Where the whole scifi / fantasy aesthetics started to became so... well, like picrel?
I get that people want to experiment with new forms, styles and sizes, but in those scifi / fan settings humans still are and act like IRL ones, so why not their stuff too?

>>96295963 (OP)
real styles were born out of both necessity and practicality and the weird shit in life was made by experimentation that may have worked or may have been throwing shit at the wall
fiction has artistic license to be within a margin of error of reality based on assumptions. it apes what it likes from reality and innovates or discards the rest. it's not because they necessarily hate the real and accurate depiction, but because in their works, in most cases the veracity of the depiction matters less than the implementation of it
neither are wrong, but the enthusiasts of each will never rest easy with each other unless they can appreciate the differences

Fantasy drip (if one right) is recognizable and can be connected to a IP. Look at a Warcraft footmen, a Nilfgaard Soldier, a house Lannister men at arms or a Skyrim City Guard and you know immediatly what setting you´re in. Now try the same with realistic armor. You simply cant

Meaning what? Go on, use your words.

>>96295963 (OP)
Artists need to have a working knowledge of real world armour/vehicles/combat or things start to suffer from chinese whisperfication.

When your taste became really shitty and you started consuming the lowest effort scifi and fantasy that the world has to offer.

Read a book. What you're posing isn't a real problem except with media geared towards 15 year-old boys. And teenage boys are pretty stupid, what do you want?

>except with media geared towards 15 year-old boys.
There is no media geared towards 15 year-old boys now. It's all geared towards troons and brown fags.

Excuse me, the left side of it, the Space Marine.

Yeah? and?

Midwit the post

You know what he is talking about. You are just being a retard because you are a contrarian asshole who wants to seem superior by shutting down someone voicing their displeasure.

>>96296127
Oh god you're one of those people. Shoulda guessed.

>>96296167
>You know what he is talking about.
I absolutely do: videogames, toys, cartoons and films with so much cgi that they might as well be cartoons.

All of which are banking on their sales to adolescent boys because they have no substance behind them. Like better things. Simple as.

No idea why you think that's relevant. Largest customer demo for GW is middle-aged women. It's sure as hell not because they're buying the toys for themselves.

You sure about that?

I can see a Nilfgaard soldier IRL, I can't with the Warfract footman nor Fallout's power armor nor Nilfgaard's "scrotum" armor, for example.
I'm in favor of bringing something fresh, iconic, but at least believable, the SM having shoulder pads with the size of a fat kid is not very believable nor practical and becomes ugly, suspesion of belief is not limitless.

>>96296041

To be fair, I think that is fault of 70s/80s Hollywood, just check Conan's, Gordon Flash's armors and customs, etc.

Protecting the power systems underneath the main shell would be fairly important. Applying medieval armor design philosophies to power armor with extensive electrical systems doesn't make sense, because you now have two layers to protect: the person and the electrical system. With medieval armor, you just have to protect the person.

Also, the Warcraft infantry looks the way it does in other to have a simple silhouette. That matters in a top-down RTS, and you have to consider the needs of the gameplay as well as aesthetics.

>>96296143
And? What about the space marine do you find objectionable?

>>96296233
>the SM having shoulder pads with the size of a fat kid is not very believable nor practical
It's incredibly practical, and you'd know this if you'd ever experienced the design for what it was intended: painting miniatures.

Why are you even here?

Trying to understand what OP is whining about.

>>96295963 (OP)
God Phobos armor is such gay tryhard garbage. Only saving grace is the Infiltrator helmet.

>>96296562
It’s fine stop complaining

>>96296364
Don't get me wrong, I get the point about RTS and miniatures, my issue is when you portray that in shows, films (like Stormwind soldiers in the Warcraft movie), first / third person games (I should have clarified that, my apologies).
