Description

Like the Xiaomu and Dlanor pictures before it, this is another picture for a friend. Unlike the two previous characters, I have tons of experience with the games Mai is from (both the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series), and she was even my favorite character at one point. These days, Leona Heidern is my own personal Queen of Fighters, but I still like playing Mai, especially in Fatal Fury games. Specifically in 3 and the Real Bout games, Mai has a lot more of a bad ass persona than the bouncy fan service character that most people know from KoF.

This is her costume from Real Bout Fatal Fury Special and Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers, which was requested specifically by my friend, and was something I was happy to do. There is a lot less emphasis on her cleavage, but this costume actually seems to be a large inspiration for her KoF XIII costume, specifically the bow in back. The foot wrap things are a holdover from her Fatal Fury 3 costume, which is a favorite of mine. The pose comes from the start up animation for her P super in RBFF2 (might be in special as well, I forget), where she proceeds to rise up while spinning her fans, lots of cherry blossoms in tow.

Around 12 hours of work, 100% Sai. Mai belongs to SNK Playmore and all that. Nippon Ichi!
