      Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
 - The comic must be a complete story.
 - If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
 - You may post comics from others or your own.
 - If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
 - The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
 - Politeness.
 - AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
 - Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

One reason might be that the male elf is a physical fighter who is literally shown doing strength exercises, there isn't really a good way to make him look like a minor (or rather, like a link/legolas-type male elf or generic anime hot guy character) without making him look a lot weaker. Meanwhile the female elves are both wizards, so their physical shape doesn't impact their combat ability at all.
And IMO, the main character doesn't look like a child, she's just an adult woman who is kind of short and not that curvy.
