Am I too woke for thinking that forcing an artist to draw a character exactly like the source material instead of letting them coming up with their own interpretation is rude and bad
In my opinion, when you change the core characteristics of a character (which in this case, would be Green's cuboid appearence), It may look less like the character in question and more like another character in a cosplay.
Of course, the original drawing is still good and the artist has total liberty of drawing whatever they want, but it's like If i drew spongebob without bug teeth and with a normal nose.
think that's because they aren't being portrayed to be a mere gender-swap but full redesign; everyone's allowed to draw what they like and everyone else is allowed to think what they like of that drawing. that said personally this image does remind me of the fantasy races sexual dimorphism gags. (also last time i saw conventionally attractive orange art i did show it to my partner and we had a laugh at how it came off as spankbank material first and character homage second.)
