pudding-: Since having a good look
Since having a good look through eschergirls and this blog I thought it’d be fun to have a go at doing a redraw of one of Hyung Tae Kim’s contortionist women. My subject for this is Rose from Magna Carta: The Phantom of Avalanche. I did a google and couldn’t actually find out what her role in the game was but from the look of her design I’m guessing she’s a fist-fighter though why she has big chunks of metal on her wrists and not her knuckles I may never know.
But anyway. My first port of call was tracing the original image so I could better see what was going on and wow she looks even weirder than I first thought. You can see in the light blue drawing how skewed her shoulders and hips/butt are and her left arm is just… idek. It looks like a snake wrapping its way around her torso.
In the first dark blue image I managed to salvage the legs because despite their odd attachment, they weren’t all that badly distorted albeit rather long and thin. I tried to keep it as close to the original pose as I could but greatly reduced the twist in her waist and neck to make it look like she isn’t trying to tie herself in knots. Got rid of the remaining structure lines in the next image and rotated slightly to better match the original composition.
Finally: clothing!! I felt the need to add colour so I could get rid of those awkward diamond holes in her suit and changed them to a plain white pattern. I also fixed the fabric so it didn’t look like she was wearing a weird suction suit and changed her gloves as I realised that, since she was resting her right wrist on her leg, the hand position was wrong for if she were wearing those metal cuffs so I settled for some knuckle dusters instead. I fixed her expression to something… less suggestive. Also I couldn’t be bothered with the shoes - so sue me.
But without boobsocks her breasts won’t be able to roam free, and hunt squirrels, and socialize with other breasts, and they’ll be sad.
