I wish people could compliment our artists without including insults to the current game art. There really is no reason to title this post like that. Not trying to call out OP... It just happens a lot and it makes me sad.

That said, I have no idea where this piece came from but it's awesome for sure. Viv is an amazing artist and I enjoy every bit of work she does for our team. I'm glad you all enjoy her work too! 😁

Don’t get me wrong I do like Morrigan now and am not completely shitting on whoever designed her it’s just sometimes the Gods can be bigger in some aspects. I could have worded the title better. Personally I do think this art is more of my style for not just Morrigan but for the Gods in general I just like it when the hardcore fantasy aspect is pushed further but again I didn’t mean for it to come across as me totally discrediting the original

I understand. It's not a big deal. Just hoping more people here see it and keep it in mind on future posts. I don't think ive mentioned this little pet peeve before so I thought I would.

It's not an insult to state that you think something is better than what we currently have. Sure, the title might have a bit of a negative connotation to it, but it's not like he said "The current model is shit. I wish we had this instead".

If anything, this should be taken as feedback. It's not the best kind of feedback, but feedback nonetheless.

So if i showed up to your job and said "good job snufflebox! but your coworker there is a million times better than you..." - Theres no better way i could phrase that? thats not insulting to you in the least bit?

I agree this is not a very intense example of this - it just happens all the time and its not a good way to build constructive feedback pathways.

Also never said that this was bad feedback? I specifically agreed the artwork is fantastic. Im not gonna promise we will make it as a skin and im def not considering remodeling the morrigan, but i like this artwork and the artist and just wanted to share that - while also providing a small tip on how to make our communications more positive for everyone.
