bimugen submitted:Your blog made me search into this girl, Avengelyne. I thought to myself, ‘The covers cant be as bad as the actual comic right? She might look normal in the comic and just kinda weird on the covers.’
All in all I dont think it worked out
This confirms my hypothesis that boobs and butt is Avengelyne’s default state and it takes a lot of conscious effort for her not to be in it.
That is Ancient Egyptian style: hips and legs in profile, torso frontal.

so I wanted to make their suits as fanservicey as blue rose
I also went for questionable anatomy that crops up in superhero lady poses (ass and cleavage in the same pose, for example)
and we all know bunny is just fine with speedos. it’s all part of the job tiger-san :)
Man, I love that these two can even incorporate the whole “It’s PERFECTLY OKAY for Emma Frost to run around in dental floss, for her and Namor anything else would be OOC” element of the sexualization discussion.
Yeah, Blue Rose’s costume….
Especially since she’s 16. I spent the first couple of episodes thinking she was, you know, an adult. Kinda creepy, Pepsi. (In universe. I doubt the real company had all that much to do with her age/costume design.

This clip just seemed all too appropriate. Thanks for all your posts.

Woah. That clip is completely appropriate.
Dragon Kid is next on the comics-casting list, and she’s both kind of self-evident and really not.
If there’s one superhero famous for throwing around lightning bolts who isn’t Thor, it’s Storm. But it’s difficult to imagine two characters with less in common than Storm and Dragon Kid. Storm’s very regal, once worshiped as a goddess, etc. etc. while Pao-lin’s a tomboy in her early teens. But Storm did spend a while without powers, getting by just on physical force — and wearing a mohawk and a lot of leather, for some reason — so there’s that.
Most of Pao-lin’s character antecedents are all tied to China and kung-fu action movies (which is why that drawing of her and Kotetsu on a Ranma 1/2 manga cover made my week when I found it.) Apparently her Bruce Lee/Uma Thurman jumpsuit came from the director, before the character descriptions even went to the character designer. I know comics, or entertainment in general, went through a kung-fu fad in the 70s, but I wasn’t especially interested in any of those characters twenty years later, so I can’t draw any significant parallels. I mean, I vaguely know that’s the origin of Iron Fist, but I know absolutely nothing else about Iron Fist. I’m sure DC had some characters along the same lines, too, but I don’t know what they were. Either way, I’d assume the influence is a lot more direct than that; she’s based on the movies themselves, not the comics based on them.
