Isn't it interesting than in the videogame industry, 95% oriented to a male audience (and I'm being generous) and more offensive to women every day (DOAX and FFX-2 come to mind) some of the most famous artists are women? You have Aoi Nanase (SamSho, Asuka 120%, Eithea), Kinu Nishimura (Cannon Spike, CvS, Gaia Master), Mutsumi Inomata (Tales of Destiny 1-2, Tales of Eternia), Senri Kita (SamSho 64, SamSho Warriors Rage 2) and I'm sure that a lot more.
Just pointing that. Oh, and I love the works of these four artists, of course.

Doesn't a woman work for some of the Castelvania productions.. I know SotN was a woman. I forget her name, Dr. O could tell ya...
I like to see some nice girls out there in the art field. Gives me hope that I would have a chace making it out there in a male dominated industry. However, you say that games are getting more and more offensive towards women. On a general whole, you're correct. But having women artists doesn't have a whole lot to do with it. Someone tells them what to draw.. and if they want their next paycheck they draw it. I know if someone's paying me my asking price.. I'll draw them anything they want. Granted... there are somethings I just don't think people can afford. Child porn will cost you $200 million.... ^_^ per square inch. A simple character image of some normal looking dude. .. that's a little more reasonable... ;p But even so... lots are artists are just the bitches of companies or others. Can't really tell their opinions. They just draw what they have to to make a buck. ^_^;

I believe her name's Ayami Kojima. As beautiful as her art is, I kinda wish she could draw some masculine guys for once. A friend of mine was joking about the trouble determining Soma's sex in the new GBA CV, he said that you could tell the women from the men in Kojima's art because their muscles are more defined!  Though, I thought Soma was pretty obviously a guy...
Of course, that's just silliness, but I remember when the Belmonts were pretty brutish-looking guys. Hell, back in the early CV days, Simon was a musclebound barbarian-looking guy, and have you seen him in the PS version of the X68000 CV, Castlevania Chronicles? I'm not saying he doesn't look cool now (just the oposite, the red hair is AWESOME), but... yeah.
I don't really approve of the redesign of Richter, either, but the old style Richter would stick out like a sore thumb in Kojima's world of ornate costumes and long, long hair.

I love her work.. femme men and all. Thing is I have a hard time with masculinity. And so I really respect her work and all. All hail!!! *bow, worship*
And I was never much of a Richter fan. >_< blegh. He was too plain! LOL. ^_^;
