TEROZU'S PROFILE

Key word here is 'were' Sooz. Women were trained to move and act in extremely feminine manners. It's an extremely outdated practice, but people still occasionally do it, usually models, or actresses, or more sheltered women, but it does still happen.

It originates in the west not the east.

Hell, Marilyn Monroe ran like this sometimes.

@Altered, Beans are good though.

@Liberty, I'll give you not seeing it in real life often(I've seen girls do it when running lightly but not sprinting), because, obviously, it's inconvenient as hell. But I think it gives girls a more, princessy(?) vibe. So it fits for ojou and princess types characters imo. Also laughed really hard at the anime mockery.

@Delsin7, definitely a stylistic choice. She's supposed to be a girly girl from a wealthyish family and acts as the party mage, so i figured the run would fit her character, it is within reason a cartoon after all. Contrasting her the actual princess who joins you is a tomboy who's leading a rebellion against her parents and duel wields guns.

@Sooz, While it is common in JRPGs the stereotype exists all across the globe and women were trained to run like that in some societies.

In one project I'm working on, the main female protagonist has stereo typically feminine motions. A demure walk with her arms poised behind her back, and for her run she sort of flails her arms a bit.

This is a pretty common animation for female characters in JRPGs in general.

Notably so in Final Fantasy, Rosa, Rinoa, Garnet, Yuna, Vanille and all female hume in FF14 exhibit some variation on the girly run.

It's also commonly seen in anime.

What are your thoughts on it as a motion?

My portfolio isn't particularly large, I'm still building it, but I'm offering my services as an Artist, particularly bust images at the moment.




For pricing, it's $5-$10 a character, depending on how difficult it is to draw.

The first pose is included with that price, and every other pose is $1-$5 depending on the complexity of the pose, additional outfits count as moderately complex poses, and are an additional $3 per outfit per pose.

Emotions beyond the first on each pose is an additional $1.

Kadokawa edited busts are $7
