Alternative Artwork

Dear folks,

let me cite the user fluffy in bug No. 276:
»Personally I think that the art needs to be completely redone. Ms.
Workrave looks creepy and is horribly-proportioned, and more than once
I've had coworkers ask me why I had pictures of "a big-breasted anime
chick" on my screen.«

I thought it better to cope with this issue on the mailing list, as it
is quite discussion-prone.

I rather don't like this Ms. Workrave, too, and get slightly angry being
interrupted by her amidst typing. Well, that's a personal issue, but as
fluffy points out, people tend to be somewhat bewildered by the fellow
on the screen.

Thus I propose an alternate artwork and, to be somehow constructive,
provide some sketches of my own ideas. I am not the finest drawer, so
please don't laugh too much. -- My intention was to create an
as-plain-as-possible figure which still illustrates the exercise. The
plainness makes it easier to develop pictures for new exercises.
Additionally, since it doesn't attempt to be pretty, no one can say,
that it is ugly in some way or the other.

I want to emphasize, that it is not thought to be a replacement for the
old artwork, but to be an alternative to those users feeling themselves
being offended by Ms. Workrave.

Faithfulliest

Richard
