Artist's commentary

  • Original
    •

    since anon wondered “how she so impossibly thicc?!” This is how I have figured it. 

    *edit, added some shading to some of the tail bones to better separate them for the viewer.

    last image in the line demonstrates that the tail doesn’t have very large footprint on the hips, it is mostly tendon there, and then it rapidly expands to make room for both muscle and fatty deposits feeding the muscle energy and storing heat.

    the tail has fairly large bones as it is a remnantr of bowsers previous form, and it was not only for balance but one of his melee weapons.

    also, it’s why her hips are even more wide set than most other peachified characters.

    The one thing that really annoys me about depictions of monster-girls is when then artist has the tail comes out of the lower back (lumbar region), clearly above the pelvis.

    It's like when some artists do Harley Quinn -- as in, OG-BTAS, à la Bruce Timm -- and then get the red-and-black on the wrong side. (Just think of BTAS Two-Face: begin at the head, black on the left side.)

    That's because like it or not, making the tail came out from the anatomically correct position will make it like they're using tailplugs...not to mention those girls will have problem being seated, and general problem with walking/running upright. They're also more inclined to have slightly hunched posture if the tail is long enough to cause balance problems.

    *Looks over at centaurs with double pelvises* (or double scapulae)
