The idea was simply to match the two closest illustrations and cosplay photos I could find. And that picture is far less manipulated than most of what ends up in magazines. It's especially weird if it's just an ordinary photo of a girl they're airbrushing to the point it looks like a cartoon. This woman is supposed to look like a cartoon and she hasn't been altered all that much. I think the photographer, lighting director, model and makeup artist did a very good job all in all.
I don't want to fight with you. I'm trying to ignore things you say that are mean and things you say where I'm not quite sure if you're trying to be mean. Are you trying to make me 'take the bait'?
Just be honest, and say it clearly and concisely. Don't make me second-guess myself and everyone else all the time, I've had enough drama for today. If you don't like me anymore, just say so, If you don't care what anybody else thinks.
