#boobsocks

I saw this screencap rolling around Twitter so I decided to take a crack at demystifying what’s going on in the anatomy here. Swivel waist, pelvis a mile wide, wait what the heck is going on with her knee? Why does it look so... curved? And what is that calf?

First, I drew the blue line to show the centerline of her body - ribcage pointing to the left of the image, SUDDEN SWIVEL HIP, pelvis pointing to the right. Poor spine. (Also offered an alternative to the clown boot.)

Onto the analysis. So immediately we can see that her hips are shaped... funky. I don’t even know how to describe this. But based on her overall body type, the iliac crests (top of the pelvis) shouldn’t be too far below her skin - except, that places her hips in very different locations. CONCLUSION: Wildly asymmetric pelvis.

The femurs? You can see the outlines of her quads, which gives us a hint about where the femurs are, and again, the great trochanter shouldn’t be far from the skin. Except! Those two points are way out of alignment with the pelvis. CONCLUSION: Wonky femurs.

The line on the right knee indicates the bottom of the femur. So the kneecap should be just below there... but wait, that knee keeps bending for quite some time, well below the armor boss. CONCLUSION: Two right knees.

And her right calf? Either every day is Right Leg Day, or her tibia is shaped like a Cupid’s bow. Since this is a skeletal analysis, I’ll go with the skeletal explanation (and because I think it’s funny.) CONCLUSION: Wibbly leg!

In the last pic, I took this skeleton and used it, and the contours of the original, to sketch her standing straight up. Please click for fullview. I think it’s beautiful.

look... I love Granblue Fantasy but why are their boobs drawn like THAT

And this is what Foxfire looks like after being electrocuted into the boobs and butt pose. It's like a reverse boobs and butt pose and also ow her leg.

Also bonus inclusion of the first page which I find very funny because she can literally just slip between those bars. xD

This is interesting because unlike the usual "look the men are also sexualized in vacuum-sealed outfits" pictures where there's still like extreme sexual dimorphism and differences in how the heroine and hero are portrayed, in this one they're drawn pretty much the same. She has boobsocks but they're not that different from how his pecs are encased, they both have the same amount and kinds of muscles highlighted. It's actually pretty equal. I don't know if that's "better", it depends on your opinion on how you think superheroes should look, but it is refreshing and interesting to me.

I don't know what to focus on, Cammy's flying vacuum-sealed breasts, her plasticine legs, or how her leotard just barely keeps that cover from being x-rated and she must spend a lot of money on wax.

*Also given that this current "vampire hunter" version of Bloodshot had a bunch of transphobic dogwhistles in the first issue, does that make Cammy like an honorary trans girl if Bloodshot hates her so much? >_>

Shi's rubber pose, double battlethong, and tiny sausage torso are especially funny given that she's supposed to be standing in front of Pearl Harbour as the attack in WW2 happens and it's supposed to be solemn and sad, representing the conflict inside her due to her biracial heritage (I'm serious, this is why there's the 2 flags next to her, it is actually what that represents).

It's like... solemn serious metaphor about identity conflict in biracial people... and also... sexy sexy posing and making sure she has no ass (because that would make her "fat" in the 90s) but also has the illusion of one so she has to be bent in that way.

That looks like the most uncomfortable costume ever, like it's just pulling at every part of her body. Maybe that's also what's happening with her waist and (lack of) butt. Just... ouch.

She has diplomatic immunity due to her U.N. position, and also they provide her with free chiropractic services due to her standing position. (Why must superheroines always stand like this, it's like a rule xD )

Text for screenreaders:

Real Name: Maya Royko Height: 5'6" Weight: 115 lbs. Occupation: U.N. operative Group Affiliation: StormWatch Prime Legal Status: Nautika has diplomatic immunity due to her U.N. position First Appearance: Stormwatch #1 Powers: Nautika can breathe equally efficiently in air or water. She has electric arc powers, making her capable of delivering a power electric shock over a long distance. Her power is further enhanced by water - a 20,000 volt charge, conducted through water, would be equivalent to a 60,000 volt charge. Nautika was one of the original StormWatch members, trained by Backlash to make full use of her aquatic/electric powers. She serves as a moderating element in the early days of the team, keeping the peace between rivals Flashpoint and Battalion. When Sunburst joined the team, Nautika and he gravitated towards one another, eventually getting married shortly before StormWatch Prime's disastrous mission to Kuwait during the close of Desert Storm. Nautika, along with teammates Flashpoint and Sunburst, was believed dead by SkyWatch after that mission. She was in fact being held captive by Deathtrap in his penthouse fortress in Gamorra. It is unclear how her long imprisonment has affected Nautika, but SkyWatch psychologists fear that she recently released members of StormWatch Prime may have become gunshy, effectively ending their usefulness as crisis intervention operatives. Only time will tell if this is, in fact, the case.
