Shit, man. I swear sometimes western developers tend to really try to be the anti-thesis of japanese games many times.
Final Fantasy has their girly looking male characters but may a lightning bolt strike my head if I was the only one who thought that character art (not in game model) looks like a very masculine guy. It wasn't until I read "female monk" that I could see a lame excuse for breasts in the drawing, Seriously, what is with Blizzard's obsession for huge shoulder pads? Someone tell them to stop putting huge shoulder pads on everything. It's gaudy.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
I loved the female rendered version.. pixie haircuts are really hot but I would prefer a brunette or red haired 'nun' =)
and I hope they include the male / female rendered version of the other classes on their pages..
I guess you all noticed that you can select the gender you want to see on the monk page.

Was that you on Kotaku or are you just copying that post? That was me who asked if you're mentally challenged, and the question still holds. I love how breast-obsessed you are - just because they're not the size of watermelons she looks like a dude to you. That's sick. Move to Australia and leave us normal people alone, creep.

When i saw the first picks in the bald guy show i really though her hair was WAY to stylized. But now it's perfect and fits her very well !!
About her armor, i liked it too. Never forget that in Diablo everyone can use any armor. So theres no such things as casters using light armor only. Every class use heavy armor, even the monk and the WD. The challenge is make the heavy armor fit the class, and they did it very well so far.
Really, if my monk is capable of defeating a entiry legion of demons and the lesser evils (and maybe even a greater one), i really don't know what he/shes is not capable of. My monk will wear heavy armor and feel more light then us naked.
Not a fan of the hair at all. I like the shoulder armor (the heavy armor version is pretty badass). Who cares if she really couldn't lift her arms over her head? Still waiting for a class model that appeals to me... haven't found one yet (female Wizard is close).
Off topic: any class is capable of wearing any armor. With the autostats, that just means a barb can wear heavy armor much sooner than the monk.
For anyne still complaining about the over sized shoulder pads, please read Zhar's post about proportioned pauldrons. It explains that they look over-sized straight on in order to look normal in the isometric view.
As far as her look, I like it. She seems a bit older and more rugged which is good.

hey, I noticed something
when the female monk is wearing shoulderpads, she doesn't wear the beads.
As you can see, she only wears the beads in the very-light-armor-artwork, in the medium-armor-render and the heavy-armor artwork, she isnt wearing the beads.
is Blizz trying to ditch the beads?
btw the male monk wears his all the time (but then again we haven't seen him with shoulderarmor yet )
I really hope they keep the beads, they really add a nice touch to the monk. Reminds me of some of the depictions of buddhist monks(most often in anime and whatnot).
I support big shoulderpads. So I guess Blizzard is making this game for me, since I seem to be the only one here who doesn't hate them.
Now we definitely need a gender switch on the other character pages as well though
Blizzard must be making the game for us, I like big shoulder armor also I think it make them look powerful, not to mention since we have new armor slots to fill in D3, I would like heavy class armor to look, heavy, bulky, and powerful!... Can you tell I'm a Barb kinda guy? lol
I too like the bigger shoulder armor and I like the overall design of the female monk. I really like Blizzards take on Diablo 3's character art for all of the classes, making it sort of realistic and stylized.

That said. She's sporting a Paladin Tier 8 bottom half(with slits in the dress) and a fair of what looks like priest tier 9 shoulders.

If I choose to play a Monk (I know I will play Witch Doctor first), I will be picking the Female version for sure.

Pretty sure there aren't any available to us so far...
Only concept art and the 3-D rendering.
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

I wonder when they will, if they do, share video content of the female monk. It would be nice to see what she looks like in game.
