VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.4] [Eva Kiss]

[Back]

Ooooooh, I just realized that's the new redesign for Stan. Honestly, I thought it was another fanart thing since we were talking about it recently after a series of photoshop Stans.

I thought it was a joke. Like, for reals. ^^'

Oh gawd, that doesn't bode well when official art is indistinguishable from fanart...
(When fanart does it, it's always a nice tribute, but not when it's the other way around, right?)

 

[chrigelch]

Hopefully that about the "new" Stan is a bad joke?

 

[lockerxx]

Since Eva doesn't like stan ,she's making sure we don't like him too . His eyes lmao

 

[juniorforlife17313]

Yup. When I didn't think it was possible for him to look any worse. He looks like his face and his body belong to two different types of species of humans. Ooga boogah

 

[TheBlackGungir]

Yeah, that redesign is a yikes from me to me and it might be the clothes and the ponytail but he looks like a socially awkward incel now vs a socially awkward nerd. I honestly have no idea what she was thinking with that look like good gawd it's so bad like everything she was going for was missed by miles and I am usually positive dude but this right here is horrid.

 

[What'sNew]

TBH old Stan was better looking with a much cleaner looking haircut. Giving him long hair just makes him look dirtier and more of a slob.

Like I said there was no need for a redesign. I do question the thought behind this creative decision. Was the intention to make Stan look even more of a nerd? If so Eva has passed with flying colours. Kudos to her. This gives Louise even more fodder to attack Stan with .

New Stan looks like someone who uses Arch Linux.

New Stan looks like someone who uses Arch Linux.

Why you gotta call me out like that?!

 

[mannice431]

New Stan looks like the dude who would sneer at you if he found out you actually prefer Windows to Linux.

This is why you don't redesign a character halfway through. If this was Stan's original design there would be no problem.

If you shaved your head, your friends who have known you for years would take the piss out of you because yeah, now you look different to what you were before.

If you shaved your head and moved to a new city. Every new person you meet wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Maybe. But I'm not keen on his new puppy-dog eyes. It makes me worry he's going to become a male Holly, which I think would be a mistake. (Not because a male Holly would be a bad thing, just because the game already has Holly and Stan needs to be distinctive for more than his anatomy.) Hope for the best, I suppose.

Inspiration for the new Stan:

 

[Levian]

Though I don't like the new Stan at all, I do understand Eva. As Stan is most likely finally going to get some action, the old Stan just looks way out league for Lena whereas the new Stan is much more handsome:

Also, the storyline regarding Stan and Lena doesn't support any action between them, rather Lena feels her more like a close friend at most.
I understand the change but at this point I think they're a bad call.

 

[randomi]

New Stan is fine and definitely more fuckable than old stan

 

[doctor13]

Yeah, not sold on the hair but he looks an alright dude rather than a fedora wearing katana wielding incel.

 

[Banque_route]

I did Ian/Cindy path yesterday, this is tense as fuck
Way more than others

 

[Deleted member 148498]

New Stan looks perfect. I see him as the kind of a boyfriend that appreciates how lucky he is to have such a hottie as Lena as his girlfriend, while locked in chastity and watching her getting railed by two bbcs and recording all of that for her onlyfans account.

 

[Dirtytreenaturd]

Truthfully, I liked Stan's original design better. A better haircut and clothing choices would do wonders for him. The ponytail with what looks like dark eyeliner just makes him look odd to me. I am thankful he will get more attention in the story though.

Preferences! As long as Eva establishes Lena has an attraction to Stan than it works. Plus Lena's character doesn't strike me as somebody who's so shallow she thinks about whether she's "out of a dude's league". I don't think Eva was trying to make him more handsome, because he facial features are still the literal same, he just looks less like he's about to cry and more like he's "chillin"(she gave him a smile, opened up his eyes a bit more, and brought his potrait closer to the camera). I think the change has more to do with the changes she's made to his personality.

Look how they massacred my boy. He doesn't look socially awkward nerd at all which was his selling point. Now he looks like someone who's into metal songs. Probably has a band as well.

Now i'm wondering if Stan might be more into music now than before. Ppl have pointed out "yet another photogropher" wouldn't really help him stand out from the rest, so Eva might be giving him a passion for music as a unique way for him and Lena to connect, since it's so intimate for her. Could be interesting, dont' think any other of Lena's LIs have as much of a passion for music as she does.

It's official Stan is a twitch mod for an E Girl that does pool streams.
