Which goes back to my point of if you're challenging what most people go to drawing and roleplays for then of course finding it is more difficult.
The desire for average or less than average looking characters is a minority desire, not a majority.
There's nothing wrong with it mind you, I applaud efforts to make more diverse and realistic characters.
But generally when people escape real life they want to be more powerful, attractive etc. not less attractive.
Which is fine, I get it's escapism for some people or even just projecting an idealistic vision of what they wish they could be, but as you more or less stated, not everyone is super fit and attractive, and it somewhat kills stories for me if most of the players are more focused on their character appearance verses their personality or bio, and I have noticed in general there's this lack of diversity or risk taking with character roles and archtypes, partially because nobody wants to play the unwashed janitor hobo from Orion VII if their character is a college-aged individual with a lot of potential, and that young characters typically aren't the wise old wizards or fleet admirals for obvious reasons. It's also a case of play what you know, and if you can't relate to a character who is decades of experience older than you are, you might tell yourself you can't play ot convincingly.
Or for some people, old age means no more romance options.
And don't take this as me saying all of that is wrong! All I was getting around to was saying that after getting back into roleplaying, I find myself wanting to explore some characters I never tried before and challenge myself by playing characters well outside my maturity level and experience, and heck, look into something as mundane as them having a family instead of being the standard issue batchelor with the dead parents. I want to try the freaky aliens that are horrifically ugly by human standards, the troubled family man who puts his work before his loved ones, the brilliant scientist for the forces of good with a very dark secret, and so on. Part of the fun of roleplaying is trying new things and seeing if you can't break your comfort zone to make something memorable.
And to do that, I personally have been on the hunt for images for characters the internet is very reluctant to provide. Heck, I even had a couple character commisions done to solve some of my issues haha.
Attangent over. >.>
