Mai Shiranui - Girl Power

Share

Mai Shiranui (The King of Fighters).

I made this for Girl Power Collab ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Girl-Power-Collab/266986900128886?pnref=story ). The theme was “functional redesign”.

I have no problem with Mai’s clothes, she can use what she wants, like any woman, she can fight with big boobs, but what’s not supposed to happen is that she gets treated like an object instead of subject. So I did’nt change much, just put on a bra (our boobs hurts like hell when we run or jump without something supporting them) and enhanced her gloves and socks, because Mai can make and control fire, but she is not imune to it (lets pretend that these clothes are fireproof).
Mai is a real badass, only man would think that a woman who fights with fire would need to seduce someone. I didn’t change the sexuallity on her because sexual woman can figth too, but please guys, think better of female characters, we don’t need to be sexy to be powerful. <3

that impressed me a lot, what a wonderful work!!, i love it, the fire effects, the expression, in a simple way... i love everything! great work!!

nice! that's hot!

Wonderful work! I love the fire effects! I love the costume, it dose in fact look a lot more functional! You did an awesome job on the different textures. The pose is very logical, and it shows a sense of power and grace. I love the wild hair too, it has great texture and style, although if I were her I would cut it shorter, if not shave my head all together. I like how you took the costume a step further buy making a lot more functional and battle ready. I took the liberty of looking at the original, It shows a lot more skin and in many ways was highly sexualized and a bit ridiculous if you ask me, it doesn't even follow tradition Japanese attire. Anyway you made a good executive decision to add a bra and cover the extremities, she looks a bit more like a fighter now instead of a exotic dancer.

Really Thanks for the feedback *o*

I was insecure because I did'nt know how people would see this, I change too little of her clothes, I tried to focus on her pose. @_@
I'm glad that you like it! <3
