Hand-shaped bras a rare, but astounding “treat” among many, many gross boob-related costume tropes. And somehow, they’re almost always designed as skeleton/corpse hands, or at least monstrous looking claws… Because boob-grabbing wasn’t creepy enough on its own merits, I suppose.
What’s additionally weird about this particular one, is that if you look at her left breast, the hand-bra is not even holding it. It’s like hover hand, but extremely creepy instead of extremely awkward.
BTW, because nobody can prove me wrong on this one, I’ll assume that this lady lost her eye to one of those stabby spikes in her “armor”.

edit: We’ve been noted that this artwork is actually stolen from League of Legends fanart. BABD’s policy is not to put down fan/amateur/hobby/otherwise non-commercial artists, and I’m sorry for accidentally doing that.
Shame on Dragon 2 for (not surprisingly, considering it’s a very generic shovelware/asset-flippy web ad) stealing someone else’s work!

At last, my two childhood icons together!
And finally the uncomfortable sexyness of Sailor Scouts’ transformation (warning: flashing images in the link) is used for a good cause: MALE EMPOWERMENT!

I’m glad they realized how important it was to make a tasteful, yet empowering alteration to Mario’s traditional outfit.

This gem comes from Titan Comics, the publisher behind a couple of disappointments we commented on before (special shout-out to adding boobplate to Dark Souls, of all things).
Probably saddest part is that Monster Massacre are comic anthologies, and while adult-oriented, most of the stories included do not have the erotic monster girl artwork the covers suggest they would:
There’s a Jack Kirby horror comic in the first issue! Imagine seeing this as you open a book with cover like that.

But why though?

Kamihime Project is a strategy game where the player controls a bunch of hot girls mercenaries Goddess Princesses. Wait, where have I heard that before?
This particular lady is apparently Gaia. It’s hard to tell whether there’s any inspiration from the mythological Greek figure… but then again it’s hard to tell anything with this. I just get more confused the more I look at her.
I get the feeling that this game will be making many more appearances on the blog, especially with Creative Characters like these:
Not to mention their interpretation of Hecatoncheires, the Greek giants with 100 arms and 50 heads….
I guess the wreath on her head is supposed to mean ‘Greek?’ I just… mm.

Apparently (some of?) those are supposed to be actual figures from different mythologies… This game makes me want to apologize to SMITE, it really hurts.
Also, even though the promo material attempts (if you can call it that) to establish a “personality” for Gaia… it’s amazingly bland and vague AND doesn’t match the character design at all!
MUCH CREATIVE!

How all male video game armor needs to be
The male armor video games really deserve!
…except why isn’t every link of that mail sticking to his skin as if it was painted on? What do you mean that’s how real materials work on real people?
GASP! Did all that sexy female armor art lie to me?
Naaah, it must be because that’s a masculine body. Clearly feminine anatomy is magnetic with empowerment. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

What is video games’ problem with sniper women?
They can’t just be competent combatant ladies who shoot stuff (like male snipers in media always are), there needs to be some “sexy” gimmick to them, apparently. Like navel-deep cleavage and brainwash, breathing through skin or, now… being helpless schoolgirls with clothing damage and panty shots galore?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
(And no, no available info suggests it’s an erotic/porn game)
The game itself looks dreadfully dull. And since only footage I could find of it seems to be sponsored by the publisher, it’s safe to say that sex doesn’t really sell, otherwise this would have had fans.
