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 sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous, impossible or disturbing ways that sacrifice storytelling.

I found this picture on Escher Girls and decided I would try my hand at adjusting the anatomy. The main complaint is that she is merely posing not really fighting this creature. I interpreted it as she finished the battle and is posing with her “trophy”. Anyway, there were quite a few things that were odd with the original. The main issue is that her torso was way too long and her sword arm was not foreshortened correctly.

I ended up making her head larger, fixing her shoulders, giving her a thicker waist, taking the sway out of her back, adjusting her arms, fixing the perspective on her leg, giving her a bikini bottom (cause she was sitting bareback on spines?), I also adjusted her facial features. I decided not to change her costume too much as this character rarely wears more than jewelry.
