male miqo'te - How would you like it to look?

[Nabiri]

Male miqo'te look exactly as I hoped they would. ^-^
And the one with white hair.. he looks better with facial hair. haha. I say he's manly enough.

Besides that, I think there are already enough uber manly men. We could use a little change. I want something I find attractive too. :x

Edit: I'd be pretty disappointed if the male miqo'te clans differed in body size/muscle tone/manliness(?)...
If the one I like better ends up being the buffer, gross one... /sadness lol

Hey guys, I'm sure you've all seen the concept art for the new races... So I noticed in the roadmap, they show the concept of the male miqote to be a bit... too feminine... In all honesty I wouldn't see myself changing to that race if they looked like a girly guy.

Now hear me out... Wouldn't you, the people wanting the male miqote race to be a playable character, wish for it to be a little bit more manly? Like imagine a male miqote with similar body features like the famous Bruce lee had a firm core, toned. However his chest size is too big to be that one of a male miqote... Here's my depiction of what a male miqote should look like:

The shoulders would be broad, the chest size not too much, the core would be toned and a bit built, but still slim. The Forearms could be a bit more broad or just the normal size. I wish for the image of the male miqote to become more bad ass in general. To have similarities of the race, just not look like a girly boy.

Note: It's a quick doodle, just wanted to emphasize on the body's form.

Edit: At first glance I thought they looked a bit too feminine. But we haven't seen the animations and mannerisms yet, so I'll hold back on any further critique. Let's see how it unfolds in the future.

Discuss further on your thoughts bout the concept!

To be honest, I personally love it. I'm switching to male miqote BECAUSE they're pretty feminine for guys. We've got the entire spectrum in the game from really manly (Roegs) to steroids (Highlanders) to normal (Midlanders) and finally Shota.
And to be honest, I'd like a race that matches the way I look as well. That is to say, I'm not very manly. lol

One of the concept arts shown is probably what I'll end up picking if it's actually implemented. The one drawn from the side with what looks like a hoody.

I know I probably wont get what I want I still thought I would put it out there.

It would be cool if manqote had more canine features. I know this won't be how they take the race but here is an idea SE while working on the features for the manqotes, add some more canine looking features, more prominent fangs, more wolf like ears and tails, maybe some more angular facial features, anything to give more options for people who are not fans of cats (like me).

I will say that I will be playing as a manqote regardless of whether or not these options are here or not, but it would be a great addition for anyone who would like an option other than cat.

I think cat people should remain cat people, but it'd be pretty damn cool to see a canine race too.

Eye of the beholder.

"The buffer" gross one is the way I'd like it to go. I'll pass on the wimpy looking, sissy-stringy yaoi body type cat people. Hopefully they will broaden the spectrum of body types to fit everyones personal preferences since they're updating the graphics engine. I was super disappointed with the disgustingly low level of variety when it comes to creating your character in 14. Compared to certain other games the lack of choice is almost laughable.

Again - as aforementioned - hopefully they will give us more choices to satiate everyones preferences.

If they want to add different body types, the choices should be available for all races. Maybe 3 different body types at least would be good. Though I'd always stick to the same type. I don't like muscles. XD Even the male midlander hyurs are a bit too bulky for my tastes. Would be cool if they had options for all. ^-^

[Yeldir]

I would like a huge, grotesque lion man, bulging with muscle and hair.

[JackDaniels]

If you think "cat man" yea, doesn't sound too manly. But you think more along the lines of Rei from Breath of Fire 3. It's pretty bad ass. It's the silent killer attitude/look that sets him off. I can see the game still going through with the effeminate male miqote, I wouldn't mind. Hell I'd probably still try it out lol. I want to see what the community thinks.

Effeminate Male Miqote? or Bad Ass Male Miqote?

I vote bad ass male miqo

I would like a huge, grotesque lion man, bulging with muscle and hair.
