Self Fanservice: Difference between revisions

** Perhaps the most notable example is [[Badass Bookworm|Patchouli]]: loli-lovers draw her [[Pettanko|flat]] and, well, loli-esque, big breast lovers give her larger breasts and an adult body and everyone else makes her "medium-sized" and teen-ish. It helps her character type fits either way, and that her clothing is baggy enough that her body type is totally ambiguous.

** ''Touhou'' is a unique variation of this trope. Characters are not drawn more attractive merely to be more attractive, ZUN is simply a terrible artist and therefore fans improve on them in an effort to portray their "actual" appearance. It helps that there are official examples, significant improvements to characters' appearances present in any work in which ZUN did not draw them, most notably in the fighting [[Gaiden Game]]s and ''[[Universe Compendium|Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.

* ''[[Disgaea]]'' characters get this done to them sometimes, although it's almost always [[Pettanko|Etna and Flonne]].

** On the other hand, [[lolicon]]s find Etna and Flonne ([[Stripperiffic|especially Etna]] to be an excellent source of fanservice just the way they are.

* Heloise in ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''. In the show, she looks like a little girl ([[Word of God]] says she is [[Vague Age|14ish]]). In fanart, she's a very busty and very [[Evil Is Sexy|sexy]] figure.

* Venger from ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (animation)|Dungeons and Dragons]]'' is sometimes illustrated by fans as beautiful slab of beefcake with long flowing hair under his cowl.

* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' is getting this treatment too. Expect to see lots of bishonen versions of the characters, yaoi of the main characters, and sexy humanized versions of Perry the platypus.

* There's a considerable amount of fan art for ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' that features human versions of the characters of the show. While most of it is G-rated, many artists take advantage of the opportunity to make sexier depictions of the characters without nose-diving into [[Squick]] territory.
