usernamenumberSo at comic con someone submitted the following drawing for critiquing by industry types:
Ok, it's not the best drawing ever, but that's not really even relevant to the feedback she got.
Apparently this character is so fat no one would want to see her as a superhero.
No, really, that's what they said.
Industry people, Gertie would like to have a word with you:

*sniff* <3 you, Gertie.
Anyway. Someone else is now holding a contest on deviantart for character concepts for "fat" super heroines (non-satirical ones, which I hopefully didn't need to point out, but there it is). As the person from whom I got this on FB put it, "artistic friends, consider the gauntlet thrown".
And for any artists out there looking for inspiration, I think you could do worse than to start here:
Finally, the first person who tries to tell me "but they have the same kind of standards for guys, too!", will be visited by Juggernaut and Rhino for a short tutorial on derailing.
