Dear patrons, I want to ask your advice.

Today, one of my patrons informed me that the actress who played Lady Dimitrescu had passed away and urged me to respect her.

This news saddened me very much, and I feel very uncomfortable drawing this character in depraved poses.

On the other hand, I am not drawing an actress who is no longer with us. I am drawing a character from the game.

In my drawings, I change this character's facial features, which can be perceived as cosplay.

I am overwhelmed with conflicting emotions. I do not want to offend the young actress's bright memory who left this world so early.

Please express your opinion, what should I do?

A- You must not draw Lady Dimitrescu anymore.

B- This is a fictional character from the game. You can draw her provided that you change       his facial features.

Death is never a bad thing. It happens to us all. Art is art. The game was finished and its fantastic. The character she plays is still with us. I don’t think she would mind if artist still kept her Legacy alive. Even if it’s lewd.

Honestly, I don't think this is something to vote on. Whether you feel comfortable drawing her is something only you can answer for yourself. personally, I'm ambivalent.

Not to be "that guy", but I believe there has been a misunderstanging. As far as I know and found online, yes, an actress in Resident Evil Village died the 24th of January, but she portrayed one of the DAUGHTERS of Lady Dimitrescu. Her name was Jeanette Maus. I'll look around more, but for now no mention of other RE:V actress dead.

Only a euphoric Yes is a Yes - you know the answer...

Also, just my two cents: you are drawing a character, not a person. It would be morally questionable if you draw Daisy Riley raped by two soldiers in a building elevator. It is perfectly good to draw Rei raped by two strormtroopers in a Star Destroyer elevator. Well, at least, perfectly good as long as you like hentai ryona artwork, but that's beside the point. You are not disrespecting the living, breathing, people who play the role. You are simply playing "cowboy and indians, porn version" with imaginary character. That is why I think you shouldn't change the face of the characters involved: they're characters and must look like them, IMHO. All this said, it is your art and you shouldn't ask us. It is NEVER, EVER right to force someone to do something he or she isn't comfortable to do. You should simply decide, let us know of your decision, and go on with it, knowing that you'll gain some Patreon, lose some, or both.

Hmmm maybe you could draw her in sexual positions, but not over the top like dark kinks... Make it look consensual. I am sorry that I saddened you about her new news, but it is something that had to be said... Pretty much don't degrade her bro :)

not to be rude but it wasnt she who designed the giant oversexualized vampire lady she voiced, im fairly certain that if she knew the internet she was well aware what kind of fan art and parodies that character design would spawn

It was the actress who portrayed one of her daughters that passed away. You shouldn't feel any guilt for creating art of the characters. Especially since the person in question who came to you with this complaint is 100% in the wrong.

You are creating art, which will keep the Character's memory alive.

I can understand your dilemma. However, stopping to draw her at all would be a sad thing. You could opt for taking a break from drawing this character in a lewd scenery for a limited time, as a token of respect to the actress having passed away. As others have already pointed out, this is a fictional character which has been given "life" by the voice / motion-capturing / what-so-ever of an actress and not the actress herself.

my perspective, I'm not at all a gamer, I don't know an xbox from an A-hole. I'm into comics & I'm into good lewd drawings. so I don't really care. but it's kind of peculiar following the lewds scene and see these same totally unknown to me characters show up in these waves.

As others pointed out, do what makes you feel good. That being said, Lady Dimitrescu is a virtual character, nothing more nothing less. You are not publicly portraying yours (and ours) sexual fantasies about a living person without consent, its a 3d model, a bunch of triangles that look like something real but isn't. There is nothing wrong you are doing and you shouldn't feel uncomfortable.

A character is a character and a person is a person, and some people can't tell fiction from non-fiction. That said, do what you do best, artwork. If you want to acknowledge the actress and her passing do so, either as a tribute or as a caption to the artwork. Thanks for the art.
