In the MonsterCurves art style, “stuffed up” is a visual gag that artists love. Sabien’s face, normally sharp and angular, is rendered puffy—cheeks swollen like a chipmunk’s, nostrils flared and red-rimmed. Her chest heaves dramatically (emphasizing those curves) with every congested breath. And her Demonia boots, usually laced tight to her muscular calves, now feel twice as heavy.
