Description
I have been wanting to draw Krystal for a long time! She's my favorite character from Starfox.Related content

Heads up, the guy posted it again. This is the fourth time I've seen him do it. Oddly enough, I was pre-emptively blocked from his account even though it's brand new. I wonder why.

Heads up. Some person keeps reposting your image: This is the third time I've seen it.

That was fast. The account has been deactivated.

so... she canonically doesn't wear any underwear.

That is incorrect. In SSBU, Krystal's textures were not given any details in that area, and the incomplete textures that connect together in that location due to model mirroring resulted in a darker area with surrounding white. I confirmed this with Nintendo via letter.
The original Star Fox Adventures model did have the textures in this area of the model completed, and it is very clearly a bikini bottom.

You don't know how textures work if you think that. You can clearly see spritework cleft.

I know how textures work. I'm a former graphics programmer. I've built rendering engines from scratch.
I've personally examined the ripped texture directly as well, outside of the shading context of the in-game rendering. The texture is shaded to indicate a relative darkness between the thighs and continuing on into the buttocks area in the rear. The seam that is so often considered by you guys as indication of genitals is in fact a literal seam in the texture mapping, where two unconnected areas of the image are forced to appear directly next to each other on the model. The slight variation between the color in these two areas creates a very slight light effect at the point where the two texture positions converge. This is an artifact of how the model was built, not textured genitals.
This was confirmed by my letter to Nintendo.

If you promise not to distribute it, I will PM you scanned copy of the letter. PM me if you agree to those terms.

No: If you had real evidence, you wouldn't be afraid to make it public to support your argument, so post the letter here.

There's absolutely nothing about me making something a personal letter public that would make it more supportive of my case to you than sending it to you privately. It's a private letter and contains sensitive information about me that I don't want made public, but I was willing to send it privately to you since you doubted my claims.
However, I can tell from your response that it wouldn't matter if I sent you the letter or not. You wouldn't accept it even if I posted it publicly.

"There's absolutely nothing about me making something a personal letter public that would make it more supportive of my case to you than sending it to you privately."
Yes there is: the fact that others could see it instead of seeing a comment chain that just terminates.
"It's a private letter and contains sensitive information about me that I don't want made public, but I was willing to send it privately to you since you doubted my claims.
1. Why on Earth does a letter about an Assist Trophy contain personal information?
2. Why can't you just [REDACTED] the personal information?
"However, I can tell from your response that it wouldn't matter if I sent you the letter or not. You wouldn't accept it even if I posted it publicly."
You have no letter to post. This was all a gambit for me to stop replying, creating the illusion that you had given me proof, and you failed.

The letter was only one supporting argument. The other arguments included my personal history of expertise of how textures work in computer graphics and my personal examination of the model and texture from the ripped asset, which you or anyone else could confirm if you took the time.
Here's a scan of the letter, redacted as you suggested.

And just so you don't move the goalposts and say that I don't have any graphics programming knowledge, here's a video of one of my projects from my Master's thesis research in 2009.

You can verify the model texture layout for yourself by downloading and reviewing the texture coordinate mapping on the actual in-game model using free 3D editing software like Blender3D.

Please apologize.
Edit, to address your specific statements:
1. The ability for YOU to see the letter would be sufficient to confirm it to YOU. I didn't want to show it to others because it contains personal information and it was private correspondence. I was not interested in confirming it to anyone else. The thread wouldn't have to terminate. You could have left an edit comment saying "He sent me the document, and it was as he said," and that would be that.
2. Why did a personal letter contain personal information? It's called a personal address (which can be redacted), and a private conversation (which I had no intention of making public knowledge and cannot be redacted without removing all letter content) because I don't make a habit of publishing my personal correspondence.

I will not apologize, for the following reason:

Literally the only difference is the level of visible detail. Guess what? Corporations lie all the time, and this is one of those times. If she were playable instead of being an Assist Trophy, she'd cause a scandal bigger than what Watch Dogs 2 did. Checkmate.
As for your responses to my 'specific statements':
1. Don't bring up information in a debate unless you intend to actually present it.
2. Then just remove your personal address from the letter, silly. This debate isn't about your Zip Code.

I stated from the beginning that the model-texture symmetry was the cause of the incorrect assumption on your part. The letter was only supporting documentation, but by no means required to show the truth of my statements.
As I predicted, even by showing you the document, IN THE WAY YOU ASKED FOR IT, you have denied its veracity. You are a liar and a cheat. You frequently say things that you know nothing about like how I "don't know how textures work". And you post a picture of genitalia on top of it, just for that extra bit of class.
1. I was prepared to present it. From the very beginning, I offered to send it to you directly. You demanded a specific kind of delivery of the document which was beyond what was required by a significant margin (publicizing it and redacting it). You are unreasonable.
2. Firstly, I did redact address information. However, the more important matter is that I never had any intention of making the personal correspondence public, you imbecile. By making it public, it can never be personal correspondence ever again. You've taken something from me and given me nothing in return but childish denial and a picture of a women's genitals.

I posted that image to show that in spite of your claims there's way more going on there than a simple texture seam: care to explain the darker blue, heart-shaped patch directly above the "texture seam" that's visible in any lighting? The fact that the entire area around the "texture seam" is shaded to imply a division between her pubic area and buttocks? That's all there. The "childish denial" is yours.
Then again, seeing how much of Krystal you have in your favorites, and your user name (seriously... "Mr. Krystal" is just silly) i think we know what your ulterior motive is. If this became public knowledge they'd actually have to change it. Perhaps that's why you didn't want the letter to be publicly available: it attracts unwanted attention.

For the 3rd time, you can verify it for yourself by viewing the model textures and UV texture mapping on the actual model, in 100% detail with no lighting at all. But since we can all see that you are lazy in addition to being a liar, I've taken the trouble to extract the exact part of the texture in question.
files.krystalarchive.com/Kryst…
As you can see, the "heart-shaped patch" isn't heart shaped at all, but is merely where a shaded, rectangle-shaped area in the part of the texture between other parts is stretched and mirrored across a model seam. What you are interpreting as genitals is literally leftovers on a UV texture map, because the artists didn't intend for people to look there, the area is undetailed, literally unfinished scraps. My letter to Nintendo confirms this lack of intent. Deny it all you want. I have technical expertise and the actual authority backing me up on this.
Going for the personal attacks again are we? Classy. As for the letter's privacy, the Krystal Archive (the world's largest Krystal website I've run for over 14 years) is strictly safe for work and the last thing I want is for edgy teenagers running around on the internet talking about Krystal's genitals. So yeah, I don't want people talking about my favorite character's genitals as if that were a defining characteristic, especially since her genitals are not there. Apparently your alternative motive is to post porn on DeviantArt and argue about stuff you know nothing about.

archive.is/md7Rm - Take a look at this thread.
"you know all those smash bros screenshots going around of Krystal's cameltoe (or, like… not even cameltoe. that's when it's through clothing. I mean her, like… bare vulva.) so I've been like "lol, that's embarassing for them—but it's almost certainly just an unfortunate artifact of the way the texture is mirrored right there, of course"... but then I remembered—years ago, I gamesharked my way into a view under her thong in the original game and she was wearing underwear. whether or not somebody purposely added a visible cleft there (and setting aside the question of how the game shipped without them noticing it either way) at the very least. someone definitely DID go to her texture map and say "hmm, well, let's just get rid of that then"
(...)
"OK, following up on this thread: her model's finally ripped! www.models-resource.com/ninten… … And the upshot is: it's a totally different UV layout from the original. They didn't "edit them out"; they just failed to put them in. I assumed they'd be working from the original models, even if they were subdividing them and painting over the textures in higher res and so forth, so the only discrepancies could be deliberate changes; but this looks much more like a total remake, just referencing the original. so: someone at Nintendo still sat down to make a texture for Krystal, and, apparently lacking any reference material that showed what decision the team at Rare made last time, definitely literally decided "it makes sense for her crotch to be completely bare""
archive.is/vtQMu - Verified. Obvious heart shaped pubic hair over vulva cleft.
Don't act like Nintendo would just casually admit that this is hidden in their E-10 rated game. Literally everything you say is a lie, and you're lying about immediately observable facts: like how you tried to call that a "rectangle" when it's literally a valentine's styled heart when NOT stretched: look at the model link up there. I also love how you said "because the artists didn't intend for people to look there" as if the old and experienced developers of Smash Bros (especially Sakurai) never expected the primarily male, teen playerbase to look up her skirt with the new, free-angle camera system they put in. Get real.
The fact that you run a 14 year old unofficial shrine to this shallow sex object of a "character" is suspect in and of itself.

Listen, if you want to continue attacking me personally and insisting on conspiracy theories, please send them via private message to me directly. No point in polluting this artist's post further with pointless back-and-forth.
