Description
Same basic message as the guys one. Where that was, "There is more to life than seventeen year old hairless bishies," this is "There is more to life than seventeen year old hairless supermodels." For instance, there's dryads. ^_^Weight heckling is because if a female character's weight is listed, it's pretty much invariably between 100 and 120 pounds no matter what her build is.
Next: Clothing and how it is not paint.
OV charas because they don't mind hanging out near-naked. Also a dryad I came up with for fun.

OMG thank you. I'll see a 5'5" fictional character, athletic and curvy, and she's 105 pounds? NO. I'm an inch shorter and I have no muscle and almost no body fat, and I weigh more than that. Jeez, people.
Also: Big breasts = probably big elsewhere a well. Small elsewhere = probably small breasts. No busty Popsicle sticks in the real world, kthxbai.

I wasn't hugely thrilled with her torso, myself ( how often do I draw pregnant women?

Better. Not perfect, but she no longer looks like her ribcage is elastic.

while you make a good point at the age of 16-23 hairless super models r All that matters then you grow older and your eyes open and see things like personality intrests etc

So many lovely body types, and here I look a lot like that dryad. (Straight hair, though.)
I am surprised Inferno doesn't weigh ten to twenty pounds more than that, honestly. Also, for extra brain-bending fun, Inferno is the same height as David Hasselhoff.
Tigatron looks so darned pleased with The Demonstration Bump.
Pardon me while I grumble about something that bugs me-- Tarantulas is nowhere near fat. She's not even particularly plump. Stout or broad, maybe, but she only looks stout-or-broad compared to the taller and/or narrower females she can stand next to. Women are supposed to have some body fat so that we can do the kind of thing Tigatron is doing without starving. (Me and the dryad just have a little more than is strictly necessary for ease of breeding.)
I am a little critical of bustlines in regards to breast size plus the support systems shown yielding the above results... but pregnancy affects breast size (they get larger, unless they're already quite large, and they get firmer), Inferno and Tarantulas's respective racks are in the right places for their usual clothes if not for the bikinis, Airazor looks fine, and the dryad totally looks like a set of double or triple D's in a sports bra... and I'm the one who wonders about seams and fabric construction. So it's a qualified bit of criticism. (I do think Inferno's left breast is too close to center in general.)

What, grass skirt and anklet and everything?
Inferno's based on what seems to be about average for wrestlers ( male, though ) her size. I figure they're not lowballing it.
Well, who in the cast would want to have a baby?
Is why it's 'at most, she's a bit plump' instead of 'fat', because she ain't. Not that it stops people from complaining ( no, not you, people going, "Wah, why is she fat?"
Bigger feet on pregnant women, too, from what I've read. Possibly they're magical reinforced bikini tops with straps made of unicorn. I just figured the physics of breasts was too in-depth for a page of general shapes. I can do a page on Boob Physics later, if you feel it important ( heck, I probably should anyway. Breasts: They are not magic anti-gravity spheres. )

Hell, sure, why not? Add some orthopedic sequined flipflops and we're good. Hey, they're comfy AND sparkly.
I don't know much about wrestling, I admit. Inferno's weight doesn't seem low, it's just 250 or 260 wouldn't have surprised me, either-- especially not knowing she's six-foot-four. Just the skeleton of someone that tall is going to be heavy. I've seen folk in RP's assume a six-four guy is going to weigh less than Waspinator and be a) healthy and b) able to kick butt.
The one in the same-sex relationship, of course! It's just normally in these things, they end up indignant or cracking jokes, not getting to do something that makes them happy (unless it's at someone else's expense, usually Silverbolt). She looks all serene and not ready to deck Tarantulas at all. I'm almost sad she's unlikely to get the chance to go for it for real.
Part of it may be the action-cartoony-art thing. We're used to seeing a couple different shapes on men (usually... I'm gonna say four; Standard, which is broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip and works equally well for Our Hero and the one-shot joke life insurance guy, Slight, appropriate for younger men, scholars, and Our Hero's Sidekick, Dumpy, because there's always that one potato-shaped cop or reporter or private detective or manager, and Huge, because every so often you need to pit the hero against a guy twice his size), but only one default size for women, which is usually Shapely. Sometimes you get Amazonian, but even Wonder Woman (who actually IS an Amazon) just ends up as Shapely in the cartoons.
Pregnancy does all KINDS of fun things to the body, including pull the spine out of alignment and stop you from shedding hair. (Gaining significant amounts of weight will also give you bigger feet, but that's due to bones spreading more than swelling.) I admit I wondered if they were metal bikini tops, or some kind of 'Sentinel knows how much support you need' shaped soft plastic... thing... Right, yes, Hello, my name is Hat, and I think entirely too much about how things are made.
Although if you WANT to do one of these about breasts, I sure wouldn't stop you. (Mostly because I do like these thingies. They're neat.) I recently heard someone bring up what they called The Sexy Fruit Rule-- no part of a woman's body should resemble a piece of fruit.

I'm cheering for you now. "Women can weigh more than 120 pounds! Huzzah, somebody knows this!" (I'm 5'3" and 136, and everyone calls me skinny. O_O) "Women have body hair? Oh, yesss." (I'm one-quarter Scandinavian and my legs look a lot worse than Tigatron's there.) "Small breasts are totally ok!" (Thank you, thank you, thank you.) "Not being able to see her ribs does not qualify as 'fat'." (Normal builds in RL don't look like normal builds in magazines, do they?) And of course, "Pregnancy belly cannot under any circumstances, except by an idiot, be mistaken as being 'just fat'." (The shape is so different, I want to smack every man or woman I've ever heard make that mistake.)
I want this included in every comic-book artist's manual from now on. I have one now for drawing superhero women. It's hilariously sexist and cheesy. I guess there are reasons for following popular conventions of body types SOMEtimes, but really, breaking the mold is never a bad thing.

A tree, I guess. I dunno how dryads do it.
Right, right, Tigatron. Given that she lives in a sci-fi story with bonus Vok, could be anybody. Or nobody. Or it's just a demo of pregnancy weight.

What? No Blackarachnia, but Quickstrike? You suck! But it's still cool, though.

Hmm, I've known women in the "toned but not muscular" body range (high school basketball players) who were 140 and 5'9", so Waspy might be closer to 130 unless she's only "not muscular" compared to someone like Inferno.

Waspy's about my size, with less waist but more muscle. Number stands.

Tarantulas cares not for your Earthling standards of beauty! ( If being more streamlined worried her, she could stop eating people's heads.

As she said: "Piece by treacherous piece."

Waspinator looks great, but you're doing some weird knees these days. Everyone looks like they're wearing kneepads. The dryad's cool too.

Well, Heck, INferno isn't so unrealistic. Tanya, my ex, was 6' 3" and 200 pounds (sometimes up to 208) and a boxer. She had a similar build, too. I wish I had some full photos...
Hmmmm. I select e as the answer. Which is how I like it.
These sorts of things you're doing here are awesome. Makes me wish my hands worked cuz I'd totally be trying to draw.

Excellent. And many thanks for breaking the "every woman is 120 pounds and under" bullshit myth.
And that guy, whoever he is, has damn good taste. (Well... maybe not with the dryad.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The guy is Quickstrike, and in his defense the dryad is probably much more receptive to his advances than the rest of the ladies, what with being a nymph rather than an ex-robot or an ex-robot who thinks like an ant.

Woot! Random Dryad!
Love how everyone turned out...Inferno is truly magnificent
