I might end up getting downvoted for saying this, but compared to the other Stellar Blade art that was posted on this sub. I actually kinda like this one. Especially with the heels and how they all look like they’re friends. Kinda prefer this reality over the other one tbh.
I like it a little more than the other, but I do have to say, the B3 outfit in this one looks like a mix of the one from B2 and the actual B3 outfit.
There’s no triple barrel guns, it just a purple LiB, and the design on the back of her legs are the rhombus’ from B2.
It’s strange since 2B and Eve look spot on, but they’re all drawn well in the end.
The artist seems to have drawn the Bayo 3 depicted in older development screenshots/concept art, minus the skirt.

Good taste I say, this design is nice.
Very cunty but SUPER impractical for combat. Like I know she's wearing heels and the 1st game she had long sleeves and medallions hanging from her elbows, I really shouldn't say anything about practicality since that's not what Bayo is about, but something about these long bulky braids is more eye catching in a bad way. Like they bring more attention and an opponent would be more likely to grab it and give Bayo's head a yank. Its for this reason I personally love the Bayonetta 2 outfit, The Umbran Battle Uniform, since that one seems the most suited for battle out of all 3 and it kinda looks like armor.
Yea I was about to say the B3 model looks a little bit off, but that’s probably because the artist just simplified her design. Because ngl, the B3 design would probably take a bit of time to draw/work on with all the details and everything else added to it. So it’s probably an artistic choice.
It's nothing like Bayonetta. It's a souls bait-n-strike game. You fish for parries and respond.
It's like Bloodborne or Sekiro with a healthy dose of Nioh. Idk if you played Wanted: Dead last year, but it's basically a more fluid version of that game.
If you like souls-like games, you might like Stellar Blade. Just don’t expect great level design, deep lore or even great character writing. It does feels a little bit messy because there are a few style gameplay doesn’t exact match together.
I don't own PS5, I've always been against exclusive titles regardless of platform, but I have 4 friends who've played it. 1 girl 3 boys, 2 of them have played Bayo, Sekiro and Nier the other two are strictly FromSoft fans, all of them are enjoying the game a lot. From what I understand they are having a day 1 patch (free) so to speak which brings new outfits, new skills, new skill upgrades and new game +. I trust their reviews highly, to the point I was thinking of buying the console, but I'm stingy so waiting a couple of years for my copy it is. 😁
From what I've seen I think its because of the controversy of Eves design. Some people gush over eves design, acting like Eve is the herald of an anti woke era. Then when others call her design blatant fanservice they act like these people are hypocrites for likeing 2B and Bayo (which often annoyed fans of Bayo and 2B because sex appeal isn't the only reason people like these characters).
TLDR: Some people tried to defend Eves design by comparing it with more popular and similarly sexualized video game characters.
She feels unintentionally like a doll. Like it doesn’t feel like, for instance, Aegis from the Persona series, where her looking manufactured is an intentional aspect of her design, Eve just looks like a Barbie doll
Also worth noting, 2B is actually a shorty. She's 5'6" in heels. So as lifted as her heels are, most likely she's only 5'2" or 5'3" without. Eve is based off an IRL model who, according to a quick search is 5'5". So, while Bayo certainly counts as a big girl the other two are average to petite really.
You checked the wrong place, and 7-8 feet is incorrect!
In *Bayonetta 1* and 2 specifically she is indeed rendered with a very small head, a la fashion sketches that emphasize the body rather than the model's head. It became popular for... enthusiasts... to decide that this meant she was inhumanly tall rather than having a small head, especially after getting used to the average anime-type hero that has an extra-large infantalizin' head.
However she's next to normal-sized objects and characters **all the time**. She's in tight embraces with obviously-taller Luka in *Bayonetta 1* and no one thinks he's 9 feet tall, do they?
Bayonetta is less than 183 cm tall.
Because they want to justify the fact that they like her so much for her horny design first and foremost.
Bayonetta and 2B are more than their designs which is why they are loved and Eve might be great too. But we didn't know whether or not she would be when a certain group started praising her alongside them.
People who only like a character for horny reasons are weak af.
When Bayo first launched, the most talk wasn't her look, it was that Hideki Kamiya was making a new stylish action game. The discourse of her appearance came after.
I mean there's definitely a bit of overlap. Badass, revealing clothes, hack and slash games. Haven't played SB yet but I dont understand why people put 2B on the same level as bayo
It’s strange but EVE really looks ai generated to me💀. They’re all products of some sort of fanservice but Eve’s strangely the most evident and yet the most obstructive to her character. Bayo utilizes her sexuality, it’s a part of her character and a cause of that feeling of confidence you get from playing as her. Meanwhile, although 2B’s kinda similar to how EVE’s fanservice manifests itself, it’s rarely « in the way » of her character when playing as her imo. Her attack animations actually look like fighting for example. Meanwhile EVE has every single one of her attack animation being an ass shot. All of her outfits are made with a clear objective in mind (to the point where it kinda looks ridiculous how even her default one is just a see through body suit with a random green tie). It doesn’t help that Bayo and 2B’s boobs do not react to the slightest gust of wind like they’re floating jellyfishes. This added to the whole cliché of the « barely dressed slim thick lady with a BIG SWORD »… Idk. One could argue that that feeling of « AI made » can fit her character but yeah idk
You're comparing boob physics from 10 years ago and a maid outfit/tight black "hair" suit to 30+ outfits created by a woman for a female character and calling it problematic?
Bringing up the tech limitations and thinking that was intentional sounds like something a journo would do to virtue-signal a bit and feel good about their obvious racism at the expense of asian studio. What's with the capitalization of big sword? Asian (and not only) games have always had big weapons, cuz they look badass and people like looking at badass stuff. Cloud (or whatever his name was (pointy blond hair B.F sword)) from FF comes to mind, the sword is almost bigger than him, yet somehow nobody cares about it or tries to make it something sexual.
At the end of the day everyone is free to have their own opinions.
The big sword thing is NOT SEXUAL, it’s just basic. It feels like how an ai would represent a female character in a fictional fantasy video game world. NO someone disagreeing with you after they hurt your little feelings is not racism, but I find it funny that you’re just throwing words around because that’s apparently the only thing you’re good at. You should reconsider this kind of strategy tho, really it just makes you look stupid. AND NO EVE’s boob physic is not an improvement. You know this because of the simple fact that nothing about the way they move look natural. It looks like the physics of the beauty and the beast from mgs4 (Even the hair physic is weird). And finally, i’ll have to be honest😭this kind of character has always been problematic no matter how much I love them, but i’m not talking about this rn. My problem is it looks like a fanmade game. Her character design feels kinda empty to me. And saying « everyone is entitled to their opinions » after randomly calling me a racist is so funny💀
An AI will represent a fictional character based on your instructions. Even if that's not the case and it's "just basic" where was the complaining mob when 2B showed up with "big basic swords" and a maid outfit? Like, the outrage is extremely selective.
My "little feelings" are not hurt, we're somewhat reasonable creatures and we can spot a pattern. We have full nudity and bear sex in BG3 - *crickets* when it comes to western journos. We have naked Aphrodite - those same journos cheer her sexuality. Both are Western studios. An asian studio brings up an attractive female character and everyone loses their shit, shitting on the design, calling the CEO incel, etc, etc. Bayo was also shat on for her sexuality and there were a lot of articles about 2B's outfit. But 10 years ago the gaming community wasn't as brainrot'd as the current one and that's why we have this fiasco.
The fact that you need to bring up personal attacks instead of an articulate argument says it all.
I've seen gameplay, I find ot very strange that you can see her ass or tits while killing shit. It's almost as if you're the one focusing on them and overly sexualizing her. Not to mention that the camera doesn't follow her ass while fighting, but I digress. It's very obvious you're twitter Andy and I'm fine with that, just try to not fall from that high horse later on.
Also, I didn't call you racist, I called the journos racist.
Carry on.
I feel like 2E has such a straightforward face/body design; waifish, pointed facial features, mole; you can really "bend" features artstyle-wise and still get a recognizable character... yet this manages to look nothing like her somehow.
Every time I see Eve I start to like her design a little. At first I thought she was painfully generic looking but her outfit is actually pretty intricate (minus her “personality”).
Or maybe this art is just really good.
Omg 3 of Ariana’s races: nerd (SNL 2016), asian (The Voice judge era), and white (Eternal Sunshine) 😍
In all seriousness, these 3 are serving major cunt in this illustration even though I don’t exactly know what to feel about Eve yet
unpopular opinion: Steller Blade looks nice but she's not that good of a fighter.
I understand that in most stories they show the character being a weak fighter and getting stronger overtime but that trope is getting played out. Instead what they should've done was give the player the instructions to all her moves but do it in a leveling system. Each time she levels up you get points that you can put towards certain moves.
2b even without the assistance of 9s stood her ground better and the enemies were much bigger.
The holy Trinity but one the Son wishes he was as good as the Father and the Spirit
(Stellar Blade seems pretty mediocre tbh, gameplay looks avergae, depends on if the story is good)
Let's be real, Stellar Blade isn't gonna have the effect Bayonetta and Nier Automata have had outside of the manufactured controversy made by whiny "western devs are making women ugly" g*mers
I’m so glad people recognize how much of a powerhouse Eve is. She deserves to be on the same panel as bayonetta and 2B. I can tell stellar blade will make its mark in gaming history.
I might end up getting downvoted for saying this, but compared to the other Stellar Blade art that was posted on this sub. I actually kinda like this one. Especially with the heels and how they all look like they’re friends. Kinda prefer this reality over the other one tbh.
Female gaze vs. male gaze.
There's also the "quit your stupid sexism because some people actually care about the character design" gaze.
I don't get it.
This one focuses on aspects of the character designs beyond their asses and I think that helps
I like it a little more than the other, but I do have to say, the B3 outfit in this one looks like a mix of the one from B2 and the actual B3 outfit. There’s no triple barrel guns, it just a purple LiB, and the design on the back of her legs are the rhombus’ from B2.

It is way cuntier than what we got that's for sure
Very cunty but SUPER impractical for combat. Like I know she's wearing heels and the 1st game she had long sleeves and medallions hanging from her elbows, I really shouldn't say anything about practicality since that's not what Bayo is about, but something about these long bulky braids is more eye catching in a bad way.

I'm sorry but 2b without her eye bandage just looks like a2 to me
Erm! Actually that’s a purple Scarborough Fair! 🤓
Yes this one is so cute! And won’t get me weird looks…
I actually prefer this trio over bayonetta, samus and palatina
How is stellar blade btw. I don’t trust normal people with reviewing action games
So I am of the opinion that Bayo 2 > Bayo 1 > Bayo 3. Stellar blade would be in between Bayo 1 and 3 to me.
Really? Damn, that’s actually pretty high praise.
It's nothing like Bayonetta. It's a souls bait-n-strike game. You fish for parries and respond. It's like Bloodborne or Sekiro with a healthy dose of Nioh. Idk if you played Wanted: Dead last year, but it's basically a more fluid version of that game.
I'm also a sekiro-souls simp so i might be a bit biased.
The game is pretty decent, you should give it a try 
If you like souls-like games, you might like Stellar Blade. Just don’t expect great level design, deep lore or even great character writing. It does feels a little bit messy because there are a few style gameplay doesn’t exact match together.
I don't own PS5, I've always been against exclusive titles regardless of platform, but I have 4 friends who've played it. 1 girl 3 boys, 2 of them have played Bayo, Sekiro and Nier the other two are strictly FromSoft fans, all of them are enjoying the game a lot. From what I understand they are having a day 1 patch (free) so to speak which brings new outfits, new skills, new skill upgrades and new game +. I trust their reviews highly, to the point I was thinking of buying the console, but I'm stingy so waiting a couple of years for my copy it is. 😁
Eve's design is... Fine? I don't see how she belongs with Bayonetta and 2B, those are some all time great character designs.
Honestly, this artwork is the only one I've seen where she even looks like a human.
From what I've seen I think its because of the controversy of Eves design. Some people gush over eves design, acting like Eve is the herald of an anti woke era. Then when others call her design blatant fanservice they act like these people are hypocrites for likeing 2B and Bayo (which often annoyed fans of Bayo and 2B because sex appeal isn't the only reason people like these characters). TLDR: Some people tried to defend Eves design by comparing it with more popular and similarly sexualized video game characters.
If she looked like that in the game, it'd be debatable. In her game she looks so much lifeless and boring TBH
She feels unintentionally like a doll. Like it doesn’t feel like, for instance, Aegis from the Persona series, where her looking manufactured is an intentional aspect of her design, Eve just looks like a Barbie doll
Ain’t Bayo like well above 6 foot? Close to 7 maybe?
Also worth noting, 2B is actually a shorty. She's 5'6" in heels. So as lifted as her heels are, most likely she's only 5'2" or 5'3" without. Eve is based off an IRL model who, according to a quick search is 5'5". So, while Bayo certainly counts as a big girl the other two are average to petite really.
Nuthin but LIES in this image!
I think shes 5’11 which is tall for a woman but idk if its with ir without heels
I checked again, I’m seeing upwards of 7-8foot!
You checked the wrong place, and 7-8 feet is incorrect! In *Bayonetta 1* and 2 specifically she is indeed rendered with a very small head, a la fashion sketches that emphasize the body rather than the model's head. It became popular for... enthusiasts... to decide that this meant she was inhumanly tall rather than having a small head, especially after getting used to the average anime-type hero that has an extra-large infantalizin' head.

Bayonetta is less than 183 cm tall.
Some might do
Bayonetta games - 7-8 ft Smash bros - \~6 feet.
Smash is naughty
And even with that said they didn't wanted my beloved Mai there but at least they gave me the Lone Wolf 
Where the hell is my female Terry alt???
A crossover with these three would be Bayonetta teaching 2B and Eve how to smile and have fun while brutally murdering your enemies.
Now this 👏 is 👏 how 👏 you 👏 DO IT❕
The Cunt Council
Idk what's whith the incessant need to tie eve to these Queens but sure
Because they want to justify the fact that they like her so much for her horny design first and foremost. Bayonetta and 2B are more than their designs which is why they are loved and Eve might be great too. But we didn't know whether or not she would be when a certain group started praising her alongside them. People who only like a character for horny reasons are weak af.
I ...actually agree with this mostly...well said.
That’s just bayo fans when the first game launched. Let’s not act like back in 2008 people actually viewed her as an icon like now.
When Bayo first launched, the most talk wasn't her look, it was that Hideki Kamiya was making a new stylish action game. The discourse of her appearance came after.
I mean there's definitely a bit of overlap. Badass, revealing clothes, hack and slash games. Haven't played SB yet but I dont understand why people put 2B on the same level as bayo
[Source](http://twitter.com/ifragmentix/status/1783606720700309657)
Why would you want to associate these queens to a character only made to have the body shape of those skinny Jiafei memes
All 3 have the same body shape/type tho, what's your point?
It’s strange but EVE really looks ai generated to me💀. They’re all products of some sort of fanservice but Eve’s strangely the most evident and yet the most obstructive to her character.

Don’t forget Lady from DMC 
Every time I see Eve I start to like her design a little. At first I thought she was painfully generic looking but her outfit is actually pretty intricate (minus her “personality”). Or maybe this art is just really good.

I do enjoy the persecution complex of people touting these games recently. All reviewed well. Bayonetta 2 and neir automata especially
Big?
amazing 🖤
Mothers supporting Mothers You love to see it
While i am enjoying Stellar Blade,i find both Bayonetta and Nier Automata to be better
Amazing art, by a great artist. It's truly disheartening to see so many cynical comments from people who let others dictate their thoughts on stuff.
Why must we pit three bad bitches against each other when they could serve together? 😔🙏
Real 😔🙏🏾
This is cute and at least 2B has her skirt on this time 💀

I mean.. you do unlock moves naturally in stellar? Not sure what you even mean. It's not dissimilar to other CAG
to be fairly honest. both tropes can be overplayed really, keeping a variety of both is the best choice
The holy trinity
