X-Men - Target Frost ConclusionA week later.

The warm summer breeze brushed softly against Betsy's exposed skin. She was wearing a powder blue summer dress that reached her knees. It was gently flattened against her legs. Her hair was pulled up into a bun but a few strands hung down, causing her to tuck them behind her ears whenever they blew into her face. Betsy was reclined on a bench in Central Park and she was surrounded by the beautiful, swaying green trees. She closed her eyes and took in the sounds of the city. She could hear dogs barking, a baby crying and could even make out the sounds of a couple calling each other some rather nauseating pet names. Betsy could e

X-Men - Target Frost Part 7Psylocke was surrounded by the mists of the astral plane. She was lit by the glowing light of her psychic katana. A purple hue reflected off her body making her look supernatural, perhaps even divine. She stood in an infinite darkness awaiting her opponent's move. She was silent but ready. The astral plane was an odd place to be. There were no senses. Anything Psylocke heard or saw or smelled were constructions created by the mind.

"I must admit I'm surprised, Psylocke." Madelyne's voice echoed through Psylocke's psyche. "Our ideal self is projected on the astral plane and yet yours remains the Japanese body that you were switched into. I wo

Street Fighter - Chun-Liby *Femmes-Fatales

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Games

I wanted to take a break from drawing all of Catwoman's costumes to draw some video game fanart. Yesterday, I drew Ivy and Morrigan while today I opted for some Street Fighter fanart. Here's Chun-Li for you all.

Chun-Li's always been one of my absolute favourite characters. She's someone I've grown up with and she's been such an innovative character I actually look up to. She wasn't someone's girlfriend but a serious Interpol agent whose mission was to bring down Shadaloo. Unlike Samus Aran, Chun-Li's gender wasn't masked nor was it exploited. She was a muscular woman whose style of dress was quite modest. Capcom certainly does give its women a little more respect than is usual with other video game companies. Although, not by much.

Drawing Chun-Li is always a difficult thing. She has a very specific appearance. Facially, her eyes are quite obviously Asian so it's often difficult to try and get them perfect. Her costume is quite detailed and takes a steady hand to get it all right. On top of that, posing is very key to Chun-Li. Since I didn't want to draw an action-oriented pose I just went with her stock peace-sign pose. I know, how unoriginal. Ah well.

In my opinion, she's still the best female fighter in videogames.

*aaronmag Jun 28, 2011

Very nice! While Capcom has screwed with Chun-li and Cammy (IE letting Juri kick their collective butts) they are overall pretty good. The two female leads are people you can look up to (while Cammy dresses in a leotard her story is basically about a girl who learns a very unpleasant truth, but finds the strength to work towards a better future).

But I must agree that, for the purposes of marketing, Capcom does tend to shaft their two leading SF ladies in an effort to push 'the next big thing'.

Well, Chun-Li rarely ever gets pushed aside in promotions. They know that aside from Ryu, she is the real face of Street Fighter. Cammy does all the time though.

Although, to be fair Ken's been getting shafted a lot lately too. He's the #2 male. Hell, I'm surprised Zangief never made it into MvC3 either.

*aaronmag Jun 29, 2011

Ha ha...yeah. You are right. I'm just bitter about that Juri anime. I mean at least let Chun (and Cammy too) put up a fight. Its okay to have them lose, but did they have to get so thoroughly dominated?

*Femmes-Fatales Jun 30, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I haven't seen the Juri anime so I can't really comment. But if it's shown particularly from her perspective, you can make an argument that the fights are actually fictional and that Juri is our "unreliable narrator" similar to Humbert Humbert in Lolita. That means that the events of the anime could simply be fiction and that Chun/Cam took her down.

However, I thought the C. Viper vs Cammy thought was also crap. There's no way, weapons and all, C. Viper could ever take Cammy down. There's just no way.

*aaronmag Jun 30, 2011

There are good things about the Juri anime. As someone put it, "it is pretty good as long as you aren't a Chun-li, Guile, or Cammy fan." Juri basically toys with all of them and it seems to be canon since the game references the anime in the rival cutscenes. IE Juri telling Chun, "Back for another beating officer?" and she and Cammy go off on each other in dialogue for their rival battle. Plus Cammy does manage to 'rescue' Juni from Juri in the anime and her whole SSF4 storyline involves Juni in a hospital bed. It is very short and you can find portions of it on YouTube. It does have some decent stuff like showing a friendship/teammate relationship between Guile-Chun-li-Cammy. Chun-li, for example, looks right at Cammy from her hospital bed and tells her to be careful (or something like that) and so naturally Cammy later leaps up onto a plane taking off to go one on one with Juri in the cargo bay...not exactly following Chun's advice.

Sorry for the long reply, but since you are a fan I thought you might find it interesting...

*Femmes-Fatales Jun 30, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

The idea that Juri could ever take Chun-Li down is just so ludicrous. I think Capcom does it purposely to give these new twats some credibility so that if anyone says Juri or Crimson Viper are crap characters they can say "Hey! They beat Chun-Li and Cammy!" It's lame and it's bullshit. Then again, when has Capcom ever cared about its fans?

Pretty good Chun-Li here. Excellent work here!
