I might have completely missed the point? I've been trying to follow the continuous reposting and commenting on this piece. But if people are going to comment on sexualisation of Femshep when someone decides to portray their OWN Shepard a certain way, I call bull****.
Honestly, either STFU or comment on the artistic merrit of the piece if you have nothing better to say, because it's hardly disputable it's a solid piece.
So, after all that, chapeau Sorael.A, she looks amazing. Nice shading, Love the hair and hands.
Errr.... I didn't even quote you 
I didn't call you out did I? I picked up on the argument and commented on it. I did say I wasen't sure if I got it right, if I didn't then that's fair enough, but the point stands solid on it's own.
Well now you're just being defensive.
I never denied the quality of the artwork, yes it is good, and obviously the person who made it is talented, it's just people are critical of a bishoujo Femshep statue due to the fact that it's just going to sexualise her (if that Liara abomination is anything to go by) despite the fact that some of these very people sexualise her themselves anyway.
And telling people to shut the f*ck up or comment on how good it is, well that's just rude and immature.
Except that piece displays a realistic, businesslike, and obviously competent Commander Shepard of the proper age that is
sexy without being
sexualized. There's a critical difference. This Shepard is sexy because of the character traits exhibited and the casual situation she's in, not because she is purposefully displaying herself. It's a very good piece of art depicting Shepard in an intimate light, not a sexual one.
Bishoujo exhibits characters as highly exaggerated, juvenile versions of themselves with unrealistic features and with their sexual characteristics on prominent display as the focus of the piece. Liara squishing her breasts together (something she never has done and, if she remains consistent to her character, never would do) in her bishoujo statue is a perfect demonstration of this.
Frankly I'm having trouble figuring out how people cannot tell the difference. I think they're just being dense on purpose.
