Description
So this character from Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, I hear that in Japan, Vivian is supposed to be a male and not a female... but did that stop me from drawing it as a female? Nope.I haven't played this game, so I don't know anything about it or Vivian, but I did like her design, so I drew her. ^_^
The background was.. eer inspired (Copied) by Monato Esprit's (Another game that I don't know anything about but has GORGEOUS character designs) website's front page design.

at the end of theΒ Β japanese version Β it truns out that Beldum was just bullying Vivian and Goombella toke it the wrong way Β
in fact Beldam Β said in the Japan version to Vivian what are you saying that you are not a man? Β that mean's that Buldom thought Vivian was a manΒ becauseΒ she is a tomboy or Beldam being aΒ BULLY that gommbella toke the wrong way and Mario pit it in his book base on what Beldum said

Considering Vivian would most likely still look like that while still being a guy, ahaha.
Good job~

Vivian is the best female Mario character ever (Aside from Rosalina...) and I don't care if she's a dude in the Japanese version of PM2.

She looks beautiful
I think it was just an insult when bedam said she was a boy. Besides if she really is a he then it would be ironic since she is the cutest and girliest of the sisters (Marleene looks like kind of like a man and Beldam is as ugly as hell).
Pluse, she's a shadow siren and sirens are only female

Vivian wasn't actually a boy. Her sister, Beldum, insulted her by saying she was a boy. It was a joke, but the mass fucked it up by taking it literally, and the argument was changed when it was dubbed to English.

i lve vivian. She was my favorite in paper mario 2

Supposed to be male, that's weird seeing they call themselves sisters and all, lol.
Still breath taking work on her elazuls-core, you've done what alot of people might overlook and that's really getting into the detail of who Vivian really is.
The adding of bust kind of fits her looks from the game but nevertheless that is some A quality design work you got here and hats off for the work with her eyes/hair, bravo!
Later,

Nice drawing though

Vivian was a boy in the Japanese translation?
That disturbs me for some reason.
π: 0 β©: 0
this is so awesome, but im not sure if she was supposed to be male, cause she still acts in the game like a total girl 
Well, maybe vivian name was male's name in asian, or something like that
But still, i love your artwork, it is awesome!!

You've never play Paper Mario TTYD? It's the best Paper Mario in my opinion
I've heard about this thing of Vivian being a boy in Japan. But it seems that when her sister (whose name I forgot) call her a boy it's just a way of insulting her. You know how people translate Japanese...

Wow! I love your rendition of Vivian. She's in a great position, and I like the gloves, but I have the feeling you made the body a little too forced. She has some really strong curves and bones near the waist, and usually girl's boobs aren't so perky unless they have implants. It would look more realistic if there weren't shadows around the tops of them and they were just coming down with shadows underneath. That other eye that you drew underneath the hair also probably wasn't necessary because the hair is covering it and it just makes it look kinda messy. :/ Plus it's lower than the other one- doesn't really fit the rest of the structure of the face. Know what I mean?
Well, I still love it! Maybe I'll go check your gallery now.

A late reply, I'm sorry! But wow, thanks for the critique! ^__^ Yah, I'm starting to realize that figures need to have more gravity, better lighting, more realism in my drawings. The more helpful criticism I get, the better!

i luv those silver eyes and the curls in the hair! pretty! vivian must be sad b/c her sister beldam(oldest) just punished her for no apparent reason and rewarded marylin(middle sister and dumb as a stick) for nothing...it's cuz beldam's jealous. u should do the other two evil sisters getting executed together by vivian...not to ruin the game or anything, but viv betrays her sisters...u should play it...great game. u should draw the shadow queen!

Oh I love Vivian... she is my fave partner.
This image is so great... your talent has no bounds.
Keep up the goodness.
Fav.

Oh that's cute ^_^, I loved that game and Vivan was so fun to use, it was sad how her sister treated her.
π: 0 β©: 0
She's a she, through-and-through. The male-thing was just a rumour - which, apparently, even the supposedly all-knowing Wikipedia fell for. Just for your information, of course. ^^
Hmm... I've already commented on this picture, so I'll settle for a "nice", here, too.
Nice.

Vivian was an awesome character and one of my favorite allies to use 
π: 0 β©: 1
I'd use her a lot too, if I had that game. She's puuuurple, and cute.

Vivian's a dude in the J-version? NOOOOOO! But, uh, great drawing still. Allow me to get over my shock.

That's what I've been hearing on other people's fanart of Vivian on DA, but not everyone seems to know and/or say it.
Hadn't played the game, but I heard that he kissed Mario a few times, too. xD

Last person I told about Vivian being a boy in the original version got angry. . . =_=;
What a bum.
In any case, I like your version of Vivian waaay more than the game's version <3
Sexy ghostness.

HAHAHAHAAA! How dare video gamedom's weird cases of domestication question someone's sexuality?! Tha AUDACITY OF IT ALL. Maybe it wasn't quite like that, hehe, but that's still funny to me.
Thanks, Soly!

Domestication questioning one's sexuality . . . I think that's what happened to Poison back in the Final Fight series as well, leading to so much confusion up to this very day XD;
π: 0 β©: 1
Poison's too hot to be a guy... and lookit her shorts! Where's she gonna hide... Uhm. JUST NO, not a boy! xD
Oh yah, and the US versions seemed to have the Poison character looking less sexy, as well as Cody's girlfriend not being shown all tied up, stripped of her clothes other than her bra, and prolly some other things to protect da yewf from such things in those days.

Changing genders, un-sexifying characters and removing stripped and tied-up girlfriends... have they no morals? ;___;

That game was pretty racey or something I guess. 0_0 I mean, I didn't remember much of it cuz I've not played it all the way through, but I remember da game over screen. Your tied up character, a close up of their face with dynamite all around it, and 9 seconds to continue. That's HARSH. Makes ya really wanna not let the guys game over, tho, I mean, it'd just suck if Guy had to explode. =<
π: 0 β©: 1
Woah! XD
I totally do not remember that... and I played Final Fight a lot at the arcades...
The original Ninja Gaiden arcade game's Game Over was creepy too from what I remember. Ryu is held down by tentacles or something while a spinning saw slowly crawls down while the 9 seconds countdown does its thing.
Eek.

A buzzsaw, I remember that! Man, back in the old days of arcade games, failure was NOT an option, huh? 0_0
I really sucked at that game, so I saw that scene quite a few times. ;_; It was a fun game, tho. Made my cousin and me want to make our own ninja based video game, hehe, so we designed charas and enemies and junk, but that was back whenever I REALLY sucked at art, so I'd probably laugh at them if I saw 'um again.

Ahh that's some really nice cel-shading coloring there! Hehe I couldn't help but to remember that ghost pic I did last year. Is she (he???) a ghost? whatever it may be it's got really nice anatomy
I find it amusing that the BG almost looks like done with vectors o_O
You did nice job here, man, keep it up!
