OC body practice

Description

Sorry, I don't really consider this a deviation, but I still wanted to submit it. It's at least some painting, right?
Anyway, I decided I would start giving myself some more practice! For this one, I'll be (trying to) draw my original characters; the catch is I must draw them with their accurate body type. It's so easy to slip into one body type and draw that for all of your characters (and fact type!) Like for example this oc is half orc and half nord (from Skyrim). That for one already defines a few things. Right off the back her genetics say tall and beefy. Secondly she's a heavy weight. No no, not like she's a huge girl- it's that she's a tank. She's alway in heavy armor and holding a huge a** war hammer. She holds very defensive stances but also strikes violently. I knew she's had haft to have a weight lifter's body type. I used this image as a reference to that body type: [link] (for weight lifter)
She's got thick thighs capable of holding up all that armor and that hammer, a toned (almost muscular) core from turning her waist to swing that hammer, and defined shoulders from holding the hammer up so much. Her lower legs are not quite as defined- this was very hard for me. I almost always give my characters defined calves- this is very self-imprinting of me. I have fabulous calves and keep forgetting not everyone has defined legs. Instead this oc gets something I would really kill for- that core. However, she loses some of her curve because of that. Her breasts are reduced from fat burner pecs and her hips and almost squared off from all the muscle fillin in the midsection.

All in all I'm happy I did this. Though, sadly, I already see some things I messed up on. Yet another self-imprintment is that I gave her a short torso. I have an incredibly stupid short torso. I should have made that long so it didn't seem like she was all legs. I might fix that later. But the rest of her came out decently...I think. It was great muscle practice at least! With body shapes I/we have to remember there's so many types. And just because she's a muscular girl, doesn't mean her muscles are the same as a swimmer's or a runner's. She's got bulky, but still flat thighs and a thick but not buldgey stomach. I look forward to drawing my other oc's.

Other info:
-Between orc and nord, at age 15-17, I'm putting her at about 5'6/7. She might hit 5'10 once she's done maturing though.
-her lower larger canines are hidden in this portrait. She intentionally covers them to fit in more.
