Thick Ladies

Alright, next finished picture is 75% done.  It's a trap!  Although, with forewarning, it's not a very good trap, is it?  (Still has a nice bum, though, so there's that).  For now, though, let's delve into a much bigger issue: stacked ladies.

There's a certain shape and aesthetic that we've been trying to perfect when it comes to ladies of the hourglass persuasion.  With something drawn, particularly in a semi-cartoonish style like ours, you can get away with a very bee-like shape (that is, a tiny waist and flared out hips, preferably with big melons of either the canteloupe or watermelon varieties, depending on your preference).  In practice, we've yet to really nail that vibe, although Little Miss Indignant  up there is a decent approximation, including that unbelievable arrogance that women born with a full house tend to have (just kidding; not sure why she's such a snooty fox!  Maybe she's proudly showing them off?)  One of the more amusing character tropes to associate with this body type is extreme shyness or naivety about sex.  After all, most people don't choose to have that kind of shape; it just sort of happens naturally, although plenty of women work for it (whether its really attainable or not).

We're much more successful with the pear-shaped girls.  Here's one with cum stopped in her butt.  Also an opportunity to show off  feet for a certain crowd (antique clock enthusiasts, I would guess).  So this one's a definite possibility.  We have a few nearly-finished pear shape girls, but one thing that ends up happening is that unnatural look, which can be appealing, but it can be nice to have a more natural, small-breast accentuated-hips/butt look as well, so we're striving for both ends of that spectrum, including the aforementioned wasp-like shape that can show up on hourglass figures as well.  On the psychological side, there's the endearing sensitivity (moe?) or embarrassment about being small in the chest, and either re-appropriated pride or additional shame at having a big butt (either weight-issues or how rears are considered more sexualized or carnal than tig bitties in pop culture).  As Queen said: fat-bottomed girls make the rockin' world go round.

The final shape for the curvy lady, "round" or apple shaped, also proves elusive.  Again, there are two aesthetics here, though they're not really competing for us.  There's the "cute girl, except cuter and more to love," which is a girl with notable chub without anything that really stands out as particularly "fat."  This is a challenge in our pseudo-animu style (or any animu style, really), as it can be hard to show off any features at all in that streamlined paradigm without making them seem exaggerated.  The other thing that an apple-girl might or might not have is a belly; not necessarily the kind of bump that makes strangers congratulate her, but just a round, soft belly area that enthusiasts for plus-sized ladies tend to enjoy.  A deeper belly button, if you will.  This one has a tendency to edge into "pregnant" territory, and the best way to show it's not pregnancy - that is, showing it 'crease' a bit, starts to run headlong into "fat" territory as well, so there's a morton's fork (for cake! Haha, fat jokes!) there.  This girl has a round, cute face, thick thighs, and an ample bosom, but she's actually approaching hourglass-plus in terms of shape.  C'est la vie.  - Majalis
