Escher Girls

Float like a butterfly, Sting like a WTF?

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.

page from PLAY Magazine's Girls of Gaming vol. 6 showing the Ikki Tousen girls Hakufu, Ryofu, Kanu, and Ryomo, 3 of them are in short plaid school girl skirts and outfits and 2 of them are facing the audience and one is turned away in a boobs and butt pose, the final girl has long blonde hair and is in the background

Casual Boobs and Butt posing

Eyepatch girl is trying to look nonchalant about having her feet glued to the ground while she poses with her friends.

card art from Magic Knight Armageddon mobile game that depicts an anime girl with purple eyes in a purple and white bikini with a gun for her arm, she is standing in a boobs and butt pose with her butt facing the audience and her torso turned to show her breasts

But what are the belts for?

Boobs and butt pose aside, I kinda like how her outfit looks like she murdered Frieza from Dragon Ball and made clothes (and random belts) out of him. xD

cover of "Penny for your Soul: Pestilence #6" comic book from Big Dog Ink showing a white woman with long blonde hair and a halo and golden energy wings like an angel, she is in a blue and white bikini top and bottom with stockings on, her legs are spread forward and back and bent at the knees, her stomch is extremely plasticine and stretched so her chest is thrust forward

TFW Your Entire Torso is Imploding

Pictured: an unhappy angel getting indigestion from apparently swallowing an entire black hole.

splash page from Teen Titans vol. #4 28 showing Wonder Girl fighting a mob of enemies and throwing a lasso around one, she is standing in a boobs and butt pose with her legs spread and her butt thrust back, an insert panel shows her tied up by the lasso with a surprised O lip shape on her face and wide eyes looking down like she's turned on

Cassie is very enthusiastic about having her life drained

Cassie showing off the boobs and butt pose and then seeming VERY enthusiastic about finding out if her lasso would drain her own life. >_>

cropped cover of NiER #1, the comic book adaptation from Wildstorm of the first game showing the title "NIER" at the top and a white haired man with a big sword holing it over his shoulder like a baseball bat, behind him is a white haired woman in a blue nightie and stocksing, she has her torso and chest tilted to our right but her butt tilted to the left showing both buttcheeks to us in a boobs and butt pose (her butt is offset to her torso almost 90 degrees to the side basically)

The butt is so NiER yet so far from connecting

cover of "Codes: Sisters of Battle" from Warhammer 40,000 showing a white haired woman holding a sword in a military outfit standing with one leg raised, she's wearing boots that are pointed straight down from her ankle (not pointed curved like a high heel, but straight down) so she's standing on the tips of her toes with a high heel at the back

Getting To The Pointe

"File this under "The artist's barely disguised fetish"

It took me a minute to realize, but she's supposed to be wearing this style of fetish shoe (ballet heels).
