This obviously professional artwork and not mine.

But I still want pros and cons.

Is the art style good?

Pros
Ass is good. Comic book style with harsh shadows lends to the atmosphere of the game with isolation in dark caves

Cons
Its style is in service of its world and story. Taking it to another genre will be like taking a fish out of water.

a real question rises up from this truth.

Is it fine for an artist to change their style to fit the story theyre telling, or should they stay in their lane for the sake of marketing themselves?

There have been muscisians who take on other projects that are out of their usual genre they're known for. The quality is decent, but it never lands as well as what they're known for.

Is it likely because to sell it, you have to be authentic? People will buy goth music from a goth because they live and breath that genre, but if they try another genre, it will be seen as pandering, because they are not of that tribe.

As an artist, this hurts. You can't venture out of what people know you as, because it will come across as dishonest. ruining both what you have established, and what you're venturing into.

As the bible says. "One can not slave for two masters."

There are two issues that happens when you make a split.

1: You're no longer able to sell yourself. If all you care about is the craft, then there is nothing to worry about.

2:While focusing on the craft, you're energies are still split.

There's the question as old as time. People rely on your consistency they want to see you as a tool for that specific thing. It will hurt you in the algorithm to change up your style, and you will lose followers you'll also gain some who like the new stuff as well. Not so much an artist but one I have documented is the CoffeeZilla guy, he started as a couple of channels, got popular as Coffee Break then started outing fake gurus on his secondary channel as Coffeezilla and now he's outting NFT scammers. Personally I liked the fake guru time but more people enjoy him outting Logan paul so I can't get mad. Unlike youtube your art will take a dip when changing styles but it's been done before by artists, Rapoza has done it a couple of times. People still enjoy Ruan Jia's work even though I don't like the style change.

I can tell you don't draw female buttocks. Samus's ass looks dumpy and flabby. Stop just paying attention to the size and look at the complete, overall look.

I think the reason her ass is so divisive a topic, is that her right buttock is a lot better than the left. Might be a matter of which you focus on. I don't think the outline of the left is that bad really, but it's incorrectly lit so it looks kinda fucked up.

Overall I think the style of the image is fine, but the artist needs to grind his fundies.He's hiding a lot of jank under those heavy blacks. Frankly her anatomy is a mess, the small of her back in particular.

No, it doesn't. You're just thinking "Oh, look at how round it is".

Well yeah, her right ass cheek is round, but it still folds over onto her thigh. Maybe they did that on purpose, I don't know. But her butt does look flabby.

These nitpicking of anatomical issues doesn't answer ops question on whether the style is good or not. If we fix those small errors it wont change much of the overall aesthetic.

You and the rest of you critiquing that are morons. You're missing the forest for the trees.

She's putting her weight on her right side. Her left cheek is "flabby" because its not contracted. Jeezus.

She's putting equal weight on both feet/legs. If your ass cheek (the creasing line) curves upwards towards your hip like that, it's a flabby ass. Period.

The whole picture maybe exists in Nintendo's vault, but not on the internet.

And my point still stands until you can explain why it's wrong instead of insulting me.

I know exactly what flabby butts look like, and that is a flabby butt.

Cool, then lets make a deal. don't slam the door on me with a 'Period' cause you want the conversation to be over. Its rude.

Pic related is what I'm seeing.

Even so, my point also still stands, because we are missing the forest for the trees with these details of anatomical missteps.

Properly placing the features of the face is a fundamental skill, even if the figure is drawn in a stylized manner. This picture is encouraging in a way. It shows that even works like this are capable of selling. It makes sense that this was kept in a vault, though.

Yeah it is, but you're ignoring the bigger picture for some stroke of your ego.

Those details, the ear being slightly lower than what is 'correct' and her butt shape, if changed to what you think is anatomically correct, wont affect the overall piece. They would if the were to cause a major change, if it was a major issue, but its not an issue. Youre aiming for the absolute center of a target board when the dart is already in the center. big whoop that its on the edge of being center, its still in the center.

With that being said, the forest here, is the overall piece of artwork, works, it gets the point across. Its a pulp science fiction character in a dark world. It captures the games aesthetics.

Forget it, there is no arguing with perfectionists. I'll leave this post here for food for thought.

I think you place her left leg too far back.

But it really doesn't change my point, her ass still looks flabby and dumpy.

That's very subjective.

I don't find her flabby ass appealing, but people here obviously do, maybe because they're more used to fat women.

All arts have an appeal to their respective audiences and they are their pros
The cons are that either the style is not popular or only applicable in certain areas

Inside the trigger guard is white instead of the background. Just a mistake.
The right hand pinky is really weird and I'm not sure what's supposed to be happening with it.
Overall for style at a glance the face is really angular and flat, much more stylized than other parts of the pic. I think the stylization is actually uneven across the pic which gives it an odd quality

No. I point it out. Samus's ass is obviusly flabby. It's sagging. It's folding over her thighs.

But people either don't see that, or they think it's hot because they're so used to fat women.

Original has a very protruding face with deep-set eyes. It looks oddly masculine. The shapes are still a bit odd in my edit, but I think a smaller distance between the eye and nasal bridge works.
