I wonder if she flosses her teeth too

Funny, I was gonna say I'm getting a bit of Signalis vibes from the design

Reminds me of Fireball Charming. Like an early prototype of the robot from the show:

I never get tired seeing P90 in sci-fi works. such an iconic profile.

Reminds me of Aigis from Persona 3.

There really should be a standard high school class dedicated to cable management. I know cyborgs that age can find it embarrassing but without education they often end up resorting to poorly secured zip-ties.

Her mother unit needs to sit her down and explain that she’s reached the age where she’s going to find extra wires.

Robot teeth are probably way better than real ones

Well that is oddly unsettling.

Hang on.

I shouldn't show my distaste for your kind of comment because you (and others) might stop making them?

How is that ironic?

Making you go away, is the intended result.

Last word

What?

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

If it's not for you... Just dont?

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?

You do this every time, dude. The pure irony of you trying to make people feel bad over basic commentary, while asking if they think it's bad to enjoy it, you just drive down engagement with the art.

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 mean, yeah, kind of. I didn't downvote it or anything, but if I had to rate it on a star system then 1 / 10.

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 legs most obviously being enhanced by technology.

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

Chun Li is a character from a popular fighting arcade game series originating in the 1980s and still sees installments to this day.

This is Chun Li in SF5:

This is Chun Li in SF2:

Admittedly, the waist is quite thin in SF2 as well, but the legs and by extension the posterior thickness could be said to be her trademark and character defining characteristics. Honestly, the girl in the image in the post looks like somebody who only works out once a week.

Which of the 11 article pictures on her SF wiki charachter page, would you consider "regular" Chun Li?

I'm genuinely confused why you'd comment that. Art of fictional charachter by different artists looks different.

Fine. Don't elaborate.

Huuuuuuuh?

What?

Quite a bit scrawnier/thinner than regular Chun Li, isn't it?

You're... not far off. Ayre is from Armored Core 6, she is a coral life-form. She "invades" the player characters mind, how things turn out depends on what decisions you make.

Coral grows naturally on planet Rubicon and is a sort of hive-mind. It can be used as an energy source, if you don't care that it's alive.

This version of her is from the route where she takes control of the ultimate coral-powered AC in order to kill the player. She's the final boss, a planet-sized conciousness controlling a mech.

Thiugh in the game, she never appears in any physical form, until a she rolls up on the player controlling this mech.

For a moment I thought this was some kind of mecha-cthulu...
