My entry for this contest:
Contest - A Fat Female SuperheroI'm a regular reader of Escher Girls, so when I read the latest post this morning, I was deeply concerned. The following post was submitted to Eschergirls and was not made by me. The artist is Selkiesiun

I DID NOT DRAW THIS PICTURE. :iconselkiesiun: DID. THIS IS A QUOTE OF HER EXPERIENCES.
I AM ONLY RELAYING THE INFORMATION.

Selkiesiun submitted to Eschergirls:

   "This is not so much a critique post as it is a conformation of how absurd the standards of art in the comic book industry have become.

   I traveled to San Diego Comic Con this year and participated in the portfolio reviews they where holding from Thursday to Sunday. Althoug


Meet Echo, your usual superhero who has more curves than the usual females of her cast. :XD:
Her power is sound manipulation, which includes different things such as omnitone, silence manipulation, vertigo inducement, fly riding soundwaves, echolocation, sonic screams, and so on.

And a lot of other things I looked for to give her more depth. But her real indentity and story will be kept hidden. You can see sketches of her here though: [link]

I think I'm apart of this competition for the prizes, I'm not sure!

Anyhu, on to the critique.

I really really really really like the colouring, everything with the colours are perfect! Beautiful, stylish, the colours work and it compliments well.

My issue is the anatomy, or actually the face, arms and hands.

The face looks a bit, off, I'm not sure why, I may have to put it in photoshop and study it, but it just feels like the shape is wrong.

The hands I'm sure you realise is bad. Go take some photos of yourself. The one on the left looks like a strange dog paw and the one on the right looks squished.

The arms need some definition too, shes a super hero, give her some form. Her arms are, weirdly angular, especially around the forearm area, I know when I was doing martial arts I had some muscle, it wasn't body builder, but there was a definite shape.

I really like the background, the colours, the shapes, the implementation of art nouveau and overall image. Just a few flaws anatomically.
What do you think?

Good work.
The lines, coloring, and shading are well executed.
I love the concept. Having sonic powers come from her hands is something I haven't seen before; the typical source is the throat, and I like that you didn't go with the typical thing.
I like that she is cheerful and confident (the S-curve highlights her belly, so she must be very comfortable with herself).
The orange flourish in the background could be improved with a highlight, like maybe a silver-age shine gradient, so it looks like a silk or gross-grain ribbon?
She does a good job of showing that you don't have to be skinny to be sexy.
What do you think?

She could be a mascot for a internet company, hahah...

I like what you did with the graphics there. Also the blue and orange colour scheme and the costume are really lovely.
Well done.

A mascot for an interenet company? That's the first time someone tells me this ha ha :XD:

Sorry for the late answer, and thank you for your comment, it's really appreciated :)

Cause she have very clear colour scheme, blue and orange. Her sleek design also have a very contemporary feel.
And the sound wave signals looks like the wireless signals on cellphone plans and internet provider's ads.
So she would totally make a kickass mascot. Superhero is unpaid volunteer work, right? So she could do some advertisement for money. (Unless she doesn't like promoting big corporations... cough...)
Anyway, sorry for the comparison. I just thought it's kinda fun. She's cute.

I'd say she's not so much as a fat person and more of a correctly proportions thin person. Even so, she is very pretty and I love the coloring and the hair. =)

Actually I had difficulties to find the right definition of a fat person. Well from the comics point of view she is fat, while in a normal point of view she is as you say. :) I wanted to blur the lines since they are way too often blurred in the medias and the society.

SOrry for the late answer and thank you for your comment, I'm glad you like it :D

It was also pointed out to me that the contest was not necessarily for an obese person, but rather for a female super hero just like yours. Good job on all aspects! ^^

Contest is not about drawing fat superheroine but to draw a superheroine with 'real' proportions as opposed what we see usual characters in mainstream comics to be, with unreal proportions, hence the word 'fat'.

Well maybe because her curves are harmonious? I tried to give that feeling :) Chubby but sexy, without having to show her skin
