Tonight's warmup drawing was a couple of characters from two of my favorite webcomics, Girls With Slingshots and Hark! A Vagrant.
(click for big)
I didn't get Jamie's boobs big enough, but I think I did an okay job capturing the surliness and ennui of the Mystery Solving Teens.
EDIT: Look what Kate drew in return! IS HANNERS OMG

I have to say that Jamie from Girls with Slingshots doesn't just have oversized boobs in the style of most over-endowed women in the wide world of comics (and especially in the wide world of intertubes). She is a big girl altogether. Big arms, big tits, big hips, big thighs. She's not fat, really. Just drawn as an overweight, but gorgeous, curvy girl.
Making her "reasonably-sized" makes me a wee bit sad. Especially as an curvy girl of similar proportions to Jamie.
I agree. That is one of my favorite things about Jamie! She is curvy all over and proud to be so!
It might partly be Jeph's erring-on-the-side-of-subtlety thing? It was a ways into QC's run before Faye took on her current shape, so... *shrug* I kind of doubt he intentionally set out to downsize her, at least.
I can see a definite difference between larger body frames (which I tend to associate with the polynesian phenotype) and over-weight.
And to be fair, while I do have a fairly large body frame myself, I am severely overweight, and that part of my size, I think is not a good thing. | |
