So. I know a fair number of us draw, and I know for a fact that most of us write or at least like good writing.

I have a challenge.

While looking through the DeviantArt gallery of one of my favorite artists that I hadn't looked at in a while, I noticed that she had stopped drawing the usual, stick-skinny, "Pretty" in the conventional sense girls that used to dominate her gallery, and, among other things, was posting drawings of her own outfits, which, given that she's on the large side, were all large, and drawn to actually look how they look on her. For instance:



This got me thinking. Why don't more writers/artists represent those of us who are not, in fact, a size two? I find myself guilty of this, as well.

So here's my challenge:

Find a character who is (actually) average to overweight. Draw them how they normally/actually look. Don't make them look disgusting just because they're fat.

Said character can be your own, or someone else's. They can be for published or unpublished work. Just go forth and find a character who isn't tiny.

Draw them how they normally look. Normal clothes, normal hair, normal facial expression and stance. Or draw them looking fancy, doing something special. You pick.

Finally: Post a link here.

So. Who will take up my challenge? *scuttles away*
