ParticipantI think that the idea remains – despite the fact that demographic surveys comprehensively prove it to have been false since 2000 and becoming more inaccurate as time passes – that the majority of gamers are adolescent boys… and I think after the Tomb Raider franchise lost its way, the pneumatic females fell out of favour and so we returned to the grizzly bad asses… I'm sure we'll have another round of Croftets in a while.
I think thats a good assesment, and I know exactly what you mean. With each generation more and more girls are playing games, but the 00s were way more male orientated than the 90s I think in terms of movie heroes and game heroes. Then again the 90s were alot more progressive… Anyway, I'd like to see some grizzly female action too though, Its so rare to see a big gal on screen or in game in a positive light (though I know they do exist, the very few occurancs for is just not enough. 🙂 )

Bullet Witch (on Xbox360) is one example (and it's a pretty fun game, too).
I was really interested in bullet witch, it was actually one of the reasons I bought an xbox, but it got such bad reviews, so I stayed away from it. Were the reviews just biased? This week I finally bought perfect dark zero, and the girl at the counter warned me that it was the worst game ever made on the 360 and many people had returned it in disgust. I took it home, and I've been playing it ever since. I like it better than any other shooter including gears of war. But I seriously wonder if some folks can't have fun playing as a female character…

Sci-Fi fantasy movie I had finished the script to a few years ago, just need to figure out how to make it happen.
I would watch that and buy a copy of the DVD for all of my friends! It would be nice, considering every other time I see a female bodybuilder on screen she's usually being used as a grotesque oddity (like in the cell or that axe commercial).
ParticipantFinally they are taking her more seriously in the muscle department. I've always hated the supermodel with greatsword tradition. It just doesn't happen like that. We already have to suspend our disbelief at her chainmail bikini, lol.
ParticipantSexy and scary all at once! Good work. 🙂
Impressive.
I think she's impressively scary in a sexy way… Forgive me, I inherited Norwegian humor. Thanks for the comments though!
ParticipantBeautiful rendition, Matt! You captured her warrior spirit well.
Thanks Mikazuki!
ParticipantProof positive that muscular girls have the best curves.
ParticipantAwesome! Your works have always inspired me!
ParticipantTo demonstrate my enormous ego, here's my site ;D
ParticipantAwesome work saint icon. I love the shimmering of her skin and boobies!
