Protip to anyone wanting to check the artist's account: don't.

This is likely the safest drawing they've put out so far.

I did not realize this. I found this piece from someone retweeting it.

Well that's fine as long it's only retweets on a specific channel. Is there one that's dedicated to retweeting recent Shantae stuff?

I wish I had read this post sooner.

No, the person who retweeted it was just another artist. This piece was the only Shantae related thing I had seen them reteet recently.

I know that she will get those stuff again, but at least let the minds brace themselves again when they appear.

Its always there for every character and you can't avoid them.

I know some people may find my veiwpoint weird, but I always felt Rule34 is a great way to gauge popularity of a character. If your character is getting lots of porn then they are very popular. its a type of free advertising and spreading your brand.

Don't tell me some people didn't first find out about shantae(or any other female character) from seeing porn of them first.

Thankfully I caught this over on Pinterest so I didn’t have to dig through all that to find this from the same artist:

Somehow, we live in a timeline where Hyper Light Drifter gets a TV show deal before Shantae.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/03/hyper_light_drifter_is_getting_its_own_tv_show_from_the_producer_of_netflixs_Castlevania

Is that game popular enough to justify it? Or maybe the lore wasn't detailed enough. In any case, I could see them take the Samurai Jack route.

Looks like all the more reason I need to get in touch with WayForward to help make that Shantae animated series happen.

 

[Dukefire]

Right now, this is pretty much the closest for shantae to appear on a show.

This is rather nice, I did miss seeing her pants being translucent.



Well, you know the Internet law about anything having that, no exceptions. Especially if the IP in question makes it easier.

Although from what I've heard Cross Ange didn't really get much since it didn't leave much to the imagination as is...

Translucent or no, it never shows up in the games proper, does it?

I can see several other voice actors from the show being in a Shantae animated series as well as the games.

I like how the poll at the top of the thread is so outdated.

 

[Inoj]

JTveemo drew Shantae.

Edit: Maybe too risque to directly link...

Personally I like the poll as an easy pro-shantae count. at least 400 people here think she can make it.
Well I guess it'd go down now that it's the dlc phase. but she still has a chance

Maybe a new poll could be if we think there'll be a second dlc season after this one. I'm at a bit over 50/50 on that right now so I'd say yes.

Your standards arent a good benchmark

I would say it's nsfw (since you wouldnt want an employer seeing that), but it'd be fine in spoiler tags saying that (imo)

I mean, the biggest way to know if an IP isn't popular is if it's obscure enough to not even get porn. For instance, I rather doubt anyone did lewds of Christine from Arkista's Ring...

Translucent or no, it never shows up in the games proper, does it?

Nah. It's usually on some of the promo art that this is seen.

Whats wrong with my standards But yeah I would say its nsfw, bot not bad enough to not be posted under a spoiler tag. Its very close though

Now I feel bad about not know what that game is

The point of putting it in a spoiler tag in that case is so that people can browse the forum anywhere.
nips and cameltoe is not public material. (even underboob is pushing it and could deserve the tags)

Alrighty then. Reposting under a spoiler tag.

I did some looking around and Krekk0v also made some Shantae art. But due to the third image in the set I doubt I can post that one. Extra Thicc though.

And a side note: Shantae art tends to trend for days on Know Your Meme. Most posters seem to be pretty hyped for Shantae 5.

 

[Dukefire]

Surprised that Shantae has gotten a lot more fans after her spirit appearence back in the World of Light trailer for Smash Ultimate. She has come a long way from her humble beginnings in 2002 on the GBC.

I normally put something that may show too much skin in spoiler tags. But yeah nips(even through tops), cameltoe, and very suggestive I wouldn't even put in a spoiler tag. But thats just how I do it

This is a family-friendly forum. I think you should consider that, and if you still think that you're not pushing it with those standards (though you are at least for people at work) then you could talk with a mod to see what their stance is.

I will try to be more careful. if past things I have sent were too much I apologize

Hmm, I wonder if Rotty will be playable again in Shantae 5...

I'm a little concerned they might scale things down a bit now that they don't have Kickstarter money anymore, I don't want HGH to be an isolated day in the limelight for the usual friends (and Risky).

It's been nothing but a snowball effect ever since Pirate's Curse and Smash 4 DLC. Is Wayforward a master of timing and capitalization or is this just a huge string of lucky coincidences? You decide, but there's no denying they have full control over well-placed tweets...

That World Of Light trailer likely intrigued several who may have heard about the half-genie during speculation (or not), online warriors still get to see her from time to time and Wayforward's name is permanently engraved into Ultimate. More thought went into representing this series than you might think when you consider how we got Risky and where they're both situated...

Funds or no, if this game goes back to being a full metroidvania that alone would make it more difficult to give the other characters full-fledged modes. There's always the chance for DLC for a game available on so many platforms.

I think that they re-invented a lot less for this one, seems maybe using the same engine and all, so they probably have more time to develop the game itself. Cant be sure of course, but I would think there's going to be more to play.

All I can say is if it's a more of a metroidvania And we can have different characters then it's going to be an awesome game Will temper my expectations a bit since it could be different than i think.

I will try to be more careful. if past things I have sent were too much I apologize

I just wanted to let it be known, no need to apoligize , but thanks for understanding.

Hmm, I wonder if Rotty will be playable again in Shantae 5...

I hope so too dylly, especially for you.
I hope there's some cool transformations and the other characters as well. I dont really care about bolo but it's still nice to have at least one guy in there. I wouldn't mind sky myself. maybe there'll even be some new ones.

Well most people I know found out about her when we were all hype that a studio was making a REAL game for the DSiWare. Then again, we were all younger way back then.

Just want to be clear I didn't find her via rule34, but I know people have. I see people asking who she is in comments.

While this artwork from someone is old, this does show if WF does make amiibo for her on the time being once released.

Artist: unknown (update once I know to give credit to)

I mean, you would be hard to find a version of Shantae that isn't cute... Maybe blobfish...

 

[Dukefire]

For tonight, I have seen a post that did make a second comparison to Shantae's latest style similar to another. And that one was Tyson Hesse's style of Sonic's design in the short: Sonic Racing Overdrive.

Thanks. Well, as long as she's in the game, I'll be happy. I just think it would be nice to be able to play as her again...
