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.

nelc submitted: A redraw of this using a Poser figure. I used a standard model, Sydney, with a standard pose modified to match the original, then painted a swimsuit in Photoshop. (Gave the swimsuit a high neckline just because it was easier to draw in.) The hair colour got away from me a bit; Poser has some quirky controls that made it difficult to match colours. And the hairstyle doesn’t match Scarlett Johanson’s. The model isn’t quite right: Poser seemed to object to how much I bent her left ankle, producing something that looks a little broken. But flipping between this and the original makes me appreciate how much Starfire’s alien skeleto-muscular structure varies from baseline humans’. ;)
