Sorry about that, I have sent an angry chattext to my buddy. I didnt know about the pictures where from someone else, but, there you go, right is right!
I got a feeling that this wont be how the female monk will look after all. But, i could be wrong... although i hope im not, cuz this one looks kinda crappy.

Seth why did you close the Monk Reveal thread in the Monk forums but leave the Monk Reveal thread in general? Seems a little backwards lol
Quote from "Seniri" »
I'm having mixed feelings. I'm not a fan of the Monk class - I don't think it's weak, I don't think it's merely a support class, I don't bash on it, etc - it's just not a play style I think I'd personally like. However, after making my male Wizard I had planned on trying a female Monk, just to try it out, never know maybe I'll like it. The art here seems... business-womany, I think her hair would have been better a light brown or red (too bad Barb got that =/) and that armor seems too heavy to do Monk-things in. I could be wrong, this is just concept art, right? We'll have to wait and see her in action.

I don't know............it just seems odd and out of place, although it's true that monk isn't confined to an ethnicity.
But I also don't like the hairstyle much, too modern and trendy for a "monk", who is supposed to be humble and should have already reached a level of spiritual enlightenment to NOT follow shallow fashion trends of the mere mortals.
Honestly, Blizz could have done better with the designs.
I actually quite like the look, if it's not a hoax. She's got a nice, stern face, and the hair - in my opinion - is quite fetching. I hope they keep it, though it'll be a year or longer before the game comes out, so there will likely be some changes made either way.

Too trendy. Okay why don't we give her a bowl cut and be done with it?
The people who created her are a design team, sure she could have had less stylish hair, but then you'd complain that she looks bland and needs something to make her look cooler.

As a conventional textbook answer: "The main purpose of character design is to embody any significant personalities traits and attributes of the said character into a visual representation that audience can easily identify with."
In the case of the female monk, it portrays an utterly incorrect image to the gamers.
A monk is a religious person striving for spiritual enlightenment, which relates to humbleness, simplicity, a connection to nature, etc.
A monk is not a fashion conscious materialist that spends 3 hours in a salon perfecting her hair.
If it was indeed a professional design team who drew the female monk, they could have done a much better job.

Sigh. I can shake my head of hair and it lands the same way as hers. I do not go to salons. Since she's a religious person striving for personal enlightenment (is that what Diablo monks do? I thought they made people explode with their fingers) why not just make her bald like the other one? Because nobody would like it and they wouldn't shut up about it until the game is either launched or changed.
Personalities, traits, and attributes. She's a female monk in the world of Diablo. She is bad-ass. She kills demons from the burning pits of hell with her bare fucking hands. That hair seems more militant than frivolous. It's short, not in her eyes, not long enough someone can grab it in a fight.
I think the male Barbs haircut is stupid let's give him a mullet.

I don't believe a humam beign can ever born with a hair like that. And i didin't know there was salons in sanctuary.
I hope it's fake because it looks horrible.
Official Blizzard Quote:
Yes, that is indeed the female monk.
We'll have an official site update and a couple high-res goodies soon.
And it has been confirmed. I expected something... better. I don't know, it's not that this is bad or something. It just feels, not right.
