I dislike jacked-up Tifa so much. It always reeks of fetish. If I was into that shit, I'd look for it. I hate when people's fetishes leak into their art so blatantly.

I have that exact problem with that particular artist. I mean, sure, maybe an-IRL Tifa would be built like a brick shithouse because of all the working out she does, but our FFVII Tifa doesn't look like that. Also, all the faces are the same.

So, in which
orifice of Jenova's head do you have Seph thrusting his Masamune today?

I was expecting that question lol
My art thread is there for everybody to see. I don't let fetishes bleed into my commissions or my other works. It isn't diffcult at all, you only need to remember that fetish must be confined to porn and that's it.
I'm with the first draft of the comic, I'm at the part when Jenova is molesting Sephiroth. It's gonna be a trip, I promise.

It's called being professional.

Liking and disliking an artist's style is absolutely acceptable. Having some criticisms regarding the person's work is also ok, but I personally don't think it's right to criticize the art of someone who is not here to defend/explain themselves.
Not trying to be rude here or preaching anything really. Just my two cents

It's a matter of taste, though, isn't it? Some art I like and some I don't. The artist in question has a pretty big following, so clearly plenty of people love and relate to their work. But since it doesn't float my boat, I wouldn't be interested in knowing why they choose to portray Tifa thus. That's their business. Knowing the rationale behind it wouldn't make it more my cup of tea.
I just get kind of tired never being able to say that I don't like something that someone in the fandom produced. TBH, why would they even care if I liked it or not? Saying you don't care for someone's style of art isn't an attack on them personally. Picasso doesn't do it for everyone either.

haha, not reallyYou must have a hard time in art museums
And I'm actually work with art/creative direction, so I understand that criticism is something normal and something that you must be able to accept without taking it personally or else you're in for a terrible ride in this field.That said, my concern was more about that fine line between criticism and being dismissive of someone's art just because it doesn't speak to you personally. Plus, that person is reachable (unlike most other artists like our fellow devs, lol) and posted their fanart in their personal account, never here. So, I feel a little bad to see their work being talked down without them being able to take any benefit from it.

I think that's one of the reasons artists discourage reposts of their work.
This artist has a very particular vision that just doesn't resonate with me.
In general, I don't enjoy fanart that portrays any of the characters as significantly different from what they are in canon. If they get changed up too much, they feel like different characters to me.

I don't think they're a bad artist, but I always figured that they were an SJW type trying to shoehorn thicc representation into everything since all their depictions are either stacked or overweight. Was this their reason?
That being said, it's their design choice, so I probably don't have the right to talk shit about it.

From what I understand, that's pretty much it. They got rid of Jessie's boob armor because it's sexist, the made Tifa swole because she's supposed to be strong, they made everyone w i d e because all of them looking like supermodels is unrealistic, they make Tifa and Zack ambiguously brown because the game lacks representation. It's all in an effort to make ff7 "less problematic" but I think doing that in the first place is pretty problematic all on it's own. Rather than embracing characters that actually have those traits they just apply them to something they already like, I pretty much see it as artistic black face tbh maybe that's going a bit far.
That said, that's just my opinion. They're free to do whatever they want.
