Thought I'd post my lesbian fiddauthor again since it's been so long and I love them!
My intent was to give Fidds a "messy mom" vibe. tbh the hair is doing a lot of heavy lifting, although I wanted to make her hands look rough from all the manual labor but I found it looked too detailed for the artstyle. I think she would care a lot for societal expectations on women (specially from a religious point of view) and I tried to show that mainly by changing her clothes to more femenine ones, in contrast to Ford who still has the same outfit that's just scholarly and practical for her job. Most evident of all though is just the fact she moved away from the woman she loved to marry a man and have a child (I think of her as a closeted lesbian, cus I hc Fiddleford as a closeted gay man). I've also drawn Fidds with makeup before while I don't think Ford would go through that effort specially since she lives alone in the forest unlike fidds. Given all this I think it's a nice edge to her character the fact she chased engineering despite it not being "femenine", because it's her true passion and talent and one thing she could never give up.
Ford on the other hand I don't think would change too much. I gave her long hair cause canon Ford had one hairstyle since he was a child and never changed it, so I though it'd be cute if that's the case for her too.
I also made a sketch for female Stan :)
She did definitely change her hairstyle many times, just like canon Stan. I don't know if it's realistic but I thought it'd be really cool if she boxed as well. Honestly the fact these two remain "masculine" specially Stan, implies an interesting characterization for Filbrick now that I think of it
