Beauty is all just a matter of perspective, as this tragic classic so aptly demonstrates.
The text is actually a heart-rending tale of love’s labours lost:
When I first started playing Oblivion I tried creating just the right sort of big-boobed loli-faced bishoujo I like.
I failed so many times, but eventually after spending half a day at it I came up with this – finally a face I can accept.
With a trembling finger I clicked “finish” on the character creation screen.
Loading soon completed and I saw the character I had created from another angle, and wept.
Right… This is 3D isn’t it? There’s no point in tweaking her face from the front only if the balance is completely off.

Thats why most of the 2ch godesses take more than one pic from themselves. To prove that their are angleproof.
Haha it's impossible to make an attractive character with Oblivion's default character creation.
The furrys can.
furries are just for deviants and must be riduculed and forbidden.
And killed with fire.
Nothing wrong with calling a fictional character sexy.
Even if said character is a bright pink faced lizard wearing a leather bikini.
One side Cutie,
One side Ugly.
Could be worse: Fugly... =(

Makoto Nanaya would like to have a word with you:
http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/777250
10%, not furry.
Aye.
Makoto is 10% by most charts. That doesn't much count when we're talking more about the 90%s.
This is what the average furry in oblivion looks like: http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/773990
As opposed to oblivion's average non-furry alternative of: http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/701062
@jakuryusei
WTF with the second picture? its like... that boy's face being sucked by a vacuum cleaner... it's should have a guro tag in there...
...can't unsee...
That's why in Egyptian version, you make your Oblivion avatar in profile view.
The continuing sagas of maid Lifts-Her-Tail.
@Jakuryusei
Damn you, Jakuryusei. Damn you for showing me the creepy side of the sancom-chan. I shall never be able to sleep soundly again!
Anon 20:40 again
I jsut descovered the /what on the chan. I dare you all to visit /what and get yourself some serious mindfuck. Really, I don't want to be the only loony out there...
no, its possible, just very very difficult.
I managed to make Megan Fox once... toe-thumb and all! :D
This is what we call as laziness give birth to fail-ness... EE for example, because they to lazy to make the story they just repeat the story endlessly... it make such epic fail (and troll included) that destroy the series fame...
Yep, tried countless times already. xD
Bwahahah. It's an alien.
I collapsed to my knees and cried for an hour.
so you are ugly ???
No, he's emotionally fragile.
...due to being so ugly.
No, he realized that he was so ugly, his emotions made fun of him for being ugly... and he couldn't take it.
fixed
I collapsed to my knees and laughed for an hour.
Bethesda, get off your fat asses and hire REAL MODEL ARTISTS AND POLYGON PROGRAMMERS. Also, get rid of that ancient 15+ year old game engine and maybe, just maybe, GET A NEW GAME ENGINE.
That is the core reason why the custom-characters in many RPGs are still very, very bad. Because the top of the line, #1 RPG with Bethesda RPGs uses some of the most aged game engines.
And oh yeah... Get a new motion capture animation staff while you're at it Bethesda.
Man, you're fucking insane aren't you. You have no idea how making money works huh? People are still willing to buy their games, even with the exact same game engine, shitty mo-cap, and shitty story line. As long as the product is still moving off the shelves, there is no reason for the company to change it, that's how business works.
If I want to sell you something that costs me $0.10 to make, and you were willing to buy it for $1.00, why would I upgrade the quality, costing me $0.50 to make it, if you were still only willing to buy it for $1.00? I wouldn't. Because that would be fucking stupid.
I don't care about the business side. Bethesda, as game creators can do better. That's all I'm saying.
but they do not show themselves. D:
The pictures are manipulated.
I noticed something was off and checked. If you compare the two side by side it's easy to see the vertical size of the head in the side view is much smaller than in the front view. This makes it look squashed.
Since manipulation is obvious we can only guess what else was done. Those pics could very well be completely fake.
This kind of problem happens a lot though with face editing, but it does look like he exaggerated it a little. I mean you'd see the double chin from the front.
Possibly a mistake or maybe even intentional, not that it really matters.
You know its not an actual picture of the in game thing and its not supposed to be anything like that, its just an over the top characterization of that situation.
I can talk from personal experience here and that does happen in a lot of this RPG's, the design that seems fine and as close as possible to the loli faced idea ends looking sort of deformed like that.
The author did a good job showing the usual things that end looking wrong with the designed character, the odd double chin, fat cheeks and big lips and long nose and just exaggerated them a bit for humor, satire and emphasis.
Indeed it reeks of fakeness. If Figma can do it properly then they can.
Having said so, that's one hot design in the first pic.
No duh! Oblivion is not a manga-styled game; it looks like this:

The images were drawn as a sketch of the problem he faced. They are not screen shots. Obviously.
Does.... does nobody see that he drew the experience as sort of a comic instead of showing actual screenshots...?
Really?
Yes, except they don't show their faces...
Right. Everywhere but their faces. Goddesses... Hardly.
LOL always remember the power of photoshop dude!! You don't know when will they use it's epic edit
LOL I remember having this while editing my female hero on Oblivion IV. I thought I made a good job until I saw the side view XD
same story i had with Sims 2 and Perfect world online
i lol'd
Perfect World's male faces are hard to edit. They somehow always end up looking strange, to me.
This is why APB is like my favorite game ever. I can actually make a character that has some semblance of being an attractive human being.
+1 to APB (probably the only feature worth a damn..)
plus, The Sims 2 & 3 are really easy to get attractive faces.
..and THIS, ladies and gentlemen (especially gentlemen), is why loli + oppai isn't so..err..let me rephrase that. Loli + DFC = WIN. >;3
Exactly. What the chinese do right now is heresy.
Cannot unsee. =[
so much mental pain.
Should have known to not mess with fate in creating a big-breasted loli.
If reality doesn't collapse around you, those flat-chest lovers will.
We should burn the chinese milk industry.
It IS possible to create an anime style face that works in 3D, it's just bloody hard. That's how all the anime figurines are made. I think Genshiken mentioned that once?
It's also a lot easier when character designers are more 3D-friendly, and their characters make sense in 3D. The 80s and 90s had a plethora of anime in which the profile, 3/4 and side views didn't quite make sense together, and a full rotation animation required their faces to morph. I think it's gotten better since then.
