Escher Girls

Float like a butterfly, Sting like a WTF!?

This is a blog to archive and showcase the prevalence of certain ways women are depicted in illustrated pop media, specifically how women are posed, drawn, distorted, and/or sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous, impossible or disturbing ways that sacrifice storytelling.

This is an official art of Digimon’s trading game cards. It’s Mervamon.
I’m still trying to figure out what the heck is happening with her torso and boobs.

It seems like a bad idea to go into battle in a swimsuit much less rubbing your bare body against your sword.

Just when you thought you’d seen everything, it’s Phrenology Porn!

Unfortunately for her, she picked up a cursed sword of destroy armor and now she can’t get rid of it.

Hello,

Just wanted to share this unusual example of proper female armor (the character named Seelah), designed by Wayne Anthony Reynolds:

Love your website!

Thanks!  And she looks very cool indeed.

I choked on my drink. Perfection.

So that explains it.

This is a woman from a sidebar game ad. She is fully clothed, fully armored, and has realistic anatomy organized in a realistic pose, and she looks like a total bamf. There was a moment of shock when I saw it.

 I know submissions should be of the exact opposite, but I just got so excited…there is hope that advertisements and game designers can come to their senses! It can happen!

That is really cool, both that it’s proof you can depict a completely armored character and people still know it’s a woman, and that the ad isn’t promising me an orgy. xD  I also wanted to include the concept image of the female smuggler here because I love her design, and again, they didn’t go to random holes in outfits and stuff just because she’s a woman.

Sigh …

Maybe I should make a tag for vacuum packed space suits.

A photoshop of this post

Her right ankle looks twisted because you used the foot from the original, but I think you did a good job, especially with the top and the boobsocks.

Saw this on a preview of Razorjack at Comicbookresources.com. Nice artwork, has that Simon Bisley influence, but ye Gods….Just stare at that!

In the post-apocalyptic future, only the boobs and buttiest will survive.

The ancient Egyptian art of vacuum sealed crop tops could wreak havoc on the body.
Also,

Since this is supposed to be the original Isis (warped to the future) shouldn’t she not be white?
