Show me your OCs who beautifully defy the beauty standard (Male standards or female standards)

[Leyelle]

Both men and women have beauty standards people struggle to live up to their whole lives. Show me you characters who beautifully defy the beauty standards!

And here is her grandmother (at age 15)

[KennethLopezJr921]

Ken is one of the shortest characters in my story standing at 4'3", which is in fact shorter than the average adult male mini schnauzer. On the opposite end of that spectrum is Vicky, one of the tallest characters of the cast at 6'1"

Both characters were teased for their height, and in the case of Vicky her above average strength made her an outcast when she was little. Inspite of this, both characters have managed pretty well with Ken overcoming his height insecurities (though it would result in him having preferences for taller women) and Vicky learning she doesn't need to fit into specific gender roles to be happy and find friends

My newest guy Eugene

I don’t think he really fits the male beauty standards but I think he’s a cutie
When I was drawing him on magma I was told he looks like Weird Al. I think it’s his smile and curly hair

[Leyelle]

I think I can see what they mean about the Weird Al thing lol, but hey, I like Weird Al XD. What is Eugene's story about?

[ntravisb2025]

^ Gunk. That's his name. (Hes not a human, he's a zombie) Same as my new profile picture!!!

[ArtGremlin]

I haven’t gotten the whole thing figured out, but basically he’s an actor who got his first big role as the main villain of this TV show that’s an adaptation of a game/comic series. The villain gives Eggman x Darth Vader vibes lol. The main conflict of the story is a little foggy but I’m thinking there’s gotta be a romance between the girl who plays the heroine/protagonist of the tv show and the guy who plays the villain. Might be a cliché idea but I can imagine I could make it fun and unique in its execution.

I've got plenty of characters who do not follow any beauty standards, but Tsukasa is probably the most obvious example. Not only does he not follow your typical male beauty standards, he also presents femininely. He gets mistaken for a girl often, but that doesn't matter, because he's beautiful presenting femininely.

️ just be confident bro

️ just be yourself bro
️ just take 10000 showers bro

️ just enjoy getting femdommed bro

[KevinReijnders]

I know you're probably being facetious, but being more confident and taking care of yourself is actually good advice.

[skidiggy]

For Apparent Secrets, the one who stands out the most among the others to me is Curtis. His most striking features include piercing gray eyes, sandy brown hair, bushy eyebrows, and he's a bit on the heavier side. Curtis never really considered himself as physically "beautiful," but he has a pleasant warmth and gentleness that naturally draws people to him.

[Leyelle]

It sounds like it could be fun, especially if they fail to seem like they properly hate each other when filming because of their romance XD. Have you drawn the heroine yet?

[Leyelle]

I like thick eyebrows XD. Even give them to my female characters sometimes (Ahhh, Alicia, sorry not sorry, you have your father's genes)

[skidiggy]

Big, thick caterpillar eyebrows. That's where it's at.

[ArtGremlin]

Have you drawn the heroine yet?

Yes… Just not on my ipad. I tend to do a lot of concepts sketches in my schoolwork. I have a drawing of the heroine’s actor not in costume.

She kinda supposed to be like a preppy cute influencer type person (help idk how to draw that aesthetic ) she’s kinda self-centered and judgmental at first but I swear she becomes better. The funny thing is that the character she plays is the selfless save the world type, and she plays her really well.

[Leyelle]

Oh, there is gonna be commentary on Alicia's "dude eyebrows" later on in the story XD

[Leyelle]

hey, you can be a great actress and a bad person at the same time. I'd recommend looking at some instagrammers and YouTubers for reference if you wanna emulate the style though. I think nailing the aesthetic has a lot to do with the makeup tbh. the clothes change a lot but the makeup style is pretty consistent

[applebun]

mmm I have plenty of those but I have a fresh drawing of Tao so here goes:

She actually defies multiple beauty standards, which are the following:
1. The 1930’s beauty standard of being slim and elegant, like an hourglass figure but overall skinny;
2. The Chinese beauty standard of being skinny (I also have a character who canonically gets an ED from this beauty standard)
3. The pretty much everywhere beauty standard of not having too many scars anywhere… I mean…

(Please don’t judge my medical accuracy here lol)

[Oriflamme]

I think Rose is on the extreme edge of the conventional beauty standards. She has a somewhat muscular build and a well defined jaw. With a little bit of effort, she can fit inside the traditional standard, but I think she would look her best if she embraced the butch look.

Here's a quick sketch of how she would look if she had the self confidence to pull off the look.

[Leyelle]

Wifey here (top left) has large moles on her face. Just one mole is considered a beauty mark, but a lot of people consider having facial moles unattractive

[Leyelle]

Let's see

Texas is very short and not very curvy at all, though she has fair skin and long hair which are the beauty standard, she also has tattoos and blue (dyed) hair which is not the beauty standard. Chili is just extra all around, but in many places, especially in asia (where he's from ethnically) his brown skin would not be considered nearly as attractive as it actually is XD
