So, here are some things I've noticed about mono-butt designs. Not saying this is a correct/incorrect way for drawing them. Just general observations of the main two ways I've seen them being drawn.
As of late being kind of getting into the mono-butt shape overall and felt I had to do a proper analysis on the construction of the shape. Even though I've only drawn a mono-butt properly once before (HERE), I want to do more. It's just a deliciously fun and cartoony shape to try and draw. To mix it up a bit.
If you have any other notes, I'd love to hear them!
Hope you like!
Note: Will scrap later

I personally prefer Figure A. having the belly be Big like that, makes so much more sense to me for Monorumps. At least, creating one from a regular character.
The bast majority of monobutts, I tend to see around ar usually in the shape of the figure on the left. And it's way easier to just blow up that part of the character.
Doesn't the word "monobutt" just refer to the fact that the character in question doesn't have buttcheeks? That's how I see it and I call the shapes you draw "pears".
Yeah, I second this. And in fact, I think yoou have more monobutt shapes than yoou realize, especially the ones where yoou can't see their behinds. We could pretend that yoou fused the butt cheeks together into one mono-butt.
Or just kinda... forget that there is a pelvis. The legs attach to the big belly.

Yeah, there are many mono butt shapes out there. I mentioned in my reply to Everett, there's also the pear/bowling pin shape, like the classic Disney dragons, or a more bean-like shape, most famously seen in the "King-size Canary" short. All of those just do not have defined butt cheeks and are perfect for cartoony shenanigans.
Yeah, you're right. Sometimes a small line is indicated to show the division between the cheeks, if at all. I think the "mono butt" shape can fit into several body shapes. Again, I'm not claiming to be an absolute authority in the matter.
In my case I tend to define them the other way around. Regular mono butts are the shapes I outline here where the upper torso just sticks out of the spherical bottom half. You could fatten the arms and legs a bit as well. And pears go for an actual pear shape or bowling pin shape. Where the torso has more taper towards the bottom half of the body making the transition smoother. Kinda like the Disney dragon shape like Eliott, Figment or the Reluctant dragon. Or some examples like these: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51569432/ https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43220721/ Still, both types, as you mentioned, do not have defined butt cheeks and the entire behind looks like a singular orb-like mass.
This sheet was something I doodled to try and make sense of the structure of the shape to help me understand it better when drawing it. I've found it to be deceptively simple to draw and this breakdown has helped me understand it a bit better. Hope it can provide some help to folks!
In the end, how one defines them falls into personal preference. If you call them the other way around, all the power to you. We'll have more mono butts to enjoy either way!
Thank you for your comment!

Also, depending on whether the left or right diagram is "correct", it also depends on preference. If you like big bellies, you probably wanna define it as the left one (like how I'd see it) but if they prefer thick hips/butt it's probably the right one.
The left one is how I look at it and its my fav, this is most commonly known as "pear-shaped" more than just having to do with the butt. Very cartoony, its my fav style of macro/weight gain.
Yeah! I think there's a lot of overlap on body shapes. As I mentioned on a previous reply, I personally define the pear shapes as actual pears/bowling pin shapes. Where there's more taper on the upper torso towards the lower body creating the pear shape and a smoother transition between the sections. In here it's more like the upper body just sticks out of the spherical bottom. I think I may have to add those shapes to the diagram, heheh.
But there's no denying that however you like to define them, these shapes are just so fun to draw. Primed for toony shenanigans.
