needsmoarg4: I tried to make the pose

needsmoarg4 submitted:

I tried to make the pose and costume somewhat more… viable. Absolutely perfect anatomy wasn’t that much of a focus as just getting her to make some modicum of sense was, so my foreshortening is probably a little messed up. Also, after repositioning her feet, I had to shift the entire picture over to keep her in the centre and give her some space. Is that normal for these sorts of things?

One of the things I think I fixed by repositioning her was making it more obvious that she was being strangled. It’s so hard to see in the original because of layering issues (the tentacle spawns from between her feet but travels behind her leg to get to her throat) and the stupid pose (the position of the torso - and especially the breasts - makes it hard to see that it’s going around her neck). I also swapped the tentacle holding her wrist for one that was actually on that side of her body to begin with, and drew that one to connect.

(The armour probably isn’t character-appropriate, I dunno, but it makes more sense then metallic swimsuits and spikes on your inner thigh.)

You corrected Escher Girl and Escher Tentacle!  I think the comic art gods will forgive you not fixing the armor.
