Pudgy Klingon

Anyone have any idea how to make a heavyset Klingon?

Not quite General Koord heavy, but stocky, with a bit of a paunch.

All of my attempts thus far have resulted in a Klingon male who looks quite pregnant. :(

    I supose something like >him< is what you're looking for. Unfortunately I don't know how to make one - I wanted to make a char resembling this chef back in the day, but couldn quite get the look.

    "There is nothing worse than half dead racht." Also, when he was singing was the best part of DS9.

    On topic, when I originally made my Klingon (back in 2011) I'm pretty sure that I got close to this. The thing is though, why would a warrior be so fat?

    Because I want to make an older stocky Klingon?

    Just because he's stocky doesn't mean he can't be a strong warrior. A bull is built stocky, I wouldn't want to try to wrestle one. I'll have to peek at the video on my phone. Work won't let me go to YouTube. Blah.

    But not a HUGE stomach, but like, just a bit of one.

    Just because the klingon is fat does not mean they cannot fight. There are even fat football players.

    THIS.

    Or maybe "burly" is a better word.

    Hmm.

    Besides, if I may add, despite popular belief not every single person within the Klingon Empire is a warrior - there are scientists, gardeners, masons, chefs and just about any other profession you can think of. It is true that the Empire lives by the warrior spirit, but there are many different pieces that form a puzzle. The chef from DS9 is just an obvious example of that.

    Shorten your height slider some. Shorten the torso and arms and legs.
    Boost the Stomach, leg bulk, arm bulk, waist and neck.

    Playing around with those sliders should get you something along the lines of what you are looking for.

    THIS IS PERFECT.

    I had completely forgotten about that character; much better than trying to say "Koord but not as heavy."

    Thanks! I'll give it another shot when I get home.

    Believe it or not, in most East Asian cultures(particularly Korea) if a man is not at least slightly overweight by 50, his wife is not feeding him well. The wife will be harassed and chastised for starving him if he doesn't look like happy Buddha.

    As Klingon culture was made into an idealized copy of Japanese Samurai culture as seen by the West, it would not surprise me if the same was true.

    Well, rugby playes look fat (no offense to any rugby players), but it's muscle.
