This is for a contest run by Kxhara about designing a "fat" female superhero: [link]

Reading the details of her contest certainly motivated me to create an entry, as she details a scenario that occured at SDCC regarding Selkiesiun's portfolio. Selkiesiun was criticized by portfolio reviewers for drawing women who were not the "industry ideal" in terms of their figure, even calling her Batwoman drawing "fat" and directing her to use Sports Illustrated models as reference in the future. Reading that enraged me, as it shows the shallowness of the industry.
Anyways, I came up with this pretty quickly, a BBW superheroine. The costume is pretty basic, but I went for simplicity and a classic feel as opposed to the overdetailed designs of the modern superhero. I gave her the name Neutron Star to avoid the use of 'woman' or 'girl' in her title.

Sports Illustrated models are in no way "at the peak of human perfection"... their just sculpted supermodels. I guarantee you they are far from fit in anyway of being able to do any kind of athletics...

I love this big woman, she beautiful and pulls off sexy too. Nice classic hero outfit too :)

This had my vote. I love the strong colours and the powerful pose. Great take on a "classical" plus-size superhero <3

Very nice stylized rendition of a large woman. You did particularly well with the tiny hands and feet in comparison to the round center mass. Bonus points for the flat boots instead of high heels. I love the name too. Gravitic powers, maybe?
