Jhudiah's New Look...

It did show that there wasn't just the stereotypical barbie-doll figure on the site, which is pretty much everything else I look at (the other faeries, female heroes, etc). This is not a good thing for the self-esteem of younger children who don't happen to have supermodel figures and can't wear revealing and skimpy clothing.

ledi i'm with you on that, besides, i really liked jhudiah curvier, it suited the whole island thing, i always equated it with pacific islanders, and usually they aren't the tallest of people, of course that depends which island you are talking about. :roll:

personally, full figure is a good idea for an island faerie, consider many cultures believe that full figure = fertitily = all things good. now this isn't true in dominant western society, but also yest consider some of the most famous woman were those with curves, consider marilyn monroe for example, and i feel really sorry for that model who used to model the wonderbra, poor thing was a size 10 and she almost killed herself to fit the new changing attitude, but some people are genetically not able to be small, and she was one of them. and many races have that genteically built in too, things like height, eg, all my family are short as, same thing with weight as well.

i think that the reason jhudiah looks different in the gallery is because they cut her legs off. and of course, did elongate her body a bit, but its the missing legs which make her look so much thinner.

She has the kind of dynamic physique that you'd see in comic books. How many women action heros do you know are fat and wear full length skirts with shirts that button up to their eyebrows?

i would like to point out wonder woman. and she had several movies and comics which still run today. and shes not what i would consider a size 6. i'm not knocking your views, i just think i liked jhudiah as a sort of island goddess, and curves suit that ideal most.

Hahaha... Just to make sure, you're not talking about real people here. You're talking about faeries. I have to laugh at the idea of a faerie with eating disorder... do faeries even eat?

Sorry, when I start on an idea, I don't let it go. So, I drew this up. It's a Brightvale Faerie.

See! It's not a stick!

Oooh nice, looks very motherly to me.

But in my opinion a brightvale faerie will look very classy and elegant (kind of snobbish-like), though. This one looks very suitable for the soup kitchen.

The soup faerie looks too thin.

YOU drew this? Wow you're talented!!!

And actually I think the faerie you drew is more sexy than the ones on neopets but that could have something to do with personal preference

And I don't understand why all the faeries need be so scantily clad.

Isn't the Negg Faerie male?

I'm actually really scared of the Negg Faerie.

For those that are as old on neopets as I, you'll remember the OLD faeries. With no face, and LOTS of clothing.

Uber faeries: (these seemed to.. oh... die?! didn't they?)

And while it doesn't exactly fit here... The Negg faerie looked rather... 'special'

There are the originals. Once they started changing them, they got a lot less clothing... And slowly turned into what we see today. Half-naked-perfect-bodies-with-wings.

The thing is, brighvale has always been all "Look at us! We are a poor little village full of nice people that happen to live extremely close the the snobbish upper class men!"

Just put a link to the page then:

I think it's really disturbing that they don't have faces

I don't see why it matters what the faeries look like since they're cartoon faeries.
