Very big difference

Hi guys 💖, I hope you are doing well
The game girl is very different from her reality. I wanted to ask what is the reason?
Thankful

Mostly... copyright. A girl parody cannot be fully recognizable, or those having the rights for design can claim it. Being KK a commercial activity, is not like a fanfiction, it monetize. KK can be suited for monetizing on top of other people design. So it's really better to avoid a character can be fully recognizable by just the design.

If a trait is very distinctive of a character, it must be changed. In this case, the short hair, red colour with the power arms *can be enough* to recognize the character. So, better to change this stuff.

The whole game design is based on this premise. Artists apply discrection to what they change (as you can see by the different versions). *BUT* they must change up to a degree.

Although its also true KK goes a bit far in their redesigns. Parodies must be different enough so it cant be mistaken for an official product slash copy. Doesnt mean you have to draw them totally unrecognisable. That often seems to be an artist ability thing. Not so much a KK demand. Some artists are just not that good (for example some draw the same faces over and over no matter the character, and with body types that are far removed from the original, eventhough theres no need; thats just the artists ability), some are very good and the parody is very clear.  In my opinion the ComixsH artists make designs that are often, not always, a lot closer. If you picked another pose from the top example, this wouldve been a good example.
