Real quick skeletal study for Buttercup (Patreon)

This is just something I threw together to make notes of some things for myself and for you.  People have mentioned her proportions are off and it's true. Lets just forego the fact that she's a cartoon and take a look at her bone structure. She's a bit over 7 heads tall which is close to normal human adult height. Here legs are long for her overall height which I like. Her pelvis is small and tilted forward, tailbone back. Her spine isn't overly contorted. It is bent intentionally in a pose, much like a fitness model which fits her character and look, but it's not like she couldn't bend that much.

-Her thighs could be longer to fit closer with human proportions but I like the look of longer lower legs.

-Her back is arched but I like the look it lends her waist and the way her butt juts out. She's putting herself on display.

-Her pelvis is small which lends it self to looking younger and more athletic. Look at any female athlete and notice you don't see wide hips. 

So I guess what I'm trying to get at is I'm well aware of what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. Things may change and get refined because I know I'm far from perfect. Maybe this helps alleviate some of the concern about her look. Honestly, I expected this kind of response. I pushed her towards the edge in terms of shape and the reaction I got was mixed. Buttercup is at once the most favorite and least favorite for a few people. I like that. I'm going to keep refining their looks. That's what happens when you draw something repeatedly over time.

I hope you found this somewhat educational or informative. Now back to work with me!
