FAQ/COMMISSIONS

I got a critique on my Stella image about the shape of her torso and I know that it's an innocent critique but I can't help but get irked about it.

Anyway, they said that her waist appears to be above the bottom of her rib cage. And, yes, it does look that way but I don't see anything anatomically wrong with it. I explained that some girls that are more of a pear shape have what appears to be a higher torso. Because they store fat in their hip area. I also explained that it's somewhat a stylized thing on my part as well.

But anyway, here's why those kind of comments upset me. Humans, especially women, are not some perfect little being. We all aren't made out of cookie cutters, you know? Some girls have huge asses! Some girls have broader shoulders! Some girls weigh more than 100 lbs!(that's 45.4 kilograms for my metric friends.) I just really really really hate it when someone tells me (and yes, I have received these comments before!) "She looks too chunky" or "Her legs aren't long enough", you know what? I have really short legs, (I have to buy all of my pants in a short) my sister has a really long torso (She has to buy all of her shirts really long or they stop st her belly button), I know a girl who has bigger arms (the sleeves end up contricting her blood flow!) and I know lots of girls whos asses are large enough that they have a hard time getting into any jean! And believe it or not, not everyone is symetrical! Some people have one leg that is slightly longer than the other, and almost all girls have one breast larger than the other! (Not refering to your critique ! It's just a little fact tidbit, I'd like to bring up to the men out there that don't know this fact)

So, whats so wrong with me embracing these flaws and putting them in my art when I feel like it!? If it's not horribly out of proportion (Like her torso is 10 miles longer than the rest of her body) then please just leave me alone about it! In fact, lets all embrace this ideal and instead of drawing all of our girls as perfect 32-24-32 figures, lets draw them however the hell we feel like!

Okay? If you agree with me then please pass the word around and post this in your journal too!

I hate that~ Though I hate it when you make an innocent remark and the artist gets all offended at you.

"You fogot the red earring on the second pose"
"Are you trying to spite me??"

I love you.
Seriously.
I don't think anyone could have said it better. And plus, it's your art. It *is* their opinion, but it's *YOUR* art. You know?

I agree totally.
And the boob fact still makes me giggle occasionally. X3 I knew it a while back, and when I told my boyfriend he was like, "... o _o; WTF RLY" XDD

Not almost all girls have one breast larger than the other, but all girls (at least a bit, sometimes you can't even recognize it, but it is a fact).

And I do see what they mean with Stella, but I wouldn't even recognize it, because the image looks great!

I agree with ya wholeheartedly. I know about the boobs, I just wasn't sure if it was intentional or not :P

I love your work, keep it coming :)
wooo i def agree with you on this!!!! i tend to draw my girls w/ really big hips. because i have wide hips as well and i think curves are a beautiful thing. and i agree with the short legs.. me too im 5'1 and gotta get em all short ( best place for that is american eagle)
valid point, but don't get too upset...we still love you!
Some people just pick out little things. Its really no big deal. Everyone said a drawing I did of someones character I have said the head was too big. Its not really noticable, but still, its something that bothers people.

High is the way
But our eyes are upon the ground.
You were the light and the way
They'll only read about.
I only pray heaven knows
When to lift you out.

10000 days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home.

Well, I'm okay with critiques like that b/c they are valid, but the ones I mentiones arent at all.
