Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Lauront]

It’s very good art but it’s actually too similar to Roegadyn facially for my tastes. I guess what I’m hoping for is closer to an Au Ra/Elezen hybrid than that. Based on the poll I did a while ago this also seems to be what a lot of people who want a more muscular build are after.

There was another post in the tag that was directly based off of male roegadyn but it was not appropriate to post here. An au ra /elezen hybrid would be good. Au Ra's racial hairstyles would work for the males and I wouldn't mind seeing them reused, minus the horns innate to some of them of course. They probably would limit any new hairs for them to a handful of racial hairstyles again if they follow the new limited pattern they've established now though. Or even worse, link hairstyles to their faces like they did with Hrothgar to further restrict them and force people to buy fantasias to change hair again.

A search on instagram turned up this by @viciousjay.art. I'm sure it'll please those wanting the more rough look.

FLOPPY EARS!!!

I'd be okay with this entirely. In fact, I hope they look like this.

Apparently there was a "male Viera zine" someone is advertising on twitter where even more artists came together to compile their art into a pdf book. However since I don't really trust the online store I will not be buying it for myself and I'm not even sure if it was even legal for them to do so since Viera are something that belong to Square Enix? Anyways while I feel uncomfortable buying it there is still a lot of varied fan art both on insta/twitter/tumblr and I'll try to look for more over time as well as the previews that some of the zine artists posted.

This is one such preview, by @tksnim_art. Again please be cautious before spending money on a product not endorsed by SE that appeared out of the blue.

I'd like for them to look like that.

Yeah, it's a metaphor - this dude been biting the bullet the moment the big bad chad came and picked him up, flexed his muscles and then got down on one knee in front of this young Viera jack.
"It's time to get Jacked, my boy" And then probably proceeded to drag his ass out into the wilderness where for the next multiple decades he's been yeeted to death itself in order to get swoll.

He's biting that bullet with pride. He's the chad now.

Some art of an alpha viera going to the village to find his mate.

I wouldn't mind if male viera were shorter than female viera, but I don't think that's very likely. I wouldn't be opposed to it either way, but I'm just saying. Personally, it would be interesting to me if they were just slightly shorter than the females, but I won't really be disappointed if they're taller.

As for the stuff about fur, it's not really aesthetically pleasing to me. I would tolerate a tuft of fur on the chest, but I hope that would be optional. I'm not a big fan of having fur on the arms and stuff. Honestly, instead of having fur options take up customization space, I rather have a variety of tribal body tattoos to choose from.
