next thing you know you will tell me anime characters are giving unrealistic standards to people because of their huge eyes

It's like art is subjective and don't have to be realistic, or something.

Started a new gouache tonight.

@Arkhan Black oh no, say it ain’t so! 🤣

hahaha

@Shamrock I'm afraid that this is the consensus that people have and that we live in the darkest timeline.

doc fingers loli

I have made some additional shading and detailing on my demon made out of ribs. I'm not sure how noticeable it is.

Ribs? look more like nail clippings, which would be much more terrifying

At least male heros usually have torsos man Why no thicc heroines

male hero's bodies expand to be heroic. Women's contract

It's for easy identification

you can have an hourglass shape on a woman that isn't 8 cm in diameter

that's lazy talk

and that's coming from a woman that's drawn her fair share of exagerrated men

what if I like my man meat with a thicc waifu

give many children

Hey, differant artists draw shit differantly. style exists for a reason

some do draw thicc

but most time I see casuals arguing they think the only real artist is Jim Lee and any variation on a female character are too fat

Style doesn't mean you forget that there's more than one shape of person, male or female

it's like the lazy fucks that forget wolverine is a manlet

Part 2.

this unnerves me in ways

You can't force an artist (or people in general for that matter) to find certain beauty standards to be what they prefer. They just do.

You kinda can, actually ... some beauty stuff is socialized ... that's not comparable to changing one's mind overnight, but it is true that beauty standards don't come purely from within. If culture had no impact, SJW wouldn't be trying to wrongthink-accuse you of transphobia for not finding gender-confused people attractive. They do it because it works (at least on mentally weak people ... that's why extra chromo trannies are also a thing).

Assuming this is still about comics, consider the following:

Comics are about storytelling. Not putting you dick in everything

Can there be hot women? Yes absolutely

Should they all be? No

Same for men

But at least in theory male characters have more variation even if some artists don’t bother

Maybe I've been in far more arguments with people on 'the right' over comic aesthtics, so I've seen people argue that a female character who is called fat, cow and a firetruck by people in her own comic, should be thin because all art should be appealing which makes as little sense as SJWs throwing up their hands about some tiddy.

So close to being done. I think it's less than an hour's work. Then I'm going to start my entry for this local contest. You can only use black white and green. I've got a couple ideas and would love to hear yours.
