Cute Monster Girl: Trope Talk

Has anyone ever seen a Dem Bones-type Cute Monster Girl? I'm really curious if that is a possible combination, because I sure can't imagine it without crossing into highly zombie-like appearance territory (i.e. a skeleton with flesh on the "important" parts, like the face, chest, etc.).

I've seen skeleton-based Cute Monster Girls, but none of those were actually even somewhat bony. That is, even less bony than your average supermodel.

And just to add, I really like the image on Cute Monster Girl.

You can have them showing bones in various places, but they will need skin on the head face, and likely hair too. And skeletal limbs/torso usually look wrong because you can tell they are lacking essentials. However you could have them wear slightly baggy clothing, or take some artistic license in making the bones thicker than real ones.

World Of Warcraft's female undead are not really cute, but they do have a sort of deathly elegance about them despite several prominent bones showing and the fingers looking like claws.

Aren't they more zombie-like?

Does it count if the "flesh" is actually made of magical energy? Because I just found a "Skeleton" monster-girl profile using that method.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

One example that does spring to mind is a girl from Inu × Boku SS. However, for people who're not me, she's not a cute girl and a skeleton at the same time and in either case doesn't qualify as the trope.

Say, how do you suggest can one differentiate between the two modern senses of "cowgirl" — that is, "a female cowboy" on the one hand, and "a bovine Cute Monster Girl" on the other hand? It's kinda irritating that trying to look for one would turn up results belonging to the other if I'm not using extra qualifiers like "western"/"wild west" and "monster", but still manageable. The bigger problem, however, is differentiating them in writing and speech; I don't like having to use extra qualifiers Every. Single. Time. I may have to refer to both of them in the same line of discussion.

Considering the terms normally used are the same, you're probably going to have to stick to using qualifiers. Maybe something like "female cowboy" and "cow monster girl" would work. Or I suppose were-cow, but that would perhaps bring up the wrong associations. That is, of course, when context isn't enough on its own to differentiate them.

Who is the character on Cute Monster Girl anyway? I've always wondered where she was from.

I think she's a figure in a drawing tutorial book of sorts. But no one really seems to know. She's cute, though. And I think the mystery adds to her allure.

I have a question about Cute Monster Girl, are the examples of cute monster boys ok or not?

Gender-Inverted Trope is a thing, so I'd say yes.

http://monstergirlencyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Skeleton I google monster girl skeleton and this is what i got.

... That wiki in general is NSFW.
