My age must be showing. It's interesting to me that so many of the posters in this thread are women who are saying "Tha's Sexay!" Well, I know a few of you wimmin avatars are wimmin behind 'em, anyway. *heh*

I personally don't find that pic all that "sexay". (40-some male speaking.) Rowr, especially "Skimpy Bikini Rowr", tends to get the pinup treatment anyway. Something like this, that is practically saying, um, "I am hot and bothered, please do something about it" is just too over the top.

It crossed the line between "hawt" and "teenage fantasy" at the point that Rowr's, uh, bosoms turned watermelon-sized. I don't think Rhardo neccesarily intended it that way. He got a little carried away with the proportions to start and then he tried that horizonal line on the bikini top to give it some depth or perspective and the result is um, well, let's just say that it's not quite as bad as David Nakayama's Dominatrix with the breasts bigger than her head.

I think he would have done better to bite the bullet and draw her "au natural", and used her fur to define and contour her shape. Of course, the whole bare skin stripe down the middle (that, intentionally or not, just accentuates the whole focus on Rowr's genitalia) may have been a misunderstanding of the character or maybe just an experiment that turned out to be not such a great idea in practice.

The challenge of a character like Rowr is that her sexuality is already fundamental. She's a cat girl. She's a tiger. We all know that those skimpy bikini's are just there for the sake of propriety and that she'd lose them in half-a-second if she was "released into the wild". That means that a really good depiction of her is one that draws your focus to her personality and lets the sexuality speak for itself. Making it this blatant just shows that the artist is zeroed in on the wrong aspects of the character, IMO.

Most of the time the bigger than average chest size is the result of the artist, not direct input from the owner of the character.

More than once I've requested an artist to...shrink Tarby's chest size on a preliminary drawing. Something Rowr and I both have in common as we both play cat-girl characters.

I agree with what you are saying. Oversize chests can be just as unattractive as they are attractive.

As for the pic, I liked it more for the "you just pissed me off" expression (so I thought) than anything.

Oh and sorry for the ADHD fueled post XD

Hehe yeah, I never explicity specified breast size though I generally almost always do. However this one was so low cost that I am not going to complain that much.

And yes I am not fond of gianormous boobies, they've actually started to become more of a turn-off for me lately. I prefer more normal sized 'average' ones (even the CoH slider on minimum is still too big, me thinks!).

I really wasn't sure what to make of your post Riptide. Wasn't sure if you were critiquing the art or calling me a sl-t :P
Which i'm not!
It's really weird. Yes I started off CoH nakie, that's because I couldn't wear any kind of clothing in the costume creator. Then we got those shirts and shorts and since then I have -always- been clothed, though everyone still thinks of me as nakie. Oh well.

I don't think being a catgirl makes me fundamentally sexy. I think being female does! And yes since Rowr was once a tiger, the concept of wearing clothing is still a foreign concept almost. But she understands in public she should wear clothes. Causes less staring!!! But at home it's just more comfy to be nakie (which I am totally on board with too!)


But yeah I don't see the pic as overly sexual. In fact not at all, more of a ... well what Tarby said. "Don't piss me off" :P

From all the posts I've seen of Rowr, I've never thought of her as "promiscuous" or whatnot. She's just attractive... same as my 'tiger girl'. I'm sure she's had her share of romance RP (based on the stories I've read from Valkyrie) but again, that wouldn't be sassy behavior in the D, necessarily.

Ha ha ha! I'm laughing for real right now!

Um, firstly, I separate people from their characters. If I WAS somehow making a statement about Rowr, it wouldn't be a statement about whoever's behind the alias Rowrsie. I don't know that person from Eve (Adam? )

Secondly, I don't really know anything about Rowr other than reading a few of your posts and seeing your art commissions over the years. Whether she is or isn't a **** (something I highly doubt) isn't within my purview. I was mostly suggesting that you can take the tiger out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the tiger.

The rest was more a comment on the catgirl meme than on Rowr specifically. Anyway, if Rowr was to be tossed back into the jungle for good, I'd see her pulling off that bikini or whatever and saying "Welp! Don't need these any more!"

Consider that it was basically armchair art critique and that's pretty much the bottom line. Y impression of the piece was that it was focussing overly much on those attributes of Rowr that make her a sexual being as opposed to those attributes that make her a person. It was Mssr. Rhardo's fantasy, basically. Well, somebody's fantasy, anyway.
