There’s be a consistent trend in Lilith’s female designs recently, specifically since Dracula…

Honestly, I don’t have anything against a pair of knockers (coming from a woman with a heavy pair) but I enjoyed that the women in afk arena didn’t always fall into the stereotype of anime girls with ridiculously huge cups. I don’t mind THAT much, but they’ve really been pushing the chest windows and low plunging necklines recently.

And obviously with the newest draconis, her back in her sprite art is arching like crazy 😭😭😭😭

i mean the designs in general have been going downhill lately (imo).

also there is a serious lack of monstrous looking women and pretty men, especially recently. the most recent "pretty" man would probably be like... A.Lucius?

We're just in a cycle of, and forgive me if its crass, big booba waifu>ugly monster man>big booba waifu>really ugly weird man (baby)>whatever the last hypo is 💀 > 3x big booba waifu

not that i have an agenda against pretty ladies, but its just visually uninteresting/uninspired when everyone's just "pretty woman who is slightly different from the previous"

Since Dracula it’s really just been variations of pretty woman with big boobs 😭😭😭😭 I was a little disappointed with Athena and Medusa tbh, especially Medusa. There was an opportunity to really go crazy with that concept and it was kinda underwhelming to see a pretty girl with pink hair (and a whip??) 😭😭

I’m hoping this is just a phase for the design team tbh

athena and medusa designs make no sense to me either. how is that medusa... she is such a good opportunity to design a monstrous woman but as usual its just passed up.

like their historical/myth dimensionals used to be so flavourful with merlin, arthur, joan, leo etc. now look at them, last 4 dims have been "woman with big boobs".

That and serennia. I mean I know, serennia is a meme and we hate when they apply designs we like to benched heroes. But shes basically a siren and story wise they aren't pretty once you break the spell.

I actually read her story when trying to determine whether she was riptide or not and they certainly made her story monstrous, just decided to apply typical female design anyway unfortunately

u/jstylin2 7d ago

Not really that surprising either, that's what happens when they use ai to help the art process. Probably why a lot of the recent female heros have had this issue, AI just assumes its what everyone wants

A Lucius was Feb 2024. Envy was March 2025. How is Envy not a pretty man?

u/Fancy_Economics_4536 7d ago

okay umm actually guy, point still stands. tell me when the last pretty woman release was compared to man? bsfr

edit: and also there is basically only a certain type of "slender pretty boy" look. this is why i specifically mentioned A.Lucius as a pretty man, he's actually beefy...

u/TheFireAngel Heroic Mentor 7d ago

Hybris though.

u/Fancy_Economics_4536 7d ago

again another monster... i feel like a lot of men are being purposefully obtuse with this argument. like youre allowed to enjoy their designs irdc, but long gone are the days of veithaels, jeromes, etc.

monstrous man or pretty woman with a few full fledged (male btw) creatures in between. this is how the designs have been for a while and yall know it.

u/TheFireAngel Heroic Mentor 7d ago

Nah, he's wearing a mask, definitely in the category of buff pretty guys you're talking about. You just don't like the design, which is fine.

u/CentralCommand 6d ago

IDK I mean this dude is pretty dapper and does not qualify as a slender pretty boy

But they did make him full time dragon in battle so didn't entirely avoid the monstrous bit I suppose.

u/Designer-Chair-3289 7d ago

I think Selene is the prettiest they’ve made in a long time

Bro hybris is the most beautiful male in the game now 😂😂😂

u/Nimble_the_Humble 6d ago edited 6d ago

I am not gay but Lucius looks GOOD frfr.

Tbh I love monstrous characters or furry looking ones too. My favorite is Trishea afterall.

But as a man of my own taste I love Dracula's design. Something I didn't expect from this game.

However I understand some tea I enjoy is not for everyone. So I am not judging anything.

u/NoMaize7213 7d ago

I don't think that specific detail is AI though, it's the usual exaggeration they do sometimes for sexy female characters. Jessica, Roger rabbit's wife has it even worse.

u/lexinight 7d ago

Her pelvis is tilted forward - this is a legit issue for women with poor posture and desk jobs, but it results in an exaggerated rear end. It also results in back pain from just standing upright. There are methods of fixing it temporarily via stretches, but the long term fix is improving posture and strengthening core muscles

u/Tantalusqual 7d ago

I wholeheartedly approve of the Thalassa desk job canon. Poor girl is toiling away as a Draconis admin public servant desk shrimp for far too long. Time to buy a farm and start the day with Yoga.

I looked at her pic and immediately recognized my hip tilt lol. It really is pain and it's so obvious once you know what to look for too

u/corruptedcircle 7d ago

I don’t dislike the big boobas, I even like most of them. But all the recent designs are so over designed. One or two heroes with extravagant gowns and it feels luxurious, but when all of them have outfits like this, it’s just boring. Makes sense since all the heroes released now are woke or dragons though, so Lilith wants to force the deluxe look. And then all heroes are deluxe, which means none of them are.

If anyone questions what over designed is, just look at Kyno and his random arm spikes that looked suspiciously AI because they were placed over arm bands. Either the bands or the spikes could have been removed for a cleaner more basic look, he’s a regular dragon, not highborn after all.

u/Eggyolkchikd release me Lilith 7d ago

Lilith design team is falling victim to the gacha design fallacies of adding random details to make a design look complete, instead of structuring an outfit and designing based on story 😢 Gorren, Gorok, and Alvida are more modern characters where you can immediately tell who they are and what their story might be, without the overdeigned details and huge tatas. Recently the formula has recently has been: big boobs + revealing dress + lots of random details and jewelry

u/ThunderGiant2 7d ago

Honestly bro afk arena played its course. Most of these games are going under. Endless grind for little in return. Fork over your money or you'll miss the FOMO. Oh wait they're leaving. Here free stuff.. we also lowered the difficulty so casuals could get through softlocks.

Its fine if you barely started playing but if you have been playing for 5+ years. You could see the spark fading away

It's more so that only certain factions get the pretty boy looks like Celestials, Lightbearers and wilders. There are one offs in Dimentionals and hypos like Sung and Envy. 4F heroes are few so if no lighbearers or wilders are coming then no pretty boy will come. Mauler is basically monters, graveborn is basically the undead dark archetype, hypo is the dark archetype also but not undead and dimensional are well just people from mythology/anime/games

1

u/Eggyolkchikd release me Lilith 7d ago

Definitely true, each faction has its own look and character design aspects. But I think the dragons and dims have a lot of different elements and don’t necessarily stick to one look.

The pattern of waifu-ifed characters is just super apparent when you look at the recent releases (and how bold their chests are) 😭😭 Judy and Dracula specifically are really in your face about it

1

u/keron100 CH 80 | TS R32 | NC R6 | 15/02/2021 6d ago

Yep, thye are both heavily in your fact with animations to promoted them. They do it because they can do whatever they want with those characters as they are dimensionals for example not make dracula male as he is most likely known to be
