Escher Girls

Float like a butterfly, sting like a WTF?

Check out the official site at EscherGirls.com!

A blog to archive and showcase the prevalence of certain ways women are depicted in illustrated pop media, such as how women are posed, drawn, distorted, and/or sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous ways that sacrifice storytelling.

cover of "Kunoichi" from Lightning Comics, showing a bunch of Asian women ninja warriors in painted on red battle bikinis that barely cover their crotch in a tiny V, their legs are bent under their crotch and their waists are tinyALT

I can’t believe somebody looked at Jade Warriors and said “we need to do that but make the women look even more insectoid."  I think the one in the back left is actually shedding her legs.

upside down ad of Queen's Blade Limit Break showing a woman with glasses and her breasts pushed up against her spread legs which are on either side of her head, it looks like she has 2 pairs of breasts and 2 sets of cleavageALT

Genuinely baffled by this ad I saw on picrew because besides the anatomical impossibility of the pose she also appears to have two sets of boobs??? Please advise.

Um, my advice is to be very nice to the four boobed girl before she mutates further and buries our entire planet in cleavage. She’s boobthulhu.

cover of Fathom: Kiana #2 showing a brunette white woman in a blue bikini holding a sword surrounded by water, her torso is tiny and sinched in and her butt is pushed out and her torso looks like taffy, her body is shaped like a tetris blockALT

I think her body is more liquid than the water around her.

cover of "The Tenth" Abuse of Humanity TPB cover showing the main girl (black haired girl with tan skin) holding a gun wearing a black crop top shredded under her breasts and in tight jean shorts that are basically just coloured over her buttcheeks, her torso is bent at 90 degrees and thinner than her neck, her butt is nonexistent and she is just legsALT

This is terrifying in every way.  And also all so she can both be so thin that she has no butt but also look like she has one at the same time.  The ultimate in Escher technology.

cover of Grimm Fairy Tales #66 showing a brunette woman next to a black haired woman in pink, both are standing with their beacks bent and butts thrust out in a very awkward poseALT

It looks like they were both suddenly shot with clothes shrinking rays which contorted their bodies.

Ah yes, that classical form of entertainment: boobsocked rubber girl ballet.

zoom of phantom force #1 showing a heroine in a black mask over the top part of her face and eyes and a black bustier with a purple cape, her torso is going to the left and her legs are disconnected entirely from her torso and going rightALT

There is no way her legs are attached to her body.

page from The Tenth #3 showing the dark haired girl with blonde hair crying out "MOM! NOOO!!!" in her underwear with her butt thrust out and back bent as her mom is turned into a tree or somethingALT

Wait, is her mom the one turning into a tree or is she? Are they both turning into trees? Is this a competition? Because I think she might be winning.

ad for Dragon Knight 2 showing a red haired woman who is almost entirely naked except for "armor" around the sides of her breasts covering her nipples and around her crotch, she is sitting up with one leg raised upwards but it is completely disconnected from her hip or any part of her lower bodyALT

TFW you kill another woman to take her place for a photoshoot but vastly underestimate how much larger your chest is than hers and also you didn’t fully hide her body so you have to awkwardly lean on her leg and hope nobody notices.
