Curves : Stephanie vs Lexi
🕑 Added 2023-03-10 15:12:58 +0000 UTCWhen designing Stephanie, or even Gwen, I do give myself some guidelines. One of them is that Steph should have wider hips than most anyone else on-screen. That gets a bit more complicated when I introduce the new femme Xavier/Lexi and also what to make sure she has notable curves as well. Nothing that makes her extraordinary, but at least at some degree that help reinforce her new status as a woman.
Part of how I go about this process is keeping track of their proportions. I can’t really measure Steph by inches or centimeters. She does change size based on how large a panel is and where the camera is located. So I have to go off of proportions.
When we do heights, the common unit of measurement is a head. I tend to try to make them relative to each other in that regard. For hips my basis is our characters shoulders. Lexi has enough curves to give her some love, but they are not as wide as her shoulders are. But Stephanie’s easily pass beyond those borders. The same goes for chest sizes. Stephanie’s chest from the front easily expand past her shoulders. Lexi again, her sholders really set the guidelines for her build.
When I was working on the pages, I was noticing that it was a bit more visual of something to talk about, so I wanted to share this with you.
Are there any aspects of the comics that you are curious about? Talk to me in the comments and it could be a future blog entry.
