yeah...so I know a lot of people like the long/lean none-too-masculine Bishi look, but seriously some of the illustrations I've seen of them (I can't name any specific series, I honestly don't know, just see them around sometimes), mainly the Shoujo Manga type stuff, makes them look downright unhealthy. o_O

like something about the skinny build, and sometimes the way it's shaded and how the eyes look, etc. they just look sickly or like they've been starved for a while, I'd be more compelled to give them a freakin' sandwich than fawn over them lol.
I just can't wrap my head around why that's supposed to be attractive :/ kind of creeps me out, sort of in the same vein as why I don't like uber-skinny, unhealthy looking female models.

mind you this is just my opinion of course, but I definitely prefer guys (and my fellow ladies for that matter) to have at least a little meat on their bones, just so they at least look healthy, ya know? (unless some hardship requires them to look otherwise) not that every character should be medium build etc, but there's a difference between a slender/small boned build (I like to call guys that are slim but still attractive "Thoroughbreds" XD) and unhealthy skinny. :I

...makes me glad again that I decided to go with the inconsistency error I made on a picture of Mikhail a long time ago and make him a bit thicker built.

anyways yeah, minor rant/observation over lol
