- Naughty Dog Artist recently drew Eve from Stellar Blade but was called out immediately for making her ugly.
- Due to the massive backlash, the artist had to draw the character again.
- Stellar Blade’s official Twitter account posted the new art, which fans seem to like much better than the previous one.
Naughty Dog has been under massive fire lately, mainly due to Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The game’s trailer on YouTube far exceeded the dislikes of Concord, the biggest failure in gaming history.
Interegalactic’s main lead has also sparked some controversies, making the matter even worse. Following that, the concept designer of Naughty Dog, Nam Hyoung Taek, received massive backlash for drawing Eve from Stellar Blade as “ugly and manly.”
Now, following the backlash, the artist redrew Eve, and this time, she looks better.
Why it matters: Eve is one of the most good-looking female characters in video games, so making her ugly in concept art made many fans furious.
The official Twitter account of Stellar Blade has posted the new art and thanked the artist for drawing Eve again. The developer claims that it welcomes any type of fan art, even the previous one that Nam Hyoung Taek made.
Artist Nam Hyoung Taek has once again drawn Eve for us. We’re very grateful for this, but we always welcome fan art in the style of the previous one.
-Stellar Blade Twitter Account
The developer further supports Hyoung by mentioning that it isn’t uncommon for fan art to have more of the artist’s style than the original. However, the fandom might not agree with this sentiment, as the backlash on previous concept art from Hyoung is enough proof of that.
Now, the comments section is filled with positive responses, with many fans liking the new art and respecting Shift Up for having the artist’s back.
This shows more improvement in his skill. You guys are teaching him a lot. I hope he can use these skills to help ND improve as well.

Some fans claim that there was nothing wrong with the previous one, but others seem to disagree. However, that is a conversation for another day.
It is good to see the artist acknowledging the backlash and trying his best to make a better version of his previous drawing to please the fandom.
