I like that at the end they are basically just jojo posing

See the thing is they aren’t all “strong” in the same way. The ballerina would not be able to haul a war hammer like the power lifter could, and the power lifter would not be able to flip around like the muscular gymnast, and the gymnast wouldn’t be able to run 26 miles like the long distance runner. All their bodies reflect their skills- this is what I wish movies and video games would portray

Meanwhile in One Piece:

As an artist, this photo has been proven to be extremely useful. Like it was stated, realism isn't the end-all-be-all, but it's an excellent tool to create more diverse characters, in terms of body type.

Dragon's Dogma comes to mind when seeing the different body types and how they effect your stats. The smaller you are the faster you are with smaller weapons.the bigger you are the more powerful the heavy attacks becomes.

One time a classmate of mine (we are animation students) said he struggles designing female characters because apparently he only knew one kind of bodytype for women and that was “sexy tiddy babe.” I suggested him looking up olympic athletes whenever he wanted to draw a superhero or a character with a physically demanding work, and showed him this very image. He was very surprised that there were so many women with extremely different bodytypes.
Imagine how little variations we must be getting in media so a literal character design student didn’t even know that women had this much range. Even the teachers brush off most of these bodytypes as “too manly.” It deeply upsets me.
Thank you for making this short TB Skyen. I believe this is a more serious topic than people think it is.

"The problem isn't that games limit female character designs to appeal to male horniness, it is that they vastly underestimate the limits of our horniness." -Me, 2021.

Something about these photographs is just so absolutely inspiring

We so RARELY see any of these expressions of "Strength", of "Peak Form"

There's more than one way to be Beautiful - There's more than one way to be Strong

It's definitely not just women. The guys have a generic shape too. It's all about designing a base model and being able to use it as much as possible.
