      “Artist is guy who has unrealistic expectations of women’s bodies” Nope, this time, the artist is a bombshell who used her own body as a reference for drawing

          Enjoy! Don’t stare directly into the Sun, it may seem bearable but you are heavily damaging your cells. It sill applies during an eclypse btw, but they are not very common and I’m sure you got a lot more interesting things to feast your eyes on before that.

      I mean, no. But she’s saying she’s her own “reference”. She doesn’t walk around dressed like that on a regular basis (unless she does), artists create reference material for themselves all the time.

      In this case, Faves likely put on similar clothes to Makima and pulled them into the positions she wanted to draw them in, just for this one reference photo. This gave her a reference on what the wrinkles, lines, and shading would look like, allowing her to reference those real-world details when creating the art piece.

      Nah, huge boobs limit cosplay options far more than small ones - there are tricks to increase visual size, but decreasing is a lot more difficult and can cause discomfort or injury if done wrong.

        If you had big boobs at a very young age, you might have had to learned to hide them for some reason, and it’s not as discomforting or hurtful as you might paint it.

        And you can cosplay whatever you want still.

        Not to mention, too small breasts will never have a deep cleavage etc.

        I’d imagine binders are an option, right? They seem to be pretty good at hiding those bits but maybe that falls under discomfort or injury if done wrong?

    Some caution to you, especially if you made the meme:

    Overreporting controversies around stuff like this can lead to uneven backlash. Some of the backlash from previous cases convinced people to vote for people, who want to make it illegal to draw things like that, because they “trigger the libs”.
