Carmen Sketch (Patreon)

 Quick colored sketch. Wanted to try drawing Carmen again. She's 5'10", 220 lbs. (I think that weight sounds right?)

Lilly's childhood friend, and bodybuilding mentor, Carmen's a personal trainer/owner at the gym Lilly trains at. Unlike Lilly, who never competes, Carmen is a champion pro bodybuilder and fitness influencer. Her chest is natural, and is the reason she got into weightlifting. Rather than get reduction surgery for her massive, oversized chest, Carmen tried strengthening her back and lowering her bodyfat as a teen. They're still way too big even when she has an 8-pack, but she's at least a little more balanced as a heavyweight bodybuilder. Her physique is not natural, however. Carmen has good genetics for bodybuilding, but in the real-life sense of "She responds well to less steroids, doesn't need to stay drugs on non-stop, and doesn't have much in the way of outward-showing side effects." Health-wise, her blood work isn't too different from someone that drinks regularly, her strength and endurance are beyond what people can achieve through training, and she's outstandingly flexible. Her voice has it's fair share of bass, but she started out with such a grating, high-pitched voice that it sounds more like a mature woman than the typical "teenage boy/heavy smoker" voice.

If you guys can't tell, I was having a hard time actually trying to draw her properly before, hence why I kept avoiding her. I think she looks good here though. A balanced, muscular body with a clear female silhouette, and I finally sorted out her face and hair to something reasonable. Last time I drew her, I had her at like 350 lbs, but that was waaaay too big for what I wanted design-wise. She's supposed to have a body people can be jealous of, not a frightening hulk physique.
