So I see Dragoonlordz took my pic and tried to butcher it.. lol.. here is what he should have posted..

It's a close approximation of what the statue will look like (if they use her ME1/ME3 coloration.

I'm pretty sure it won't be that light colour and with pink nose. I think will be slightly darker skin (maybe not quite as dark as I used), eyes will have more than one shade of blue with liner/lines to define them, the lips will be more likely purple than pink too.

Thats what I think.

Think simplier, I'm a Liara hater;)

Fair enough... Sarcasm can be hard to see on the webs.

Are you an artist? I have done a bit of Liara art and I have accurate pallets for her coloration. The colors I used are accurate from ME1 and what appears to be what they are going back to for ME3. You don't realize that the horrible in-game lighting does really bad things to colors, especially for Liara in many locations. So stop friggin nit picking on a sample/approximation and accept that people just don't like this thing. Sheesh...

What are you talking about where do I deny that some people don't like this.. The colour palette you use for doodles might not be the same as the one they use. Why is that so hard to understand, the same reason they didn't use any of your doodles for it's actual shape and design. In the end they use what they wish in the style they wish to use it, and bashing my opinion that a skin tone may be darker on the retail product doesn't do you any justice.

Never understood why 90% of anime girls have the face of a 12 year old.

<_<

This is still going on I see. Guys, this wasn't supposed to be an accurate portrayal of Liara. It's part of their Bishoujo line, which means they "animefied" her up. Yes, that means big breasts and a younger looking face. That's just what this line represents. I mean, have you guys looked at the other figurines in that line on their website? They all have the same face. That's just how it is with the bishoujo line.

I don't see much point in getting all worked up over this and calling it a "monstrosity". It's sort of petty. It's just a lump of plastic or resin or whatnot. If they wanted an accurate portrayal of Liara, they would have made it a part of the ArtFX line or the Fine Art line at least. It's not so I wasn't expecting perfection. If you guys want an accurate portrayal of her, try to petition to have a Liara figurine made in the ArtFX or Fine Art line Koto has. You'll probably be much more satisfied with the results. I don't know how these were commissioned however so I don't know if it's possible, unfortunately.

Bioware should organize a contest where artists sculpt ME characters and can choose from.
I know I would sculpt one if I felt like it, but never been a fan of doing fanart work if it wasnt for the lulz and caricatures.

Yes:


And it looks 100 times better than this "Liara" monstrosity, no amount of painting can fix this model

[Lenimph]

I wonder what the backside of the "Elektra" figurine looks like...

*clears throat* You know... for research purposes...

EDIT: 
Also... about the big ****** thing... in most animes I've seen "foriegn" non-asain girls typically get exagerated breasts.  I don't know if that has influenced the design but I'm just throwing it out there.

I like how you went out of your way to only cut out that one sentence and not the one after that explained the reason why I wanted you to look at the other figurines, which was to say they all have the same face which this one certainly does. Also, I never said paint was going to "fix" or make you guys like it. I very much doubt it in fact from all that I've read.

In any case, I find this overtly negative backlash sort of unwarranted, seeing as this is just a prototype and they put up the pic to get some feedback on it. And boy did they get some feedback on it...

At least Liara doesn't have a penis roof underneath her legs. 

[Ciryx]

I have nothing against huge boobs, or even plain sexualization in videogames. I personally dont like it much but thats just me. Everyone there own cup of tea.

But I wonder how anyone should ever take Videogames as serious as other entertainment media if almost every female character in them gets more and more "idealized" with each new generation of said game/merchandise.

I dont like the sculp of her at all. Its simply not Liara, its just an oversexed Asari for teenagers on an hormon rampage imo.

I jumped that part because i disagree, looking at the close up pictures they have different eyes and lips depending on the model. And even when i like Kotobukiya's Bishoujo statues, i think this one is inferior.

Sorry if i offended you, wasn't meant as an attack

1. Never said that.
2. True, they may use a different pallet, but moving further away from what Liara looks like is still moving in the direction of more rejection by the intended customer base (unless the intended market is Japan).
3. What the hell are you talking about? My doodles? The artist used the same exact shape and design that was used for almost every other statue in that series, go look at the photos and compare them.
4. Yes, they will, but what they end up with must be approved by BioWare, and BioWare is asking for opinions and from the looks of it at this point, there are significantly more complaints than not.
5. I never bashed your opinion, you keep nit-picking on slight shade variations of an unfinished prototype statue in a low res pic that was shaded in 2.5 minutes.
6. Then you should know what lighting intensity and shade does to color. You think the coloration I used is wrong? Thats fine, you are entitled to your opinion. I know it's pretty close, I have the textures siting here as a reference.
So lets just agree to disagre on things, but stop nit-picking something completely insignificant.

And my appologies to the thread for dragging it bit off-topic.

Why are her breasts enormous? They already grew 3 cup sizes from ME1 to ME2, why add another 2? And her face is off.

Amazing how many people on these forums take a liking to this hentai-schoolgirl-pedophiliac fetish. It's all unnecessary exaggeration. Exaggeration that was never meant for certain characters.

After your earlier responses in this thread people should assume that your idea of Hentai is pretty off.

Let me get something straight. Are you trying to say that the Liara anime design was because o the different design and colors the artist is used to? I just want to be sure.

Ideas...  I would never tell them that they need to add a crouching femshep using the omniblade right next to her at all! 

Are you listening Bioware?!  Here's my advice: If you're going to perv it you might as well go all the way!

This is relevant to my interests.

[endermaryn]

the figurine is a cute idea. other than fixing her boobs, they also just need to fix her pistol grip and bend her arms slightly. that'll go a long way to making her look more realistic. but right now, she deffinitly is not holding that weapon correctly.
and i would post the details on the facebook page but i can't figure out how to comment on there. >.<

When examining the model of Liara, you can plainly see that it's influenced by Hentai. The features and physique that have been discussed over and over in this thread.
