Do any of you ever come across character designs or story ideas that are a little TOO similar to other ones like them from either your childhood or a few days ago? I know I do. All the time, infact. Well, I just logged into Steam and got slapped in the face with an almost recognizable image of an almost recognizable character... just aged a little.

On the same note, I'd like to share a collaged image I made from three different characters that fall under this same blasphemy. I call it "Soap Joseph Sev":



I don't know about any of you, but I'm getting pretty sick of these paper cut-out character designs. I'm sure these bruting roles could use a little more spice. I mean c'mon, Captain America got away with a little extra flare and was still taken pretty damn seriously.



All I'm asking for is a little more creative effort. We've had a few recently, but we've had alot more of the same.
