Just a question that's gonna bug me to distraction until I get it out, so.. here goes.
Why? Just that. Why is Fa'Lina so unusually.. 'gifted'.. particularly in the forward thoracic region? I'm not making value judgments or saying it's good or bad or anything, I'm just curious as to what inspired this bit of her character design? I can kinda-sorta see some things like, "Okay, I'll make the Semi-Phenomenal, Nearly-Cosmicly powered Headmistress a Poodle! They'll expect that like they expect the Spanish Inquisition. And she'll be Pink! Mwahahaha!" :mowhappy
But, it's implied that Fa'Lina was always intended to be inordinately buxom, just Amber's relative inexperience portraying said body-type may have prevented that from being more obvious at first. Still, why? What was the inspiration for going, "Alright, to this one I shall bequeath Huuuuuuuuge.. Tracts of Land." :mowdizzy
Why not?
Wow, a minute and sixteen seconds. Is that a new record for Amber?
Quote from: Amber Williams on April 24, 2010, 05:38:34 PM
Why not?
Umm, well.. y'see.. it's like.. *squirms uncomfortably*
Honestly? I rather like Fa'lina's figure. I like it very much actually. In other words I am myself quite fond of the Buxom is Better (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BuxomIsBetter) and related tropes. I am also laden with an uncomfortable degree of guilt over said fondness.
Not only is it shallow of me but I've been told repeatedly how uncomfortable, inconvenient, and even physically painful having large breasts is for women and how the kind of attention they attract is insulting to women at best and creepy at worst; as such all of the augmentations inspired and reductions discouraged by the idolizing of this trait represents a net drain on the overall quality of life of women that I am in some small part responsible for due to my aesthetic preferences.
In short, this is basically me crawling in and begging pitifully for validation. :cry
I'm such a schmuck.

Hmm , if having a crisis of conscience lets make it about boobs at least :D
Myself is more interested in larger amplitudes in lower anatomical regions, but the alphabetical progression does not leave me cool either.
It is the call of nature! Like being a cubi , really - Don't fight it, embrace it!
Her boobs are symbols of authority. They are authoritative boobs. Someone walks into a room and it's like, who is in charge here? Well the woman with the authority boobs naturally.

Don't feel bad simply because you like large... uhh... anteriors. If you can appreciate other aspects at the same time, especially psychological and mental aspects, then there should be no problem. The only problem people are those who succumb to their own physiological reactions to another's anatomy to the exclusion of
everything else about themselves and the target of their desire.
Short version: You shouldn't be worried because it seems like you don't see females as simply an attractive piece of meat.

This. I was trying to say something to this effect in a prototype post but it wasn't nearly as good as this comment.
And it's now coming from a woman so now you don't need to be worried. :U Just remember that my face is up here. It talks while these do not.
I think we've all learned a valuable lesson. GROUP HUG TIME!
Well, I do feel a little better now about being a boobaphile. :P And I must admit that, "Holy Crap, Boobs!" is but one delicious muffin on the "Holy Crap, She's Gorgeous! Holy Crap, she's Cunning! Holy Crap, she's 'D'aaaaaw'. Holy Crap, she's 'Aww, Woobie. Holy Crap, she's AWESOME!" Fa'Lina Combo-Plate.
And yay, HUGS! :hug
Some peeps like big boobs and they cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny. :U
But nah. Fa'Lina is a fictional character, she doesn't really need to worry as much about the laws of gravity and her spine is properly reinforced with magical plot-anium. I fully realize that in reality such a cleavage would be uncomfortable and downright unpleasant...and I would be a bit blah if people were wanting such ideals in real life.
But it's a fantasy comic about wiggidy waggidy critters and so having a character who's larger than life in more ways than one is a fun angle I like.
I dunno - i have seen people at least as equipped as her.

Are you sure? When I met you at AC last year I could have swore that's where the voice was coming from... Hugs? :>
She's allowed to have such cleavage because she's plenty old enough for them, and has the mature figure to support them... She appears middle-aged, and most mid- to large-framed middle-aged women I'm very familiar with (One in my immediate family, three in my extended, and about a dozen close family friends) have comparable bust sizes... I don't find Fa'lina as attractive as most people here because her frame's the same as my Mom's...
I have to say I admire Fa'Lina and her "assets"..... :mowwink
She's very curvaceous and buxom, not unlike myself; so seeing her be a very powerful individual (rather than just "eye candy", not that she's not a pleasant sight to see of course..... :3) is inspiring to me! :mowhappy

y'know, you could argue that all Cubi have naturally stronger back muscles and spine if you wanna go the more 'naturalist' pathway.. i mean, Furrae is your little ball o' rock, Earth's reality laws need not apply.. in other words:

I personally like a good rack myself, nothing wrong in that.
And I think that Fa'Lina is a fine example of form and figure.
As long as the rest of the body match well with the bust, it's all good.
Also, I hear that some artists thinks that boobs are fun to draw. :)

She's also a Cubi and can change their size if they ever start giveing her back problems. Which reminds, I read somewhere Dolly Parton has back problems due this.

But on the next page however.. Really imagining Fa'lina with a b-cup chest just doesn't fit in my mind. Perhaps Amber has corrupted the forum more than we are willing to admit, brainwashing us into her mindless slave army.
But I don't mind, as a generic guy I appreciate a full buxom. Don't you hate it when people say something that was said before but apply it to themselves? Well, I am actually a bit worse than that since like Les I do like 'larger' girls on women. Oh well, question has been answered, I'll give this topic a rest, seems like the intelligent thing to do.

Nothing wrong with loving the busty girls, just as long as you appreciate the girl for who she is and respect her feelings. Biggest thing about this is somehow that big boobs = automatic sore back or the stupid comment "I hope her spine is strong enough". Not every women will get a sore back from her breasts, even girls with small boobs have a sore back. Its all about posture, proper bra size (they say 70-80% of women wear the wrong bra size) and a bit of proper exercise. (When I like something, I tend to study it more)
Then there's the people at work that constantly comment about how they think D's are huge, like there's nothing bigger. Or if I show them someone like Cheron (who's a 32MM), and say that she needs a reduction or why doesn't she get a reduction because they're too big, and that comment will sometimes come from people who claim they like big boobs.
Oh, and one guy at work thinks anything over a D means she has implants. I made a comment about a J cup once, and he said to the effect "Oh, those must be like carrying two 5 gallon buckets on your chest." I was like O.o. Anyway, enough of my ranting.
... Given the two characters I think of when someone mentions large boobs, mebbe it's because she's pink?
Or at least Pink --> Barbie --> Unrealistic Proportions --> Large 'Wingspans'...

This is mostly true, but there's still no denying that they put additional strain on the body.
Offcourse, so does a beer belly, and lots of people have those as well.

Wait, unrealistic proportions? Fa'Lina? Well, granted, she is definatly on the farther side of the 'curvy vs. skinny' spectrum.. but unrealistic?
Oh well, maybe I'm just overly jaded. How jaded? The original image I cropped my avatar from would be able to explain.

32MM would be on the extreme end of healthy be them, implants or natural.... And I know a number of girls who are naturally endowed with 34g or 34H cups. At this range, custom bras are a must, and extra strength sports ones necessary from any high impact exercises. But proper exercise for large chest girls should be more like Yogi or Tia chi. Low impact and stretching exercises for strengthen the back and improve posture would be better than High=impact running.

Yeah, that's the type of exercise I'm talking about, low impact, no running. Obviously a girl with a bust like Cheron would be bouncing all over the place, even with a sports bra if she ran .
Offcourse, it isn't only her bust that has some size to it.
She probably does weigh quite a bit (http://vodpod.com/watch/2488528-gabriel-iglesias-best-of-gabriel-iglesias-the-sixth-level-of-fat-jokes-com), which would be hard on hips and lower back as well.
Oh well, if she's happy, I guess that's all there is to it. :)

Hey now, She's more of what we call. . . eccentric than insane. ;)
I remember a television interview with a cosmetic surgeon who stated that the operation that resulted in the greatest satisfaction was breast reduction while the one with the lowest satisfaction was breast enlargement. The reason being that woman seeking breast reduction knew exactly what they wanted to get rid of (snickering jokes, back pain, problems buying clothes, etc.) while the women seeking breast enlargement generally had unreasonable expectations of what they would obtain as a result of the procedure.
I have found the conversation on this topic surprisingly mature and the model of decorum compared to other topics that have appeared previously. A dozen puns are floating through my head, but I will hold off until I see a forum more appropriate for their plebian and juvenile humor.
Oh, now you're just tempting me, Naldru.
I couldn't resist.
Why is everything all. spooky?
*sniff* I'm scared Mao, Hold Meeeeee! :cry
Why is it spooky? Well now, my friend, it would have something to do with that unhealthy thinking of yours. What's that? No no, I'm not talking about your obsession with large mammaries. No. No I'm talking about the fact that you felt ashamed of your love for those things. That's batty. Amber said it in a roundabout way but very simply: "We all have things we like and find appealing."
If you're ashamed of that, you need to take a minute and consider a few things. 1) Are you catholic or any of the other strict religions out there? If yes, then you shouldn't be here at all, you're right where they say you need to be: Feeling guilty about yourself. 2) If you're not one of them, what has caused you to feel guilty about this? Is it because others have told you to? Well, who are they? It's your life, and your own pleasures. I trust you to try and find realistic outlets for them. 3) Is it just that you know that, in reality, these things can have serious ramifications? Well then my good friend, you're in luck! This is a comic. No spines were hurt in the making of these dirty pillows.
Actually, I ment the black and red color scheme, and the bats. :erk

It would stand to reason, in my not so humble opinion, that your ability to count should also therefore be questioned.
I'm amazed that people have never paid attention to the fact that there are skins other than the DMFA default. Weird.
Indeed. You'd almost think they only really check the Lost Lake Inn or something...
Can't imagine why, it's not like it's popular or anything.
It's not like there aren't 18 other forums and subforums outside the DMFA section. I mean, really now.
Yeah, there's even... dare I say it... OTHER COMICS WITH FORUMS HERE! :U
Stunning as that may be. I know, take a moment and adjust your entire world.
Seeing the crowd that doesn't wander beyond doesn't make me anxious to see them wander into other sections, let's keep them centralized. :)

This truly is tinfoil hat tearoom.
Anybody has a samovar?
On the actual thread topic: Has anyone yet mentioned the huge backwings? To me it would seem, like they are very much capable of balancing the whole frontal "overweight".
On the skins: I'd like to have a skin, that doesn't change for the whole forum xD (most of the available ones are either too dark or too bright for my taste oO) Is there a way to pick my own color-choices?
On Mao: Why is it, that your avatar seems to lack "normal" eyes?
And most importantly... why are there 4 new posts in here while I write just one?
I think I mentioned the idea of 'wings as counterweights' earlier in the thread, as an addendum to a comment about Creatures (including 'Cubi) having reinforced spines, those wings must have some substantial mass to them to.

Heck, I use the forum standard (ie, the SMF standard) because the admin functions all work properly in it, whereas some of them don't in some of the other skins.
But that's my personal choice. If it wasn't for the functionality, I'd go with the DMFA skin over most of the choices used, although I do sometimes like to see what other people feel is a good theme, I find that often I consider them unreadably difficult. Which may be a result of the screen resolution I work at. But I digress...

Because they're closed.
Theoretically would could probably skin a version of your Forum Standard if we wanted to.
Honestly? I kinda like the theme this place has by default. I can read it easily and find the color suiting. I wouldn't want it changed at all.
As for my character's eyes? As llearch said, they're closed. He doesn't need them to see.

Damaris and I come from forums where the default skins were white text on black with another accent color. Honestly, most of the time I forget there are skins here that AREN'T black and white.
Most of the stuff I work with on a regular basis is white on some dark color so I've become used to it. I always liked it more due to being a bit sensitive to light/bright things (do not let me out in the sun for more than an hour without sunglasses.. migraine time!)
White on black is okay. Some of this stuff is blue on black. Or cream on white. Or equivalently silly colours.
It's possible, as I said, that I'm looking at different thigns to you guys. Like, I use some of hte buttons that you don't, so I like to be able to see the blasted things. Or something like that...
All of the buttons I have show up just fine for me. :>
This may come as a disappointment, Mao, but I have a couple of extras... ;-]

Disappointment? That you have more janitorial duties than I do?

Dammit!
I'm actually in the process of beta testing a Cursed Prison V2 skin. You might enjoy using it, Mao.
Indeed I am enjoying it. I highly recommend it to others. :>
Yeah. For those of us from "darker" themed forums, it's a nice, very usable, skin.

Hey, Anker? .... just no. That broken link (thankfully broken) and the other one? Kinda pushing it. Bare minimum mark that kinda stuff as NSFW.
First one wasn't even supposed to be a link .. not sure what I did there.
And the second isn't NSFW, it's from a comedy show!
Sadly, some work places might disagree. Someone suckling at another's teat, particularly a full grown man? Sorry but even if it's his mom and nothing is shown, I could be fired over that.

Allright, I've updated the post so it's now appropiate for the US of A too ... dang, you guys are seriously repressed over there.
1) I'm Canadian. 2) I personally don't mind that stuff. It's the whole.. the company owner and CEO is a hardcore roman catholic who has very strict morals and is very worried about sexual harassment lawsuits. Anything that could make a woman feel uncomfortable and have possible sexual connotations tends to have him fire on the spot, no questions asked. If it's text, it's one thing as it's not readily visible and actually requires them to come up close and see it. Video is a bit more visible. Plus, despite being a bit more along the lines of PG-13.. this forum is still PG/PG-13.. do try to not scar folks.
Also: A simple (NSFW) tag would have sufficed.
Actually, we don't allow those kinds of links in the DMFA forum, since it is PG/PG13 (even with a NSFW tag). :) But, you're still learning the ropes. :)
Ah, must've missed the rule on that. Thanks. :> Should I go edit the link out then, just to be sure?

United States; the only developed country that I know of where gratuitous violence is OK for television, but being underdressed is not. (The entire SAW movie series is fine, but a little accidental boobage causes national hysteria) :erk
While I probably don't mind seeing the stuff if I know what's about to be seen, it can really freak me out if I'm not anticipating it. When I was recently looking for information about meningitis on Wikipedia they had a picture of an open skull right at the top... totally caught me off guard (for anyone interested, it's on the German wikipedia site; the English one has a baby with gangrenous arms...)
And if "nudity" is not that common in American TV why is there so much of it in the movies? Compared to German movies it seems to me, there is much more of it, but I have no statistical data on it, just my personal impression :)

I'm sorry, it's just that I find it so absurd that sex is being criminalized in the media.
It's one of the most important things we can do with our lives, and then we turn around and tell our children "oh no, you shouldn't do that, it's bad" ?
Heck, white people have gotten so good at supressing it in the western world that they now have less than the required 2.5 children (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_territories_by_fertility_rate) it takes to have growth.
That means that we are dying out ... and for what ? Why don't we have more children when we have all the best medical care and riches ?
Could it be because everyone is telling "ooo .. sex is BAD!" ?
Could it be because when nature tries to make us have children at the late teenage years, we fight it with all our might ?
It's absurd - grotesque even - to have the richest societies on earth slowly dying out because we are afraid of sex.

Low fertility rates correlate more closely with prolonged education than anything else.

I'm going to go ahead and disagree on the 'most' important thing we can do with our lives and that we tell our children that it's bad. In fact, when the heck did 'the children' even enter into this discussion. This forum isn't your soapbox, Anker and this post is starting to near flamebait levels.

White people? I hate to break it to you, but some of those nations that are listed as having the low birthrates...aren't all white. Again, hitting the flamebait levels there, Anker. Also: Western world? I'm looking at that map you have there and.. uh.. the western world is actually (with the exception of Canada) well within the 2-3 range.

Actually, it doesn't. As long as a nation is above 2, it's not dying out at all. Stagnating, maybe, but not dying out. That said, so far you've failed to address the issue of resources and over-population among others. Sometimes, a stagnant or lower birthrate is actually a good thing.

Could also be because of the two things I just mentioned. Just saying. You're kinda over simplifying the whole issue and making it sound like some 'big bad' is out to kill us all by censoring us. Except, that people are still free to do whatever they choose. 'The Media' as you call it, can tell you what they think all they like, but the onus is on the listener to decide.

TL;DR: Nice soapbox rant, but it's got more missing facts (you've got one, count them, ONE source.. and it doesn't defend your argument at all), screams of flamebait for reasons already mentioned and frankly? It reads more like a F.U.D. propaganda speech against 'the media' (which you never actually define, technically this forum can be considered media). It's so full of sweeping generalizations and arm flailing that I'm not sure if you're serious or trying to start a flame war.

Just look at the middle east, where some of the most reactionary attitudes towards sex exist on the planet, yet the fertility rate is astonishingly high........
Countries with high reproduction rates, such as India and countries with reactionary attitudes toward sex, such as Iran happen to be both in Middle East, but those are different countries. VERY different.
Reproduction rate and education has some relationship, and we want higher quality vs quantity. The reasons for many children is more labor for more resources/money. But this is a myth, more children need more resources, and money. Few children need fewer resources or they can have more resource to improve their chances for a better life.
And the other end ..less children
Or they can become spoiled, and work less and expect more. They lose the meaning of work and become less educted Ancient Roman fell prey to this. The Senate would give the people free Bread and entertainment in the Collosium to keep the people "happy". So much so, that people felt that their right to the food and entertainment just for being Roman. Many people now feel that it is too expensive to have children.

I wasn't really considering India as part of the middle east.
I was thinking more
Saudi Arabia with 3.83 children to woman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Saudi_Arabia#Total_fertility_rate)
Syria 3.12 children to a woman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Syria#Total_fertility_rate)
and Libya 3.71 children to a woman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Libya#Total_fertility_rate)
To name a few, as countries that struck me, at least, of being very reactionary towards sex, far more so than pretty much anything you'd see anywhere in "The Western World" (which I'm loosely envisioning as Europe and areas of a predominantly UK cultural influence, Canada, U.S., Australia, New Zealand, etc.
And as for my analysis of higher education--> fewer children, I don't think the relationship is between resources consumed and generated. It's more along the lines that, if you're in some sort of education until you're in your late twenties, you're probably going to be hugely in debt to pay for said schooling, and will need to focus on a career to stay afloat from an individual economic standpoint. People who spend 16 hours a day in an office, week in and week out, rarely have the time or energy to go out and start families.
There's also a correlation between educational availability in a country and the quality of medicinal care in said country. (This one shouldn't be too hard to grasp). If you want to look at it coldly, if you're in a stone age situation, infant mortality alone is likely to kill half of your offspring alone. If you want to have 2 kids to survive into adulthood, you need to have a lot of babies, to ensure that some of them make it.
Countries with weak medicine (which tend to have little advanced education, and tend therefore to be poor) will have a mentality of having lots and lots of kids, because of the above mentioned pressures which simply don't exist in most in an industrialized state. I live in the U.S. If I have two kids, the odds are very, very good that both of them will survive to be 18. Therefore, if you just want to maintain the population (and let's assume, for the sake of the argument, that cultural attitudes will prevail upon families so that they'll have roughly enough kids to keep the population where it is running into the next generation) you need to have fewer kids, probably around 2 per couple, plus a little fraction to account for accidental deaths.
However, there's going to be a window in any region that's going through a medical revolution, where cultural attitudes towards reproduction haven't yet caught up to the medical realities on the ground. I don't have the statistics in front of me (I could look them up, but this post is already too long and too detailed) but I seem to remember from my history classes the *huge* population spikes that were going on all over Europe during the beginning of the industrial era, during which, I don't think coincidentally, medicine was advancing quite rapidly. It was still primitive compared to what we have today, but it was vastly better than what you see in the renaissance era.

That seems rather unlikely. I just don't see major outbreaks of celibacy. I
do, however, see extensive use of birth control.
At this particular point in time, I think we could do with some population shrinkage. When the population of cities goes back to being measured in thousands, rather than millions, we can seek to avoid shrinkage. (It's been said that growth for the sake of growth is the philosophy of a cancer cell.)
I'm probably gonna be skewered for this position but anyways.
I believe that organized religion and skewed morals are what have given many (not most or all) their contradictory views on sex. I am not mentioning any names but a religion that is against the pill and stuff like that can make sense, but to be against condoms too? Just weird.
That said I believe that sex was designed be God to be between one man and one woman for life and to be used for the purpose of reproduction, recreation, and (sometimes) reconciliation.
If you disagree that's great because this is only my opinion, and I don't say that to be cocky or anything. I just realize that my opinion is a smaller minority than most of yours.
Also as a side note (and to answer possible oncoming replies) I am not a gay basher or anything like that. Just because I disagree with the way they live their lifestyle does not give me or anyone else any authority to force them to live according to a certain set of morals. Because we all are responsible for our own choices not other's.
If they skewer you for that, they'll have to skewer me too (and in this place, that's not such a good idea). I don't agree with some of the views you hold, but you've not flamed or said anything offensive and have been polite. Just keep that calm, polite composure and you'll survive this little personal hell that I've been given the reigns of with nary a scratch and your sanity intact.

So, Sexual ritual are meant to keep people responsible for their actions. They are there protect the family, the best unit to raise the young into productive members of society. To respect each other, and ourselves, so we don't fell victim to our or someone else's impulses and lusts.
Once people start losing thier sense of responsibility and their actions don't have any effect on how their are treated. It is the begin of the end of civilization.

I have read some studies on child raising across cultures, and my own life experience... The conclusions, they reach is that a child of both sexes have a better chance of understanding their selves and the world with both sexes around. With daily examples from both male and female role-models in their lives, they grow up more rounded and have better self-esteem. Even in cultures where the Father doesn't stay with the mothers, the uncle or brother of the mother is there to help educated the child.
For my own experience, I have seen too many single mothers work too hard to raise kids and bring enough money home for food on the table. With little hope of giving their children even a good life.
Quality daycare is in short supply and never enough at any price.
It takes a village to raise a child, single parents rarely have just another person to help, let alone a village.

I've noticed a correlation between a person's criticism of "sexually-repressed" societies and the individual's ability to get laid... so, either they don't have enough experience in sexual matters to understand why society suppresses sexual expression, or... they are deluded into thinking they would get laid in a sexually open society...

Looks like someone's is trying to start an argument.:poke
An old comedy, when I was a kitten, had the Vice Pres of US and the actress arguing over what makes a family on the national stage. I find it Ironic, that Murphy Brown, the character, turned out to be a terrible mother as her show went on, and her handy man/friend was always stuck raising her child, which made Mr Quayle's point about single mothers, but dont look to the media to correct itself. This isn't to say I don't believe that Mr Quayle with a "E" is not an Idiot.
But I like the village idea, that all the adults are raising and looking out for every child in the community. This was common before the '60s. Too bad, many adults don't look out for their own kids, let a lone others' kids, when they are doing wrong. Most adults are afraid of law-sues or becoming targets to stop a bunch of kids from messing up or messing around. Which is why we have gangs.

Forty years of trying to out do each other has led to near war status in most cities in the US. And a civil war in Mexico.
I'm surprised that the Jihadist haven't started forming gangs in the US. Maybe too much trouble. I question terrorist methods, they could hurt us more by attacking the power grid, or the water supply...a railway system. No, they have to go with the planes and car bombs, which we continue to upgrade the security for these. And they continue to go after them. At least they are learning to train lone wolves, now, who are harder to spot then groups. They just need a little more training in bomb making, And in not talking to police. :mowdizzy

How is that mature content? It is a Wolf Anthro with boobs big enough to hold Jyrus while he is in the fetal position (sp? Seriously, it has been a while since that mouse showed up). She is even fully clothed. :/
I fail to see what that link has to do with Fa'lina, or the comic, even in the most far out of senses.

What are you talking about? This is on topic.
I guess he referred to the link in his post.
Which leads to a picture you cannot see if you are not a member.
Edit :
As a sidenote - Maybe Fa'Linas assets aren't exactly what we think (http://omaketheater.com/comic/3/) they are ?
After all, it's a world full of magic ... maybe the wizard did it ?
Only submissions rated as mature or adult are blocked to non-members, edited so that it would be general.

Well, it was matured because I wasn't sure if I should or not, because of her large breasts. Considering that she is fully clothed, there's really no reason to have it mature.

It doesn't generally have any relation to Fa'Lina other than this whole thread being mainly on the topic of large breasts when it got derailed by a political discussion.
Correction: Fa'lina's large breasts. Keep some semblance of being on topic or this thread is going to go the extra mile to the abandoned mine.

Really
Fa'lina has said most of what needs to be said about her assets to Abel.
A "B" cup? (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_025.php)
That they are natural, and a part of her character. We can't think of her with a b or C cup like here (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_424.php)
PBH
To be fair, on Fa'Lina, given her physical frame size, a B cup is going to be fairly large. Much larger than someone of Jy's size, for example.

I agree ... also, there's things such as Gravity and body type, that can change the looks of things a lot.
Even then, there's a difference on how much such things affect a womans assets in the
comic (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_024.php) versus
Real Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4u0k06AARM).
(maybe slightly NSFW I guess)
Please, Cup size B on a 42" chest may have the same volume as a E cup on 34" chest, but Fa'lina or another tall women with that much cleavage would be DD about 5" or more radius to the upper chest. That same volume may be as high as size H on the smaller women.
Note: I don't know Fa'lina true measurement,

Just a question that's gonna bug me to distraction until I get it out, so.. here goes.
Why? Just that. Why is Fa'Lina so unusually.. 'gifted'.. particularly in the forward thoracic region? I'm not making value judgments or saying it's good or bad or anything, I'm just curious as to what inspired this bit of her character design? I can kinda-sorta see some things like, "Okay, I'll make the Semi-Phenomenal, Nearly-Cosmicly powered Headmistress a Poodle! They'll expect that like they expect the Spanish Inquisition. And she'll be Pink! Mwahahaha!" :mowhappy
But, it's implied that Fa'Lina was always intended to be inordinately buxom, just Amber's relative inexperience portraying said body-type may have prevented that from being more obvious at first. Still, why? What was the inspiration for going, "Alright, to this one I shall bequeath Huuuuuuuuge.. Tracts of Land." :mowdizzy
*ahem*
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!
</"other webcomic ref>
That is all....
It's a reference to Monty Python... no other "reference" is necessary.
its also a mel brooks reffrence
*coughs* You realize this thread was almost a month dead at this point, right?
