I say "short adult", but there's no way for me to be completely objective....
33yrs old & i stand 4'9", 105lbs. Unfortunately, unlike this mesh in question, i wasn't gifted with large boobs so people can make the distinction between "child" and "adult" easier.
when i was pregnant, i couldn't walk around with my dad - he actually had one "concerned" (read nosey) couple call cops on us one day. (i was 22 - they claimed i was 10 or 11). The same time frame, i went to a store with my mom - she sent me off to pick up "one more thing" and by the time i waddled back, my mom was about to strangle the cashier, because without any preamble, the cashier had looked at my mom and said "how can you let her walk around like that? all of 14 years old and pregnant? and who's the father, her DAD?"
i handed over my ID, which caused the cashier's jaw to drop, and profuse apologies to start spewing forth.
That's just two of the many MANY stories i have where people look at SHORT and see CHILD.
another reason my figures in my images don't usually get resized LOL.
As for your "short adult" - i, too, would recommend wider hips, perhaps a slightly wider waist (not too much, or you lose the womanly shape), and slightly thicker thighs as well. perhaps a bit more "bottom"? upper arms are also a place where age shoes.... slightly thicker upper arms might help, too..... perhaps a tiny touch of a belly? a little less rounding in the facial cheeks, too.... i've noticed for most (shorter) females, the last of the "child-like facial curves" vanishes around the age of 20 or so.... especially if they are one of those blessed women who will always look "young for her age". my thoughts on that is that the growth hormone contributes drastically to the aging process, thus shorter people tend to look younger? but that's beside the point....
im interested in seeing where you go with this short adult, beos - and i have to agree, the princess in arthur and the incredibles was... very loveable =D - and so's your "short adult"
Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....
