Description
I was in a pretty crappy mood when I drew this. The plain ol' redhead would be me. And the angelic bombshell would be the world's widely-accepted perception of beauty. Which is most certainly not me. While part of me doesn't WANT to look like that at all, a big part of me wishes that the world would see MY type as beautiful too. But it won't happen, so I guess I'll stick with having a nice personality and leave it at that.

Very strong concept. Sexy outfit the 'ideal' wears. I dig it.
On the personal note; from what I've seen, you seem attractive to me. I really, truly don't get it when a comely female ignores her image in the mirror. What is wrong with you girls? Girls are weird...
Here is something you may find surprising.
My first girlfriend was the furthest cry from the ideal I originally sought, but when I shared my life with her, I realized that she actually was the most beautiful creature that ever existed. (...which doesn't help me cope with that second and final breakup 2 months ago.)
I guess my point is you don't have to be the world's vision of ideal to become the individual's vision.

Come on! Is it really important to have long blonde hair, DD cup breasts and long slender feathers. Oh wait, those are fictional.
I'll admit that, initially, I would be attracted by the girl with the great bod. But in the long run. I would rather be with some one I can talk to, the interesting personality over the empty one. Get this, there's this Mexican model named Sabrina who has increased her breasts so much that the skin on her chest has become so tight it hurts, and she has severe back pains because of the weight she carries. Still, she wants to make them bigger, for she wants to go into the Guinnes book of records as the woman with the largest breasts. Can you imagine having such an empty life that you choose that as a goal?
If you're half as pretty as the way you portrayed yourself here, you are a beautiful young woman. You want to look prettier? Smile. You'll be amazed how that simple gesture will improve you appearance.

Hm, I don't know what to say about this...
Sometimes its nice going after the girl on the left... but its not always about looks. I prefer the girls on the right.. and find them more attractive on the inside (annddd on the outside) the thing is the "cuter" girls tend to like themselves more and have more confidence....
I totally love the girls on the right, but hearing them talk about their flat chest or, different styles, or social differences and so on gets tiring and honestly.. its a slap in the face and an insult to what i like.
Tell my girlfriend shes beautiful only to be told, no, you're wrong.. i'm fat.... well... blah
I used to think the same things about me.. but you just got to learn to like yourself and not worry about other stuff.... as long as you like how you are, it doesn't really matter..
Then again, i'm sure its harder being a girl

Dang. Even considered that you may be hanging with the wrong crowd? That's not for me to say, of course. I'm sure they're your friends for many good reasons, but if spending time with certain people lead to the doubting of your own beauty then hey, maybe something needs to change right?
Ah, well. You know you better than anyone.
I ain't exactly a looker in my own eyes either, but I know at least a couple people who think I'm pretty hot stuff and by the look of all those comments.. so do you.

It's not always friends. Sometimes it is, and I try not to blame them for it because I've never TOLD them it hurts when they do that, so why expect them to know? Sometimes its just random guys. It happened a LOT at Meps, because I usually ended up sitting and chatting it up with guys, who liked to talk about the girls who were there. They were near strangers, so I didn't want to get all huffy and tell them to stop offending me, so I'd usually just try to ignore it.
And yes, I have people who think I'm hot... they're not shy about letting me know it either, and I'm glad of it and flattered by it and all ^_^; And honestly, its rather silly of me to be hurt so easily by being ignored by random strangers, but for some reason I still do it. I blame it on the fact I'm female. We're all weird. XD

I love you. My sweet non-related sister.
I understand how you feel.

Hey, non curvy peoples are just as great as those who are! We can be good looking too, and if anyone says otherwise, i'll stick my boot up their rear end! Be happy for what you look like Shinga, because you get what you get, right? Hey, we may not be bombshells, but at least we dont have all the ugly guys staring us down, right?

You're too hard on yourself. I'd definitely go for you over someone like the other girl in your pic. 'Specially if you have that cool texan accent.

HEY. Bombshells rock.
Honestly - it's difficult to be ridiculously curvy and have world-dominating breasts. So those of us whose lives and all our clothing choices are dictated by their overbearing breasts and hips enjoy being appreciated. A lot of people complain about buxom, childbearing-hips-having women being the ideal of beauty, and it's just... no one gives a whit about those people who -are- that body-type! We can't help it that we're Reubensesque and curvy and busty and look fertile and healthy to the primitive sub-conscious mind! WE JUST WANT TO BE APPRECIATED, DERNIT.
just my little rant. ^.^;
If you really had wings, though, that would rock hard-core. Good drawing skill, as always.

Which is why there's that part of me who DOESN'T want to be that. Because they become objects of beauty and nothing else, which must also suck. They walk down the street, knowing they're being oggled by men who only care about looks. So it'd suck to be that too.
Oh and I have big ol' childbearing hips too. Which sucks, cause I'm SKINNY and they're just OUT THERE while I have this tiny waist(along with ribs and spine showing ;_; icky 
But still. It gets hard for me to hang out with guy friends and be COMPLETELY ignored as soon as some leggy blonde walks in. Then all I hear for an hour is how they'd like to "tap that ass". I'm angry for me, and angry for her. >_>;;

Then perhaps you need a better range of guy friends. The current population would appear to SUCK ASS.

"Tap that ass"? Ew. That's disgusting, when people act like that. Unfortunatly, it's just another indication of how we're all socialized to believe and respond to the ideals of patriarchy -- in which women are objects, meant to look pretty and pop out babies and serve men, and nothing else. It sucks for all of us, the pretty leggy blondes who get treated like their looks are all that are important, the women that don't fit those standards, who are treated as if they have NOTHING important about them at all, and even for the men, who are taught that this is a good and acceptable way to believe and behave.
...Sorry for the rant -- I'm a women's studies major, and right now we're talking about perceptions of women in our culture, and every day I'm noticing more and more how wrong it is.
Anyway, back to the picture. It's gorgeous, and sad at the same time. But don't get down about it -- there are still people in the world who look beyond the stereotypical "ideal woman" model.

You are lovely in your own right... you shouldn't have to change to fit what the world in general perceives as "perfect" or "beautiful". Stay who you are, and know that there are those - and you know whom I speak of
Keep your chin up, me girl. Never forget that YOU do matter, no matter what.
Maintain and Check Six!
Well You look better than the other person AND you dress better. *gives you a comforting hug.*

Wow, this depicts me perfectly as well, and I am also sick of the standard of 'beauty' we're expected to starve ourselves to. Awesome awesome awesome pic.

You know, Those words eccho the underlying nature of all people like a natural meme, shouting in the back of humanities ear.
Feel comfty with yourself.
Youre great. Youre beautiful in ways than most people cant see. But whose who do, they see the majesty of it.
And besides, youre cute. n_n
Weird thing how everyone sees her/himself as weird.
We are all different.
Thats the beauty of it all.
Speaking Back On the Piccage...I started playing with colors and Pshop, and God damn.. I can apreciate a lot more the work of Pshop painters now..
*Barbie voice*: Colors are haaard! nyeh!

If anything, you're cuter than the the "bombshell" as you put it. Something about the actual sincerity of a person on the inside being noticed more than the outside. At least with me.
