drawing her with no bloomers? please japan get it right

>>11600044

Bloomers restrict your movement. A martial artist wouldn't wear them.

Meiling should fight naked.

>>11600047
Doesn't she wear those baggy sweatpants-styled things normally? I know she has them in 12.3. Artists omit them most of the time.

I fukkin LOVE nopan!

>>11600067
Not him, but, if we follow the rules of canon attire, then yeah, that's her most recent look.

But in terms of her profession and preference of style, a martial artist would never wear clothing that would restrict them of their movement.

Same goes for parkour.
I dare you to slide through spaces using tight pants.

>>11600068
What have you done!? That's disgusting, you should take a cleansing bath to clean yourself from all impurities as soon as possible.

Meiling has the best art.

>>11601238
It's true.

Xie Xie!

How old are chinese dresses anyways?
I always thought they looked a bit too modern compared to kimonos and such.

>>11601306
the "chinese" dress is the manchu costume worn during the qing dynasty

>>11601230
but those are the same pants yun from street fighter wears

>>11601321
Yun? Small fry.

>>11601238

In fairness Byakuren and Utsuho give her a serious run for her money in that department

But I love her anyway. While Byakuren goes maximum saint and Utsuho goes maximum badass, Hong Meiling has a great combination of badass and silliness. It's perfect for a touhou!

>>11601321

Have we ever figured out what exactly Meiling's outfit is supposed to be based on?

It doesn't quite match up with anything outside of the vague allusion to being Chinese-styled.

>>11603313
Does it have to?
Maybe its just a western vampire's idea of what a chinese dress looks like.

>>11603313
Mao cap, cheongsam, kung fu pants

>>11603317

No, not really.

I personally enjoy the idea that its basically a knockoff made by Sakuya after getting some vague descriptions and sketches from Meiling about how one should look.

>>11603323

I don't know why people think it looks like a cheongsam, her dress is clearly several different parts: a vest, a shirt, a skirt, and a pair of pants.

>>11603442
See these are the kind of ideas I like. Its cute.

The pants are a must though.

你好

>>11603445

Well of course.

As far up as the cut of her dress goes, its odd for her not to wear pants. Besides that, her usual movements during exercise would kick her skirt up way too far to be decent.

>>11603442
>I don't know why people think it looks like a cheongsam
Because there's such a thing as a 2 piece cheongsam, and it has the characteristic split in the skirt.

JAAAOOOOOOO

>>11603594

I haven't been able to find any examples that look similar besides the split in the skirt.

Not that it really matters. Part of the fun is doing all kinds of crazy shit with all the different characters' outfits. Having them be in the same thing all the time is boring.

>>11603511
Freedom of movement trumps decency in combat.

>>11603787

If that were true, she should ditch the entire lower part of her outfit.

Its only split on one side, and a skirt in general would just get in the way, right?

>>11603809
Well, I said that, but she's still got her limits.

>>11603740
You need to compare to official ZUN art. Also neither the sprite or the portrait shows kung fu pants. That was added in 7.5 because martial arts.

Also ZUN was really into frills and puffy shoulder sleeves for EOSD.

>>11603824

>You need to compare to official ZUN art.

I am. Still not seeing it.

>Also neither the sprite or the portrait shows kung fu pants. That was added in 7.5 because martial arts.

I know. I still think it looks supremely better.

>Also ZUN was really into frills and puffy shoulder sleeves for EOSD.

Yes, yes he did. Its actually kinda funny.

How good an escape artist is Meiling? How dexterous and flexable is she?

>>11603875

Considering she's a trained martial artist with years of experience, I would imagine she is both very flexible and dexterous.

In fact, since youkai are supposed to be so much stronger than humans to start with, I don't see how she could stay tied up like that.

>>11604086
>In fact, since youkai are supposed to be so much stronger than humans to start with, I don't see how she could stay tied up like that.
Well that's not quite true. All youkai are different. Not every youkai is faster than cheetah, stronger than elephant, immortal etcetcetc

>>11604086
Magic ropes? Ropes made nearly invincible by faith?

>>11603809
It still allows for freedom of movement for the most part with added benefit of masking kicks. There's a fighting style specifically for fighting with dresses or other billowy clothing to hide attacks and cause effective feints.

>>11604491
jp never ceases to amaze me with its knowledge

>>11603824
I thought they added the pants in IaMP because they didn't want her flashing panties every time she kicked, like a certain other Chinese fighting game character.

>>11603468
I wish I were Koa in that picture.


>>11607039
ZUN delegating designs and artwork to others results in things like that.
Supposedly he gives her approval for those. But sometimes he seems to oversee things.

And sometimes he seems to decide on things that mess with actual canon.
Like I was playing GFW today, and I had totally forgotten that Cirno was able to flap her ice wings.
Well, I think we can just Black_Tewi.jpg things like this I suppose.


But we shouldn't be so strict. I do like Pants and no Pants on Meiling.
Maybe she uses those when its rather cold, and has her well toned and long legs on full display for everyone to admire when the weather permits.

>>11607082
She doesn't leave her legs bare for people to ogle them. Don't be rude.

>>11607087

There's been an awful lot of Meiling threads lately.

And I'm not even responsible for any of them.

>>11607222
That's because she's the best

Nice trips

>>11609109
Why is it still Japanese and why is it only the top? The picture doesn't need censoring.

I want China and Patchouli to have cute consensual lesbian lovesex.

>>11609180
post it nerd

>>11609180

It just seemed like the exact situation where I'd get banned out of the blue.

I'm paranoid like that.
