Specifically, with Marianna. I wanted to create a body for her which was curvy, but not just &#8216;less skinny with big tits&#8217;. After analyzing some real life models to look at their proportions, and actually getting some measurements from a very nice and friendly cammodel, I&#8217;ve ended up with this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft1.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft2-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marianna-redraft2.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Trolls<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"def-header\"><em><a class=\"word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=troll\" name=\"5096\">troll<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"meaning\"><em>One who posts a deliberately\u00a0<a class=\"autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=provocative\" data-hasqtip=\"7\">provocative<\/a>\u00a0message to a newsgroup or message board with the\u00a0<a class=\"autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=intention\" data-hasqtip=\"8\">intention<\/a>\u00a0of causing\u00a0<a class=\"autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=maximum\" data-hasqtip=\"9\">maximum<\/a>\u00a0disruption and argument<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So, it seems that recently there has been an influx of trolls stirring up hate on this blog. As narrow minded as obtuse as they are, really the problem is that they refuse to acknowledge any reply, and keep repeating the same thing over and over again.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Typically, I just let these things fly. They&#8217;re technically just stating an opinion, but the ban hammer is always and option. I&#8217;ve only banned 2 people from this blog ever though, so it&#8217;s not my natural first reaction.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So, what does everyone think? To ban those who are clearly just trolls or not?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><div id=\"polls-8\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_8\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/wordpress\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_8_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"d716386bf1\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"8\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Ban anyone who is clearly just a troll, or do they have a right to post?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-8-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-66\" name=\"poll_8\" value=\"66\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-66\">Just ban them<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-67\" name=\"poll_8\" value=\"67\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-67\">No. They have a right to express their opinion (even if they are dicks about it).<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-68\" name=\"poll_8\" value=\"68\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-68\">Don't know.<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(8);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#ViewPollResults\" onclick=\"poll_result(8); return false;\" title=\"View Results Of This Poll\">View Results<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-8-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And as addendum, where do you think the discussion for the site should be? Currently, everything is just discussed here, but there&#8217;s also a lot of sense in moving it over to the new lagoon forum. It means I wouldn&#8217;t have to moderate everything, and also might encourage more people to join any discussions. I would still post blog updates, and include the occasional poll, but at the end of every one, I&#8217;d post a link to the forum where people can talk about it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So, what do you think?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<div id=\"polls-9\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_9\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/wordpress\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_9_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"9b7d21ef07\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"9\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Where should we discuss things?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-9-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-69\" name=\"poll_9\" value=\"69\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-69\">On the blog (here)<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-70\" name=\"poll_9\" value=\"70\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-70\">I'd prefer discussions on the new lagoon forum<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-71\" name=\"poll_9\" value=\"71\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-71\">No strong preference.<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(9);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#ViewPollResults\" onclick=\"poll_result(9); return false;\" title=\"View Results Of This Poll\">View Results<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-9-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>That&#8217;s all for this week.
