... Shooooooes shoes are awesome. (I admit I'm not a huge fan of the TSM ones... but I'll also admit on certain meshes I could probably be convinced to put them on my fairies. Just because they're not historically accurate turnshoes doesn't mean Auberon, Lankin, Mallebron, and Puck couldn't wear 'em.)
*nods* The bodybuilders are pretty popular, it seems. But the hip issue is why I stick to Medieval-- the other period I know a lot about is Victorian, but hands disappear right into those skirts, unless you're in the second bustle period, in which case the trains look weird.
That looks similar to what I kind of want to do... I mean, I can't describe it as a line, it's more like three qualities radiating out from a central point, if that makes sense. Trying to explain it in HTML failed (too many underscores) so have a crappy image:
Clearly, I'm still thinking in the Sims 1 Fat/Fit/Skn mold, only expanded.
For me, the ideal Slim +2 lady doesn't exist-- a couple of Warlokk's things are close, but not quite. If you took the Faerie Gal, added a couple inches to her chest measurement (not her bust, her ribcage; her arms hang funny and it bugs me), then used the A-cup breast here (if maybe with more understated nipples because... well), that would pretty much be the perfect ballet-dancer Delicate Damsel shape that I see in my head.
Really, the bright thing for me to do would be pair the WRS and the Neanderthal, but I'll hold out. I want shapes that look like brother and sister, you know? (Not that I can guarantee the skintone will be genetically passed, but there are only so many miracles that can be worked within the game engine.) And it's entirely possible I'll like Buxom Wench/Brawny Knight and RGv2/Portly.
It almost sounds like Valkyrie would make a good counterpart to Neanderthal, too, depending on how much larger the bustline is. I'm looking forward to seeing all these shapes! And it's great to see the LBB and the Neanderthal together. The LBB is definitely the Dashing Swordsman bodyshape, while the Neanderthal is much more the Blacksmith or Baker; the guy who lifts heavy things and uses his arms all day for a living.
