Great job! People see a male because of their expectations for female character design (like the characteristics you stated). Β She clearly has a feminine figure and eyes. Β This is definitely a step towards more dynamic, interesting female characters!

I agree with your concept. I'm developing a game where the female characters wear similar body armor to the males, there's no "boob windows" on their armor for no reason. It makes no sense.

I totally agree with you. I don't like all of the unrealistic characteristics. I get a lot of inspiration from these kind of drawings and things like that ruin it for me.
P.S. I could tell it was female by the physique

Yeah I agree, I too fall in the predictable characteristics too often. I should give it a try.
-Her eyebrows gave her away, btw. X3

no no. it's definitely female... i don't understand people sometimes... its easy to tell male from female... even from far away... look at how the hips flare out... guys hips don't do that...
and you're right when it comes to females carrying a large gun that has to be at least 3 times their body weight... i always see those and think "WTF?!?!?!?" (^^,)

i can see it as a girl but her eyes are to big for her face and you can see any hair in the helmet no one can put a helmet on with out a little heir getting through but love your work

I'm liking the armor design a lot, female or male. Hoping for a melee style steampunk fighter.

the main problem is that it doesn't seem feminine enough to be female. too muscular a build, the armor that is. you also block the chest which is the most obvious place you would notice gender. the hands are pretty big too. you should try refining your pieces and think about what makes what you're drawing. It looks like you might be drawing with a mouse too. Good show! I've done some pieces with a mouse and they're horrible so it's good you're working with it. But something to think about is what you're comfortable with. If you did traditional art before and you really want to accelerate in art I'd suggest getting a tablet to draw with. I could be completely wrong and if I am I apologize. It's a good piece though. just missing a few things.

Can i see a demonstration? I'm just starting out, and I would to see you put your critique of this piece to use! You seem to have a vast knowledge of art and design!

I'm an observer at the moment sir. I've not talent in my hand yet, nor the patients to try and draw with a mouse, let alone color a piece. believe when I say you've bested me in anything I could draw. but take these artists into consideration: [link] - [link] - [link] When I have the right equipment I'll see what I can do. and hopefully improve.

I don't think she needs a ponytail, I don't think the makeup on her eyes should be shown more than how you made them. I don't think she has to have her arm removed from where it is in order for her to "look" like a woman. Not all women have long hair, not all women look glamorous, ( why would you need to look glamourous when fighting?). Not all women need to show their breasts to show that they are women. It's just how society wants to portray them. I like this.

Thank you AC-Adaline. It seems only few understand this very idea that you've put forth. I totally agree with you.

I was hoping it was female, and am glad I hoped right. I love the design. How it's not blatant breast-molds. It's very subtle and obscure. Awesome <3

I'm not married so I can say this.....
She can wear all the armor she wants, in the kitchen.
Nice work!
I think people mistake her for a male because the face is obscured and the most noticeable woman-parts are covered by the arms.

Maybe you should give the design more feminine qualities without going with the sexy route.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah~ looks a bit more of male, maybe the waist needs to be a tad bigger

This screams to me "Law enforcement." I know I already commented, but it's one of my favorites and I love her look.

Most people are completely unobservant. I never guessed that it was anything other than female.
π: 0 β©: 0
If its counts for anything, I thought it was female from the thumbnail, waist was too thin for a male, and something about the pose of the feet.

A+
If you want to avoid confusion without sexualizing the costume, maybe make the helmet have a retractable visor to show some facial features?
π: 0 β©: 0
I think it's great. It's pretty gender-neutral in my opinion, which is better than bikini-patterned armor, right?
π: 0 β©: 0
soften the visor a bit to show the eyes more.. fantastic job though... I would also recommend putting a little more "dip in the hip" and maybe drop the sidearm a bit to reveal some more of her "upperbody" assuming she's not an "A" cup...
overall well done on making a more realistic female cop!

From the preview I thought she was male, but looking closer I realised that my initial 'he' was really a 'she', so don't worry. (: I do agree with you, it would be nice to see some designs that take practicality into consideration!

I could tell from the eyes that it was a woman. Great design, love it.

I'm with you on this - in fact, several days ago I was complaining to a friend artist about the stupidity of the design of female characters and hom come they never get hit on naked parts of their bodies or never break a heel while running and fighting. And your design is cool.

just add a ponny tale in the back of her head)
π: 0 β©: 0
Hm, no I haven't, what about it?
π: 0 β©: 0
Cool design and you make some good points. With that much gear and armor I can see why folks might think she's a he but it supports your idea that a female character doesn't need the tell tale female characteristics to work. This character is obviously a soldier. Do we need the fact that she's a woman to hit us over the head to be a successful design? I don't think so. good stuff.

What you've written is exactly my thoughts. Thanks for your input!

Anytime. I look forward to seeing more of you stuff!

Well the Right Arm blocks view of the Chest, which would be the only real indication of if that was a Male or Female.
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope. The clue is in the hips and pose.
