not only is it possible, its easily possible.

a gymnist could do that pose upside down.

"saying" its impossible sounds nice, but.. well its just not true.

I realize now that I wrote that post poorly. What I meant was that a version could be imagined where she is instead lunging at the viewer. I was not defending her current, ridiculous splash art.

Please stop responding to Whiteglint3. He's made it abundantly clear by now that he's an idiot.

and?

deal with it, it isn't, its just a simple action pose, it doesn't have to meet your quota for what she has to do or look like.

its a stock action pose, its obvious the artist didn't put fencing in mind with the pose, but this doesn't mean anything, you can add as many layers to it as you like.
It's not an action pose. You can't ****ing act in that pose. Try it. Left foot forward, twist so your right shoulder is forward, twist your left arm up behind your back, throw your right arm out to the side, and look over your right shoulder at where the camera would be. Congratulations, you are now effectively immobile. Real action there.

Imagine, if you will, for one second, Fiora facing directly towards the camera with he sword crossed over her body. She would not be contorting her body to stand in a ridiculous fashion to display her **** OR ass. They would simply exist.
Whoa, Morpheus, slow down. They're not ready for the red pill, bro.

You don't REALLY want me to build out the lore justifying it, do you?

Strip tease doesn't have to make it rated M ... services likely would ... but we could tweak that.

But honestly you're dodging the point of the question and focusing on semantics: would extraordinarily sexualized characters (much more so than currently exists) be OK if it were balanced by more variety?

still going on about how its "contortionist are you?

and who cares what you define, thats why I mock you, you are not important my view on it isn't important, you setting the "uncrossable" line of what is acceptable is hilarious.

True enough. I should really stop posting on this thread at all and go do something productive. I've already provided detailed explanation of the issues with various splash arts, refuted most of the common reactionary arguments, and provided a dozen or so examples of characters that are attractive without being pinup models. People for whom that is not enough are willfully blind, and I shouldn't waste my time.
