Fio from Metal Slug sets the internet on fire with bold artwork

The Metal Slug video game saga is one of the most iconic ones out there, and it was part of many people’s childhoods thanks to its fun titles1. But something else that it also gave us almost unexpectedly was a lot of “waifus”. The heroines that we met in the different games knew how to win the hearts of the players, and one of them was Fiolina/Fio Germi, a sweet girl who became one of the main stars of all kinds of works made by the Metal Slug community, such as cosplay or illustrations.

To illustrate this last point, we have some recreations shared by the user of the Pixiv platform “なんでもあいな/AINA”, who used an Artificial Intelligence to show us all the beauty that Fio has to offer to all the fans, especially in her front area, which, enlarged, will be the main focus of attention in the images2.

Fio is recreated by Artificial Intelligence in this Metal Slug artwork

The new illustrations of Fio from the Metal Slug video game saga surprise in many ways for several reasons. Whether it is because the images are the product of Artificial Intelligence that dedicated itself to recreating Fio in a special way or changing some details of her original design to make it more appealing to the public and presenting her with a huge buff in the area of her chest, the illustrations will fascinate the fans of this character.

There are different aspects that were respected to recreate Fio, being the most evident how she has the same military-style clothing that she has in Metal Slug, and that in this case helps a lot to accentuate her whole figure. In addition, other parts of her clothing such as the green jean shorts along with a vest of the same color have also been respected, and being open they let us see that the AI decided to give her a great increase in this area, helping even more to make Fio considered a “waifu” in every rule.

Although the recreation will steal the eyes of the players thanks to this previously mentioned increase, the facial features of the Metal Slug character are also very good, making it clear that even in this type of illustrations her beauty resides not only in her physical attributes. The illustrations also respect Fio’s essence by recreating her in scenarios such as jungles, where the green color combines with the color palette that she has in her clothes. To support the creator do not forget to like their content and share it.

The girls from Metal Slug like Fio managed to gain a lot of fame among the game community, almost unexpectedly if we consider that this saga is not characterized by trying to attract the attention of the players with “waifu” type characters as they do, for example, gachas, but with several scenes within the different titles the girls always had a more “daring” air, as a clear example of this we have the classic animation of them when acid fell on them, which unlike men who were left “in bones”, they lost their clothes, leaving them almost exposed, something that the community loved.

The Metal Slug saga is one of the longest-running in the world of video games, which with its classic style of running and shooting in 2D scenarios, managed to position itself as one of the best in its genre, becoming even emblematic in terms of gaming. In these titles the player will have to control a soldier, who will face different enemies of all kinds while getting more and more advanced weapons to face them, in scenarios full of action and excitement.
