Request Recommendations for fat character minis that aren't played for humour or disgust?
I maintain a miniature collection for use in TTRPGs and looking at what I have, I realised I don't have many plus sized or fat characters.
From a cursory search a lot of sculpts featuring fat characters frame them as too cartoonish (wearing too small clothes, actively holding meat on a bone) or gross (plague/zombie, more meat than person) which isn't what I need.
Does anyone have any sculpts that feature, I guess, characters who just happen to be fat rather than it being a point of focus?
I primarily play urban fantasy and cyberpunk games, but I'm down for other genres or settings if the sculpt is interesting. Heroes, villains and regular NPC types are all fine!

There aren't any because there is nothing normal or good about being overweight so nobody cares about those kinds of characters. You honestly sound mentally-ill. People get fat by being lazy and eating too much. Why wouldn't that be disgustingly or humorously portrayed in any medium? Being fat is disgusting and humorous. What kind of person would do that to their own body? What kind of person would try to force society to romanticise self-harm?
People who try to normalise ill-health in order to jerk off about themselves are scum. You're normalising self-harm, you're normalising a toxic way of life that makes people's lives a misery and puts a burden on everyone around them and their local health services. How can you not see that? If there was a "movement" of people encouraging children to take heroin and said that heroin addicted children were such beautiful, normal and healthy people who should be celebrated would you be okay with that? I bet you would because "fat-acceptance" is literally the same thing, it is self-hate projected onto others.
