This was actually the inspiration for some art I got, the initial idea being that the person wished for an ideal girlfriend and ended up with an insect lady who was objectively beautiful but extremely awkward to look at. It came as a result of me looking into what people considered attractive and noticing that every single trait that could be applied to a bug (because they sure as hell aren’t getting “intelligent”) did.
Now i’m bug-pilled. The future is going to be made up of insect-people.
There’s a Craig Ferguson interview, where he says one of the secrets of some(!!!) of the most attractive Hollywood actors, is that in real-life they look like bug people. You know, weird looking, big eyes, huge head, tiny body. Looks great on camera and in 2d, not so much in the flesh. Probably also why IRC some Hollywood insiders call actors lollipop people. Stick with a big head on it.
The fallacy you’re under is that these things are ‘big’ or ‘small’, which implies they’re not actually ideal. That leads to hyperbole like this where the proportions are too extreme.
Tell me about it. There’s a meme among artists where they ask for proportions to be bigger and bigger until the thing in question takes up the entire page. You’re like “Are you sure this is what you want” and they’re like “Hmm you think you can make it juust a little bigger?”

In case you were curious what it looked like, here is the concept art I drew

It’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5eaDhCVNJU if anyone ever asks for something to be made more naturally proportioned.
