Statesman's Log-in Screen Flatness...
Wow you guys are picky. Or I'm just un-picky. That's a word, right? But seriously I didn't get the gut reaction of overly contorted like I do from some comics, so I'm fine with it.
The only part that does slightly bother me is her facial expression. Something about it just doesn't sit right with me.

Yeah, sign me up for 'The face looks weird', end of. I guess I can live with sill spinal contortion (Is Penny left or right handed? Had that same argument Re: States vs Warworks) but the face just looks bad as it is.
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

I think what these loading screens need is GROUND. I'm not saying it's impossible to twist women up like macaroni from a rooted stance, just that it's much easier to catch when it looks unnatural that way.
What was that movie with the sport where people kung-fu fight each other on trampoulines over an inflatable pool with boxing gloves on? Because that's what a lot of our more recent loading screens have looked like. It's as if combatants have been shot out of carnival cannons towards each other. And I don't think the Shadowhunter can fly.
Samuel_Tow is the only poster that makes me want to punch him in the head more often when I'm agreeing with him than when I'm disagreeing with him.

I dunno...the perspective looks rather...flat to me. My perception seems to expect more emphasis on size difference either of the two figures or parts of the figure (mainly the blue guy...you'd think his right hand would seem a deal larger than his left, for example). But I'm liking the overall designs. I want that loincloth *yoink*, that hood *yoink*, the various skeleton bone parts *yoink* and I'll take that psychic melee too *yoink*!
So Penny is related to Jay Leno?

Mother Mayhem during the BAF cutscene where one of the many cape-flaps of her trenchcoat gratuitously flashes the viewers her bum in a thong [or "thong-backed" outfit if you prefer that description] for an extended period of time.

wikipedia:
"The back of the garment typically consists of a thin waistband and a thin strip of material, designed to be worn between the buttocks, that connects the middle of the waistband with the bottom front of the garment. It is also used as a descriptive term in other types of garment, such as a bodysuit, bodystocking, leotard or onepiece swimsuit in the context, "thong backed.""
so to me, same difference. tomato tomato. definitely not a catch-all term like top or pants, but specific like tank-top or capri-pants...
not that i think they need to cover her up or anything XD i just think the objectification and double standards should be noted. i think the only reason shadowhunter is so scantily clad is because he is so beastly and therefore, still kinda not really 'male'.
but this all might fit in other threads i guess, i was just following up with my earlier posts... hooray for new loading screens!

You're still mixing up types and cuts - she's wearing an under bust corset, which isn't cut like a thong - it covers her lower torso all the way up to the bottom of her bustline - calling it a thong is like calling opera gloves sleeves, jeans tights, or sandals boots

The bottom may be cut up high on the hips but (no pun intended) it's no butt floss.

Hey, I just ran into something that put's Penny's pose in perspective. She's not trying to be sexy or awkward or anything like that. She's actually just mirroring the game, and she's doing a pretty good job of it. I mean, look at the pose of your average Marcone goon:
See? Totally appropriate.

Sweetie, it's pretty obvious he's not talking about the upper part of her outfit which you seem to be stuck on; he's talking specifically the bottom part....the butt-revealing part. That, definitely, is a thong-bottomed outfit.

Two girls out to prove that those "ridiculous poses" aren't that ridiculous after all.
My favorite is the one where she's showing off her new shoes.
you could have it all

I will let you down
I will make you <3
That's down to the angle, lighting and seam - the's nothing happeing on the right.
O_O
cuz regardless of whether or not her lower garment also happens to have a higher waist part attatched, the back is more cheeky than clothing that isn't called 'thong'. next time i do a BAF, tonight probs, i'll get a screenie and post it here, along with a link [not pic] of a real-world garment to match. <_<
and if that's not her undergarments then she cant be wearing much under that O_O
this is making me blush lol and i dont even like lady parts!
