Suggestion: Fanservice Pack

Current◊ is okay, but a little bland. I found this◊ while browsing a certain thead. We could use parts of it if the whole is too big. Opinions?

What about that Ivy pic◊ from that discard Ykttw?

It's on MsFanservice.Video Games by IP decision.

That does work better than the current, but it's gonna take some judicious cropping and rearranging to get it to work. Maybe we could build our own version using those static pics and new text.

The idea in the OP is not bad, but that tacked on text with the MS Paint arrows is just horrible. Plus I'm not sure how to rearrange it, maybe just three versions in a line? Or 2x2? And we shouldn't use too much text.

Oh, and there's also Amanda Waller's reboot: [1]◊

Sadly, my image editing skills suck. Here are pictures from the games chronologically in case we want to try making it from scratch. [1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊ [4]◊[5]◊.

sorry, I used only the 4 pre-edit pics (so the 4th one was left out), but here's a 2x2 arrangement w/o text: [1]◊

But I'm thinking maybe just the first and the last versions should be enough?

Also, Zuko from Avatar is listed as an example. Maybe it would be a good idea to have a male be the page image for a gender neutral fanservice page for once?

That's nice and don't worry, not all of them seem necessary. The first and last might be enough too...

That's a decent start, but using the full figures (so to speak) makes the features kinda indistinct. Maybe just from the waist or thighs up on all of them?

Well, the skirts stay pretty much the same length, so I think waist up should be good. Is the combination of those 4 characters good for that too then? Or should we exclude something other than 6.4? There's no a lot of difference between 6.2 and .3, for example, so we could swap .2 for .3, and .3 for .4?

It does kind of bug me though that the first one has a very different perspective, but I couldn't find a better pic from that game.

I think the 2x2 arrangement is good.

I think you could go for the images from Soul Blade, Soulcalibur2, 3 and 4. That would be images 1, 3, 4 and 5 in my post.

Here is Zuko, if anyone is interested. Mostly he just got a different hair cut though.

I'm going to try to work on that Sophitia collage tonight if I get time.

How's this?

EDIT: Hmmm...those pics artifacted when I cropped them. If this gets a consensus , I can see if I can rebuild it and have it come out better, unless someone beats me to it.

Could that use labels to show it's a progression? Like MsFanservice.Video Games.

I like the structural similarity to the image on that page. Could make them identical relatively easily. Is that a good idea?

I don't think it would be a problem...definitely could use the labels. The Ivy pic is all about her boobs; the Sophitia pic has both her cup size increase and her clothes overall becoming more scant and less protective, as well as her appearance changing.

The SC example on that page says of the female characters, "If their breasts don't get bigger, their default outfits get smaller." Or both.

Looks good.

It also illustrates the trope.

Sadly true. >.<

I'm good with Rodney's version.

Except for Mi-na.

I support Rodney's version.

I love her expression in the last panel...it's like she's looking up at the programmers and thinking "Please, no more, my back is killing me."

I think we have our caption!
