Chun-Liby *kevinwada

The first lady of fighting is here! I participated in a group project with fellow AMAZING artists Dean Stuart, Mike Manomivibul, Grim Wilkins, Colin Nitta, and Jonathan Stagnaro for APE 2012. We all claimed different characters and my first inclination was to do Yun and Yang, but no one was repping the ladies. So, of course, I had to go with Ms. Chun-Li here.

I had to give her her famous thighs, but I was tired of her default costume so I went with this one instead. Still purely her, but much more suited to participating in ass kickery. Wanted her to look powerful and focused. She got some major muscle booty.

Has a beautiful flow to it, I cannot describe it correctly, just, a water like flow, I enjoy the watercolors or am at least assuming it is. My only real complaint is her face just seems to be the last place my eyes want to go, though I feel it should be the first place, it's so beautifully done, but it's hidden in dark colors in a picture filled with vibrant colors. And it's a shame too because the face says so much in this picture as it does most of your work, but that seemed to get hidden in this.
What I find my self looking at is the red of the underside of the shirt down by her right breast. And as the others have mentioned, I like that she's not made the way she tends to be in most pictures and games with over sized "assets".
But still, despite the face thing, it is still an amazing piece of art and everything else seems well in order if not perfect, I love your style and I still think it came out amazing.

What do you think?

First off, kudos for not making her the bloated-monstrosity-that's-more-breast-than-human that she's usually portrayed as by the fandom. I know that, as a female character that's placed in a fighting game made up mostly of male characters and targeted towards a male fanbase, she's supposed to be eye-candy, but you've managed to make her more than just a beautiful and dangerous woman. The picture conveys a feeling of quiet and serenity as she practices or engages in combat (which is left up to the viewer, another plus for this piece). Her femininity is apparent without being thrust into the face of the viewer, and you've managed to embrace in a realistic way the body proportions of an athletic woman.

On the flip side, while she hasn't been drawn as the overly busty, lustily plump sex object she's often seen as, she isn't mannish in form, either. The shape of her breasts and posterior, as well as her arms say "female" without making her seem weak, while her powerful thigh in the foreground can hardly belong to anyone but an individual who engages in some leg use-heavy activity (running or, you know, kicking the crap out of random strangers).
