Hello. I have problem, my bear's shoulder are sometimes big, bears look like a body-builder or boxer. You know, big man with muscular shoulders. What to do to make them more slim?

This is my bears http://www.bearpile.com/user/1597/13821243654.jpg http://www.bearpile.com/user/1597/13787292724.jpg
On photos it looks quite good, but in reality looks stupid.

I want arms in shome shape like this: http://www.bearpile.com/user/2188/13764411583.jpg http://www.bearpile.com/user/2188/13785159705.jpg http://www.bearpile.com/user/1198/13787212135.jpg slimer, nicer and smaller I think. How I can do it?

For slim shoulders the joint discs have to be nearly the biggest size that fits into the unstuffed arm. So you can either use bigger joints or make the arm pattern slimmer (just a little bigger than the discs you want to use).
Good luck!  bear_flower

Maybe, if you make the arms smaller, and use a joint in the same size as the arm ( then there can't be so much stuffing in )
Then the mark to the joint in the body, make then lower down.
I hope it make sense.

Second all the above, and wondering do you have a dart in the top of the body? If you do, I'd try removing it.

Well I think part of the solution is to move the placement of the arm lower on the body. I also wonder if the neck disc is too large. Meaning it may need to be smaller. This provides less shoulder.
