'femininity' is achieved more by affectation than genetics
Thank you for putting in coherent words what I've been arguing about for years with my father.
Apart from that, your art is gorgeous. I don't think Polly looks too feminine--androgynous is the key word here-- and the shaved-head Tonker looks great. I actually prefer her that way-- she strikes me as the sort of resolute, definite person who'd go all the way with her intended look. She also looks as hard as she is. Maladict is spot-on (and hilarious), and I feel Igorina is also right-- 'normal' enough not to stare at her, but 'off' enough to make you go 'wait there...'. It's a thin line, and you stay right on it.
I wonder if I'm making any sense. :)
Also, may I friend you? I'm not an artist, more in the lines of a failed-writer person thingie, but I do love art and devour any that comes my way, and I try to be as constructive as possible in commenting (I don't necessarily succed at that). That, and a Pratchett fanatic.
