Why is your Gortash so pudgy? I mean, I do love some meat on that man but it's so funny to me that this fandom collectively decided that no, the Bane-preferred-6%-body-fat-abs-rocking Gortash is not what we want, he needs love-handles.
And yes, this ask is inspired by that line about weight gain in latest chapter of 'Urge that Binds'.
All in all i think it's more in his character to have some meat to him (at least the way I write it, not saying other interpretations are bad or wrong)
My guy was poor as a child and starved until he escaped Hells - I like to think that when he could afford to, he'd put on some mass. Also, Lady Jannath describes his 'burly arms' and that line always made me think that it'd make sense for him that he'd be very muscular, but with a layer of fat over it.
Like he's not necessarily pudgy in mu mind? Just going for a more realistic, blacksmith type body type, if that makes sense. I like the idea that under his fancy robes he looks more like a working man than a politician or patriat.
And imo he'd consider weight gain a good thing, anyway; gone is the small, scrawny child that was so easily pulled and thrown around. Enver Gortash isn't moved so easily.
(Until pre-tadpol Strike rolls around with his STR22 and sweeps him off of his feet, that is)
... And another reason is that I just like to draw that body type since I first tried it
