Lol, well, let me be more precise, then.


 
I am a bit annoyed at how unpopular it is to draw humans in actual, realistic, typical, non-overtly sexualized human proportions. (I can forgive a big head - for the media of a more cartoon style it looks fine)


 
But at the same time I can't be, and really am not mad at any particular artist since they can draw whatever they like. Pia-sama can draw whatever they like. Maybe they've done it so much they don't realize they're doing it at this point (making hips more than twice as wide as stomach) and they need a comment to tell them to check their proportions.


 
Or maybe it's intentional. They're so good at everything else I'd just assumed they'd actively chosen those proportions than did them on accident, but I could be mistaken.


 
At any rate, maybe it'll help them, maybe they meant it that way, either way I'm not mad at them for drawing whatever they like.


 
I'm just kind of annoyed at the trend and this brings it up because it's extremely well done in every way except that.


 
So, no I'll feelings to any artist in particular. It's just the point of comments to make known to artists comments like this one.




 

 
So, that's what I mean by "I don't mean to sound angry". If you've ever used the "not to x, but..." expression before you've probably had this vague feeling, but there it is concretely laid out.
 

 
Addendum; I mean really it's the same as complaining about massively long legs and tiny bodies on the EQG models, but that's been standardized by EQG, so there's really no point in complaining about that.
 
I did try vectoring a realistic proportioned and colored EQG Twi, though. That was a fun experiment in realistic proportions.
