Question about artwork for a game

[Jandulsy]

So, i've been thinking about creating a parody game from an anime show.
But i can't decide what to do with the art because, if i try to draw the characters from the anime show, let's say, "Naruto", the art might not end up not be a little bit different from the original, the girl might be a little bit taller than on the show, maybe look older, bigger boobs and etc.

But then i thought... what if i use some scenes from the anime to draw the girl so it would look at least 95% like the original, would that count as "stolen art"? Would people come to my thread and say "aah stolen art, shitty game!!!" because there are scenes on the anime where the girl look's exactly the same as on my game(with a similar pose too since there is a limit of "standing still" poses you can draw)?

I'm asking because i can draw but it would be hard to make it look exactly like the character on the anime, and if it's not going to be just like the anime, what's the point on making a parody of the show?
I think my question might be a little bit confusing but well, i hope you can understand.

Thanks!

A parody isn't necessary to re-create the characters exactly how they look, but to make the characters resemble the originals enough for the audience to recognize them.

For a parody I like to see it stick to the original, looks and proportions closest to the best of the artists ability. I think that's the whole charm of a parody. Putting those same characters in lewd situations.
Blowing up tits "cuz big tits better" throws me off and defeats the whole point of it for me. This for example.

But yeah, that's just my opinion and I bet there are also plenty that like that kind of stuff. Since it's based off something people will be more vocal regardless of what your choice will be.
As for tracing, I don't see a problem with that, even Good Girl Gone Wild got shit because the artist traced real life porn scenes, but the game is quite popular and many people like it.

So just make what you want with the tools you have at your disposal, have fun and don't mind the negative comments. You can't please everybody.
