Self Fanservice / Western Animation

---

A-L

• Adventure Time:
  • Fans who redo the characters in a more realistic style have a habit of drawing Finn as a slim, cute boy with Eternally Pearly-White Teeth, flowing blond hair, and maybe a gap between two teeth or a missing one. In the show, Finn is missing a good portion of his teeth, according to Word of God genuinely has no nose, and is on the pudgy side rather than wiry or ripped. His hair really is that gorgeous, though. That said, his adult years do show he's rather attractive as a grown-up and he's a Chick Magnet in the series so make of that what you will.
  • The girls get this treatment too, for example artists will turn Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, and Flame Princess into Ms. Fanservices. Heck, even Lumpy Space Princess (who on-screen is a floating Blob Monster whose only human features are her face and hands) is depicted as a Big Beautiful Woman.
• Amphibia: Mrs. Boonchuy is frequently drawn as a rather curvy 'M.I.L.F' type woman in fan art, where she's not really shown to be attractive or anything specific in the show itself even with the show's art style in mind.
  • After the finale, all three of the Calamity Girls as adults tend to be drawn in outfits that play up their features.
• Animaniacs is an unusual and recent example; late in the 2010s and into the early 2020s, artwork began to surface of an attractive, human version of Slappy Squirrel, depicting her as a Silver Fox. There's even one where the original Slappy looks enviously at her human counterpart◊ (slight NSFW).
• Atomic Puppet: Despite being a 12-year-old girl, Pauline gets a lot of fanart depicting her as being extremely sexy, wearing revealing clothes or having enlarged breasts or hips.
• Ben 10: To say Gwen Tennyson is "popular" with shippers and H-artists would be a vast understatement. Problem is, she's a pre-teen. So shippers and fan artists especially resolve the issue by aging her up, so she physically looks age appropriate for dating and having sex.
• Bluey: Given the simplistic art style, it's no surprise that all of the adults would be hit with this as soon as fan artists got a hold of them. This rings especially true for Bandit and Chilli.
• Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers: Gadget Hackwrench, hoo boy. Canonically she's already considered quite attractive by pretty much the entire fandom, but her proportions are a little skinny, with short rodent legs and a low crotch similar to Chip or Dale. The vast majority of fan artists, however, humanize those proportions to the point that most of it looks like a completely human body (often far more voluptuous than canon) with Gadget's head stuck on the top and a tail (though, to be fair, her proportions did fluctuate from episode to episode). Her human resemblance, especially compared to the rest of the (mostly male) cast, has also made her one of the most popular furry targets of Rule 34 art since the early days of the Furry Fandom.
• The Hormone Monstress accounts for the vast majority of all Big Mouth fan art, with many of her depictions dropping the show's infamous art style completely and making her significantly more seductive. Considering that she's both Popular with Furries and exceptionally curvy, she fits right into a very popular niche.
• Happens quite a lot with Codename: Kids Next Door fan-art, which is inevitable considering 90% of the cast is under 13 and the art style isn't exactly sexy. But that still doesn't explain drawing Numbuhs 3 and 5 with large breasts. What fangirls do to Numbuh 2 (and to a lesser extent the other boys) must be seen to be believed. Thankfully, this tends to age everyone up into at least teens. On the topic of teens, while Cree Lincoln is already considered to be a case of sexy in-universe, fanart takes this much further, depicting her as being much curvier than she is in canon.
• A lot of fan art of the Courage the Cowardly Dog character Shirley the Medium makes her taller and more curvaceous, when her canon depiction is very short and not even remotely voluptuous.
• Dan Vs.: Though Dan has a tendency to be portrayed as a generic pretty-boy in some fan works, this actually tends to be subverted more of the time: most fangirls like him just the way he is.
• Due perhaps to heavy abuse of Thick-Line Animation, Danny Phantom has enourmous amounts of this, mostly directed towards the female characters such as Maddie, Danny's mother.
• Dexter's Laboratory:
  • Dexter and Mandark get a ton of this (despite being weird-looking in canon) in the fandom. Expect Dexter to become a cute shota and Mandark the definiton of Nerds Are Sexy. FusionFall and its older and Bishōnen Dexter didn't help.
  • Dee-Dee is drawn by the fans to look like her mother.
• Heck, there's even Dora the Explorer. Especially in those shorts...
• Venger from Dungeons & Dragons (1983) is sometimes illustrated by fans as a beautiful slab of beefcake with long flowing hair under his cowl.
• Ed, Edd n Eddy, of all things:
  • Generic Cuteness struck the titular trio hard, but especially Double-D. Eddy loses his tan and loses weight. Edd is usually rather androgynous, cutesy, and often has long black hair, medium length black hair, or medium length blond hair. Ed grows short hair (instead of a buzzcut) and looks adorable.
  • Miimochi has what could be considered some of the best example(s) of EE&E Self Fanservice. (Though all the characters' tongues are the same unusual colors as in the show...)
  • The Kanker Sisters also get a lot of this (more than any other girls in the show), especially Marie, who's arguably the most attractive of them to start with (she's got bad teeth and either black eyes or way too much eyeshadow... but other than that she's not drawn terribly differently from Nazz, who's considered in-show to be quite the hottie).
• A lot of Family Guy fanartists do this to Meg Griffin, with some depicting her as looking like her "Road to the Multiverse" Alternate Self. However, this is sometimes a reaction to how she's depicted and treated in the show, rather than simply this trope.
• The Fairly OddParents!:
  • In fanworks, Tootie gets a lot of these. It's worth noticing that a majority of these do not involve The Glasses Gotta Go, as the fans seem to think she looks cute enough with them. She often gets better-looking glasses, though.
  • Tootie's older sister Vicky is often given a more curvaceous figure and skimpier clothing. Naturally, this often overlaps with Draco in Leather Pants.
  • Cosmo and Wanda are short as Timmy, but some fanworks feature them being tall as regular adults with attractive features.
  • Timmy art features him much taller and looking Pretty Boy, with some even removing his trademark buckteeth.
  • Anti-Cosmo gets hit hard with villainous sex-appeal. However, Anti-Wanda generally does not.
• Miko Kubota from Glitch Techs has significant Hartman Hips but is in an almost-chibi art style that makes her look younger than 16. Not so in fan art, which usually makes her look much more realistic and mature.
• Peg Pete is a beautiful mom in Goof Troop canon, but in the fanart world she has become a sexy goddess.
• Gravity Falls:
  • The Pines twins are often given older or more enhanced designs in fan art. In fact, one popular AU has the twins, who in this AU are hot and evil, explicitly be referred to as as the most beautiful/handsome youngsters in Gravity Falls.
  • Pacifica Northwest sometimes gets a similar treatment to the Pines twins, often becoming Ms. Fanservice in the process.
  • Both of these are very prevalent in a common fan AU where all the teens and preteens are age-swapped. Most notably, pre-teen Wendy is always trying to get the attention of handsome teen Dipper, who's dating beautiful teen Pacifica.
  • Speaking of Wendy, she is often drawn brawnier ( and bustier) than canon due to her lumberjack heritage.
  • Bill Cipher gets a lot of fan art of him as a rather attractive male human instead of his usual triangle form. This trope is so prolific with Bill, in fact, that Alex Hirsch would often joke about it. At one point, he drew his own take of what a human-like Bill would look like, which he then declared canon (albeit in a tongue-in-cheek manner). The end result◊ is both mildly disturbing and absolutely hilarious. Canon!Bill seems to like it, too!
  • Grunkle Stan gets tons of this, to the point that some fans refer to him as Hunkle Stan.
  • Pyronica, while having a noticeable hourglass figure, is a cyclops looking demon with some really messed up teeth. Fanart tends to exaggerate her figure and fix her teeth.
  • Finding fanart of .GIFfany where she still resembles a 16-bit sprite is somewhat difficult, which is noteworthy considering that she looks like that within the show to highlight that she exists within a video game. Fans might downplay her deliberate uncanny factor and up her figure, at most adding some kind of "digital effect" to still give off the feeling that she's virtual. This is not even getting in to the occasional fanart Panty Shots, of which she has none in canon for obvious reasons, but are thrown in to play with the idea that her Dating Sim might have a H-mode.
  • Even fanart that isn't intended to be sexy often downplays the older male characters' Gag Noses to more realistic (and consequently, better-looking) proportions.
• The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy:
  • Mandy receives a lot of fanart of her as an extremely sexy and busty adult for a 10 (?)-year-old Creepy Child.
  • You'd be surprised at the amount of fanart Billy gets that seriously downplays or even outright removes his Gag Nose. This is especially common when he's aged up. Expect his Black Bead Eyes to be changed to something more conventionally attractive as well.
• Hey Arnold!:
  • The Ugly Cute Helga Pataki is often drawn as being a few years older and completely gorgeous. Her Big Ol' Unibrow will often be replaced with regular brows, her hair will be down, she'll have prominent eyelashes and she will have grown in certain areas. To be fair, though, Helga has shown on occasion that She Cleans Up Nicely, but she'll usually be far more beautiful in fan art than she ever was in canon. She's still underage canonically, though.
  • Arnold will likewise be taller, his hair will be styled differently (usually slicked back) and he will wear more appropriate clothing.
  • Here's an example◊ (though Arnold has his normal hair in that photo).
• Hilda: The title character's mother Johanna has a rather large male fanbase, and it's quite common for artists to draw her with a much more curvaceous figure, often exaggerating the size of her bust, hips, and/or butt. Resident witch and librarian Kaisa also gets this treatment.
• Fanart of Invader Zim as a Green Skinned Space Stud, and him being tall on top of that.
  • Did you know female Irkens are not actually supposed to have boobs? No, really, go check the show. See how flat Tak's chest is? Yeah, it's quite different than the fanart, isn't it?
  • Canon Dib is a scrawny little 11-year-old boy with glasses and a big head. Fanon depictions add 5-7 years to his age and make him Tall, Dark, and Handsome instead while still retaining his trademark Anime Hair.
  • Like her brother, 10-year-old Gaz in fanart is aged up and given all the beauty that comes with it.
  • Not even GIR is safe. Depictions of this kind make him into an adorable white-haired or green-haired cute boy wearing his dog suit like a hoodie.
• Jimmy Two-Shoes:
  • Heloise, big time. In the show, she looks like a little girl (Word of God says she's 14ish). In fanart, she's often given a very busty and very sexy figure.
  • Saffi even more so. While she is a indeed Cute Monster Girl with noticeable Hartman Hips, fans seem to forget she's also a crazy one-eyed demon with jagged teeth capable of chewing through rock, instead preferring to exaggerate her figure and give her extremely skimpy clothes.
• In Kim Possible fanfics, Ron, who is honestly pretty goofy looking, is usually amped up considerably in the looks department... to the point that some authors both hang a lampshade on it and apologize to the reader.
• The Legend of Korra has both played this straight and inverted it based on the situation/character.
  • Played Straight: During the Summer of 2015 when the comic was first announced, the normally lithe and willowy Asami Sato became "MuscleSami", a giant female bodybuilder in her bikini from "The Aftermath" large enough to carry a bodybuilder-style Korra in her arms like a baby.
  • Inverted: The canonically 5'8 busty Korra is portrayed as flatter and shorter to contrast Asami in a Butch/Femme dynamic. This was happening even before Korrasami was made canon, so it's only been dialed up since then.
  • Jinora is canonically only 14 by the series' finale and the official graphic novels. So, in fan art, she's almost always drawn to look closer to Korra and Opal's age (usually around 16-17 in appearance) with a mid-late adolescent figure to match.
• The Loud House has tons of these, usually from female characters. As the art style of The Loud House isn't the most sexy to plenty of artists and fans, the changes in fanart usually have the purpose of correcting this (including aging up the characters to adult age, since most are teenagers and children in canon).
  • The most common targets early in the main series' airing were the older Loud sisters (Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn). Lucy was also a frequent subject, probably because she's a Goth. The rest of the sisters (Lana, Lola, Lisa, Lily) got their handfuls of self-fanservice too, but not as much as the other sisters (or plenty of characters outside the Loud family, for that matter).
  • And that's not even getting into Lincoln himself, who's often made more fit and attractive-looking by fans in conjunction with his frequent portrayal as The Casanova or a Chick Magnet when he gets older. It's rare for other male characters to be given the same treatment as him.
  • Since her only brief appearance in the episode "One of the Boys", Lincoln's genderbent counterpart Linka has received her fair share as well.

M-Z

• Metalocalypse:
  • One minor, self-conscious use of this trope in the fandom involves giving Murderface a more flattering haircut than the triangular 'do he has in the show.
  • Nathan also tends to lose his slight paunch and gets a six-pack instead.
• Believe it or not, this actually gets applied to Mickey Mouse. Yes, that Mickey Mouse. He's drawn by fanartists as a slim, tall, sexy Bishōnen. One artist in particular is popular for drawing more humanoid and attractive AUs of Mickey, Minnie, and Oswald.
• Miraculous Ladybug: Numerous Fan Art of Cat Noir frequently depict him as much more muscular than in the show itself, and though Ladybug's skin-tight suit is, well, skin-tight, some artists make her bustier and curvier than she actually is. The same applies for the other heroines and a number of akumatized victims.
• My Adventures with Superman re-designed leading lady, Lois Lane, as an athletic shorthaired tanned tomboy in yoga pants. The fans immediately took to the internet, causing a spontaneous surge of H-art exaggerating her new figure to varying degrees of athleticism and thiccness. Many have even admitted that her new look is what prompted them even check out the series at all. Hilariously acknowledged by the "Think of the Lewds, Clark" fan clip.
• Jenny Wakeman aka XJ9 from My Life as a Teenage Robot is quite adorable, but fans seem to like to draw her as sexy. Expect to see her with a large robotic bust and skin that looks too soft and plump to be metal and wearing skimpy clothing a lot in fanart. Her face will also be designed to look more human-like. Rob Renzetti is actually okay with this as long as it stays at "Jenny looking sexy".
• My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has become somewhat infamous for this:
  • Applebloom's friend Twist, the nerdy pony with the speech problem, has her own share of fanart, which makes her look gorgeous.
  • Spike is occasionally aged up into a relatively handsome, yet more humanoid, teen. Much of this art gave him a slender figure, but a more muscular version later became popular, especially when it was revealed how buff he'd canonically become as an adult in the show's finale.
  • Queen Chrysalis often gets this treatment. In the show she looked something like a xenomorph-zombie-insect-pony with a gnarled horn and holes in her wings and legs, and was Creepy Cute at the absolute best. A lot of fan-art makes her out to look either adorable or a dangerous Femme Fatale. This is probably because of her being a Voluntary Shapeshifter that "feeds on love" in a very vaguely defined way.
  • Since the show began there has been lots of artwork of the main characters as humans, and said drawings frequently make them look sexy. In fact, if Derpibooru is to be believed, only half of the humanized fan art is "safe for work" and most of that still feature good looking humans. Hasbro eventually released a humanized spinoff that they initially claimed was inspired by the wealth of fan art. Before Equestria Girls, humanized fan art was generally synonymous with low key or explicit self fanservice as a significant portion of the fandom still find sexualizing cartoon horses to be full of squick.
  • On a related note, human!Fluttershy is generally depicted in fan art as being the most well-endowed of the main group of friends. It has become a running joke in the fandom that this incarnation of Fluttershy constantly wears loose turtleneck sweaters to hide her large breasts (though more fanservice-laden art just has her end up being a Sexy Sweater Girl), even though her Pony counterpart rarely wears clothes in the show. This trend usually carries over into anthro Pony art, as well.
  • Many Furry Fandom artists have a tendency to turn the Diamond Dogs from ugly humanoid canine-esque beasts into fairly normal-looking anthropomorphic dogs.
  • Several artists try to give the characters differing body types in both human and horse form. Expect Applejack to be the tallest of her friends and decently muscular, Pinkie Pie to be slightly chubby, and Rainbow Dash to have a thin athletic body. This however is more often done out of making her seem more realistic (especially by those who see the Apples as having Draft horse in them) instead of outright fanservice.
  • On the other hand, expect humanized Rarity, Princess Cadance, Queen Chrysalis, Fluttershy, Fleur-De-Lis, Coco Pommel, and Princess Celestia (who like Fluttershy, will always be drawn with huge breasts) to always be drawn beautiful.
• Creepy Susie from The Oblongs has surpassed the show's entire legacy solely through this, whose popularity is sustained by artists who play up her droopy-eyed monochromatic goth girl aesthetic, without the general grossness.
• OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: Certain fans (especially the ones that enjoy drawing risque fanart) tend to play up the aspects of certain characters. Like for example turning Enid's Hartman Hips into thighs and legs that could probably rival Chun-Li's, turning Carol into a Amazonian Beauty MILF, turning Rad into pure Bara fuel and so on and so forth.
• Some artists theorize Kikimora from The Owl House to be quite an adorable shortstack underneath her clothes.
• Candace Flynn - and Stacy to a lesser extent - from Phineas and Ferb get a lot of fan-art that portrays them as being similarly curvaceous and beautiful as Vanessa. Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry gets a lot of these, too. To a lesser extent, Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella also get some, mainly in art where they're aged up.
• The Powerpuff Girls:
  • The whole franchise makes it clear that the titular trio literally don't have fingers or noses. They're also, as said on at least one occasion, "bug-eyed freaks" with abnormally large and cutesy eyes. Expect fanart to depict them as cute children (or attractive teens/adults) with noses and fingers, and more normal facial and body proportions.
  • The one-off Bunny from the 1998 series' "Twisted Sister" was a gonk due to being created incorrectly compared to Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. Fan-art usually depicts her Back from the Dead and with the same physical appearance as the other Powerpuffs.
  • Another one-episode character, Mr. Green from "Substitute Teacher", is often bishified in fanart, despite the episode revolving about how scary he looks in spite of being a nice guy.
• Many Recess characters receive this in fanart. T.J. is the most notable, but it also happens a lot to Spinelli, Gretchen, Hustler Kid, and Butch.
• Several characters from Regular Show receive this treatment in some fanarts. Sometimes even Pops, Skips, and Muscle Man. With Benson it's either Moe Anthropomorphism or they just make his nose slightly smaller.
• Rick and Morty has Morty's Moe traits often played up in fan art while Rick often becomes a borderline case of a Silver Fox.
• Discussed in this column by Eric Molinsky, a former Rugrats storyboard artist who says that fanart of the characters as adults, while talented, is too glamorous for the show's Eastern-European style, and shows some art of his of how the Rugrats kids would look like as adults in a way more characteristic of the show. Most fan art is based on their All Grown Up! designs, which do depict them as attractive as tweens.
• In Scooby-Doo fandom, Velma gets this a lot. She's depicted as curvier than she normally is. Eventually, the adaptations themselves began adding curves to her.
• Happens a lot in SheZow fanart. Guy is usually made to look more "feminine" and Kelly gets bustier and curvier.
• The Simpsons:
  • Prevalent in Simpsons fanart, where Lisa, Maggie, Bart, and just about any other child character are often aged up and beautified accordingly.
  • Jessica Lovejoy and Allison Taylor are also popular subjects of sexy aged-up fanart, despite each of them only having prominence in one episode.
  • Simpsons characters don’t need to be aged-up children to be made sexier in fanart; just ask Marge. In canon, Marge has a very modest bust and, unusually for a cartoon mom, proportional hips (heck, she describes her bodily measurements as “26-26-26” in one episode). However, a lot of Simpsons fanart will give her large breasts and Hartman Hips, solely to make her look sexier.
  • Due to Mr. Burns and Smithers becoming a Fan-Preferred Couple amongst Simpsons fans, they of course have tons of shipping-related fanart- and in such fanart, there is a noticeable trend of downplaying Burns’ overbite, the size of his nose, and/or the wrinkles and liver spots on his body.
• South Park:
  • South Park gets rampant anime-style fanart of the boys as Pretty Boys. Sometimes, you realize that the skinny, bishonen guy in the red shirt is supposed to be Cartman. In the fandom's defence, the artstyle means that there's not much room for showing how attractive the characters are, so there's a lot left up for the imagination. A few adult characters qualify as traditionally attractive after the Art Evolution, but the children still have a very simplistic design. Despite that, there's not nearly as much attractive fanart of the adult characters.
  • Cartman is rarely drawn as obese as he seems on the show. He is usually just larger than the others. If he is drawn fatter by an artist, they tend to still give him some sort of attractive feature to compensate (anime-esque eyes being a popular one).
  • Most fanarts also don't draw Kyle with a jewfro. Instead, he gets drawn with vaguely curly hair or just straight-up straight hair. He also often gets a button nose, despite his father claiming that his nose resembles his mother's hook nose. Kenny is also usually given longer hair than he canonically has to make him an Unkempt Beauty.
  • Butters is In Touch with His Feminine Side and displays Camp Straight tendencies. Despite the fact that he was forced to crossdress as Marjorine, many fan-arts depict him as very effeminate to the degree of casually crossdressing (though one episode did show him in a skirt). Most fan-art gives him a full head of hair instead of just a tuft of hair on top, though a common compromise is a stylish buzzcut or mohawk.
  • The Goth Kids often get this; Henrietta, in particular, is a fat girl who's often drawn as very skinny in fanart if not only just slightly thicker than the other girls.
  • Aged-up versions of Bebe expand on her early breast development from one episode (which appeared as litle dots on her shirt, since she was only eight) and give her the largest bust size of all the girls. Her vague frizzy/curly style is either drawn as straight, curly, or super-long wavy flowing hair.
  • Even Terrance and Phillip get drawn as attractive men, when it's hard to decipher their looks within the cartoony split-head style used for the Canadian characters. The show occasionally implies that both of them are popular with the ladies, so there's that. They could easily be Kavorka men instead, though.
  • This was parodied in the series itself when Kenny becomes a "kawaii" anime character in the Black Friday trilogy, complete with (bad) Japanese dialogue and a J-pop theme song. And to up the ridiculousness factor, he's a super-prissy Wholesome Crossdresser Magical Girl too.
  • There's an explicit parody of this fandom behavior in "Tweek x Craig," when the Asian fangirls begin drawing suggestive yaoi fanart of the titular couple as attractive anime boys.
• SpongeBob SquarePants:
  • Characters are this when mixed with Moe Anthropomorphism. Patrick will hardly be fat and may be replaced with muscle, Sandy will go from skinny to rather well endowed, and you can hardly find any Squidward that isn't Bishōnen - and they also tend to give him a luscious full head of hair.
  • Fans also seem to forget that Mr. Krabs is middle-aged, if not already a senior citizen, and make him look youthful and attractive.
• Star vs. the Forces of Evil:
  • Star is commonly drawn with large cleavage and much more emphasis on her hips and rear despite not having much in the way of curves in canon.
  • Queen Moon and Hekapoo are frequently portrayed as being much more well-endowed and flirtatious than in canon, with their giant hoop skirts giving off the impression that their rears are much larger than they actually are. Moon, in particular, is often drawn as her teenage self with her daughter, since they both look functionally alike.
  • Jackie, while having some curves in her canon body, is often drawn with much larger breasts and a more mature figure.
  • Tom and Marco are typically drawn as very tall and muscular, with Marco in particular actually looking like that in his Neverzone form. That doesn't stop fanart from carrying those proportions over to his regular teenage body on Earth.
• Steven Universe: Virtually no gem (other than Rose Quartz) has a highly visible bust or cleavage, but that hasn't stopped the fanart at all.
  • Jasper's canon design is buff and muscular with no visible bust, or even cleavage despite her low neckline, but lots of fanart give her very large breasts. In addition, she may also look far more feminine and leaner than she is (Quartzes tend to be on the thicker side, and she's no exception).
  • Pearl, canonically being sort of flat-chested, inexplicably gets an average to large bust in a lot of fanart, and Amethyst, whose own chest is modest, often ends up looking like she's smuggling balloons under her shirt.
  • Lapis also gets a fair amount of this, being almost completely flat in-series but often bumped up to at least a mid-size chest.
  • Peridot has a long face, jagged teeth, an unflattering triangle Improbable Hairstyle and she's frankly rather strange looking, androgynous and usually Ugly Cute. You wouldn't know that from the fan depictions, which often make her much more conventionally cute. Her design with Limb Enhancers got this as well, with some art depicting her in a very sexy way.
  • Mrs. Maheswaran has at best a slight bust and a little bit of a butt, and no real definition between where her hips end and her legs begin besides her clothes. Yet all fanart makes her incredibly busty and gives her an Impossible Hourglass Figure.
  • In an odd example of this, Rose Quartz is often drawn with a fat, protruding stomach to further underline her Big Beautiful Woman status - something she only had in canon while pregnant.
  • Similar to Rose, Greg tends to be drawn fatter (and much more muscular) by Bara Genre fanartists.
  • Blue Diamond becomes a more curvy, borderline-Big Beautiful Woman. On the flipside, Yellow Diamond noticeably gains an impressive set of abs to highlight her military experience. Also, Pink Diamond often gains a perkier body while White Diamond looks like a nice Silver Fox.
  • 16-year-old Steven from Steven Universe: Future gets depicted in certain fanarts as having a taller, more muscular build, despite him in the show being as chubby as he was as a kid.
• Superjail! gets this a lot:
  • The Warden is rather average-looking in canon, but you wouldn't know that from the fan art! And let's not get started on the twins and Stingray...
  • Alice tends to have her facial hair and other masculine features cleaned up a little in certain artists' styles, along with her brawniness being reduced. Other artists keep her squarish jaw and muscles, yet remove the stubble.
  • Jared and his Distaff Counterpart Charise are both short and pudgy, though some drawings will depict them skinnier, increase their height, or in Charise's case, increase her bust size. Jared's head will also find itself reduced in size at times.
  • A Moe Anthropomorphism of Jailbot gained some popularity among Japanese and Korean fanartists, where the robotic killing-machine became a lanky teenage android boy with white hair. Jailbot 2.0 and Nova are occasionally humanized as well, with the former becoming a Tall, Dark, and Snarky figure and Nova suddenly becoming a tall shapely woman with pink hair.
  • Usually subverted with the inmates, who keep their rougher appearances in fanart (except if you're Nicky or Gary).
• Teen Titans gets this:
  • Beast Boy often is drawn to be all grown up and taller despite being the shortest member of the team. He's also more of a straight up Bishōnen.
  • Robin too, especially when he's Nightwing. His Nightwing actually is a Long-Haired Pretty Boy but expect fanart to portray him more muscularly.
  • Starfire and Raven are already portrayed as attractive in the show but Starfire is most of the time depicted as the bustiest herione of the girls and often put into her costume from the comics (often times by fanartists who think she will start dressing that way as an adult). Raven gets many butt shots and goes up a few cup sizes.
  • Even Terra swaps to a curvier body.
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
  • Despite what her trademark yellow jumpsuit may make one think, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles April O'Neil would very rarely display cleavage while wearing it - even in cases when she realistically would. Of course this attribute is commonly made prominent in fan art.
  • For that matter, the turtles themselves are outright portrayed as Bishōnen in many pieces of fanart.
• There have been Hentai Yaoi Doujinshi manga of Tom and Jerry. Yes, that Tom and Jerry. The two are humanized, and while Tom looks like a suave adult man to be the Seme, Jerry looks significantly more boyish to fit in the Uke mold.
• The more clunky Transformers are sometimes transformed into very pretty, and noticeably more Human-like forms (usually for your CLANG action). Notably with a feminine shape. Especially when it's Starscream.
  • In a more traditional fashion, Sari from Animated (more specifically the teenage version that shows up in Season 3) frequently gets depicted as either supermodel-grade curvy or as very muscular.
• Everywhere in Total Drama, considering that most of the cast are teenagers and that the artstyle is rather basic. Boys that don't have abs or muscle get them and girls get way more busty and developed.
• The Venture Brothers fanfiction makes the average men musclebound beefcake via Science-Induced Phlebotinum. And turns Hank's and Dean's brotherly love into Yaoi. Not to mention those Brock on Doc fics where Doc somehow grows hair and muscles.
• PBS is not exempt. Just look up WordGirl on DeviantArt, and you're sure to find that Becky's often been... um, enhanced. And then there's the pairing pics... (It doesn't help that the two most popular pairings are Becky & Tobey and Becky & Two-Brains.)
