Wanting more characters bodies and options

[lilysmith10]

Sorry if it’s in the wrong spot

I’m not sure about anyone else but I do wish there were more options on bodies for characters. You know, kids, teens, cripples, fat people, extra.

Just seeing who else agrees and disagrees.

I 100% agree! I don’t think most people look anything like the Episode characters. I really enjoyed seeing the Athletic body type used in Eclipsis. I wish we had more options. Not just with body types, but also with customization like hair, facial features, makeup, etc. I think it would be really neat if Episode came out with something like the Sims where you can edit your body.

100% agree, it’s difficult to create stories where people have insecurities if the characters look the way they do and it doesn’t make sense that people have been asking for this since the very beginning of the episode app and they haven’t done anything about it

True but I feel like people will abuse this feature in a negative way Like people will probably be putting the plus sized people or the “fat people “ as the “nerds,” or setting stereotypes for them. I’m just saying

[fashionforluve]

Possibly…But that isn’t real life. I know lots of “popular” people who are considered “fat” and “ugly” and many “nerds” who are “beautiful” and “thin”. I would love to see the media break out of the stereotypes. The truth is just the mass majority doesn’t look like Barbie and Ken dolls. It’s one thing if the art style is more cartoony, but if it’s supposed to resemble real people, then they should have more options. I forgot to put this but I completely agree with kids. It’s just weird seeing “children” in Episode who have boobs, abs, and weird body proportions.

Can show support for those features:

Body Shapes:

FEATURE: More Body Shapes

So when I'm working on episode there's something i've realized. All of my female characters have the exact same body and so do the males. Episode should include more body shapes! It would be really cool if we had little sliders in the character creation area to adjust their weight, height, bust, waist, muscles, butt, it would also be cool if we could make it so they were able to be missing an arm or leg. Please consider this!! Any other agreements?

Adding children and teens:

CHARACTERS: Adding children

Hello! I hope I’m not repeating any topic. It would be really great to add normal children (kids, teens) as characters. It is really frustrating to depict regular characters as children, because it looks so unnatural. Support?

Disabilities:

CLOTHING: Prothetics - Disabilities

CLOTHING: Prosthetics. Make a regular pant or shirt, but recolor one of the sleeves or…leg sleeves?..to look like a prosthetic limb. Maybe add a glove or a shoe to complete the illusion. In the push for diversity, I feel like people with disabilities or otherwise just unhealthy bodies have kind of been overlooked. Letting stories represent people with disabilities is long overdue, honestly. Especially since the current contest has an image of a superhero in a wheelchair, but creating that kind …

Adding a wheelchair:

OVERLAY: Wheelchair - Disabilities

OVERLAY: A wheelchair. Just. Please. We can just use regular sitting animations, the wheelchair doesn’t have to be animated (although if that could be done, wow, that would be amazing). So many people use wheelchairs, it’s a shame not to have one when it would be just as easy as a chair to create. In the push for diversity, I feel like people with disabilities or otherwise just unhealthy bodies have kind of been overlooked. Letting stories represent people with disabilities is long overdue, hon…

Have a good day!

I completely agree. I don’t like how every character has a perfect body with no imperfections.

Btw, please don’t use the term “cripple,” it’s a slur.

SUPPOOOOOORRRRRRT!!

I agree. In real life everyone is different so I think they should have things like that in episode to adjust different things
