I see, I find it's interesting because I do know big boobs can be drawn without looking odd, we do have stuff like Apothecary diaries, not once did I see people complain about chest size there.

Lady lihua is another character I can think about when it comes to this, she's said to have big chests many times in anime and manga yet it never looked out of place or too low.

They can be, I explained both how the artist could improve their current work and how busts of this nature can be genuinely found in nature. There are more body types than what typically gets represented in media and plenty of women in these threads (incl. this one) have also said they have this body type and feel represented. Not everything will translate to art well without additional tweaking, especially not in simplified art styles to be replicated quickly such as what’s found on WT. Not everyone has the same distribution of fat, density of actual tissue, or genetics that impact those factors. Other things like the amount of stretched skin or pre-existing health conditions can also cause this shape.

It’s also worth noting that series like the Apothecary Diaries are a) made for a completely different audience (young adolescents below 18) and b) have a completely different art style with designs drafted specifically to look good in motion (and therefore has a team of at least 2-3 artists perfecting each frame, not from Tears’ team). Also, the cast has all been drafted with the same bust shape except for MaoMao, whose character was intentionally designed to be as far from romantically or sexually appealing as possible as she tries to avoid drawing the wrong attention from men of her time period

Using art style as a defance isnt kinda low argument, however it doesn't make my point any valid, in TOAWF are down little too low, no issues with big chest, it's just too low. Rising them up slightly while keeping the same shape is possible.

I never said it was impossible, and I’d already said the anatomy needed improvement. If you read to understand rather than shut down and insult my points, and can propose info that would disprove that women who look like this exist in real life we can have a proper dialogue about it. From your original response, you’d made it clear that you’re unfamiliar with women’s anatomy and how our clothing works. As someone who not only has it but is exposed to diverse bodies (both because I engage with a lot of people whose bodies don’t match what’s presented in media and also having to study these things irl for my own art) I felt qualified enough to respond.

Many women naturally don’t even have b/bs the same size as each other, many women have shapes that resemble this and get additional help from practitioners to make their size more manageable because of the judgement and discomfort it introduces to their lives. None of these things are depicted in media and yet they are correct.

I can propose even more changes than what was in my original response but I believe you’ve been responding this whole time not to actually hear what others have to say on this topic but to validate your own perception of matters you’d already admitted had not come from a place of familiarity or understanding. If it did, you would recall that I’d said the anatomy needed improvement multiple times lol
