Default Re: I hate the look of the Mother of Serpents

KO said "Minoean", it's me that erroneously assimilated the icon to a Babylonian look.

Also, no personal offense was intended when comparing your sprite to a Disney thing. If you feel my note as agressive then please accept my apologizes. Don't forget I'm not an english native speaker and I may miss many nuances and subtleties when reading/writing english posts.

This being said, on a strictly aesthetic point of view, I can say 2 things :

- Personnaly, I definitely hate the Final Fantasy stuff and look. Sorry for that. I don't hate Snagga-like monsters, just FF ones. As well as FF heroes as a whole, at least the ones we often see as avatars in forums. That's just a personnal and deeply subjective matter, I agree.

- As for the Disney thing, I also agree they made great stuff... for children. I used to love many of their cartoons when I was a child. On the other hand, Disney iconography has greatly contributed to develop a sanitized aesthetic of mythologies (folklores/faery tales/etc) that I feel insuitable with the European tradition. I am European. So I don't favour Dysney, nor Final Fantasy, things. And of course I don't play Dom III as a "children oriented" game

But I'm afraid such considerations will drive us far away from the original subject of the thread. I just wanted to make my personnal and subjective point clear. I recognize anybody else the ability to refuse to share my positions and as you said, "it's hardly an insult" to make such comparisons. It's just an opinion.

And I love the actual MoS
