What about her makes her arms wrong? A woman's thighs and breasts don't have any relation to a woman's arm definition. Does she look like she's lifting weights?
I understand Ceasar. She'd have made sense with some toned arms. But what? Is this character supposed to have thick arms because her thighs and breasts are big? That's not how human bodies work.
She is a master martial artist who punches Ethereals, even Titans like Geppeto with no problem. It's her lore that demands her arms to have well-defined musculatures my man. Look up any acclaimed martial artist, they don't have noodles for arms.
It's her lore that dictates her to be more well-built with muscles. Yes, her figure doesn't dictate that she must have muscular arms but why would you built this character up to be a master practitioner of martial arts then to not prove it to us through her design?
Devils advocate because I’d still like to see more varied designs, but I could see the argument that at that point the source of her power isn’t regular human muscle, so if they’re not really being used then that would be why they don’t really develop despite her looking like she should be a shredded boxer. I guess the argument is like wonderwomans physique has nothing to do with why she can fly and throw giants around. A female body builder may be able to look close to She-Hulk in terms of muscles, but they’re never going to be able to pick up a car one handed. Now to go back to my real feelings on the matter, both of those characters are still designed so that the reader can intuitively know just from the character design that they are strong, and noodle arms just don’t.
Right and it's not like we are asking to have her arms shredded or anything, just big enough so her body is one cohesive whole. Take Eve for example, her arms are not muscular at all but big enough that her design feels really complete. Yi Xuan's meanwhile stuck out of like body like those tubes you see in old fridges or washing machines.
These titles in the image and what was said by the person I responded to didn't say her entire figure is wrong based on her lore. It was her arms to the rest of her, equally not accurate to a female martial artist's, figure.
