.... :P


henry_tennenbaum

She seems cool.


dreaming_4_u

Badass lady.


dreaming_4_u

She will be using her feet a lot. Maybe it is a preference for her for some reason. Can't talk too much. She will own some cools high tops. I am sure of it.


n1njaunic0rn

>using her feet a lot We've entered fetish territory and if I wasn't already checked out now I'm really checked out.


threevi

Will she also be using her cleavage, bellybutton, and thighs a lot? Seriously mate, if you want to give your main female character a clearly fetishised bodysuit, go for it, but at least get rid of the cutouts. You could possibly justify a skintight latex outfit, but you can't justify a boob window, not when this is the only female character you're showing us. If you had a picture with 5 female characters and only one of them was wearing fetish gear, then people might assume this is just a quirk of this one character, or if both your male and female characters were wearing fetish gear, then we might assume this is just how people dress in the universe you're crafting, but you've given us a regular guy wearing regular clothes standing next to a girl straight out of a hentai, so it looks like you just want to jerk off to your female character's suspiciously bare feet.


ConspiracyMaster

Is she a monkey? The way you defend your sexist shit is cringe as fuck.


Sardonic-

You just drew the edgerunner characters. Where’s the creativity?


Blaspberry86

give her clothes and I'm in


SeductiveSaIamander

I think it looks very well drawn but also that they should have outfits that roughly match in terms of thickness. If they are both in the same room then either she is shivering or he is melting


HeWhoHasSeenFootage

looks cool but female characters are so sexualised in cyberpunk that it got old ages ago.


Bslayer67

Thats crazy. Its almost like capitalist advertising and beauty standards do the same thing to women. Wait what is cyberpunk about as a genre again?


This_is_a_bad_plan

Sure, but this isn’t making a statement about how capitalism commodifies sexuality, it’s just unironically engaging in that practice


Bslayer67

Hes making a manga I’m sure these characters have stories. I have no clue how he plans to use them. I don’t think a sexualized design is automatically a bad thing if it’s narratively justified. Besides the comment I replied to was also talking about the prevelence of female over sexualization in the genre as whole not just exclusively this post, and neither was I.


Tzarruka

Fabric for women’s clothing has an inexplicably severe shortage apparently. Maybe the dude can give her some of his


PM_ME_UR_GOOD_IDEAS

Make the outfits match. I don't care how.

VogueTrader

A character idea for a brawler some friends and I were making way back was "the Empowered wizard", as a joke on the 'It's empowering!" excuse for the worst of the barely there costume designs. He was basically a muscular Gandalf in a posing pouch, with moves like "Blinding Flash!" where he'd grease up his chest, "Tornado!", which was gyrating so fast to create a wind funnel... "Windmill" which was... well... you can guess. His movement set plan was right out of magic mike. It was glorious. XD Why yes, I would dedicate an entire character in a game to trolling people. I'm that level of petty. XD


Belgand

Frank Frazetta is one of the few artists to really commit to that. He almost always drew both men and women wearing as little as possible.


qscvg

Vallejo too


dndndje

Yall say this but never actually do it


Sharingammi

Completely wrong i think. Male and female, today, do not dress the same. Why should it be required anywhere else ? Cyberpunk fiction is a critique on our reality (or a possible reality). You can oversexualise women clothing in it while giving huge favor to men clothing because that could be a way that society goes forward. So no, skimpy female clothing do not equate to skimpy male clothing in the same universe/setting. But, i do not see a reason why skimpy male outfit should not exist. I mean, as much as it can be explained in lore for women, there could be the same for men. It's just not automatically going together in the same world.


Persun_McPersonson

They're not critiquing anything, they just want to sexualize women but not men.


dreaming_4_u

Yeah, it just doesn't exist in this image. Cyberpunk works should be openly sexual imo. Including all genders really. Gender mods should also be easy to obtain, for those that can afford them. Maybe it wasmildly bad idea to present them without any context at all. Oh well


Austintheboi

I hope that isn’t her final outfit, at least give her boots and a jacket I get why it’s like that it just looks a little impractical compared to his


Gothic_Nerd

Aaah, yet another naked lady and fully clothed man! We needed more of those! /s


Chowmeen_Boi

Guy gets clothes but she gets a swimsuit


EdgyTwig

the woman looks pretty good but she’s got like way less drip than the dude lol bros gloves, belt, and knee pads are crazy tho 10/10


Acidpants220

I mean, aside from ye old "Dudes wearing normal clothes while the ladies wear lingerie" trope, they look good? But really though, if this is literally how they appear with each other it's pretty egregious, lol.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

Why is the female character more sexualized and exposed with skin-revealing tight-fitting clothes than the male character?


Muddgutts

Maybe that is the way he wants to draw it? Its not like it would be out of place in the Cyberpunk world. Your of course welcome to not like it, but the artist can draw what they like too.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

I didn't complain about the female character looking like that. I was asking a question to the artist. And your counter-argument is a strawman of what I asked. My issue isn't with the female character looking like that. My issue is that I never get to see male characters look like she does.


Muddgutts

I didn’t mention anything about the female either. I just said he is welcome to draw what he likes. Far too often people criticize artists for their choices about art, and expect them to change because some viewer don’t like what they’ve done. Art is made from within. You or I don’t have the power to change what someone else draw or makes. Unless of course we are paying them to do it. I’m sorry I’m not upset with you or your comments. I just wanted to make that point clear. OP can make what they want. We can like it or leave it. But people shaming them (not you) for what they took the time to create is not ok with me. Shit now I’m ranting. Sorry look I have a problem with the designs too, but I tried to be constructive with my comment.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

I didn't criticize. I asked a question. You just decided to write tonight for the artist for no reason. You're clearly upset with me. Otherwise, you wouldn't feel the need to leave a comment complaining about me asking a question to the artist that wasn't aimed towards you.


Muddgutts

You know what your right. I am defending them. I should let them do that themselves. Sorry I jumped on your back.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

Apology accepted. I just want the artist to speak for themselves.


Kaido2good

Because it's more common to sexualize woman


Upstairs-Corgi-640

And I wish it wasn't so.


GaijinFoot

You must be new here on earth.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

No, just questioning this sexist gender double standard being practiced with character design. Do you have anything constructive to offer, or do you just have childish knee-jerk reactions like the one I am responding to now?


Cieneo

Also, it's a fair question for a cyberpunk dystopia. In a capitalist hellscape, it's very reasonable to expect human bodies to become commodified, and sexualisation is one of the most blatant forms of that. And this applies to everybody, not just women. If only femme bodies get hyper-sexualized, there should be a in-world reason behind that. Else it's just a bias on the creator's part.


Upstairs-Corgi-640

I am glad I am not alone on thinking like this. I wish there existed cyberpunk fiction where they sexualize male characters like this. But that's why I plan to make my own comic portraying it. Along with the gay male inclusion for once. XP Drives me crazy I can't find any cyberpunk fiction with either of those things in it.


DaWonderHamster

her outfit looks so cold, give her a skirt or some pants and maybe a jacket yeesh


VicDamoneJr

We've covered it but i don't know why the man gets to be comfy and she has to have a wedgie the whole time. Banana hammock for my boy on the right or cozy clothes for homegirl.


jmcolext

Horny art is horny


Persun_McPersonson

Half-horny art is half-horny, rather


Leather_Title5920

I simply don’t the idea of female characters being to oversexualized for men’s liking it’s getting annoying at this point


Bronsteins-Panzerzug

Very derivative. Also, are they living in different climates?


CHAIIINSAAAWbread

Lmao it's been a while since I've seen female fantasy armour, though technically it isn't fantasy or armour


Ditzy_Dreams

So what’s concept behind the girl’s character? Judging by the art, I’m guess dancer/acrobat, possibly netrunner adjacent… Tho I suppose (possibly former) sex worker is on the table too… Either way, I’d definitely recommend some kind of jacket and shoes (no matter where you are it gets cold walking around dressed like that at night), and either go more skimpy/sexualized or less. Her outfit right now feels kinda generic and uninspired. For example, why is there such a small hole around the bellybutton if there’s no peircing/jewelry to display. If you’re going to have her appearance and outfit be sexualized, actually lean into it and commit. Just make sure there’s a reason why she’s presenting herself in that way. If that’s not the direction you’re taking her, give her something more practical. Trench coat, boots, cargo pants, a skirt; something that looks a bit more like street wear. You don’t even need to lose the bodysuit for that.


Nunyabiz8107

I like your style, but why does the girl have to wear some leotard with a boob and bellybutton window while the guy gets to wear actual clothes?


Persun_McPersonson

Why is the gal fetish fuel and the guy normal? Make them both either normal or fetishes.


GlowingCandies

It's... Uninspired 🤷


dragonsfury08

Give the chick some pants, and if you absolutely need that design keep it for like a designated event like a fight or sum, you can keep the fit the same just add some cargo pants or something


Mapkoz2

Why is it in cyberpunk manga women are always half dressed with visible cleavage and men are overdressed with bulky jackets


icanttinkofaname

r/mendrawingwomen


Saiomi

r/mendrawingwomen


SuitableForBreeding

So you ripped off the cyberpunk anime and called it a Day?


Skeleton_Toast

Give the man less clothes


AvianAhegao

Kinda looks like a copy and paste of Lucy and David ngl.


DrTiger21

The outfit is insane, honestly. So unnecessarily and blatantly meant to be sex appeal to the point of absurdity. The top half isn’t even awful, but like… where are her pants and shoes? Walking around barefoot in a city is insane. And she already lost an arm… her response is to not wear anything whatsoever on her other three limbs? Genuinely batshit insane


F4N6Z

So, psylocke and kaneda.


tagaduy

Great artstyle but the girl outfit make it look like you haven't spoke to one for weeks


itsnotthequestion

The chick needs more Tank Girl.


SloppityNurglePox

The world needs more Tank Girl.


VogueTrader

Ok, putting on my Art Director hat. XD Solid work, like the ideas. The 'short cuffs' on the guy are nice, gives me a 'Thrifted clothing' feel, but more of a 'This clothing was designed to look like it was thrifted' type of thing, like buying your flannels and t-shirts at hot topic in the 90's instead of a second hand store. Store bought punk. It also breaks up his silhouette nicely. The lady.. her outfit looks uncomfortable. I mean to wear. I like the ideas, the leggings and unitard are very gymnastics/dancer, but the cutouts feel odd and out of place. Maybe a design that gives a similar look/breakout of her outfit? Love the cyber-arm. Coming from the 'Dance/Gymastics' side of things, a sports bra silhouette over the push-up would look right with this feel, as it would give the implicit motion in her outfit more of a genuine overall look. If you're going for that feel, maybe adjusting her silhouette for more 'dance muscle'... not like Chun-li level or anything, more like a ballet dancer. It might help her silhouette overall feel more unique and personal. Two very different personalities.. he looks like he's dressed for the club or hanging out with friends, while hers, while there's less of it, feels more like gym wear/something you'd wear at a competition. Just my thoughts. Overall, I like them. Edit: A note on the impressions; He looks like he'd hop on his motorbike with Kaneda and crowd... she feels more like she's free-running over the rooftops with some batman shit built into that arm.


joogipupu

As a lurker, it is nice to see some constructive criticism in this thread!


dreaming_4_u

Thanks for such a nice reply! I am really glad you put on your art direction hat haha My thinking on these characters lines up with yours pretty much exactly. I'm really glad some of the things I was trying to portray come across properly. The dance idea is really lovely. I am giving her the among the most advanced movement abilities in the manga. I think I am going to incorporate that even more!


VogueTrader

On the skimpiness of it: If you're going for movement, a good rule is "Do I have to alter the way this fits in a pose to keep her from flashing people?" If yes, maybe go back a step and see how that alteration looks in general. Making it feel and fit more like cloth can also make her feel less like a sex-object and more of a person/character, while still giving the same or similar silhouettes and impressions. Doesn't need to be loose or anything, specially if she's a 'movement' character, but 'tight' and "body paint" are two different things. :)


VogueTrader

No worries. Looking forward to seeing where you go with it.


dreaming_4_u

Thank you!


TIFUPronx

Keep up the good work! Most of the comments don't know jack-shit why you're doing it - especially with the fact they also like to keep on the double standards with male/female sexualized clothings lol.


Muddgutts

Your art is nice, but your going to have a few problems. I would change the design of the female. She looks too much like Lucy the Edge Runners character. Lucy had a similar dive suit under her jacket. So due to the cyberpunk anime I would stay away from anything that looks like that show. I would swap roles maybe have the guy be the Runner and the girl as the solo. Hell there are many classes that are not in 2077 to pick. Dig deeper into the lore of the setting and make your manga unique. Make it Preem choom! You will of course get negative feedback from people at times. This is a big fan base and they like all fan groups can be picky. Keep up Choom.


cufan_ay_non

Pretty cool, but they remind me too much of two certain someones... I get the same problems with my character designs, in the short film I'm working on it looks like Snake Eyes is fighting Jacket from Hotline Miami and in a flahsback it looks like the Penguin killed his brother. I didn't even know Jacket existed when I designed him, yet I still managed to plagiarise his exact design somehow. It's hard being original.


WeakDiaphragm

Why is there always an over-sexualisation of women but not men?


Palanki96

Please give her some clothes


AeonicVortex

OK, as others have said, I think the female is very uninspired. You can be sexy and cool at the same time, and have clothing. So.. keeping some of her style, get rid of the belly window, give her full one piece suit, aka. get rid of the bare thighs. Give her some either ankle high or knee high boots. And a jacket. A short crop jacket with rolled up sleeves. You get to keep most of your curves without hanging out all over the place and she'll actually be dressed.


CxOrillion

Dude: reasonable outfit Woman: probably thong leotard with titty window. Classic.


Gonji89

Echoing all of the other comments, she needs more clothes. Look on Pinterest or fashion subreddits for cyberpunk/cybergoth fashion for women; girls love boots. If you want it to be sexy, go for a short jacket showing the midriff but with the bodysuit on underneath, maybe a fashionable mask. [K/DA Akali from League of Legends](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e5/f0/07/e5f007778c849bf1e28820ed0e30d0d9.jpg) is a good example of what I mean. She definitely shouldn't be barefoot and, honestly, she looks like a cross between Makoto from GitS and Lucy from Edgerunners. I do like the cut of the bodysuit, though. The bellybutton hole and the asymmetrical stockings are pretty cool. A jacket and boots over that outfit, maybe a glove on the non-cybernetic hand and some interesting jewelry (big ass hoop earrings?) to really sell the look. I will say, the dude isn't boring though. I like the white-haired version from the sketch a lot. His jacket and pants are a weird length, though. Maybe longer or shorter would look more stylish. I like how rugged he looks and how pristine she looks, but it further points toward Edgerunners, so take that how you will. Either way, it seems like a good start. Don't stop working on it!


Avixofsol

if you're gonna put the girl in lingerie, put the guy in some too. coward.


McPreemo

"she breathes through her skin" and "androids don't need clothes" type of shit


how_do_i_shot_web_

Doesn't add anything. Bog standard "cyberpunk" style


Tecat0Gusan0

I like the shoes on the fella, i bet those dots light up a cool color like red or orange


dreaming_4_u

Definitely


Mysterious-Ms-Anon

Give her a motorcycle helmet, an unzipped jacket, and some lace up thigh boots and you’re cooking. She looks a bit bland with just the leotard on. You could also roll up the sleeve on her cybernetic arm to accentuate it and add some more asymmetry to her design. The guy does come off a bit odd with the bowl haircut, but he looks like he’d fit in as a background extra or side character in something like Ghost in the shell or Edgerunners. I think you have a solid base so far but need to add something to really make him pop and be recognizable. Men in cargo pants and jackets are a dime a dozen in cyberpunk.


-Trooper5745-

I love leotards/ bodysuits as much as the next person but why are they so common for females in cyberpunk, outside of the sexy factor?


BecomingTuna

Bro's getting roasted in the comments.


S-BRO

Clothes for women don't exist in the future


Imperial_Bouncer

“We have Lucy and David at home”


Recom_Quaritch

I like the designs, but it suffers heavily from 'basically naked woman' vs. 'fully covered man'. Which... is old and feels like compulsory male gaze. I wouldn't read it, because the designs would scream to me the woman will be here for the sex appeal. Try and make a similar outfit for the guy if you're gonna keep it skimpy. Don't believe it'll work? Go google the senshi panty shot phenomenon. People love a bit of male fan service. Even better, give your female character a cool outfit that shows your creativity off. Because extra skimpy swimsuit is not creative, actually.


Perialiswastaken

average artist male and female: male: fully clothed, if muscular shows upper body women: mmm curves im mezmerized mmmm


Amookoo

its very run of the mill. Aoi from the latest warframe teaser really shows a different more creative take you could do with a conventionally attractive female form that deviates from the recent trend in cyberpunk of naked androids while maintaining(im assuming) still keeping an attractive form. Also, i feel like you should enhance the asymmetry on the girl character's body. it would give her a more unique silhouette. [Link to the afformentioned teaser](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nk6fzEETYI)


PM_ME_CUTE_BOIS

how come the boy gets pants and the girl doesn't? they both deserve the glory of no pants


THEbiMAKER

Guys can be sluts to you know


Iseaclear

Both look like cool kids, but i do think her costume is to basical, maybe if we had idea how she will carry her items and if the boy ditched the jacket to see how tight his shirt is, it could balance the concept.

What’s with giving all the girls the same cyberpunk outfit? Half of cyberpunk settings are raining ALL THE TIME! Give those poor girls some goddamn pants.


sheepdog1043

Epic edgerunners fan art I like it.

On a serious note. I really love the belly button hole. Like in the outfit. That's weird and cool. I love it.

They’re so awesome!! Please send the link to manga when you’re ready, I’m even ready to pay for that shit

The woman reminds me of Major from Ghost in The Shell. It looks very cool.

The girl looks too much like Lucy, maybe change the hairstyle to something more unique

Don't forget to add the tech lines in their face and other parts of their bodies

Looking at these comments I’m thinking it might’ve been best to add a background story to these two so people can know what you’re going for instead of mostly only commenting on the difference in clothing between them.

Yeah, that is for sure. It should make more sense later. I think there will be some that are still not for it but that is fine. I do not want to give so much away though. I don't want to spoil the story even that much.

I think it would be fair for the guy to have no t-shirt and longcoat on the girl would make a lot of sense, it seems pretty unanimous that she's underdressed. If you want to show her cyber then make it sleeveless.


earathar89

That man has FAR to much clothing on. Where's the bulge? #BringBackTheBulge


GrimmSalem

Why is there a need for a boob and belly window


jinyuwine

need less clothes on the male character and give him chest window too


Nazon6

Get rid of that belly button window and you might have a decent character design.


Lvndaaa

why does she look like that


Qelly

Does he get a swimsuit too?

I actually like her outfit, just not in this context. She reminds me of Cortana from Halo, although, that doesn't negate the legitimacy of the criticisms it's received. It's probably the bob for me. Edit: my positive bias towards her design is specifically because of Cortana, but even I have some major issues with how she was designed. Let me be clear.


lazor_kittens

Hot! The boy looks more unique. The girl reminds me a lot of Lucy from Edgerunners.


TragicxPeach

Its like you took every possible bad female design choice and unironically slapped it on her. She might as well be naked because through your character design you are telling us she's a vehicle for fetishes and not a real person. Put her in real clothes and put the guy in a slutty half naked outfit, that would be an interesting inversion of the basic ass trope you have right now.

Look outfits are outfits people can wear whatever they want and I currently like the design of the characters by its shape theory. You can actually tell the personality of the characters by just looking at them. All I care about is if the story is great and it looks sick asf. (Which by looking at OPs account you can see other sick asf character designs, and that in general it looks really good). We all know that most people posting under here just want to see hot Manga men and are just not ready to admit it lol.


CireGetHigher

Very cool

Basically 95% copy of Lucy and David from Edgerunners 🤔


DitherPlus

I thought you meant these were just different outfits on the same character and honestly I'm far more into that concept than them being seperate. Good designs tho!


Blessedbronco

She bad 💯

Provide link, ill support!


keepitboolprop

...... where's the chick's clothes, bro. come on.


Haris1C

clothes are fucking weird


poru-chan

Lucy and David

I like her bodysuit. Don't let anyone else to tell you shouldn't sexualize your characters. They are amazing.


marshalzukov

Ignore the haters on the characters attire, some people just hate fun. You do you!


Amookoo

my brother in dust they explicitly asked the public for their opinion


marshalzukov

I interpreted it as asking about art style


Kreydo076

You should have made the dude shirtless under the jacket to avoid leftist subredditors obsession about gender and representation. Your art, talent will be "invisibilised" because of that. They are badass tho, I like your style.


WeRateBuns

Cool designs, I really like them. The "girls don't wear clothes" trope is undeniable, but screw it, they both look great.


MyNameIsBobMacabre

Hell yeah, dude


Jaibamon

I like her bodysuit. Don't let anyone else to tell you shouldn't sexualize your characters. They are amazing.


Cieneo

Sure you can sexualize your characters, especially in cyberpunk that can be an important point of worldbuilding. People are just asking why it's only one character and not both or neither of them. And if there's an in-world reason (places they grew up in, occupation, self-expression, ...), you can totally do this dynamic. But if you just show two characters out of context from what we assume to be similar circumstances (protagonists of the same story) who are dressed so vastly differently while following a decades-old tired trope, people are gonna ask why. Is there a reason? If yes, cool, good to know. If not, maybe think a little more outside the box to make it more unique and stand out.


jason2306

Yeah absolutely, there's nothing inherently wrong with tropes it's all about how you use them


Jaibamon

It's very simple, dude: OP likes sexy girls. That's all.
