Description This was inspired by many things, the quote is from a MCR video, the subject inspired by watching the documentary "thin" I've always been curious about eating disorders I never understood them, I watched the documentary because I wanted to understand more about them--and it didn’t answer any of my questions at all... it was the same thing over and over again " I can't eat that much because I'll get fat" and I'm just kinda sitting there going " so?" they never elaborated more on that in the documentary and it bugged me. There are WORSE things in the world to be.

but I already knew the answer... the answer is that people today (it's not just girls anymore it's getting boys too) are brainwashed--oh yea I said it, BRAINWASHED into believing that only one type of look can be pretty, and if you don't believe me look at advertisements 92% of all ads are pretty skinny white and young and the other 7% are minorities, it's bullshit. What has happened today? And I say today because in the past the most beautiful women of all time like. Marilyn Monroe and Betty Paige were sizes 9 and 12 and what’s the standard today? Like 6 or below? It’s a standard of beauty that is COMPLEALTY arbitrary.

Goth, skater, punk, prep, cheerleader, geek, raver WHATEVER the style if you search em on Google the "sexy" versions of these genres are always rail thin. It’s the saaaame thing just packaged differently.

Now...with all that said...MEET VIRGINIA! Some of you might remember her stick figure self in my comic "lol teenagers" [link] we'll here’s the real deal, not much different form the stick figure version I’m afraid. She was created for the simple fact that Marie Jayne needed a friend, and I needed a bad character who WASENT on drugs just to show I'm not bias I hate everyone equality. she’s so fun to draw, always I always said if yer gonna make a character rail thin do it correctly <3 because I swear some of the "styles" out there if they were translated into real people they would look like this (warning: nudity)[link] and I really really hope no one wants that. because unless you live in a third world country like Nicaragua there’s no excuse to look that way, none.

No I didn’t fuck up on drawing her legs their SUPPOSE to look like new born pony legs, expect a character sheet of her in the future. Now a lot of people ask me “gee why do you care so much about people with ED's?" I really don't because honestly? in this world it's survival of the fittest and Darwin says let the weak die, however I have a few friends who have these types of issues, I even dated someone with anorexia once, hopefully by making a character that’s so brainwashed she can hardly function people can learn and see things they way they want too, instead of how the media tells them it should look.

As for me? What do I think is beautiful and perfect?...I think everything has beauty, it's just that not everyone can see it.

Virginia ©

p.s if you don't know what arbitrary means look it up because I’m not Webster

p.s.s sorry for the monster description, I had a lot to say :3 I'm done now, any thoughts on the art would be just super.

By you’re signature I can see you’re very young and very under educated. (because Images from DA are often posted on photo bucket without the artists knowledge)

I can also tell you’re very young because of this comment; no adult would just leave a bunch of caps lock on a complete stranger’s art work that is beyond rude.


I’m ASSUMING you’re mad about my DESCRIPTION, not the picture because of this comment “unless you live in a third world country like Nicaragua there’s no excuse to look that way, none.”

Do you like, not know how to read?

WHERE in that sentence did I say that all people from Nicaragua look like this? WHERE did I say that they sit in the street? Where did I say they don’t work hard? Will you please show me where that is said.

What is “all of that trash” that I am spewing? Will you please tell me? …and you know what? Even if I WAS “talking trash” who are YOU to come to MY page and tell ME what to do?

Look, this image is NOT ABOUT people in Nicaragua, I said that people are starving in third world countries LIKE Nicaragua, that’s great that you have family there, but Nicaragua is STILL a third world country, where many people are poor and starving regardless of how hard they work, I know this because when I was in high school my class was raising money to buy a poor Nicaraguan villain a cow.

DOES THAT MEAN that all people in Nicaragua are poor and starving? No. Because that’s apparently what you think I meant.

Also: if you will look at this picture, This girl is not sitting in the street, nor is she poor, she lives in a nice house and she has a fridge full of food…but she chooses not to eat it because she thinks being starving is sexy. And THAT is what this image is about, how many countries are starving to death because they do not have food, but in well developed countries there are many people starving just because they want to look like a skeleton.

So, maybe next time you should READ and THINK before opening you’re mouth and going off on a random stranger because you mis-read their art work and/or something they said!

I'm so darn glad somebody is finally seeing this in the times we live.
I live in Europe, and here we are not THAT pressured to be bone skinny, but I am shocked that the american media is actually trying to say that a "bone view" (how I like to call it) is actually the only thing beautiful and sexy on a woman.
I am 13 and pretty pudgy for my age, and I keep hearing people saying to me: "Oh my god, Oana, you really should lose some weight", but I really feel proud of myself, 'cuz in this life, I don't wanna make money with my butt, but my brains. And I think all the fat girls should think just like I do.
For some girls is just extremly depressing to have a body that is not cuted and pasted from the magazines and they think that nobody is ever going to look at them, girls or boys. But I am fat, I got friends that really care about me and don't give a shit about my weight, I had a boyfriend, I got boys that liked me in the past and present, I got my intelligence and I don't think I need anything else.
But like I said, I'm not under that much of a pressure like american women are.
People really need to learn that not everyone can be skinny, is not the only body type and women that are curvy are also sexy and beautiful, and europeans are a step closer to that.

WOW! That is a very powerful statement in your words and in your art!
And you're right; it is sad how American media tries to sell the B.S lie of "being skinny is the only way to beauty". On another thought, in some foreign countries like parts of Africa, Rome, or Germany (to name a few) They consider plump, or robust women to be beautiful...Other nations seem to be accepting on all levels so why doesn't America? This generational fib isn't teaching anyone anything except how to think negatively about anyone who's different. Not to mention it brings oppression on anyone young or older who is struggling with self image issues.
You don't have to be skinny to be beautiful!!
I for one am a woman 5ft 7inches and weighing 223 pounds...Yes I know some may "gasp" but I don't care; I'm not trying to please no one but myself. I know who I am and what I'm about. I am beautiful inside and out!
I totally love your art work, I hope more people like you will get this message across.
Beauty is in everything, it is up to each individual to decide what it is and means to themselves.
Don't let media like magazines and TV commercials ruin your thoughts.
Screw the haters and love yourself for who you are!
That's all that matters.

Candy2021 In reply to airashiikoneko [2007-10-18 00:34:54 +0000 UTC]

I'm so glad SOMEONE got the message.


and it's all about Money if the media keeps flooding the air waves with unrelaiistic air brushed and photoshoped models that arent humanly possible to accheive then they lower ameircas self esteem and if people have low self esteem they will do ANYTHING to feel better like spending millions and millions of dollars on products to make them look younger, lose weight, be prettier etc.

if people felt good about themselves they wouldnet buy these things.

and go you! I mean there is NO LAW that says you MUST be thin to be beautiful but by whats on TV you'd think that there was, as long as someone is HEALTHY it shouldent matter how fat or thin they are, hell I outweight you by atleast 10 pounds but I don't have diabetis, no high blood pressure and my colestorol is most likley lower then leila ali's I'm just over weight and I'm fine with that, my only gripe about it is finding clothing, I don't have a problem with my weight- nobody should have a problem with their weight if their pudgy, it's society that has the problem, flat out refusal to make the same outfit in ALL sizes and closed minded images in the media. it's sad.\

what the media does to these girls should be a crime they STARVE themselves ( whitch only idiots do becuase anyone with a brain knows thats not how you lose weight ) and dig their fingers into themselves to pull out a inch of flesh and go " look at all that fat!" it's not fat...it's FLESH and humans are suppose to have it. were not meant to look like insects man.

beauty comes in all sizes, not just one.

also, thank you so much for getting the message it means I'm doing SOMETHING right!

airashiikoneko In reply to Candy2021 [2007-10-18 20:58:27 +0000 UTC]

Don't belittle yourself...You are doing something RIGHT. For one, you are stating YOUR opinion! All these over-sensitive goobers saying stuff like "Oh that's mean! Your are against the skinny people! You are narrow minded!" My first response to that is, if they don't like it, (and can be adult about their words) they should talk about it, no problem. Any immature responders should move on. Yes people are entitled to give you feed back; but cursing at you and threatening you...that's a load of B.S!!!
For two, your artworks are going to be unique because they represent you and your personal ideas. (that's the whole purpose of "art") Why others talk shit on a person's submissions and then turn around and get mad at the comments that people leave on their pages, I have no idea....there's too many ironic terms to even touch on that subject!
And three; If a "Mo-Fo" (you should know what that means) does indeed come on your page to put you on blast because "their feelings are hurt" by what you display...PLEASE don't respond to them. The only thing you are doing is feeding "trolls", don't give them the satisfaction by getting mad, they just want to get a rise out of you. Just because you won't respond doesn't make you less of anything. They just have nothing better to do! Don't give them any "ammo" to work with and they'll shut up!
Your works "go against the flow" of bandwagons and "typical" subjects. There's nothing wrong with controversial subjects as long as it's not being on display to be ignorant (that's annoying, right?) That is indeed how majority of renaissance, and pop culture artists (to name a few medians) raised the bar to get to where we are today. I'm sure they were persecuted about their works as well, but all the B.S made them stronger!
Oh as for the clothes thing; LOL! I totally understand where you are coming from! My shirts are the HARDEST things to buy! I wear a large normally but because of my boobs, it has to be an XL on the top! It's the worst feeling ever! And jeans are bad when not all designers create your pants size equally...me wearing a 16 and then some brands (like LEVI'S) their 16's feel like 12's! Really makes shopping hard! LOL!!!
But like we both said, it's all good cuz we like ourselves no matter what size we are!
Kudos to you!!

someday I hope to control the media, to rid the world of arbitary message like " oh I didnet get the role becuase I had a bad read, I'm not thin enough' this is the message that actresses and pop stars get and it shows to their fans who are these little girls going to look up too?

I wouldn't want my child growing up in a world where he/she is not loved becuase of how they LOOK it's so stupid... I really wish i had more blind friends they must be so worldly, to be free of the constraints that vision gives us. who cares if something looks like? a cookie could look perfect but taste burnt and horrid on the inside. "boohoo fat people are squishy! I don't like iiit' yea and skinny people are bony and pointy, and unless your an insect your not SUPPOSE to be pointy.

do i think people should eat themselves into oblivion? no, but do i think they should be beaten and broken and reset to fit a mold that inst for them? no. whatever size you are, your clearly that way for a reason. stop trying to diet yourself to fit a standard thats set for soemone else. hell we can't even look up to models these days their all air brushed, photoshoped and faked anyways.

but I'm glad SOMEONE got my message X) it means I did my job as an artist.

Lmfao at the comment above mine!

Anyways, I love it when you do imagery like this because it tends to get people all hyped up and angry <3

I like the lighting here, as well as the shading on the door, its pretty dead on perfect. Also I like seeing you draw Virginia, since you like only showed me that one time and then she disappeared D: Her pose and anatomy is really well done for the subject since even though I draw people very thin myself--I cant make them look boney XD;

The quote I find fits this subject really well, and Im sure people can relate to this too (for those who have problems a bit like this). And I also like the floor and the bottom boarder of the room btw. Nice work as always!

dude I've been giggling at a lot of comments on this. stiring up people is what I do best! but I was trying to send a positive message and it just went like 6 inches over some peoples heads.


I need to draw her more, shes so fuck to draw despite being fucked up, I don';t have to worry about making her look disjointed because shes suppose to look that way, and well theres a difference between thin and boney, lots of people draw their characters so thin that it doesn't look like they HAVE bones...but mostly everyone disreguards this rule because accurately emphasizing how incorrectly skinny they are just makes them look----disgusting... X) and thats why I did it for Virginia.

I coulda done the floor a tad better but Im so glad you enjoyed it!!!

"it gets tiring, and insulting, and your opinions are unfounded, unsupported, and offensive."
is there and "me" or "i" mentioned or implied there? uhhh, no. it was a generalized statement about your offensive opinions and unfounded accusations on OTHER PEOPLE (and you being on a damn soapbox). You making it out to be me talking about myself is your simple mind’s way of attacking me and trying to make me out to be the “bad guy” in the situation because you are looking for someone to blame, and someone to put down. You put down skinny people first, then me when I stand up for them.
It sounds to me that you are just bitter and jealous and that is truly sad that you would turn your own retarded perspective around to front me as the narcissistic one. YOU are narcissistic, and I’m sorry, the world (and my words) do NOT revolve around you.

First off, please learn how to use the DA reply system.

Secondly you’re the one who came to MY page and said useless stuff that did not relate to my artwork in no way shape or form.

Infact that’s the only time I ever get comments from you, when you have a problem with anything I do...never a "hey nice job on this or that" it's always something negative. Either comment on everything or don't comment at all.

And this is true, but seeing as how you said it was offensive I took that to mean offensive towards YOU. And who’s putting down skinny people? no where at all in any of my statements did I say skinny people are vile creatures that need to be burned with acid, this piece is about people who have serious eating disorders who need to get help, did you read the description at all? everything I said was based around a documentary I watched and individuals I have studied for my anthropology class.so lets see I fail to see the unfounded or unsupported parts. also i fail to see whose being put down and who your standing up for.

Bitter and jealous of what? You’re talking in circle my dear. Not only did you COMPLEATLY misinterpret the meaning of this piece but you’ve turned it into a ground for personal attack, that was a tad unnecessary. not to mention, the world revolving around me? your right the world nor nothing you says revolve around me in anyway..but here? in MY gallery, everything else does.

And yea....I'm totally the one spewing retarded dribble that was all me resorting to childish name calling, yep.

I know how to use the reply system. I clicked on your reply, it opened, I typed my message in the window provided below it labeled “reply”…if that somehow failed it is of no fault of mine, either way, your attack on the matter is irrelevant and further evidence of your lack of maturity.

Darling, when was the last time you commented on my shit? When I post a scrap of myself? I’m sorry if I do not like your style, and rarely have anything positive to say about them, but how can I say something constructive when they are SO stylized in a way that I would have NO RIGHT to comment on due to my lack of understanding. I can’t talk anatomy, or shading, or perspective with you, so what do you want? There is NO RULE saying I comment on them ALL or NONE…I have the right to pick and chose what pieces I comment on and what I say in them, and I comment on a few of everyone’s I watch, not all of them, or none of them.

I have read your description, have you? You attack thin people (people with “ED”s) after watching a documentary that YOU feel makes them superficial (“because I don’t want to get fat”) and are INSULTING by calling thin people (people with ED’s and the average person that diets basically) “BRAINWASHED” by the media and claiming “Darwin” will kill them off…and you are confused as to why anyone would be offended by your words?
When has watching a video in a class (especially one like THIN that was not meant to teach you about an ED but show what a personal hell it is to live with one by telling a story through the perspective of residents in a ED treatment facility) made you suddenly an expert? Like I said: Unfounded and unsupported.
You are part of the problem in America today. You complete narcissism is a classic sign of a person in denial. You are jealous, which turns to hurt, then embarrassment, then rage, when it comes to the fact that YOU are not what America TODAY cherishes as beautiful. Well, guess what, I’m not either, but I’m not attacking people prettier or thinner than me to make myself feel better. Times change. Yeah, the 50s people loved Marilyn Monroe, guess what? In the 60s it was TWIGGY! Right now America likes skinny again, fucking get over it and wait a decade and fat chicks will be back in style. Until then, pray to your altar of Kate Winslet and Queen Latifah.
Childish name-calling would be me calling you a stupid bitch. Pointing out that you are being a moron is different.

I didn’t get anything in my inbox just a lil FYI.

And I DO comment on your stuff! Your Draco Ginny stuff etc. after awhile I just gave up when I saw nothing I said nice was returned. If you don't like my style why...are you watching me? Comments don’t HAVE to always be critiques say what you like say what you don't like. I draw about just about every topic under the sun, stomping out pot heads, making pro-choicers feel like shit etc. comments and critiques are two completely different things.

Who’s attacking? Did I say that this is an epidemic and needs to be stomped out and hunted like game? You are turning it into something its not, and are simply looking for reasons to be angry. I only base what I say off what I SEE and if that’s all I see I'm not the one to blame for it. It’s about being fat or thin--see? This is exactly what I'm talking about. There IS a middle ground, something you repeatedly ignore. Not to mention I'm not attacking anyone I'm attacking a fictional character that IS brainwashed, the only person who has seen this as anything other then what it really is you, and that wouldn’t be the first time this has happened with you.

Just being my opinion is different from yours does not make me a moron, but becoming combative over nothing defiantly makes you one.

I thought I was the over analytical one. Jealous? Me? don’t drag me into a debate about a fictional cultural reference I don’t belong in there. plus Attacking others to elevate myself is beneath me (haaa punny) ... tell me something how is POINT OUT the OBVIOUS in anyway attacking something? Because that all that’s happened here. It’s a harsh reality and the public deserves to see it. All I did was point out what’s already there YOUR the one who had to turn it into this big---I dunno what. bitch or not, I really don't care, if you don't like my style OR what I have to say then take me off your watch list, WHATEVER you do stop clogging up my devation,it's an embarrassment in front of my watchers AND it's throwing off my comment count statistic.

But I will say this… we both love to point out the obvious, were a lot alike Sarah perhaps that’s why we clash.

everything always has to be about you doesn't it?

for your information I created this character in January of 2006, had this planned for quite awhile, anything that you see that relates to you in anyway is purely coincidental.

on another note I wouldn't talk about unfounded,unsupported and offensive opinions if I were you.

Ok what the hell is going on with us?! I saw this quote in the video and I had a idea to make a straved to death girl picture too! I swear to god Candy our minds are connected or something this month! xD

Yes but I mostly agree with what you are saying. The media has brain washed us. Even me-well, kinda. See I have Obessive Complisive Disorder and my mind tells me I can only get certin foods in certin amounts or I'll throw up (I have a phobia of that) and die. Rediciuos sounding, I know. But i do believe it. I'm getting better. I'm allowing myself more foods and candy then I used too but I am deathly afraid of vomiting. I guess in a way I have a bit of a eating disorder with the limiting food and all but my therapist says it's my OCD. I hope it does'nt devolp into anaroxia though (because I would NEVER have bulimia=vomiting=scared!)

But despite her being deadly thin and nasty, I do like the message in this piece. Be yourself even if you are overweight. Beauty is inside, not outside. It can be hard sometimes to believe that, but everyone is beautiful to me, except people like this who try too hard and end up a disgusting skeleton. But really it is a disease because the person can't always help it. Thin is a excepted thing in this shitty society and I believe that some people can trick themselfs into tinking that a skeleton is the way to be and make themselves sick and then devolp a emotional disease. I know that things like cancer and stuff is really called diseases, but things in our head like OCD and ED's are diseases to me too.

Anyway after my long stammering, I am probroly gonna copy you again and use this quote if I may please? lol

I had a childhood friend suffer from anorexia after her parents divorced. I'd rather see her because she was always in-and-out of the hospital. But she's starting to control it now.

But she wasn't doing it because she was 'fat'. It was more... because she couldn't control things like her parents' divorce and her father being very controlling and strict, she felt vulnerable. Like... eating was the only power and control she had in her life - controlling what she ate gave her confidence instead of shriveling into a ball of weeping vulnerability. Not that it makes it any 'better'.
I don't really like the label that gets stuck onto people who suffer eating disorders. They just automatically assume it's because they don't want to be 'fat'. But there are a lot of other reasons. My friend would always get bitched about behind her back a lot, because people thought she was was doing it to look 'hot'. Christ, that made me angery.

Yeah... sorry, it doesn't have much to do with anything, just thought I'd flux out from the other generic 'me good, anorexia bad' comments on here.
Eh... not that I have a right to rant out against eating disorders, seeing as I went through a bulemic phase but eh. I'm still fat so bleh. XD

I really like that saying though. And I bet she'd be a bitch to re-occuringly draw. XD

It's such a terribly common problem now and it's not right! This is a big issue for me, not because I have a eating disorder but you're very right about the brain washing! People see it on TV and in magazines! Super waif thin is the standard of beauty that these young girl believe! It's like it's not ok just to like yourself the way you are and why didnt the parents install these values in their children! >.< (Jeez I could rant about this all day!) But it's good that artist are going peices like this these days! She's not pretty and she looks sick and if only people with ED would see that! I mean something needs to be done!

I have to agree with the stuff you said. Everyone thinks they must be thin, and watch everything they eat - bullshit. You can eat what you want - just don't over do it! I have no idea what goes through some people's heads. I know SO many bulimic ass-wipes, that wonder why they collapse or feel drained, well, answer, if they didn't throw up thier food, they wouldn't feel like that! xD
I really love how this image portrays everything too! Very well done!! -Kel

I have a buddy who also has a problem gaining weight, it's funny how genetics assign people differnt body types eh?

but thats another thing that bugs me. most people are SO incredible stupid they seem to think thats thats all there is in life fat and skinny. if its not skinny it MUST be fat, when thats a buncha horse shit theres TONS of things in between people are just too dumb to notice.

I like her hair, but that's about it. She's disgusting; how could anyone find being that skinny physically attractive? I'm afriad I'll break people like that if I even touch them; they look so breakable. D:

That encyclopedia picture is not right; so many visible bones, yet she has balloon breasts. It's so wrong, but it would explain why more American white girls can be seen being skeletons; I've yet to see a black or Latino person like that. O:

Pffft, Marilyn Monroe was shapely and beautiful. If that's fat, I'm a fucking whale. xD

Have you ever seen old cartoons from Playboy in the 60s? All the women in them have large breasts, but also very big hips. How did America go from that to this in a short amount of time?
