Psylocke analysis

What I love is that the pose was so absurd, that they had to tone it down in the statue, probably because if they made it like the picture, she would look REALLY WEIRD on the other side.

I did a crappy paint-over to give some idea what the other side might look like.

I think this “both boobs and both ass cheeks facing camera” thing is being used the same way you’ll see anime characters in profile with their entire mouth facing the camera. It’s a sort of symbolism but I’ve always thought it was extremely creepy.

Also, stop inspiring me to do paintovers of stuff, I have work to do jeez.

This is quite good, and illustrates it pretty well.  I think in 3 dimensions (like a statuette) it would look even weirder.
