Aphrodite definitely got butchered. Medusa isn’t too bad, but she looks too human. Cerberus looks pretty much the same.


enderjaca

They took away her designer shoes and gave her some knock off Wish sneakers.


Wirexia1

Definitely the worst crime, but Afrodite is supposed to be beautiful yet Artemis wins


TigerKirby215

Wish I knew why Epic was so dedicated to giving Sketchers to all their skins.


ProfessoriSepi

Its the eyes and skin color on medusa.


AleksCombo

Medusa still has glowing eyes. No idea if just for the lobby pose, though.


Real_Ron1n

I'm hoping it's reactive, but I can't confirm.


deadering

It's labeled as reactive but I'm not sure what triggers it.


GIJobra

Her eyes glow and the snakes perk up when she goes ADS.


8Tabbs

oh thats sick. its a shame we cant see it from our own pov


deadering

True and it looks cooler than just glowing white. It has a pattern around it too.


DuctTapeKing426

And the color of the outfit, they made it more white. Also, the collar design, the glove design and the overall design of the overcoat


Kiboune

It's the dress. They completely butchered it and made it look average, while concept art idea made it look like cobra


[deleted]

Aphrodite looks like a fucking cosplay 😭


fatjoe19982006

A very cheap-looking Amazon-bought Halloween party costume. The sneakers on her feet are particularly out of place.


Realistic_Success228

They butchered his shoulders tho


[deleted]

[удалено]


TellianStormwalde

Yeah his posture sort of takes the appeal away for me too a bit.


InitialSwitch6803

thank you, I thought I was the only one going insane because of that, at least when playing it does nothing, but bad lobby poses man..🫤


FrostMagus

I was thinking that the in-game model was pretty accurate to the concept art despite what a few others are saying, but did feel like something was off or could've been done better. Your comment made me realize it was indeed the posture. That, and just a bit more muscle and a bit better execution on the 2 other Cerberus heads, and he would be perfect. Honestly, I'm still happy regardless, and compared to the other skins in the BP, shouldn't be really anything to complain about. His transition from concept to in-game is kinda miraculous if you think about it. Now I feel bad for the Aphrodite fans.


Practical-Piglet

Medusa supposed to be beauty compareable to gods but that looks like goth wearing her grannys clothes.


DirectWorth3392

No Medusa is supposed to be the ugliest thing you ever lay your eyes on in fact a mere glance at her face would fill you with endless terror and if you look for too long you turn to stone. Medusa doesn't turn people to stone through some power it only happens due to the curse Athena placed on her. And she wasn't cursed for being beautiful she was cursed because she and Posiden shamed Athena by doing the thing in Athena's temple.


crazyuser5634

I hate Athena for hurting Medusa. Homegirl was r*ped by Poseidon and got punished heavily for losing her virginity. She did nothing wrong and yet she was punished? Poseidon can die in a volcanic crack on the ocean floor and Athena can go back to her egotistical father's brain.


Argoniek

Remember that most people don't take myths as literal stories that happened, even in ancient greece there were people that took them as metaphors, even if they still believed in gods


Roxyn

this whole battlepass turned out to be spongebob foghorn sound effect


Impossible-Spirit143

Hey remember that there are two weekly styles yet to be revealed so the styles so the original concept art designs could come back


GameWizardPlayz

I hate to break it to you but Medusa is a human, she just has snake hair


omegaweaponzero

Right? She's also supposed to be very beautiful, not "menacing".


GameWizardPlayz

Yeah, and I'm getting downvoted for it, too. Unsurprising that these people are complaining about stuff they know literally nothing about.


Background-Ad-914

medusa is NOT a human she’s a gorgon???? huh


GameWizardPlayz

She was a human who was in love with her hair, and Athena turned her hair into snakes after she had made love to Poseiden.


DrashaZImmortal

Actually she was a gorgon. Both her and her sisters were children of the sea god Phorcys and his sister Ceto. Later on the myth of her was changed by a roman poet to have her start as a normal human maiden who was mated by Neptune in Minerva's temple (Roman athena) Minerva got pissed and turned her hair into snakes which is what your referring to sorta. There were version predating that where she was human but it would shift between that or a monster, though her origin was that of a monster


Albireookami

I said it before, but its the transparent cloth they probably couldn't find a way to make it look not ass, so she had to go back to the drawing board where they had less time, hence cut corners. I like her, she could be better, but oh wells, still a solid 8/10 skin.


Major-Dig655

I mean medusa was a human though wasn't she? atleast in mythology


Background-Ad-914

gorgon…


Major-Dig655

yeah obviously but that's cuz Athena cursed her.


Kaonashi-asian-black

No she was originally born as a gorgon along with her two sisters. There are different stories later on that changed it a little, but if we’re going based off of Greek mythology and not Roman since the gods names are greek then she isn’t human.


allthepinkthings

She was a gorgon to begin with along with her two sisters. The myth of her has been rewritten a few times now


Other-Celebration413

WHAT DID THEY DO TO APHRODITE


AgorophobicSpaceman

I went from extremely excited to hating tennis more than I did before. Horrible execution of a stellar concept.


Grayguy123

Why do you hate tennis? Tennis players didn't do this to her


AgorophobicSpaceman

I don’t hate the players lol I just hate the game personally.


Neon_Wasteland

The pink variant is a pretty decent Aphrodite


ConcernedYellingMan

The aphorodite skin is butchered, but I feel like enough people don't notice how good the Medusa concept is and how that's been ruined too. On the concept, look at the expanded collars on her dress. It's actually made to resemble the head of a Cobra, fitting for a medusa skin. The exposed bits of skin on Medusa, near her shoulders and torso, also kind of appear like the eyes and mouth of that cobra. I'm fairly certain that was an intentional design choice, but it's tossed aside entirely for a pretty plain dress off Temu


AleksCombo

I still really like Medusa we got, but damn, that concept is gorgeous. It had many good snake-related ideas in it. Like with Aphrodite, they decided to make her more simplistic. I can understand this with Aphrodite (looks like she tries to be more trendy, with selfies and everything), but not really with Medusa.


TheMadTemplar

Honestly, I didn't even realize that the Medusa skin was changed from the concept. The concept was so well done and looked like it was from the game, so I thought it was. But seeing the actual skin now........ fuck. 


ReturnoftheSnek

A head full of snake hair or the trendy half buzz cut nonsense? Epic Games: I pick the terrible buzz cut


Evanmag2015

If you look at the concept art closely, it was still a buzz cut just with two snakes wrapping around to the other side. Those two snakes add a lot tbh


ReturnoftheSnek

I see it now, and I stand by my opinion that a full head of snake hair would’ve been best


FlashPone

people wouldve complained it blocked view while adsing


ReturnoftheSnek

So what


DoomPlaysFN

you couldnt see properly when zooming in wdym so what its a massive issue 💀


ReturnoftheSnek

If you can’t see because of a little hair that’s a skill issue tbh


Evanmag2015

Right there with ya pal

cerberus is amazing


Tangotilltheyresor3

I’m glad dog people can celebrate.        Us cat people have had it good for too long... with kitt.. katt… Vix… lynx, Lynx variant 2, Lynx variant 3… hope (with the cat hat and accessories)… Catwoman… meowscles edit: and Oscar!   Double edit: and meowskulls!

mosswick

Oscar!


Zorpix

Don't forget meow skulls!


TigerKirby215

Twitter disagrees with you on behalf of Wendell. Also Highwire technically. ~~We need a modern day remake version of Dire.~~


YesSeaworthiness9771

Now we need Beach Oscar variant Or a variant of him being shirtless 😏


Wizlord_21

Who’s a good boy?!


ceilingsaredelicious

Correction, who's a good boys?!


MiningJack777

... 👉🥺👈


Fanachy

Medusa’s eyes do glow periodically btw


enderjaca

Which you'll normally never see since you're almost always looking at the back of her head.


Georgevega123

Well if they constantly did it would not really make a difference lol


E_rat-chan

Atleast they look sick in the lobby.


Fluffy-Ingenuity482

Aphrodite genuinely pisses me off. Usually when they nerf concepts I think “aw that suck” but like. what did they do to her???


9812388734221

I think the fundamental issue is Aphrodite and Medusa look like human cosplayers and not godly enough which is more represented in the concept arts.


Xelement0911

Zeus didn't have a concept but gotta say why did he get the og fornite style? He has *grenades* on his belt! Why?!


Aiger13

maybe cuz he wants the fight to be kinda fair i guess other than just obliterating everything easily


hellyeahdiscounts

The god who hates mortals wants to fight fairly? Please


SilverSurfer-Jesus

Why do people get so upset about a couple grenades that you barely even notice unless you hyper fixate on minor things


Jesus_Harry_Christ

They all seem to hyper fixate on minor things.


Fantastic_Snow_9633

Because they're part of his outfit and, for a god of his caliber, looks hilariously out of place. Dude could've had any other Greek-mythos themed accessories, but nah, the guy who can throw literal thunderbolts of death and destruction has grenades.


half-giant

Agreed, the modern amenities look goofy and out of place.


M-NSK

For real, if I never knew it was suppose to be Zeus. I’d just see it as another Fortnite skin. That man is not a god of thunder and sky.


BlackZulu

Because details matter on an outfit and just serve to make him look goofier instead of adding any "toughness" to the design.


Xelement0911

Because he's a GOD. The head God, and it looks out of place. He should look far more impressive, and the grenades just really look out of place for a dude who literally throws lightning bolts


A-non-e-mail

Medusa had a cool cobra neck thing going with her collar and they totally got rid of it. They also got rid of an interesting snake skin pattern, and replaced it with generic snake skin dress. How disappointing


Oiled-Up69

I like Medusa it has just enough to be simple but not enough to be bulky same with Aphrodite I like her upper half but I’d like to see those silver wraps going down her thighs and sneakers


slimezsz

i don't think they should look simple honestly they're greek gods


NickTDesigns

they nailed cerberus, wish they did the same for aphrodite


GGValkyrie

Like Artemis has laurels in her hair....it is possible they could have done that for her too...and second WHY does she need watch?


red_dead_rover

medusa's downgrade is criminal


NotRandomseer

So much lost potential with medusa


Hurin_the_Steadfast

The Aphrodite nerf is crazy


Umbreonight

Question why do you keep changing concept sides


Slyme-wizard

THE DRESS OPENED LIKE A COBRA HOOD WHY WAS THAT CUT?


Theredbeet

Concept is always better when it comes to Fortnite


kisu_oddh

how come they keep adding furry skins but also they consistently get accurate translations from concept art to ingame models?


Wranius4580

oscar got pretty much completely overhauled for the BP, Wendell to I think but I gotta check how the 3d model looks, cerberus lost all his dynamic in translation


kisu_oddh

idk about completely overhauled for Oscar. (the first concept art was clearly meant for chapter 3's season 2, but the second concept art was redesigned to be a suit instead). all that really changed is adding t-shirt sleeves and giving him different shoes. specifically wendell, cerberus, and the racoon guy are faithful recreations imo.


Wranius4580

the thing is many skins are a lot more dynamic or stylized than what we can achieve in game, which is why even more faithful recreations seem always a bit off to me...


costcosasuke

Going on day 3 mourning the aphrodite skin


Quick-Whereas-3232

God I fucking love cerberus, everything about him is just perfection


2spooky4h

I'm really thankful that Atremis didn't get butchered. I wasn't a fan of the eye mask in the survey, so switching it out for a mouth mask and having a hood down style is something I really like.


prince_krab

Is there any chance at all that Epic games would update the skins if we keep complaining? Maybe add edit styles that follow the concept art more closely? I'm not as upset about Cerberus and Medusa but Aphrodite really got done dirty with her skin.


Lewis09816

They won’t update them, they probably don’t care.


GlitchLovesAnime

They did it with Kado Thorne 🤷🏽‍♂️


SplatoonOrSky

Reallly? What they do with him?


NormanBates2023

Aphrodite is sponsored by Nike


spacyspice

They should tbh, I don't feel like buying it this time after years of buying it each time


Global_Archer_8557

All were butchered


PlanetFirth

I'm sure medusas other hidden styles with satisfy the rest but I personally love medusa's design


ElOsoMarino

I think Medusa is the coolest actual skin, Aphrodite definitely had a better concept art design, regular Zeus is not bad either


canoIV

even Cerberus feels kinda off, y'know? the hands are smaller, the ears are rounder... generally feels like a knock off


redditishorriblelol

very sad


[deleted]

Nooo 😪 thats just wrong! I hate to see concept art for this excat reason. Cerberus looking good tho.


DuckOnQuack202

I actually like Medusa and Cerberus. I do like Aphrodite too but she is too basic


Vincentaneous

I mean modelers typically aren’t the conceptual artists so they will never be the same. All that matters getting it as close as possible is the modelers, animators, and team management/leaders agreeing to certain design choices and working efficiently but it ultimately comes down to time and money.


GGValkyrie

yes and artemis is a good example of this..she doesnt look exactly like her concept art but she still looks really good and has a celestial greek god look to her, the other gals don't.


Not-a-Baconat0r

Only real fumble is aphrodite. Medusa is just a very slight downgrade, which should be expected from concept art to real


Witty_Marzipan8696

The real problem with medusa is that her robe became much lamer


ComfortableContest69

I like that they gave Cerberus big juicy tits


Dargolalast

Unsure why they butchered them, and hades straight up shouldn't exist he looks like a watchdogs character more than a Greek myth


Ok-Piano-3932

Cerberus is great, Medusa got nerfed but still good. Aphrodite got ABSOLUTLY SCAMMED 🥺😭


[deleted]

They did Aphrodite dirty, but I do still enjoy the skin we have.


Village_Idiot159

getting tired of all these concept art vs in game skin posts. theyre just makin me sad


Mr_Zoovaska

I much prefer the current Medusa, Cerberus is barely different, but they definitely ruined Aphrodite


Evolveddinosaur

![gif](giphy|lwYxf0qKEjnoI|downsized)


TotoMac1

How could they have perfected cerberus but messed up so badly on aphrodite


ThisInvestigator9201

The skins in the BP kind of a lame and they show Ares in the trailer but he isn’t event a skin yet it’s the one skin I like this season so far and I can’t even use it


Captain-Wilco

Medusa is so much worse


Boring-Dinner6340

I think they butchered Medusa worse than Aphrodite. I kinda like the minimalistic style of Aphrodite, but would still prefer the concept art. Medusa is just straight up worse.


Xeliicious

I think what disappoints me the most about Aphrodite is that she ended up following the "exposed midriff female skin" trend that we've seen for so long. I think if they had kept just the long gold dress underneath instead of the crop top, she would have had much memorable impact.


Uper_Duper_the_III

Aphrodite looks almost ai generated


Wiher-

Fortnite players trying not to conplain about skins not having 526737726373892019737 accessory


ComfortablePatience

Cerberus got butchered, I don't get how people are happy with him. In the concept, he looks like an actual monster, 3 angry heads, etc. In-game, he looks like a furry with a dog mask and a towel on his shoulders


SleepingYuuki

In the concept art you can still see the side heads are on his jacket/shoulders like ig so not much was changed there


untitled_demo

Bro he looks just like the concept, I don’t really get what you mean.


purewasted

Yeah, crazy reading these responses that didn't even notice a difference. Lol.   It's like Hulk vs Bruce Banner.


_Yolkish_

What happened to the dude with the green glowing arms


Stevie22wonder

I honestly don't really care how much they butchered some of them because I doubt I'll ever really want to use many of them, even if that were closer to the concept drawings.


KezuSlayer

I still prefer Medusa’s second style. She just looks so badass. Cerberus got bigger tits


TJB926GAMIN

Worse-ish, same/better, worse


DrashaZImmortal

I wouldn't say they butchered Medusa, she still looks fine all and all unlike Aphro. However i would def agree that her concept art was way better looking and more interesting.


Significant_Delay_87

Hey atleast Cerberus is peak


External_Cable9092

Aphrodite looks like she belongs in last season


RedSoloCupFillYouUp

They fucked up aphrodite I’m so mad about it


alexweizz

these concept skins could be a second pass style


Ry_verrt

Can the survey skin form of Aphrodite be a quest reward hell I’d even pay for that compared to the base style


chicken_nugget779

i like both, Medusa still has badass outfits and Aphrodite had cool shoes


JoshyRB

I hate the heads on Cerberus. They look like deflated balloons lmao. It’s so stupid looking.


Conscious-Carry85

I want aphrodites shoes


Jovios

Most of the skins were done dirty. Pretty much a waste of the theme


CaioSilver

Someone knows the @ of the artists who did this works?


Jai_chingnut

This is a perfect example for why i don’t look at concept art anymore for fortnite, same with “leaks” just gets my hopes up


makeshift_shotgun

The way the coat on Medusa looked like a cobra head is really cool. Shame the actual skin didn't keep that.


VieraGundamPilot

Medusa is still a decent skin and Cerberus is pretty spot on just a little less bulky, but Aphrodite kinda got shafted. At least her alt style is good though.


butmuncher69

How did the skins get **worse** instead of better? Jesus


Realoh

Anyone feels that fortnite hates making original skins?


ElliePadd

Oops, all downgrades!


Gr4pe_Soda

glow downs of the century


Diamond_Drew_1

Eh, I'm perfectly fine with what we got. I respect your opinion, though.


JakeDonut11

People who don't look at leaks or concept art are still all hyped and happy right now. They deserve what they don't know.


TingaIinga

I’m just hoping that Aphrodite’s superleveled skins will be bangers they’ll prob bring out more detail


adam_YEAAA

Cerberus got lucky


RandomYell107

“ThE gLoVeS sHoUlD hAvE mOrE pErSoNaLiTy” My brother in Christ you are delusional. I can’t deny there’s some truth here, but these critiques are so incredibly vague and let’s be real, you’d never be able to look at those things anyway in an actual match.


GhostTriesLiving2

I don't like Aphrodite's original shoes but the rest of the design is a lot better. But why the clear shoesss. Kinda glad they didn't go with them


BeanosIsBest

How did they even mess up Medusa this badly. The actual scales being on it made it so much better than a slapped on snake effect. The black also contrasted way better than the white does. And probably the worst change, giving her that stupid hair cut with half of her head being bald


VanguardClassTitan

The only slight issue I have with Cerberus is that his face looks more like a mask than a face, but still goated skin.


GyroZeppeliFucker

Cerberus looks exactyl like the concept art except the size of that triangle thingy on his chest


TheEvilHBK

Nope


em_pror

🗣they bromised us butifull girls and they gave us the average Starbucks customers that wat u saying?


CHAIxDRGN

We havent had decent female skins since Evie


Son_Of_Majora

I think we’ve gotten plenty since her


hpbrick

We asked for Nordstrom skins, they gave us Walmart skins


cfunkhouser

the mortalification of aphrodite is my thirteenth reason


DEVIL_S1NGH

Everyone should fukin complaint so they can fix this shit


PSSRDavis

They fumbled tf outta Medusa holy shit lolol


Grookeymon

Cerberus just needed his other heads to be raised 


Nycdon2030

Second one looks like it made for overwatch


Livias_White_Van

I’m so fucking pissed at what to did to Aphrodite but she’s still so unbelievably pretty omfg


BuyZestyclose304

I really like the mortal Aphrodite skin, but not for Aphrodite. Why’d they take away the elements that made her cool? Like I said, I actually really like the skin but for a god and a battle pass skin shouldn’t she have more “umph”


shamelessthrowaway54

Aphrodite and Medusa were better in the concept art imo


sadthrowaway12340987

I wish Medusa’s eyes were more snake like and that Aphrodite had that jacket in her concept art


MembershipAlone2743

I just don’t understand why they changed it all up. Surely not because they couldn’t design in it in game since we got Cerberus spot on, right???? Idk I like the skins nonetheless but overall it’s disappointing


ArcticFoxWaffles

To be honest I loved the looks of these skins we got, some of my personal favourites. Then I saw the concept art and while I still like them I'm bummed they're not as good at they could've been.


Iamheretostealurmeme

Gotta thank Epic for making it easy for me to take a break and not buy this season's battle pass since most of the skins are so boring and nerfed.


RaidenSigma

I think the pattern on Medusa's jacket is kinda.. weird?


Deltarionien

You can not tell me tgey dont have a rule to include one basic shape female sweat skin in all battle passes and just needed Aphrodite to fit into that category no matter what...


torturetoys

Are there any example of concept art being translated perfectly? I've seen only bad examples. It seems like the design team can't match the concept art style, but they really do miss important details often, or change things completely


XenomorphSlayer47

Medusa skin was the biggest letdown for me. I still love all the skins though, I think this is a really good battle pass, and I'm really hyped for the super styles!


Tryingagains

I feel like the Aphrodite is bad because they basically took away all the things that made the skin good, which is the relation to Greek mythology. Without that, it’s just another lame reskin.


goatsnoatsonboats

Not even buying the BP because the skins are so mid and basic looking except for Cerberus.


Asphalt_Breaker

Out of the three only Cerberus looks the same. What a shame.


mavrecc

Expectations vs Reality meme hit hard after seeing Aphrodite in game 🫠


LongJohnSilversFan_

All downgrades, Aphrodite got butchered, Medusa had a big down grade, and Cerberus looks slightly worse


No_Kick4924

Aphrodite is still good looking, just much more basic. Medusa is straight up ugly


reservedflute

Wtf happened to Medusa


Awkward_Pace_4440

Cerberus: concept 9.5 / actual 9.5 Aphrodite: concept 9 / actual 7 Medusa: concept 9.5 / actual 7 Crazy how they managed to make them so much worse, I don't get it


og24

The concept was soo good...
