Seriously, bigger isn't better, not always. Like every famous girl in Sweden makes their boobs larger - a lot larger. Often from C/B up to like D+ - which is seriously wrong. Enjoy your body no matter what! (And no, I'm not a jealous girl Razz I'm a boy actually. No, a man.)

B-cup is a good, normal and sexy size.

But if this was somekind of "w00t sexy lolicon contest!!!111!" I would've agreed with you.

True, but technically he is correct, Jadress is usually more well endowed but none the less our holiday Jadress is alot cuter than last years model, congrats to the winner.

if ever you find that selecting a thinpak is too much, please allow me to assist by taking the burden off your hands, say, let me have one?

ah ha


fawhooosh!

I concur, very unnecessary.

I could care less what you think. I'm not into scoring points on a PC card in the hopes that the chicks will think I'm a sensitve guy, and if you don't like it, find some other neutered soul like yourself that gives a crap.

rabble i was with ya but c'mon man, chill.

i like our jadress, it's cute and sexy without going to faye valentine lengths to prove it. the color technique looks like a fairly well done manga cover and the speckles of white really give it a "cold out in the snow" look. it cleverly avoids twinning the facial features like most 'anime' drawings do.

good work, A

fawhooosh!

Exactly, but for the record, not everyone has large breasts in real life, so why should every drawing of a woman have large breasts, according to a few people here?

Anyway, I never knew that mascot had a name...Where did Jadress come from? On top of that, where can I see previous versions of this *Jadress*?

EDIT: Let me clarify "Where did Jadress come from?" I meant, "Where did the name Jadress come from?" But looking back, it would be cool to know the origins, too.

EDIT EDIT: Let me clarify "But looking back, it would be cool to know the origins, too." I meant, "But looking back, it would be cool to know the origins of the mascot itself, too." Also looking back, it would be cool if I read over what I type before I hit submit.

C&P from the FAQ:
Who is the blond haired mascot?
Her name is Jadress. She was created by Robin “Ra-chan” Sevakis. Jadress was an integral part of the site when it was first launched in 1998, but she disappeared after a while. We recently decided to bring her back.

It's really a shame that ANN cropped the picture where they did....you can't see her antlers! She's got little reindeer antlers in the full pic that really complete the Xmas vibe, if you ask me.

Oh that is just too cute! I love those antlers, perfect for Christmas! (I can see why ANN cropped the picture due to size constraints but those antlers are just so kawaii!)

About the whole "bust size" debate, personally I think this version of our beloved ANN mascot looks ten times better than previous versions. The smaller breasts suit her more IMVHO, they make her seem less like a typical "fantasy babe" and more like a unique character.

Out of curiousity, as ANN ever thought about mascot merchandising or having a writer do an ongoing serial of Jadress's adventures?

Congrats.

As for the Boobs, they could have been a little bigger, but it doesn't really matter - She's really cute.

An is she really an Elf? She looks more like one of the demons (Nerine) from Shuffle.

JBV^_^

Merry Christmas to all at ANN

Your stuff is indeed good, and I agree that you have a good chance of using your skills professionally. Although there are plenty of good artist at Deviantart your style is so convincingly shojo. Your picture of Hide made me smile since I too own all the X and Hide albums. Oddly enough (like many fans) I never new his last name!

I agree with all the other who says that it's almost pathetic to talk about her boobs, since she's not real. Think a little: will big boobs improve the image? In my opinion, the image wouldn't improve at all - since she wouldn't be natural.

The picture is almost perfect, so stop complaining. (It's only almost because she is too thin, is she anorectic or what?)
