Diversity in the Waltman-verse
6 years ago
One of the things I realized is that I have a lot of births in Waltman's Women, but all the ones shown on my gallery are the conventional vaginal birth variety, with the outlyer being a waterbirth done by 
pinkle. I think I need to find someone who would want to draw a C-Section birth that 1> Does not cause everyone to barf and 2> Did the miracle of birth justice like the other pieces I've had done. I've seen a C-Section piece done here and there on FA but they were horror scenes or they were someone's medical fetish (not judging, just explaining). I guess I wonder from those out there - what would your criteria be for such a piece to keep it from violating core rule 1 OR 2.
Sure, surgery can be a rather off-putting topic - but birth IS birth, whether it be one way or another. The destination is the same (parenthood and healthy momma & baby), just the path and view is different, right?
-- Edited to add --
I also realize that a breech birth would also help diversify things a bit as well. Sometimes babies don't want to enter the world head first, pesky little beebs. I remember seeing one of
bellecandie done a long time ago, but it seems to have been lost to the ravages of time.

That said, there is this piece. If you want to depict such a thing tastefully, you'd have to do so without showing the "action".

I just feel like I want more representation in the images. Breech births, C-Section (or Belly Births, as one person called them) are just part of how babies are born these days, why not seek to make all feel included?
I've only seen c-section drawn once or twice, and implied c-section from a scar on a character ref. I'd be very interested to see that, on top of breech birthing :3 Oversize birth as well~
Perhaps there might be one artist who can be interested in it, if you'd like to talk more about it some!
