I'd be ok with Zuriki's if it were to lose the hat and the rosy cheeks. I agree with many of the posters, don't bring cute anime characters in the game. It just doesn't fit.
I think the current models are fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It doesn't fit with the blocky/pixel theme This is really going to turn off many fans and start bringing in those annoying anime obsessed teenagers who turn minecraft into a meme infested shithole. -pubby8

I would like to ask Dock or someone with access to the current froghatgirl skin to give us the skinning template, or atleast a rough sketch of one(Preferrably like they did with the current one, colored/labeled sections), so that we can all see what we'd be working with. That should lower the hate levels a jolly ten fold whenever people see how simple it should be.
Also, nice model there zuriki. Although I'm against the ears, would look too strange on other skins with flatter faces(Unless they'd be like current headwear)
Note for others: The frog-girl is a creation of Dock's. Her name is Rana and has been translated to 2D and 3D concept works. The model shown here was likely a previous indicator that Dock had been chosen for the job, as the M3K support test shows the multiple Rana models running about.

Regardless, the concept art is old and merely a placeholder for what is in store for us. We must wait and see, and not simply whine on and on. No cherry-picking allowed here sir, and Notch is doing his best to suffice compromises.

You could just say the "regular" model to be not be so vague. It makes you look insecure, insidious, and generally ill-trusted.
People need to get over Dock's assignment as the official artist, lest it lead to a massive fault through our community: "classicists" and "modernists" of the like.

Hi pubby8. I appreciate you taking time out to research my artwork, but I should inform you that those pieces of artwork are 6-8 years old. My 'about me' section was written back in 2002, I have neglected to update it. Nothing there has anything to do with minecraft at all, so I don't think it's relevant.
I ensure the community that the new characters will be easy to customise.
Seriously I'm going to post a pic tomorrow, just to define your awesomeness again. I have the froggirl somewhere in one of my "how to draw cartoons etc." books.
I own one of Dock's books, Digital Manga Techniques (dutch translation by Librero) and its AWESOME. Will make a pic tonight!!
It's the exact same thing with ears tacked to the side. Premium members can switch between the new player model and the old one: Ears or no ears!
How does this open the character to any more customization? Look at those crossed eyes. That fat lipped blankness. This model gives us nothing new. I want a face with at least the same resolution as a block, a resolution that can actually be worked with. I can't believe I'm calling 16^3 workable, but compared to the 'old' model, that's a wall sized mural.

I was talking about the texture from his old zombie game based off of china wars because calling it the "regular" model sounds like I'm talking about the model and not the texture, and "regular" texture was inspecific. I wanted zuriki to put the "regular" texture onto the model she created.
Your whole attittude is really starting to get on my nerves. You're going around completely insulting anyone who has the slightest amount of complaint against dock's artwork. You keep saying that anyone who has critizism is only tearing the comunity apart, despite you being the first one to respond with a nasty reply to their otherwise valid critizism. It's only dragging the community farther apart and alienizing those who oppose. The only troll here is you.

The terminology would actually be the Demodocks and the Republicrafts.
@dragoon
So their critizism is not valid just because they didn't phrase properly? Do you not realize that only harsh critizism goes through?
I could say the artwork was distasteful, but it's an ugly pile of crap gets the point across more powerfully.
Now I really don't want to start a flame war and ruin christmas, so can we please have a day of not talking about the new art? I'm done with talking about this stuff.
Look, I don't want to backseat mod the entire time. Actually, as you know, I can't, but I will explain what I mean by good criticism:
Snowman and Julius Clonkius simply stated their views on why they didn't like the trajectory of the art style, and they left it at that. On the other hand, mochi and a pubby8 went out of their way to be overly hostile against the art style, when they could have simply stated that they did not like the direction the art was heading.
What does miff me is that you and mochi essentially flamed Dock for his artwork, when it was unnecessary and caused way too much drama than necessary. In turn, you are generating the very effects of trolling: causing drama and annoyance throughout the Discussion boards.
I'll stop haggling the both of you right now, but even the moderators see this as a problem. If you don't like it, fine; it is much worse to go ballistic though.

That's where you're wrong. If this was true, you would have insulted Notch as well for the gold tiles, and more heavily. There's a fine line between harsh criticism and insulting one's work, and the fact that there's no need for that kind of unnecessary added insult, when it is easier to contact Dock directly and tell him about it. That should make the point 10 times more obvious than complaining on a forum, now shouldn't it?

So did Julius Clonkius, and he wasn't attacked.
I'm being honest though, you are projecting the image of troll onto me. I like good criticism, not the "WATCHING YOU" paranoia.
