>And I think that's worth more than the nudity, though I too have been known to enjoy pretty girls being naked. But there's always fan art for that in regards to wakfu.
We'll have to agree to disagree. For me "canonical" fanservice/nudity is just on a whole different level of cool. Fan-artists very often tend to completely change the personality of the character and draw them in scenarios they'd never find themselves in and have them behave completely out of character. So often times I find myself looking at Rule 34 of franchises, and feeling I look at some drawing with a similar design rather than at the actual character.
In fact, at the risk of sounding like a weeaboo, Japanese smut is far less guilty of that. Because, over there a lot of the time smut artists are into the franchises they're drawing, while in the western rule 34 scene much of the smut is drawn as commissions, by artists who don't follow the franchise, or in other cases the pic references some meme or is drawn for some contest, or has some pop-cultural reference that requires the characters to behave in an unlikely manner. Not that there's anything wrong with that, people with the talent (or the money to commission) drawing the pics have a right to produce whatever they want. I'm just explaining why nudity in a canonical work means a lot more to me than fan-art.
The nudes of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy drawn by Bruce Timm might not be the most technically detailed Rule 34 of them, but they impress me way more than any fan-art. Similarily, I saw very detailed nudes of Bulma on pixiv, but the times she appears top-less in the manga (despite Toriyama's simplified drawing style) titilate me way more.
Because, for me, when someone heavily involved in drawing the official work (or even better the sole original creator) draws the character nude, only then does it feel like I'm looking at the actual character, fan-art is nice, but it's not the same level. Especially, when it comes to franchises like Wakfu where 70-90% of smut is drawn by artists who hardly know the characters they're drawing.
And I'm aware this post reads like someone autistic wrote it, who overthinks stuff majorily, but you said you "don't get it", so I was merely trying to explain my thought process, so that you better understand it. I totally respect your point of view.
Besides, as I said, I'm aware they'll never do uncensored nudity in Wakfu, they market the franchise for kids, so they'd have to face a huge backlash. It's fine and I understand it. A duck censor is fine, too, just not what I would prefer.
