Anyone ever draw or find artwork of someone's interpretation of what Kasumi looks like without her hood up?
Not that I know of...but me and AZ Rush thought Kasumi would look something like this :
It seems like BioWare is having a difficult time designing Asian characters - I mean, you'd think that at least half of the humans you run into would be Asian or part-Asian (Kaidan?). Maybe it's the Unreal engine?MaaZeus wrote...
Yeah. Though IMHO her eyes are definetly asian and her make-up probaply even pronounce it, but there is definetly something western in her. Atleast if real life japanese are concerned, Anime characters in the other hand tend to have Kasumish body shape. Her eyes, while quite round, are still angled indicating that she is mostly asian.AZ RUSH wrote...
If you look closely at some of Andaius' pictures, her eyes actually look sort of western. Nobel and I were thinking that she might only be half Japanese. Also, her structure doesn't look 100% Japanese either.Pacifien wrote...
Nah, I'd think Kasumi would look more Japanese than that. The eyes are distinctly western.
It's not really the slant of the eyes that I'm looking at. If you look at a lot of Japanese faces, you'll notice that their eyes lack the skin folds that more western style faces have. Though if you have a mixed culture, which the Mass Effect universe implies is far more predominant, then Kasumi would likely have slanted eyes with the skin folds of westerner.MaaZeus wrote...

Excellent point:wizard:Pacifien wrote...
Anyway, I had this conversation with a friend of mine where he mentioned he didn't like how they kept pushing Kasumi as your Japanese ninja stereotype because humans are supposed to be this mixed culture society. But I figure the more you mix cultures, the more some people need to cling to the traditional for fear that such traditions are lost to the masses. Where would the universe be if not for Kasumi's grandmother keeping the tradition of ramen alive?

faith from mirrors edge was apparently Eurasian, so if Kasumi is half Japanese then she would look something like that.AZ RUSH wrote...

I agree with the guy who said they need to get a decent asian look in the game, I tried creating an asian character in game, dear God the eyes in the CC look terrible, I cant make a good looking asian shepard to save my life, then again I usually suck at creating characters
The eyes on that face make her look more like a dark-haired Caucasian than Asian.Lord Exar wrote...

That's the closest I've seen anyone come to an Asian looking face. I love it and I use it for my female Vanguard.
But I agree with you guys that Kasumi probably isn't 100% of Japanese descent, but I get the feeling that there aren't many "pure blood" people in the Mass Effect universe. The description of Anderson from the novels seems to support that. He's described as a big mish-mash of different ethnicities and races or whatever. Kasumi is probably like that.
That's why I said that's the closest I've seen. You're right, it's far from being Asian, but it's the best someone looking for an Asian Shepard is going to get, I'd say.Ecael wrote...

Like mentioned previously, Asian-type eyes don't seem to fit properly with the whole blinking mechanic. It produces that weird flicker whenever an NPC like Maeko Matsuo narrows her eyes or blinks.
Hopefully they work on asian feautres in ME3, because there may not be many asians in ME dosent mean people wont want to make asian characters, also now kasumis is in, and damn she better be back as a squaddie (or LI? hopeflly) so now they kinda have more of a reason.trucoolbrees wrote...
I don't believe the artists for Mass Effect are having an easy time conveying the Asian features. If I remember correctly, in ME 1, the security guard on Noveria (the one who stops you when you first land) was of Asian descent, but her features didn't really convey that. You basically have to listen to some of her dialect to notice.
Everyone being one race is a high possibiblity, increased immigration and all that, we are in a very diverse place. However that dosent mean in ME there would be everyone mixed race, there could be people who are pure asian, caucasian, african and hispanic. There could have been a colony started by all japanese people that is still full of japanese people, same for other cultures, its not a possibility to rule out, especially in the ME universe.Pacifien wrote...
I actually thought Maeko Matsuo did cover some Asian features rather well. But when Revelation
describes Anderson, it does stress the homogenization of various racial
features. Still, while I think a mixed racial background has become the
norm in the future, think there is still some room for your more
classic racial appearances.
I've been wondering about the
differences you're likely to find from someone who lives on earth
versus those that are spacefaring. Kasumi struck me as someone who was
born and raised in Japan, but she obviously took to knowing the ropes
of alien society quite quickly. But there are going to be those who
never see an asari in person.
