    I dont think the designers for Concord took color theory classes, or even went to art school. The color scheme for most of their characters is grotesque. Muddy dirt colors mixed with lime and neon colors seemingly applied at random across models with seemingly random clutter all over them. Either they had no idea what they were doing or they intentionally tried to make the game as visually unappealing as possible.

    Man, watching these videos I've realised just how poorly thought out and inconsistent the character designs are in Concord. It's like everyone was just given a vague brief and then everyone did their own interpretations without any kind of overall quality control to bring a unified feel. I've seen the boxy helmet design before but it's super rare, even in the older sci-fi stuff. Her being a demolition character is a surprise too because she looks more like an aquatic or hazardous environment explorer, and that helmet that is all glass with no padding and exposed suit piping at the front is completely impractical for any kind of blast protection.
    But I love the redesign. It looks futuristic, practical and most importantly actually like a demolition character.

    If the people behind Concord were smart, they would've given the main playable characters much more dynamic designs(like in these videos) & repurposed the bland & cringe-inducing "official" designs for NPC enemies you'd likely fight against in a potential PvE story mode campaign.
    BTW, the addition of a PvE story mode campaign would've given this game a much needed leg-up over Overwatch, which had infamously scrapped it's own to focus more on milking their players with microtransactions.

    To answer your confusion for why the devs covered anything that would make the character look feminine, DaVeers was supposed to be non-binary. At least that is the impression reading the bio gives. Also the fish tank and jumpsuit was to protect the character from their own weaponry: liquid and gaseous poisons. (definitely a violator of the Geneva Convention)

    A lot of people actually claim that the realistic art style of concord actually does a disservice to the sci-fi aesthetic. I couldn't disagree more. You can make any style work as long as you know what you're doing. In fact, the fact that it's sci fi should give you more freedom to create shapes outside the norm due to the technological advancement. The original design simply has bland shape and coloring, and a number of other things.

    The things on the original design I think are supposed to be her grenades and why she has a clear bucket on her head I think it's supposed to be the head armour for bomb squad suits but they made it clear so you could see it's a woman under there and the tubing on the front I think is their attempt to make it look futuristic instead of a trash Man suit with shoulder pads in a bucket.
    Yours is definitely better than the original actually standing out and making it obvious that this person uses grenades as their main weapon. Maybe an alternative skin for your design could be more closer to bomb squad but as a base design it's good.

    You know what would have been cool is a transparent helmet but with a cool design. Like a transparent helmet made of the same stuff they make fighter jet canopy's out of. Something like a combat helmet or a biker helmet with a viser instead of a piece of tupperware. Transparent to let her hair and facial features shine through. Maybe even like a 50's sci-fi glass dome type thing would have worked too.

    That original design looks like she's wearing a home made space suit costume made last minute for a party, right down to the Tupperware plonked over her head.
    The thing is, hiding her in a bulky costume is blatantly an effort to hide her figure but it also erodes every iota of femininity too. What has me rolling my eyes and sighing is knowing that you can put a female character in a bulky costume and keep her femininity, even with a hidden figure. The only reason you'd hide that fact if it was pertinent to the story or you wanted to keep the identity a secret so it'll be a surprise when revealed (like Samus in the original Metroid game).
    I like drawing female characters, but I also like to draw bulkier outfits (I just find it fun) and costumes so many times I've drawn a woman wearing anything from a big puffa jacket to a full spacesuit or massive suit of mechanical armour. Stuff like curves, colours or nods to the character inside can all help indicate that it's a female character inside. In retrospect this Tupperware headed character seems almost like the concept artist wanted to be spiteful, not just to the "male gaze" but even to the character herself.
    Your design is far better and I'm getting 90's era Marvel vibes from it. It's awesome.

    According to the PC Games N article, this character is the flamethrower operator. Her helmet should protect her eyes from the flames' glare, and a respirator to protect her lungs from smoke inhalation- in short, the costume design was likely intended for the rocketeer, whose weapon has a longer range, meaning she doesn't need to cover her entire head that way.
    To balance the need to make her recognizable AS A WOMAN, and her need to look READY FOR BATTLE- in-story, armored against her own weapons' effects- how about giving her armor that only protects the front of her body? The visual effects will be similar to the "naked apron" trope familiar to anime and manga fans.
    Anyways, good job changing the jetpack-wearing flamethrower operator to a grenadier. Not your fault you got confused; a good character designer shouldn't force potential players to read a magazine article, to know each character's role.
