Another Chun Li redraw

After seeing the redraw previously posted on eschergirls I wanted to try

a) Posing like an escher girl

b) redrawing

c) using photo references

Like many ladies who have tried the spine breaking poses, I found they really hurt. I also wanted to see if I could turn Chun Li’s pose into something less eye-watering whilst still keeping boobs and butt. The pose I eventually managed to photograph myself in  captures bum and some sideboob, maybe more so than the original image, whilst still in keeping with the fighter theme.

Instead of drawing from scratch, I traced the photo in order to keep it as anatomically correct as possible, I’ve included it faintly in the middle image (but only faintly, as I had to get down to my underwear in order to make the body contours fully visible).I would like to have made my redraw more toned, muscle wise.

Personally I like Chun Li’s outfit, but I always feel that the skirt is split so high, wearing underwear must be impossible so I added a pair of shorts. Now she doesn’t have to feel quite so revealing with those high-kicks. For a more dynamic image I would opt for some skirt and hair blowing in the wind, and a face.

Faces are important too.

Yeah, I think not seeing a face, and the expression that would be on the figure is a big reason a lot of the redraws don’t look as exciting as they probably would in finished form.  I like the way you’ve cut the skirt and the clenched fists. :)
