don't delete the other one - this one's blown up

Actually, if you go to the artist's FA page, and download the full size version of this picture, it's 1.5 MB at a resolution of 1300 x 1224 pixels. That means this IS the higher res version, and the one that e621 should keep. It's also the version that should have been uploaded in the first place.

He's about to blow alright.

The joys of thinking up ways to interfere and make this horrible.

They're only experienced when severely bored otherwise.

the other one seemed a bit more crisp.

Hmm...seems like everyone forgets that fox has metal robotic legs, not normal ones. Fox's hides his legs under his shoes and pants, other than making his robotic legs look like real one.

What will it take to get you as severely bored as possible? :DD

Continuity kicks in here, as does retconning.

Umm... what are you trying to say?

Originally, yes, Team Starfox was given robot legs for the sake of not having blood rushes during flight maneuvers. However, the creators of the game retconned that.

Hmm... I did not know that, then again I thought Nintendo stop caring about starfox.

Headcanon says they got cybernetic implants as upgrades to replace the sawed-off legs.

We do see fast-cloning in the comics, after all, so it's not unlikely they can just pop their legs back on whenever they need them.

They retconned it at either Adventures or Assault.

Yeah... there's no way that they were going to have Krystal cut off those lovely legs of hers, so she could pilot her Arwing.... They must have made it to were the arwings use some sort of field for the cockpit, or something that makes amputation unnecessary.

But, then again, bionic legs WOULD explain how fox can do his flaming fox attack, in Smash Brothers... Perhaps the Starfox team actually DID need to amputate their legs, with the Earlier Arwing models, and Krystal happened to join after they upgraded the Arwings to where amputations weren't necessary?

Holy dayum this is a great piece, dont ever see enough krystal art. shes pretty much the one who made me a furry

holy fuck this is hot

The field you mention is the G-diffuser system. It was introduced in Lylat wars/ Starfox 64. The only real reason they had metal legs in the original game was a budget reason for Nintendo: it cost too much to render a full character so they skimped on the legs and invented the metal legs thing to compensate for it. It's been retconned since 64 so 1997...
