Con Artists: A Fanart Series Celebrating Cool and Notable Girls in Video Games
A user on Reddit is currently working on an exciting fanart series that showcases a variety of cool, notable, and unique girls in video games. While the artist has already started featuring some characters, they are now seeking suggestions for the next installment of the series.
Among the characters already chosen for the series are Lydia from Skyrim, Yuna from Final Fantasy X, and Claire Redfield from Resident Evil. However, other users have proposed a plethora of additional characters, including Lt. Ellen Ripley from Alien, Morrigan from Dragon Age, and many more.
The artist acknowledges the suggestions and responds to one by saying, "Yuna's already on the list, and I have her partially planned." They express their uncertainty about the Resident Evil characters but show gratitude for the inclusion of Claire and Rebecca. They also admit their surprise at not having included Samus Aran from Metroid yet, stating, "I'm shocked I didn't put her in already, tbh."
One user expresses their enthusiasm for Morrigan, calling her their favorite action heroine. Another user mentions their admiration for Clementine from an unnamed game and upvotes the post.
Other character suggestions include Rogue and Panam from Cyberpunk 2077, Judy and Klassje from Disco Elysium, Commander Shepard from the Mass Effect series, and Ellie from The Last of Us.
The artist explains that each girl in the series will be depicted in black and white with one accent color. They have already begun working on several of the characters and provide updates on which ones are in progress and which ones are still under consideration.
"Bayonetta's on the list," they reveal, mentioning their uncertainty about which version to choose. They express their fondness for Ellie from The Last of Us but are unsure about including blue characters in the series. They express interest in Cate Archer but are hesitant about including a Hotline Miami character.
"I have a list of characters I'm adding to my list," the artist shares, explaining that they are incorporating characters from the suggestions they have received. They mention the inclusion of Cortana from Halo and provide a glimpse into the extensive list, which features characters such as Faith from Mirror's Edge, Solanum from Outer Wilds, Anne from Trespasser, Sortiara from Soul Sacrifice, and various characters from Don't Starve Together and Suikoden V.
The artist expresses their gratitude for all the suggestions and assures everyone that they will add them to the list. However, they note that they may not be able to feature all of them due to their workload as a solo artist. They also mention that they are already considering characters from the suggestions they have received.
Tracer from Overwatch is a popular suggestion among users, and the artist confirms that Tracer is indeed on the list. Other suggestions include Sniper Wolf or The Boss from Metal Gear Solid, I-No from Guilty Gear, Lady Maria from Bloodborne, Ellie from The Last of Us walking into a tripwire, Vyse and Aika from Skies of Arcadia, and Kassandra from Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
One user expresses their appreciation for the inclusion of Samus, highlighting her significance as a strong female character. Another user simply comments, "Smash." The artist thanks everyone for their compliments on the coloring.
Responding to a suggestion, the artist confirms that Kassandra was already on the list and mentions that Cortana was also included.
