She sure "stands out" (pun intended).

I like the design differences between she and Roah, particularly in the wardrobe department. All of Roah's stuff tends to be much more practical and less fashion oriented, but Madrian's obviously got a very large amount of...flair.

If I really simplified the templates that Roah and Mad have throughout all realities; Roahs are scrappy heroes, while Madrians are dirty cops.

So Madrian gets external authority for her smackdowns by various means, whereas Roah brings the smackdown from an internal authority. Is this a commentary on police brutality?

Actually, Roah represents my personal view of law enforcement.
I don't blame the police for bad politics. That's retarded.

She's already pretty stacked. If you make them any bigger, you might have to tone down the muscle tone to keep it believable.

Rather than believability (which has no place in character design when compared to function anyways) I just feel she A) wouldn't be as attractive, and B) would be difficult to take seriously as a character.

And here I avoided the world "realistic" in favour of "believable"

Unfortunately the two get superimposed too often. Deviating too far from what is realistic can ruin suspension of belief if you do it out of context, and style can play a huge factor in that. Outrageous boobage just doesn't work in my style, largely because of the artist drawing it: hips and necklines are more fun for me to draw than giant busts.

It really shows that you enjoy drawing hips more, because daaaayumn them's birthin' hips

Maybe another contrast between them is that Roah's more of a biker-type dresser and Mad's more into gothic dark queen style.

Not at all. Roah likes the way she looks.

By the way Mad looks she reminds me of a cat a friend of mine had XD
From what I guessing by the pic the personality would probably match as well

very not so: Madrian is disciplined, loyal, and intelligent. So...very not like a cat.

Hey Icym don't you have a crapload of...
Ok, I'm not gonna do it, other guy beat me to it ¬¬
Anyway, nice character! I was missing your stuff already...
Oh, also: Check this out ([link] ) and tell me if you had it in mind when you designed her...
One last question: Is "mad" a reference to something? or is she called that just because it sounds cool? (Something like Mutually Assured Destruction or stuff like that)

Actually, exactly: and Roah does tend to fall into the category "cute bruiser".

Not really, there is a limit to how large I will go on a physically active character before it just seems absurd to me. Drawing them larger for other people is one thing, but for my own concepts it's hard to make it work.

Matsu-sensei In reply to Icymasamune [2010-07-30 20:19:59 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, just saying. Like, I imagined them a cup size bigger or so.

Icymasamune In reply to Matsu-sensei [2010-07-31 00:41:00 +0000 UTC]
Possibly. The problem is that I want her to be relatively sexy, and if I make her much bigger than she is the character will not be attractive anymore, just a gag.

Matsu-sensei In reply to Icymasamune [2010-07-31 01:20:28 +0000 UTC]
True. I guess the trick is making them noticeably big without going into exaggerated levels.

I think it all boils down to what your personal view of "too big to be serious" is.

In this case its really more about "design intent" than anything boob focused.
