Remember that bikini-clad replacement for Alyx?

Post by Executor32 »

Nkinta, the creator of the Korin Bikini replacement for HL2's Alyx Vance, has released a new Alyx replacement: Bulma from Dragonball, modeled in the FF7:AC style.

Sweetness. :shock:

Yeah, looks great, but the lack of correct eyes is a bit of a strike.

I was trying to imply that rather than being modeled similarly to most 3D anime-style characters, a la any of the 3D DBZ games, she was modeled in a more realistic style, a la FF7:AC.

Sorry to rain on the parade, but ever I ran into my first Tomb Raider fanboy, I've felt that ogling a polygonal computer-game chick is the epitome of loserhood.

I dont give a blip who thinks i'm a looser, Lara Croft is hot. Indeed most video game women are hot. Fuckable actually is the word i'd use, but hot is a good enough substitute.

This one though...not hot exactly, but cute. Like the hair.

Bandaids are a little odd though...kind of looks like she nicked herself shaving or something.

Yeah they do look odd actually, they look like her tailor got drunk.

I'd prefer some Daisy Dukes instead, or just pants. Either have both legs or none, but not just one.

Not ogling, just thinking "Yay, a new Alyx replacement! It's a character from an anime I like! And it looks cool! And she's wearing pants, so her hacking device isn't just hanging off her leg!" :D

In this case, she (it?) actually resembles a generic Japanese AV star, so it's not so bad to ogle her I guess.

Meh, I still prefer Alyx, in fact she manages to be hot while still sensibly fitting into the game.

So anyone familiar with the character know what's up with the bandaids? They just seem random.

Agreed. Alyx looks way hotter then this chick, from the aborted featus of a show called DBZ.

It's interesting that guys love their porn so much that they won't stop playing a game for it. No, "Add tits TO the game...", think guys, "...and then you can play a game AND have an erection!"

Me, I'm a purist. Don't put tits in the game, you're distracting me. Conversely, don't put a game in my porn, you'll distract me from my jerking off.

Decent art is always worthy of admiration, there's nothing "loser" like about that in the least. The original Lara Croft CGI models were shite, which is why I idolated Rhona Mitre, the original Croft PR model with a daddy who's a plastic surgeon. She was the girl that got banged by the invisible man in the family comedy Hollow Man.

Alyx is cute, and that bikini model was good too, but wouldn't work in the game.

What kind of name is "Bulma"? Sounds like a terrible disease.

Wait a minute... Did they actually put little shadows where the nipples are supposed to be? Oh dear, coupled with the ass-shadow, that can only mean one thing. Somewhere, someone has a naked version of this model.

But it's a pretty good model. She should have her pants fixed though.

I avoid naked models of characters for my games, since I have porn for that sort of thing, but this is a nice model.

Those wondering about the band-aids and pants, the model texture is based directly on how Bulma appeared on the cover for Volume Ten of the Dragon Ball manga:

(US version, which incorporates the same image as the Japanese original)

Image

As for why she looked like that in the first place: hey, it was mid 1980s Japan... :P
