I see spines are overrated when it comes to cheerleading… This one is from the dating sim game HuniePop.

Idk if you’ve gotten any submissions from this game before, but I thought this was pretty eschergirls-worthy. First of all, I can’t figure out what’s happened with her skirt to almost make her entire butt visible. Was there a strong wind? Did it rip? Is she just showing off? Then, I’m pretty sure necks don’t work that way, but judging by the severe angle of her spine, I’m gonna assume she’s elastic.

Watching Let’sPlays can be really heartbreaking sometimes.
The game, Who’s gonna get the girl, is by INGENIOUSFUN and it is an Xbox live Indie game.
Is the full title: who’s gonna get the girl medical attention?
Edit: link to let’s play removed for transmisogyny. (I didn’t notice the link when I put up the post, so I didn’t look at the video. Thanks to the person who let me know. :) )

This is the ad for the new X-Men/Guardians crossover in Marvel Comics. Check out Magik (blonde in bottom right). That’s a classic bnb pose right there.
This was definitely a “scroll down” thing for me (or “dial up girl” as Khani calls them.) I thought the characters generally looked okay and wondered if I was supposed to look at snakey woman in the top left, but then I got to the bottom and saw Magik and was like “woah o_o”

You know how Senran Kagura is basically Shinobi Schoolgirl Fanservice: The Game with gravity-defying boobs and clothes magically sticking to said boobs? Uh, yeah…
I have no idea what’s going on or how anything works in this picture. Invisible forcefields? Glue? Both?
This is my first time submitting a picture, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these on the site before. But I spotted this at my local Walmart tonight and figured I’d share. I don’t know the show it’s for other than it’s apparently on Nickelodeon, but the centaur pose was pretty extreme even compared to the other stylised images on the display.
I liked Winx as a show, and I know it’s stylized. But that’s a pretty extreme 90 degree bend, even for the stylization. It’s a 2 in 1 toy. You get a fairie and also a centaur!
Hi!
I did a quick redraw of this cover
I didn’t want to drastically change it, but to touch up the various proportions and maintain something stylized :K
I like this redraw, and how you tried to keep it a bit stylized and in the context of the original. I also like the facial expression. :)

They were ALMOST there. Normal face, reasonable clothes, good proportions…and then butt and boobs pose. *sigh*

I swear women in fiction emit some invisible aiming device from their butts or something, and that explains why so many women pointing a gun also have their butt pointed at their targets.

If you look at her from behind, you’ll see how badly bent the poor girl’s back is.
