    I think she looks fine. Her cheekbones are a bit sharp, but other than that, not bad.

    well it seems they uglify her with each new game. (not really, just this one mainly)

    look at how she started in #1

    then do a side by side comparison between the first game and this one.

    atrocious :(

    Actually I am rather attracted to this Elaine , as far as a video game character goes. I'd say that she is Tell Tale game's most attractive woman yet ! Hm, girlish face line, fenimine lips , puppy girl eyes , also youthful with a hint of maturity . Not to forget , a red head with hair full of vibarance and character . Given the style of the game, I think that I am in love with her design .

    Same goes for me actualy. She looks like an absolute peach. And given her character of being snarky yet loveable/loving, I'm inclined to say that this is the best Elaine yet.

    The good news is that she isn't as horrible as MI3 but Monkey I and II were still the best Elaine

    yes most definitely!!!

    i agree with with alucard and the OP that 1 and 2 are the best. so why detract from it? :(

    My only problem is that she looks so... young. Like ten-years-old young. Am I the only one who thinks that?

    I think she looks just fine, except for some reason her face keeps reminding me of someone I can't quite put my finger on...

    Nah... Miley Cyrus' nose looks beaten up and chewed on and she got a rabbit-looking mouth too, but Elaines nose and mouth looks perfectly fine. :rolleyes:

    Do, Huh? She looks like MI4 careful guys were talking about a married woman. Seems the thread had turned into either teenagers or maby just grown men like to talk about how A maried heroine looks like a 15 year old girl creepy.:eek:

    LOL good to know that you agree with your own post. I was actually trying to say that it wasn't that bad. Sure it isn't MI1 and MI2 but I'm well over my initial negative reaction to the game.

    Amy Adams? 'cause that's who came into my mind when I first saw her.

    She does look a bit strange in the titlebar at the top of this page, but so does Guybrush. However she looks perfectly fine here.

    Her model looks like it's been touched up quite a lot and improved here. But it's also a testament to what proper lighting can do. :) I'll admit one of the things I didn't like at first about TOMI was Elaine, as usual. But now she looks like she might actually be tolerable. But then again, I never liked her.

    I find it strange how you all seem attracted to a 3D image.

    No 3d-animated Elaine will ever beat the original from mi1, she looks so beatiful

    but i like the new elaine, she looks kinda sweeeet. and imho a LOT better than her predecessors from mi3+4.

    btw. here's the elaine from mi:se

    edit: is it just me or are why do all hair styles from mi:se look so freaking weird!!?

    Her head's fine, it's the rest of her body that's poorly proportioned. STFU.

    You're right, it's like her hair has been deliberately styled into a baseball cap.

    For some reason it seems that more popular the gameseries is the stronger opinion people have how main characters should look like. We have already seen how people complained about Guybrush and LeChuck, so it was no surprise that now they complain about Elaine. Whose next, the Voodoo Lady?

    here she looks like an angry latina wanting to know who her husband has been cha cha-ing with.... interesting - blue vs green eyes and curious smile vs discerning frown

    PS - in case you were not wondering, i HAVE pre-ordered the game and i intend to like it
