Description
30-day OC ChallengeDay 19: Sad
Why is she sad? Maybe she's thinking of her parents; they've been dead for five years, yet she still thinks about them, and still tears up sometimes when she does.
Maybe she's afraid she won't find a man who'll look past her muscles to love her for who she is; she's getting more grief than she ever expected from almost every man she's encountered, even those she's known for some time, over her physique.
Maybe⦠it's something else entirely.

You've probably noticed this is a little late ("a little??") getting posted; I wound up having to work later than I expected last night, didn't get home until 10:45 PM when I expected to be home by 9:00 PM, so I didn't have the time I thought I'd have to draw this last night. (I also didn't have the energy to do it, either.) I kinda wish that Saturday's theme ("Happy") and this one had been reversed; "Happy" was easier to draw, and I might have been able to muster the will to do it last night, whereas this at first seemed like a more daunting task.Β
i have the rest of today off today, though, so I should be caught up with the Challenge tonight when I post Day 20 ("surprised/scared").

Tetsuko is like all muscle girls. Hard as a rock on the outside, soft as a marshmallow on the inside.

I would love a caring woman like her, a buff woman with a gentle heart...I would do my damnedest to make sure she'd never cry again.

ParaphrasingΒ a line from the movie "Some Kind of Wonderful" - "You break her heart, I'll break your head."

At first glance, I wanted to put a comforting hand on her shoulder, and possibly give her a cup of jasmine tea.
At second, after I read those "she looks beheaded" critiques, I almost said, "well, would you be happy if you'd been decapitated at the neck?
At third glance, the placement of her head DID look a bit... off (no pun intended).
At fourth glance, I simply chalked it up to the bunching up of her shoulder muscles (a little something I've noticed on pics of aggressively hulked-out figures).
And at fifth... Β I just want to say, "it's all right, Tet-chan. Β It will pass, whatever it is."

omfg. I was going to write a fun comment saying "Huh! maybe she's disappointed that a T-shirt of her favourite band isn't available in her size!"...
but some of the comments on this pissed me off badly. I know DCM doesn't need me ranting in this comment section, but I work with 3D (stern anatomy) and I've been educated extensively in cartooning both professionally and self-taught - and aforementioned users are a red button of mine. If you don't understand cartoons, shut up or grow up. That's all there is to it. If something needs to be 100% anatomically correct for you to understand it I suggest you go back to school - because if ruining creativity is your crack, that'll be your crack den just before you salute in fear.

I appreciate your coming to my defense; you might be being a little hard on these commenters, though.
I do welcome constructive criticism of my work, it helps me improve. And I honestly believe that that's the purpose of their comments.
(And feel free to "rant" here anytime!)

She looks kinda...decapitated...
Either that or she is one of those japanese monsters with the really long necks or something, because at this angle it looks like her neck is placed at the back of her head and not the bottom.

Her head looks off, too low, it gives the impression that she has been beheaded.

She'd appreciate that!

I'm glad that I could help comfort her.

Being through as much as Tet-chan has, it's kinda easy for those kind of emotions to take a person over. Yet, after a torrential rainstorm, comes a rainbow. Superb range of emotions, Mr. M.
And many hugs to you, my Asian muscle girl.
