Canon and Perception
If you've been following my work for a little while, you might have noticed I try to stick to canon as much as I can. Regarding character personalities, language spoken, but most importantly, on what they look like.
Gold Shot #1 - Full Moon is providing a good opportunity for me to share my opinion on the matter, using Momiji as an example.
In the Ninja Gaiden games where she was first introduced, Momiji was ... quite big.
However, it seems Team Ninja has a tendency to jump around a lot when it comes to the measurements for these characters (Ayane is also a victim of this, even without taking DOA6 into account).
Beyond the initial hype following her addition to the fighting branch of the series with DOA5U, one of the first pictures of her struck me.
Don't know about you, but I feel like there's quite a nerf going on here, compared to NG.Personally, I don't like nerfs. Not gameplay wise, and certainly not when it comes to measurements ! In my work, I would like to stick as close as possible to how the characters look like in the games, that also includes how tall/small they are depicted in canon, or through the official measurements. But when a nerf happens, I will default to the biggest they've ever been. In the case of Momiji, that means I will give her back her bountifulness from NG. It should be apparent if you compare how she looks in my work compared to DOA5 :
Quite a noticeable difference, don't you think ?However - and that stands for all characters - I will never go above the biggest they've ever been pictured in the games, so do not expect over exaggerated boobs from me, like it can sometimes be seen in other NSFW works :
With all due respect to my fellow artists, I think there's a point where not only it's too big, but the essence of the character is also lost.
tldr; Nerfs are bad. I won't stand for it.
Thank you for reading me !
