Is it just me, or do I really not like how fanartists draw Vivian (Paper Mario 2: The Thousand-Year Door) on DA?

It's... I dunno. People tend to usually draw her as a voluptuous figure, with big poofy lips with lipstick and such. (And well, Puri has a big humongoid HATE for huge poofy lips in art) I think sometimes with big boobies too. Am I one of the few who doesn't see Vivian like that? In the games, she portrayed as shy, submissive, innocent and sweet. But if you knew nothing of her character and looked on DA for art, you'd think she was a slut. oO;;;

I prefer Vivian art as to how people like Swammi draw her: I see her as cute, not sexy. I mean, if it's a character like Rouge, I would understand. But for Vivian? Nuh-uh. Just feels OOC to me. :/

A lotta these guys just seem better off drawing Flurrie instead. XDDDDD!

I agree with this message! 8D Vivian's too cute to have giant boobs and lips!. D:

I agree as well. D: Then again, this is DevART. Can't really expect IC fanart a lot of the time. *shot*

Oh, hey, [livejournal.com profile] peachifruit? I've been meaning to ask you for awhile, but would you mind if I added you? XDD I really like your PW sketches. Thanks.

Man, I haven't draw Mario fanart in ages! But I agree. I'm.... not a huge fan of how fellow artists draw Vivian. >_> Though if I draw her again I should make her flat-chested to appeal to Japan and their crazy male version of her b=u=;;

The world needs more flat-chestedness. *nod* Wasn't the whole ZOMG-VIVAN'S-A-BOY in the Japanese version proven to be a hoax, though? That Beldam was just insulting Vivian and Mario took it the wrong way into thinking she truly was a guy?

I drew one real pic of Vivian once (the rest being doodles) but I can see where the voluptuous thing comes from. She DOES have a rack there, and a curvy body. But the lips thing kinda goes far for me. It seems to be uncommon to have big boobs and NOT be sexy. XD
