    What do you guys think of Menphina's design?

    As my character's patron deity, I can't help but be a bit disappointed. I know she is one of the youngest among the twelve, and I also don't think she has to be super sexy even with her title being 'The Lover' (this can be interpreted several ways), but I can't help but feel a bit short-changed when thinking about the designs of the gods we've faced thus far, whom I thought were all top notch. Especially Rhalgr.

    The hairstyle, lack of eyebrows, almost pre-adolescent girlish figure. Her design seems more fitting for an entity like Nymeia, not the sister of Azeyma.

    Well, maybe she'll have some awesome mechanics.

    Happy New Year everyone.

    Honestly from what I've seen of her she has one of the most uncanny models the game has done it's really...wrong and I don't think it's helped with as you say the pre-adolescent feel to it

    I like her because she looks like an alien, which is fitting because of her connection with the moon.
    It's Althyk who looks like a complete mess, a discount Byregot if you will.

    I think it's quite clear what some people think...

    I was very disappointed as well...She’s been my deity since the beginning too and whenever I imagined her she always had a similar color scheme but was gentle in a mature way, long simple robes with no sleeves, maybe a thick side braid.

    They made her look a bit...mockingly in my opinion. I completely agree with the adolescent factor and it creeped me out not just how young she was but the eyes and face look very off, almost like not much thought was put into it, certainly not the image of love I envisioned.

    Here are some examples of what I thought we would get:

    They could have made a prettier alien ;___; I am a massive fan of no pupils but not the way they did

    I think its pretty obvious what they did. She's associated with Miqo'te, so they went "Catgirls? Better make her all cutesy and uwu."

    I love her design. Her eyebrows are very pale, and honestly she reminds me of a greek statue - the ones where the women have just draped on clothing. Their bodies are very formless because its the suggestion of what could be there that is the focus.

    There's definitely something wrong about her face, but she does have eyebrows. A bit hard to see, but they're there.

    She's very ugly. Her face is weird and her head seems too small for her body. I don't mind her cute look but this is not it.
    I also thought that was Nymeia instead of Menphina when I first saw the image.
