Thanks everyone who has answered my poll so far (and after I post this!) It's really fascinating to see what people's answers are. I think I was not only impressed but also very happy to see that two of the most popular answers are "a bit pudgy" and "as long as it's their healthy weight." To be completely honest I expected to see the most answers going into "stick thin" and "muscular and toned." But can you blame me? With the way society touts "sexy" and with the multitudes of art of "glorified figures" on this site you sort of forget that a lot of people actually like the "real people look." You know, a real person, not some faux pretty person off of a clothing ad.

Random poll I realize, but it was prompted by a conversation I had about weight and body image. I know I've intrigued and confused people with my claim that I love big guys (and by big I mean gut, not junk)...I suppose they think small girls that like big guys are like the fake bisexuals...people say that they think big guys are hot but then they see one in person - the chest hair, male tits and everything and go "ewwwww." That's definitely not the case with me hahaha.

To be honest, there's nothing wrong with having specific tastes. It's like I tell my friend who loves her some awesome man abs...there's nothing wrong with liking the common ideal of "sexy"...it's just when you're unforgiving of flaws and completely shun every other shape and size of person and treat them as if they are low standards or ugly.

Well, other than that I have not much else to say...winter break is coming up soon so I will finally be able to completely dedicate myself to new art and those unpaid commissions that are waiting on proofs and me to have the time to work with them on it. I've been working on my character designs, and I'll try and post some in the coming weeks...it's a nice mix of fanart, original stuff, and everybody's favorite: lovable geeks.

Love ya'll!
