I started a Tumblr recently, and by a bit of a fluke, one of the first blogs I started following was Escher Girls. Since doing so I've become hyper-conscious about oversexualizing female characters. (This shortly after a personal epiphany that drawing sexy women wasn't undermining the humanity of real women) This picture started out as an attempt to see if I drew Midnight as she would actually look as a strong, independent, antisocial, apathetic young woman, or as an idealized woman who is "Strong" and "Mysterious" because I find those qualities attractive. (I spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff. It's not a matter of being politically correct, I'm not just trying to be on the right side when the revolution comes or anything. I just really want to do the right thing, and that can be a hard line to walk when you're a virgin cartoonist)

Anyway, I think Midnight is alright, (her torso is a tad stretched here, but as far as I know, being a LONGCAT doesn't make someone more or less sexy) one thing I did early on was establish that she's a chain smoker, basically as insurance that I wouldn't subconsciously start making her sexier.
