Naughty Bits Art Remaster! Genma & Ranma-chan: Rubbing it In
🕑 Added 2025-02-17 17:18:41 +0000 UTCRanma-chan has been scoring lots of battle victories and getting cocky. Now this overconfidence will lead to a HOT MESS that she won't easily scrub from her mind!
Remastering details:
Remastered in UHD.
Numerous splotch & noise cleanup.
Replaced the ancient Tendo bath background with the latest build.
A legacy note about the format of this art (with some recent commentary): "We (The RHB Team) had planned for a panel of Genma leading off, but ended up dropping it for various reasons (The art for it was horrible). So there's only one image in this NB page, but that image does feature a pretty nifty transparency effect."
That "nifty" transparency effect was rather non-functional the farther the reader's eye traveled left, so we've overhauled the presentation so Ranma's body is firmly behind Genma instead of "bleeding through" the front.
The "double blush" is overkill, so the hard black blush lines are removed while retaining the reddish flushed coloring.
The scale of the characters was out of whack, with Genma seemingly too small because Ranma was way too big. While our options are limited due to body contact between the characters, we did what we could to shrink Ranma's body (and ego) back down to proper size.
How can issues like the above happen? Well, the artist involved on this one was new and learning Ranma, so that was the primary culprit behind the problems. However, we don't want to simply skip over our less successful works, and promised we'd post all Naughty Bits updates in order, so we're keeping true to that while being humble about some of the struggles in art production along the way.
The original Ranmabooks release is included for comparison so that patrons can see how much the quality increased!
Attached you'll find variant art including: X-ray (Text & Clean) & Solid (Text & Clean) Editions, along with the Original Un-remastered Editions.
Until next time patrons, Genma has vowed that if he ever receives such a bountiful opportunity again, he'll start his own "winning streak"! Yet a rematch has yet to take place as Ranma prefers to spar with Ryoga lately. Turns out, she might be on a "losing streak" with him as well! 😈

Behind blinkered like that, Ranma may be asked to do worst if he continue to lose 😉
