YOU EVER SEEN THAT 1 EPISODE OR MAYBE EVEN A MOVIE WHERE(MOSTLY IN EPISODE FORM)THA BAD GUY/GAL IS "MISTAKEN" FOR THA GOOD GUY/GAL AND THE AUTHORITIES AND GENERAL PUBLIC ARE(not nearly enough SO here-->)SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO QUICK TO BELIEVE THAT THE GOOD GUY/GAL THAT THEY'VE ALL KNOWN & LOVED FOR SO LONG HAS BECOME EVIL AND THUSLY REPLACES ALL THAT LOVE & ADORATION WITH CONTEMPT & HATE...I MEAN SAVE FOR A FEW LOYALISTS & DEVOUT FOLLOWERS IN SOME INSTANCES!?!
BLAZE FIELDING SOMEHOW DOES NOT EXPERIENCE THIS SEMI-PERFECT/FLAWED CLICHE WITH THIS INITIAL CLONE THAT SHARES MANY OBVIOUS TRAITS WITH THA HEROINE AND DIFFERS VISUALLY IN HER AFFINITY FOR GREEN CLOTHING AND ANOTHER MINOR FEATURE I'LL TALK ABOUT LATER THEN A PHYSICAL TELL-TALE SIGNATURE OF THIS IMPOSTER IS HER ENHANCED AGILITY & ASKEWED FIGHTING STYLE THEREOF YET FAR HEAVIER/DENSER BODILY STRUCTURE!!!

Juuust in case it's not obvious enough...I'm doing something different and not only releasing art based on a villain but I'm releasing "it" before I do the art of tha hero...What -- Pois-?! I have no idea what you're talking about(lol)though in this case I will say I'm cheating by tha villain being an exact visual duplicate of tha hero! I've tried researching this and found no real reason as to why tha game has you battling against a palette-swapped imposter of tha game's 3rd protagonist! It is kinda suggested that it was due to a stunning lack of creativity after vast prior creativity+thinking it would become among tha classic surprises in gaming years after and I think it succeeded! I "still" remember how stunned I was so long ago that there was an enemy(a boss no less)that looked about exactly like a character I didn't select initially! I also thought I might find out something like they ran out of memory and had to use a duplicate copy like they did with Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat though...ah well!

Blaze Fielding@Moon-Beach Front

Yeah well, this is not apparently Blaze Fielding from tha Bare Knuckle/Streets of Rage(tha series/comic/video game)for Sega Genesis c. All Rights Reserved and whatever else! I think this is tha part where I'm supposed to inform you that I DO NOT own this imposter(whatever forces generated her being...notwithstanding)or tha Sega Genesis for that matter; I'm just your average, run-of-the-mill, law-abiding Deviant that knows Blaze Fielding from a Flippin HOLE IN THA GROUND!!
Before I waste any more space, I feel tha need to inform _(whoever's reading this)_ that I didn't draw this; well not mostly thereof! This is actually an awesome colorization by my good friend DV_elee0228, who commissioned DV_Felsus for the line work, and then I was commissioned for -- OK, I wasn't really commissioned for anything; I just took matters into my own hands!
I literally JUST finished work on this version in time for Memorial Day after waiting until nearly tha last minute to finalize everything...I normally don't do that sorta thing! Tha main reason this deviation exists is because I wanted alot to attempt a course of depictions  I haven't really done before! I think that's all we need to discuss here; so...
