Wow, you actually found some fanart which captures her face. I wasn't able to, but then again I didn't feel like looking too closely. [...]
Gelbooru, then go to the last page, then move forward from there.
With some odd exceptions, for anything "weeaboo" you want to search from before the Obongaphone (though even the iPhone in 2007 and in combination with the coming "economic crash" "forced" tons of normalfags online, so it's a wider issue than just that stupid Halfbreed) existed:
Weeaboo culture, but especially "Punk Weeaboo" (like /b/— I'll write a longer post about NMH in the
Punk's Not Dead thread later, I've been meaning to for a while) has completely disintegrated (gentrified and bulldozed by the Brown Faggot Striver Ressentiment Apparatus) since Obongo (TopDrunkee said it's because the Archons didn't start paying attention to the intarnet and GAYming until then, but same difference IMO) took office:
I bring this up is because "freedom" (particularly individualistic freedom, which is what Web2 internet culture was about and for) and the ability to render the human form in ways that don't look like shit (projected self-hatred) are intertwined:

[...] As I know you are both a lover of the arts and anthropologist, can you answer for me what's with fanart which completely changes the face of a character? This may be an odd way to phrase it, but most gaijin fanart feels to me like the "character they always draw" (or perhaps only one they've bothered learning how to) wearing a costume. Like a character creator in a game with only so many heads to choose from. Lack of talent explains it partly but not fully. [...]
A bunch of the shit on here is wrong (who the fuck cares about "King of Queens" or Kim Possible? Toonami was also weaker by TOM 3, though I agree with them that whatever that gay ass TOM 4 shit was fucking sucked dick and it leaves out that "Anonymoose" aka
Project Chanology was a fedop that hijacked /b/'s anarchic culture to weaponize it against Scientology because they're butthurt at Hubbard from beyond the grave from how epically he pwn3d them with
Operation Snow White) but it's a decent outline of what I mean when I say "Obongo"— which I'm not bringing up arbitrarily:

[...] Shouldn't copying be easier in theory? Forgive my ignorance here. [...]
"Copying" is actually the solution and the problem (because it's the root itself)— we've been in a ("
Stuck") culture of self-hatred since the end of the '00s (which is when the "extended '90s" post-9/11 economic bubble finally burst, bringing us to where we actually were after September 11th, 2001):
I'm citing the late Mr. Kaczynski here, not to place all the blame on a nebulous "libtards" (though that is also correct) but to connect his "oversocialization" concept to art and
especially fanart— which is now (though it doesn't have to be, at all) inherently directed by communal (censorship faggotry) sensibilities.
To finish my point, and get back to the thread subject:
Here is the best fanart of Samantha (who is definitely the Hottest Gaming Babe in killer7) I've found, which was, unsurprisingly and to my point, made before Obongo was installed by the Archons, by someone who does not hate themselves (or at least didn't when they made this).
"Death of the Author" was bullshit when it was written, and it's only dumber now— there is no separation nor will there ever be. This isn't to say that if someone does good work in one area that they're infallible in another (though that can be true and for that reason), but that the former "work" being "good" is the direct result of WHAT that person is, and any attempt to argue or fuck with that is not only pointless, but hugely counterproductive.
So, the reason we've seen degeneration in "fanart" (characters, faces, etc. being misunderstood or made worse) is simply that we're witnessing an expression of general degeneration in people— chemical, spiritual, and otherwise.

Re: Vice City bombshell: It changes nothing about my ranking but I would just like to add that I find red lipstick and/or nails on a woman to be nauseating.
I agree, but I think it works in illustration.

Help me to get it for the tekken
I can't tell if this is a spambot /spam4 or a 3rd worlder (I'd prefer the latter) good avatar though.
Anyways, Nina Williams is the hottest in the Tekken 2 intro. I've never played any of the Tekken games because I generally find any game without exploration really fucking boring (TopDrunkee had commented before how the only games anyone talk about on the forum are adventure games
right as always), but, if there was a Tekken version of Shenmue that would probably be one of my favorite games ever— since there isn't, I'll have to make it myself (eventually).
