I want to talk about boobs for a sec.
We all know how most comic-artists draw breasts: uniform size, gravity-defying, perfect cleavage all the time, always perfectly shaped. But look! These ladies have practical boobs! Rogue’s not wearing a shirt or bra, so her boobs are a little slack and are spread apart. Emma Frost, in both pictures, is wearing clothes that distort the shape of her breasts beyond Perfect Round Melons, as is Lilandra. X-23 and Mystique barely have breasts at all! And from there, we get into Kitty Pryde’s slim figure vs. Scarlet Witch’s Christina Hendricks-esque bod. Also, this is a tiny detail not even related to her shape, but there’s a small gap between Mirage’s ankle and her shoe.
These portraits aren’t realistic (cough cough Kitty Pride’s dress) but it’s such a relief to see artists focusing on how women’s bodies actually work.
Because really, real boobs are so much sexier than bad Comic Book boobs
Kudos, KevinWada. Now everyone needs to go to his gallery and see the rest of this fantastic series.
