yeah thats right

i hate when it slims down fat characters

i hate when it curves out skinny characters

i hate when their warty hooknose is rhinoplasty'd away

i hate when they dont got the stink lines and everything

i dont run into this opinion much. most ppl seem just happy to have hot art. and honestly, im not about to tell artists what they can or cant draw, or that their work isnt valid. but it just feels so...disrespectful to the characters (but less severe than that sounds, since its all fiction anyway)

like man. part of the draw for this character is he's ugly. can you please keep him that way, i like him for who he is

I've never properly played Undertale, but the amount of fanfiction I've seen featuring a weird skeleton man is kind of offputting.

Snape is a good example. He's canonically fugly but that seems to rarely be reflected in fan media.

He still is that way. This is a fan made drawing. Don't like it, don't look at it.

Well that's the thing about fan art - it's personal and it's non canon.

I hate it when fanart takes a character not known for big boobs and gives them big boobs. Or even ones known for it but noticeably larger

Cartoon fanart is pretty guilty of this often. Adventure time in particularly off the top of my head.

heck if i know. bringing this issue to the artist is going way too far though. if the artist wants to depict a character a specific way, thats their right

I get that. Makima from Chainsaw man appeal is she has an air of being reserved, almost unsexual (not that she isn't sexy but her body is normal not sexualized) and yet at the same time she is an absolute freak. Making her thicc ruins this and makes her a different character.

Yeah, I prefer a character be more "true" to their appearance. It can be what really makes them unique and it's a shame how some artists will make them generically hot. Their art though, of course so they can do what they want.

umm, do you know what thicc means? I think you looked at too much fanart and forget what she actually looks like

I mean she is clearly drawn with an ass and tits at several points throughout the series

Someone who was built like Makima in real life would probably be called thicc just for the ass because shes otherwise slim.

The fanart has boobs bigger than her head. Thats not even thicc thats just exaggerated proportions

the vol 10 cover of the manga shows off Makima pretty well

Shes not exaggerated fanart thicc, but shes not overtly unsexualized. Some of the examples youre using are also like inhumanly proportioned lmao

I don't think you got what Gran was saying. You would have had to read the Manga all the way through to the end of part one to get it.

Oh! BotW Zelda is another good example.
Fanart always gives her a massive dumptruck ass.

Hell, I remember playing the game and seeing this:

And thinking "There's going to be a lot of fanart that gives her a huge butt"

Oh yeah for sure

I have a lot of respect for artists that are able to draw non conventionally attractive features (big noses, wrinkles, fat) with care. It's soo lame when people strip out those features that have so much character and just make em generic for wider sex appeal

Here's an image the topic made me think of, fuck what they did to Fio mann

really glad u brought up wrinkles too, cuz this bothers me a lot with older characters too. in fact my 3 biggest bothers are exactly the ones you mentioned - fat, nose, skin

Yeah, that top art was a stylistic choice that they didn't stick with much beyond that.
