Forums - Gaming Discussion - Riot Games artist Blair Armitage gives her own take on Tifa Lockehart - Surpasses Nomura.

The face doesn't look like Tifa at all. My favorite Tifa design will always be the original one:



Around the Network

For people complaining about the face - Think

The original design for Tifa is anime! The OP image loses the anime look and goes for what Tifa could like as a actual real life human being. So of course so liberties were taken with face. Even Advent children Tifa's face looks different compared to her OG design.

No.

Oooooh. I see. You're a fan of the lifeless doll look. 

No signs of any body temperature. No skin pigmentation; show me an adult human that has no variance in skin tone. She looks creepy here.

Lifeless doll? Shit you could use that description for every anime girl in the history of Japanese animation methods.

Also, like I've said in a previous post - the Riot artwork pitched Tifa's face too "baby" like. As if they were appealing to pedophiles, like you can't say she doesn't have a baby face in the OG Riot picture you provided.

For me, it might sound corny but there's a kindness to Tifa which shows through her original design and her Advent Children version that I really don't feel in this rendition.



Signature goes here!

Your absolutely right. This is a non doll Tifa and shes better for it.

What does having a baby face have to do with pedophiles? Thats sounds really stupid. A pedophile is a man or woman that actively seeks to have sexual relationships with children. How are you connecting the two? I am 29 years old; any time anybody attempts to guess my age its always 10+ years. Some people are youthful. Tifa is only 20 in FF7, not a quite a kid, but not mature either (physically in the face). That is what her face says to me.

It think you are confusing the looks with mannerisms. Tifa was definitely the big sister of the group. 



To bad we won't be seeing Tifa in FFVII R anytime soon. Got another decade before we do boys!

I'm connecting the two because pedophiles gravitate to underdeveloped female characteristics and body parts, which this design of Tifa Lockheart clearly has. At least in my perspective she does. I've never, not once, met a 20 year old girl with those kind of facial features that resemble a underage, juvenile 6 yr old girl.

 

Where as the Advent Children Tifa looks more like an actual Asian female in her early 20's. Riots concept looks like he slapped a little girls face onto a mature girls body. It looks off - way off.

 

That's MY outlook on it though. I'm not in any way shape or form insinuating that anyone who likes Riots design is a pedophile. Just wanted to make that clear.

See, it's either sexualised or lifeless doll to you.

She is not lifeless. She is a normal person that is well endowed. You are making it look like every woman must be showing her goods in your face to have a personality. I can't disagree with that more.

And yes, that on the OP is sexualised. You can see it clearly from her poses and hairstyle.

 

Hey... we agree on other things. :P

What? The lifeless doll is in reference to the fact the she and the rest of Advent children cast have no skin temperature. Her skin tone looks like a deads persons. She looks dead or really ill.

This just in! White people are lifeless dolls!

I'm joking, but you are exagerating. In your second post in this thread you yourself admit how her sexyness and atitude are more pronounced in this rendition by eaying "she is bad!". You know that what i'm saying is right. You like this one more, but by the reactions here it's obvious the rendition lost an important part of Tifa's gentle character.

This render is simply not Tifa. It's a cosplayer.

You're optimistic I see. Good for you.



Hmm, pie.
