I've got the 'sturdy peasant' build from the waist down and nothin' at all up top. When I saw someone complaining about femShep having beefy thighs I was all o_O "But she's basically me with more boobs." She needs that leg muscle to pound around in full armor with an arsenal on her back.
Huh. Now I want to draw a slightly more scandalous scene just so I have an excuse to draw leg muscle. :P
I see what you mean about the head/neck/body. I think the outline is correct and shading will 'push' her body back, but I'll play with moving it. And possibly posing my boyfriend. That's always a riot.
I want to de-beef Joker's arm (the one he's not leaning on), and in the sketch it was clear he had a tiny bit of a belly, so I want to make sure I capture that. Anyone who's spent a lot of time on crutches should have some arm definition (and you can work with weights around limits), but I figure there aren't really any good ways for him to work on aerobic fitness while deployed -- swimming pools and elliptical trainers aren't exactly standard on a frigate.
westrider was at my place this weekend and got quite a chuckle out of listening to my plans to debeefcake Joker in his not-quite-cheesecake scene. I started with harsher lines, so pecs'n'all looked much more defined!
EDIT: I totally agree re: Shepard models, but if I rant there I'll be repeating myself, I think. Looking forward to reading it if you make a point-by-point comparison!
