Sakimi Chan (1991- present) - talented Canadian artist who, according to some critics, "has gone over to the dark side," that is, has begun to specialize in erotic content. However, there is no doubt about the quality of the drawing, nor about the rich imagination of the artist herself, her ability to reveal images familiar from games, films, Disney cartoons, and books from a new side.

She takes familiar characters as a basis and redraws their appearance in her own way, adding a bit of eroticism, some anime style, while maintaining the unconditional recognition of the original. There has always been a very good demand for these drawings, probably viewers just want to see matured and prettier versions of the heroines of cartoons familiar from childhood.

Moreover, the artist approaches her work very carefully, her drawings are distinguished by excellent detail, careful drawing, and looking at them, it is very difficult to believe that Sakimi Chan does not have a special art education.

She loved to draw since childhood, and until she was 13, she drew, like all children, with pencils and paints on paper. But then she was given a tablet, and Chan discovered digital art, where she achieved very good results. Her blog already has over a million subscribers, moreover, she was noticed by the famous game studio Bioware and offered a job as an artist-designer. Then there was a more substantial collaboration with the game studio Cloudcade, where for the game SHOP HEROES
Chan created many colorful arts.

Therefore, it is not surprising that many of Sakimi Chan's characters are reworked versions of some computer games and anime. Sometimes she got it from disgruntled fans of the original, who accused her of all mortal sins. But Sakimi Chan treats such statements with a certain amount of irony, in her opinion: "if people do not perceive my artistic images, then this is their problem, a modern artist must creatively rethink the existing visual baggage, otherwise it will simply be an endless repetition of the past."
Beauty and the Beast
Sakimi Chan goes very far in her creative reinterpretation. She often changes not only the appearance, but also the gender of fairy-tale characters. How about, for example, a beauty in the form of a beast, and a beast in the form of a handsome man, or the Joker in the form of a femme fatale?

Particularly impressive is the series of drawings dedicated to fairy-tale princesses and other female characters. They, by the way, are some of the artist's "softest" creations, although they are still clearly not drawn for children.
Thumbelina
But all the characteristic features of the images are present, perhaps this is just a look at how Little Red Riding Hood, the Little Mermaid, or Alice would look in the future when they grew up. For example, according to the artist, Little Red Riding Hood became a stern warrior, capable of dealing not only with the wolf, but also with a gang of robbers.

Alice has grown into a charming blonde, and the little mermaid Ariel has become a fan of music and is ready to listen to it all day long.

Thumbelina hasn't grown up, but she has become much prettier and has acquired the figure of an adult woman with all the appropriate curves. Incidentally, for these very curves on familiar fairy-tale characters, the artist was accused of sexism, allegedly, she simply rides on the excessive adult attractiveness of her characters, without thinking much about more original and less provocative ideas.

There may be some truth to these accusations, since Sakimi Chan currently works primarily on Patreon.com, and to really succeed on that site, you have to specialize in racy content. That's the reality of today's online art market. However, Chan believes that an income of over $30,000 is probably worth it, and those who accuse the artist of "specializing in smut" are probably just jealous.
