And I’m back! (I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself)

A redraw of this picture. I have never read these comics so I might have failed on their looks, but I’m more here to make a point (and to fix their anatomy/give them organs/etc lol.)

I’m really, really tired of seeing the same body types on female characters. It’s like saying; if you don’t have this figure, you’re not sexy, therefor you can’t be a superhero. Therefor you aren’t important. So to make a point that this is bullshit, I gave them different body types to show that all body types are damn beautiful. You don’t have to have the perfect hourglass to be beautiful (note that I’m not saying hourglass are ugly either, I just wish they could accept other kinds of body types as well) 

For the white haired girl (dunno their names, sorry!)  You know, I barely changed anything about her. Really. I just fixed her waist and made the breasts look less like balloons, and fixed her leg a bit. That’s about it. See, your waist doesn’t have to be super tiny (that barely holds up your breasts) to look good and strong.

For the girl next to her, I thought she looked a bit more thin, so I shrunk her breasts, and bam, she turned out a bit pear shaped. But even thin people doesn’t have painfully thin waist like that.

And the sitting girl, well, I mainly fixed her anatomy (or tried). Poor girl probably broke some bones in the original.

Also, when will they stop drawing girls with uniforms doesn’t squeeze their crotches? They should try it out themselves. I have tried. Uncomfortable as hell.

Anyway. I hope you like it, and that I didn’t do anything too wrong!

Actually, without knowing the characters, I think you did a really good job giving them bodies that fit how they should look.  I also agree with you about having different body types, I mean even in terms of fit, thin women, there are all sorts of proportions and differences.  Too often, artists in video games, comics, etc seem to have just slight variations on the same body type, where you might get a thicker, taller woman, but the breast proportions are still the same, or a thin slender woman, but still, the same breasts, etc… I’m a girl with a body much like the way you drew Rainmaker (the girl with long black hair) and it is really nice to see a body type like mine in your re-draw (and I am already quite privileged to have a build much like what society desires, but in terms of video games, comics, etc, everybody with my build tends to have really large breasts too).  And again, like you said, this doesn’t mean there’s anything WRONG with the body type artists keep drawing, or that thin, athletic women can’t have big breasts, but it’s about diversity. :)
