		<description><![CDATA[Crossing &#8220;Uncanny Valley&#8221; from the Computer animated side is hard enough&#8230;

But I wonder if the air-brushing of our celebrities will fall into the valley, coming from the other direction?

I think it probably already has.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a lot of hype around Platinum Games&#8217; &#8220;Bayonetta.&#8221;  When I first saw her, I felt really creeped out.  It wasn&#8217;t until I <a href="http://platinumgames.com/2009/04/24/modeling-bayonetta/">saw this render that I realized what was wrong</a>:</p>
<div id="attachment_506" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 521px"><a href="http://platinumgames.com/2009/04/24/modeling-bayonetta/"><img class="size-full wp-image-506" title="Bayonetta" src="http://www.gamedevigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bayonetta.jpg" alt="Something just seems out of place..." width="511" height="717" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Something just seems out of place...</p></div>
<p>She&#8217;s about 10-heads tall.  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_drawing#Approaches">Comic-book heroines tend to be about 8-heads tall</a>.  Tall runway models are about 7-7 1/2 heads tall.  Her head is disproportionately small and the end result looks really creepy.</p>
<p>Usually when I draw, I tend to make the mistake of making the head disproportionately bigger.  But that is also because I think that the face and eyes are the most important features.  But in this case, there is no subtlety to what the designers wanted to emphasize &#8211; <strong>her intelligence!</strong></p>
