Guessed I made em a bit too muscular, huh?
I wanted her to be muscular, though.
Soft sleek legs are for the tender.

The outfits fine but I agree that if you're going to give her muscles they need to be more subtle.

Yeah, but her legs look like they have veins popping out.

Ahhh... much better!

Yeah, I go to school and ask a few of the senior AP art students for criticism. They come up with like... 90% of the crits I get.

Her legs look much less manly. I think she now passes for just a really buff chick.

The background is pretty cool, too!

Hippy (hippie?) Girl

Great pose! She's very alive looking.

I love her face and hair. Her eyes would be prettier if they had a pupil, though. Her hands seem too detailed, and look out of place. Also, her left elbow looks like it's bent in an impossible way. She looks a little off balance, too. Maybe it's the shoes?

Bear Girl
She has really masculine legs, and her stomach and neck look too muscled as well. Women's muscles are softer looking.

I really like the details in this one, especially the buttons on her clothes and the stitches on her gloves. The bear looks happy. xD Sweet background. I like how you left the base color white. It makes it stand out.

Thanks for posting these!

Well good, they're suppose to be muscular. Soft is not an issue. A man's muscles can be soft. But then its just fat.
Maybe a slenderer frame, but not soft, that varies from person to person (how much you work out, what you eat... etc.)

The last thing I wanna do right now is draw another impractical bikini girl. You know those.

On the hippie girl, is she unbalanced because she is moving, or is she unbalanced because of the way she moves? shes not exactly standing.
ie. if you fall down, you are unbalanced because of the way you move. If you are running, you are unbalanced because you are moving.

What can I do to tone down the detail of the hands? I kept it as simple as I can while defining the fingers and the two basic folds.
and the elbow.

I have a question for all of you, actually. Why is being buff bad?

Because we women hide our muscles better. While men have ripped chests and stuff, we don't. We just look fit, if we're buffed usually.

...ripped muscles for me usually means steroids, and steroids are bad.

This is better but the stomach muscles need some work.

Okay, how do I go about fixing it?

pointing out something isnt gonna help.

I love the second and third! Amazing, Sponson!

Kitty--no, the stomach muscles are fine.

Snoinky--if you think women can't be ripped without Steroids, you should check out the ladies' track and field throwing team.

Looks great, Sponson. Really amazing, my friend.

I have to point out that she's holding the staff slightly imbalanced, but hey, who cares.

I have no problem understanding why she would be more masculine looking--she's a freekin' WILD PERSON. Not civilized. Living in the WOODS. She wouldn't look like Angelina Jolie at the Oscars.

I dig it dude.

Thats exactly what I think! Shes a feral person, why wouldnt she have muscles?

Its like saying wild lamb should taste like veal.
