Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • …there’s the gooner friend, showing as much skin as possible. There’s the default skin friend. There’s the friend who put together the most hideous discordant combination of colors available. There’s the fashion friend, who put together the best looking combination possible. There’s the “I just made everything my favorite color” friend. There’s the “I spent 10 hours in the custom 3d shape editor to make an elaborate reference” friend…











  • I feel strongly about this. If this is the kind of engagement I drive down, good.

    Fanartists arent capcom teammembers trying to maintain consistency across depictions by different people. Fanart would be boring as hell if everyone just copied the original.

    Some artists don’t like drawing muscle. Some don’t like drawning men. Some enjoy swapping the genders of charachters. Some enjoy turning them into furries. Some enjoy making the feet bare, or hide the hands because they’re too difficult.

    Fanartists avoid weaknesses and lean into strengths in ways official content cannot.

    Who cares whether it’s right?


  • I like it. Am I doing something bad by enjoying it?

    You’re not doing anything bad by disliking it either, unless you’re actually trying to tell me I’m wrong for enjoying something.

    Imagine drawing a character with their defining features stripped away, completely unnecessarily and not as part of a “what if” of sorts, and expecting fans to react positively. Imagine cyberpunk Sumo E. Honda weighs like 140 lbs because the future cured weightloss or some shit. Chun Li does not skip leg day. That’s not Chun Li.

    I have absolutely no problem with artists doing whatever they enjoy. Why do you?

    Does this rendition damage the original in some way? Because it doesn’t. If you take offence here, that 100% a you problem. This does not have to impact your enjoyment of the “real” thing, at all. You are merely letting it.

    There is no such thing as a charachter trait too intrinsic to change.


  • I’m aware.

    This version of her is a cyborg. She probably doesn’t work out at all. Her “trademark” (as if anyone outside capcom needs to care) has been translated into her to legs being whas has most obviously been enhance by technology.

    I’m still not understanding why you felt the need to comment. Did the fanartist do something wrong?
