If Ark Royal's previous skin's quotes are something to run off of, I'm scared to know how diabolical she'll be in this skin, especially considering her location and attire.
Wait, if the length of her legs is 120 cm, then her entire height should be somewhere around 240 cm?
Feels like your classic case of artists (like sci fi writers) not properly understanding scale sometimes, because holy shit that would make her taller than Shaquille O'Neal... that would also make her taller than some or at least be in the size range of fucking space marines. What the fuck.
I can only count 9 notches on the red ruler she's holding - there's probably a tenth hidden behind her leg, but there can't really be more than ten assuming that the spacing between each notch is consistent (which it should be, or else that's a really crappy ruler). Because of that, the red ruler probably only measures up to 1 meter instead of 120cm. Also, Ark Royal's legs probably make up a larger portion of her height than they would for an average flesh and blood human, given the type of game she's designed for, and those legs are being further exaggerated by her heels, so having a ~100cm crotch height on a 170-180cm total height wouldn't be that implausible.

I’d make the argument that Azur lane had this issue from the start. It’s not this artists fault, they’re just following the trend set by those that came before.
Also, I genuinely thought this was supposed to be swimwear, and i still feel that it is. Mainly because I want to be ignorant to the obvious connotations of her wearing this at an amusement park.
The perspective is supposed to be looking up at Ark Royal but the artist kinda screwed it up by drawing the character first and then just pasting her onto the background without really considering the scale. I mean, look at the bench on the left, that should be enough to tell you that this picture shouldn't be taken seriously as evidence for her height.

I wouldn't put it on the artist specifically, as the character designers are usually only responsible for the character, not the rigging or backgrounds. Those are usually handled by another in-house artist. So that mess is all on Manjuu.
