She looks cute! I'm with you on the hair, but yeah, I'm sure I'll get used to it too.

Re: Finally got some Sheila! Winter Tundra and some more YoD!

Yeah so, I understand people's issue with features of remastered characters.  Thank god they got Spyro perfect really.  I think that there are some valleys of visual comprehension that is missing between the polygons of PS1 Spyro characters, and their remastered counterparts.  In some cases, people criticize the design choice, but more often it seems that the visuals of the old models was left to more interpretation than we thought.  I think it's a lot harder than people think.  When we saw the liberties they made with the elder dragons, we were impressed with how extravagant some of the characters were, especially some of them who only spoke for a few seconds!  They took liberties with Sheila too, and to many people, it missed the mark.  It makes me very afraid of Elora's eventual reveal.  It wouldn't surprised me if the reason we haven't seen TfB's design of Elora is because they are super nervous about what they have for her and are worried people will rage.  There are a lot of Elora fans out there.  You mess up Elora, and that's a deal-breaker for some.  And I can understand that even more than I understand the download fiasco.

Personally, I would like a little more animation in her movement.  When she gets hit, she doesn't react that much.  It would be nice to see her flinch a little.  As for the hair, yeah it's weird.  I wish we could see the cutscenes with her, I think the spunkiness of her personality will make the hair not a big deal.

About the hourglass stuff.  I get that people don't like stereotype character models in games.  Having a slender-looking female character comes off more attractive instead of relatable.  But do you guys think Sheila's design is stereotypical?  I'm trying to understand how people see it in her.  Yeah she's less pear-shaped, but it's not like she's an anorexic super-model.  What do you guys think?

I actually like her design. Guess I'm in the minority.

There's no point in being afraid of what people will do to her in terms of fandom art and memes.  It's inevitable.  And honestly, Elora and Bianca are going to get the most attention in that direction anyway.  It's just an internet fandom thing no one can avoid.

I urge everyone to take a deep breathe when they finally reveal Elora and Bianca.  I sincerely think *bleep* is going to fly.  I think I might just avoid the Spyro-verses that week.

Oh, well... I like her outfit, that's actually a good idea, but I don't like her weird overhumanized body shape <.< and the hair.. I don't want to sound too negative, the design itself is good, it just seems to me it is a different character. Like, if it was her mother or friend or sister, that would be totally awesome, but I just don't see the Sheila I remember there.
