Not a big deal, but humanized Flippy is almost always a teenage {{Bishonen}}, undoubtedly due to being a DracoInLeatherPants. Being that Flippy was a war veteran, he should theoretically be ''much'' older than how he's often drawn. And then there's Flaky, who despite her well-known [[AmbiguousGender androgyny]] tends to get a GirlinessUpgrade thrown on her like a ton of bricks, as well as her dandruff getting drawn like red-and-white hair.

* Although he isn't a tremendously popular character, Reek [[spoiler:aka Theon Greyjoy]] from ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' often gets this treatment in fanart. While in canon he is described as white-haired, emaciated, looks about 20 years older than he is, and just generally pitiful to look at, fanart tends to tone this down (most usually the premature aging). This tends not to be as extreme as other examples, though, as his pitiful condition seems to be the source of his fans.

* Warforged from the ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'' setting of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' ordinarily avert NonMammalMammaries. The (unfortunately defunct) Website/DeviantArt member Maelora didn't like this and chose to draw a "nude" female Warforged with breasts purely for RuleOfSexy.

to:

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':
** A lot of the more canonically monstrous and 'ugly' races and monsters will often find themselves being depicted as far more physically attractive in fan created art, particularly for character art or deliberate NSFW content. SexyDimorphism is ''very'' common, with the feminine members of the race redesigned to look much more human while the masculine ones usually retain their monstrous appearances, either because the artists aren't interested in men or the monstrous looks are part of their specific appeal.
** Somewhat relatedly, but a similar trend happens with the 'shorter' character races, particularly gnomes and halflings. In canon art, Gnomes and Halflings often look almost like children or super-deformed humanoids, and are meant to be shorter than three feet. In fan art, Gnomes and Halfing women (and it is largely the women) are usually drawn with much more human adult looking proportions, just a ''short'' one (and rarely as short as the race is supposed to be; oftentimes they instead appear to be within the shorter end of normal human standards, looking around four feet at shortest), with their shortness being used to emphasise their backside and boobs[[note]]this also often applies to Dwarven women too, but canonically dwarven women ''are'' usually well-endowed short women in canon as well[[/note]]. Goblin women tend to combine this with the above, turning what's supposed to be a vicious and threatening-if small and unimposing creature-into something that more resembles a CuteMonsterGirl that's a bit on the short side.

* A big point of appeal for the character of the Doctor in ''Series/DoctorWho'' is that, while all of the actors to have played [[SexShifter them]] so far are rather attractive, it's usually expressed through force of personality rather than looks, with even the most conventionally handsome, MrFanservice ones like Creator/PaulMcGann or Creator/DavidTennant being a bit funny-looking rather than generic {{hunk}}s or {{pretty boy}}s. This is difficult to tell in fanart, however - it's not uncommon to see some shipper drawing Fourth Doctor/Sarah Jane fanart which does away with Creator/TomBaker's QuirkyCurls, big and oddly-shaped nose, and CreepyBlueEyes, even though they are the most fondly appreciated physical features of the character. On the other hand, a lot of other artists exaggerate the physical quirks of the Doctors, though these ones are usually not doing it for shippy reasons.

** The boys get a fair bit. Tord gets hit with this the most, especially after the SeriesFauxnale revealed what he looks like in uniform, which resulted in a lot of fans giving his "Red Leader" persona the EvilIsSexy treatment, complete with an eyepatch and a long flowing coat. This became HilariousInHindsight when former showrunner Tom Ridgewell revealed what Tord's Red Leader persona ''actually'' looked like...and he has his entire body covered up and his face hidden by a mask.

* The Notepad and Tony the Talking Clock of the ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' series have popular personifications that are a strange mix between Creator/TimBurton and EvilIsSexy. The Notepad becomes a beautiful lass with pure white skin and multi-colored hair while Tony becomes a blue-skinned PrettyBoy with a scruffy beard and a blade. They also seem to flanderize their sinister undertones into full-blown [[AxeCrazy Axe Craziness]], which allows for a MasochismTango when paired with one-another in this form.

* Pomni from ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus'' has rather thin limbs and a small bust. Naturally, she tends to be drawn a lot more curvaceously in fanart than she actually is.

* This tends to be prevalent in the fandoms of [[TheFaceless faceless content creators]] (e.g. LetsPlay/{{Dream}}, LetsPlay/{{Technoblade}}, and Creator/CorpseHusband), with fans taking their avatars and what little they've shared of their personal appearances and drawing them as [[{{Bishonen}} thin pretty boys]] (or occasionally in Technoblade's case, muscle-bound hunks).

* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'': Most of the Peanuts gang are kids ranging from ages 6-10, but they often are aged-up in fanart. Charlie Brown will often be depicted with a head full of blonde hair (to be fair, he isn't really bald, it's just the art style). Schrodeder will often be drawn as a pretty boy {{Bishonen}}. Peppermint Patty seems to be hit with this the most, considering her Tomboyish and rather andronymous nature, so she will either be given more bust and hips or {{Bifauxnen}} and often shipped with Marcie. Some examples -- [[http://ctw36.deviantart.com/art/Play-it-again-Schroeder-90276883 this picture of Lucy and Schroeder]], [[http://gugi40.deviantart.com/art/Linus-74902185 this Linus]], and [[http://blackjack-davie.deviantart.com/art/Peppermint-Patty-puberty-137735565 this Peppermint Patty]].
