Kids can definitely have 6 packs. Especially those who train from an early age. Despite this, this style is almost directly associated to teens in Anime. In most anime, adults are not portrayed in this manner whatsoever. Is this art well drawn? Yes. But it's not a very good representation of an adult male viera, and in any anime would be seen and identified as someone who is not over the age of 16. If it was not your intention, again I suggest you do some reading about the Death of the Author.

Most men do not look like twigs either, and those who would be seen in lore as super assassins, most definitely do not look this way. Had the females looked more to this description, I wouldn't have so much contention against this. However the females are already in the game, and they look way more adult than any other race.

Again, in case I didn't make myself clear, please read about Death of the Author. You don't get to dictate how art is interpreted.
