Finally, the finished version of the free public commission I promised to do like six months ago. It was in honor of reaching a certain number of watchers at Fur Affinity (and possibly another milestone of lesser importance). The characters were selected based on votes from the fans, and I have delivered! (albeit ridiculously late, but what's new).
Thanks to temp for watching through my progress and helping with feedback! =}
I really love[d] how you drew Bowser; he's -so- wonderfully accurate to his in-game design/counterpart, and that's just the way I like him. The closer he is to his original design, the sexier, imo. It's a shame most people forget he's a bit of a chub, since that only makes me love him more <3
Yeah, I can't relate to people drawing porn of a cartoony character yet rendering it all super buff or human-like. Maybe these people are focused on aspects other than the overall appearance, and then idealize the remainder of the character to their own tastes. For me, that totally kills the essence of the character's physicality; it's now something completely different (for better or worse, and typically the latter). My typical philosophy is that I either find a character as attractive and draw it largely as is, or find a different character. Of course, even I have some exceptions, such as taking artistic liberties with the design of a character's feet, butt, or genitals.
Genitalia is a hot topic of debate for some people. Since most characters don't have genitals in the first place, they need to be created. One camp uses internal genitals as a logical/realistic solution. While this is certainly commendable, the undeniable fact is, these cartoon characters have no slits or tail-holes or anything of the sort. It all comes down to artist preference, especially when you consider the characters as unrealistic in themselves, and pull it back to see this all as simply art for pleasure. After all, we are not attempting to bio-engineer anatomy for realistic characters.
There are other things I could go into, such as integrity of clothing, personality, canonicity, and so forth. However, in the interest of good ol' fashion smut, these issues are largely irrelevant, and at the very least, not worth further ranting at this time. =P
Heh, don't feel bad about “ranting”, because I don't mind listening. In fact, in context to this situation, I fully get and understand what you mean, Ket. I too share similar thoughts and "standards", when it comes to fictional characters/properties.
I personally -strongly- feel this way about Vivi, and I tend to dislike a lot of his artistic interpretations. I like that little black mage a lot, and I find him just as adorable as I find him attractive/arousing. Something about his simplicity and plump figure just works for me. And when people go and make him more detailed, or turn him into some human shota-bait, it just clashes with my interest/taste...
For me, a more humanized design for him doesn't work, and I always adored how he just was the way he was. That is to say, just a nice, plump, thick, black body, seemingly featureless, apart from the basics, like toes, fingers, the more delicate areas, private parts etc, along with just a rounded head, adorned only with his simplistic, beautifully golden eyes.
That's how I always imagined him; very simplistic, very sexy, and exactly how he's in the game. That's the Vivi I “desire”.
Although the big balls ain't my thing. d: Apart from that, a very good rendition of him, and I love his little penii. It seems very fitting to someone of his size ~
I've actually had thoughts of commissioning a Vivi piece from you for some time, seeing as you're the only one I know who seems to share my "perverse" sentiments towards our little black mage. So hey, if you're ever open for a commission or so in the future, lemme know. ;)

Your thoughts on the matter?
If those work for you, then we're already on the same page. =P
