Proportion Standardization

Added 2025-01-19 21:39:49 +0000 UTC

After studying many standing drawings for currently popular social games this is more or less the conclusion that I have come to.

Notes:
- Many features of anime proportions actually remain true to life, but some other parts vary wildly. Specifically, female characters have relatively tiny rib cages compared to real-life anatomy.
- This is the trick to getting the impression of large breasts without making them hyper size. Having a small rib cage with relatively straight sides (a ribcage that doesn't "bow out") creates an overhang silhouette.
- Upper body (groin up) proportions don't change much IP to IP, but the leg length changes frequently.
- For example, Dolphin Wave girls will be around 6.5 heads tall while Arknights can hit 8+ depending on the character, with most of the different being just how long the legs are. It all comes down to the intended age the characters are supposed to give off.
- I've settled on something around the middle at just over 7 (with heels).

Thanks for your support! I will continue to study and improve my skills as we proceed through 2025.
