For this week’s bingo, let’s take another look at something that comes from Leap of Faith. Ouch, that one must really hurt!
An… interesting thing about the design is that the lore apparently explains the painful metal bits growing into her flesh with a demonic transformation:
Lost amid the ruins following Blackburn`s Uprising, a black book finds its way into the hands of an Elvish conjurer. The transformation begins as she embraces the dark power growing within.
Okay, so the body horror aspect of sharp metal jammed in her skin is the result of the book’s dark power, I can buy that alright… How does that explain why conveniently she gains an underboob, though? Other than the “evil is sexy” principle, I mean?

I stumbled across this in a search for some images to use for tokens in a PBP Pathfinder game. Needless to say, when I saw the title of the stock photo, I thought my eyes would roll out of my head. I’m linking it instead of posting the preview pic because the image is pretty much porn in all but name. (If it’s intent is to solely elicit sexual arousal, it qualifies in my opinion, and theres no way whoever set this up didn’t have that as priority numero uno.)
Anyway, I’m going to get back to looking for an image I can use to represent a young hellknight in training.
Well this certainly beats the super perky boobplate we found on Shutterstock before.
And there I was thinking that stock photo libraries were supposed to title and tag their resources in the most precise and truthful way possible, so that people can, you know, easily find the kind of image they’re looking for.
How foolish of me to assume such thing.

Putting the image (titled
“Awesome young woman in ancient armor on grey background”) under the cut, for the record:

This character is called Captain Underboob and you can’t convince me otherwise!
Which, sadly, would actually be a hundred times less generic name than “Fantasic Girl”. The only “fantastic” thing about her design is the hair… such a waste of fabulous locks.
Also can’t help but notice how the guest
(?)
character, Flare, despite just taking up small space on the cover’s corner, is carefully framed so that we have a good look at her cleavage.
Guess the 90s superhero aesthetic never truly died… even in a 2015 title.

Thank you to icykitty for sharing the trauma of a set of armor that may actually be worse than the infamous outfit of Shahde from Prince of Persia.

I like to think that the all-around badness of
this figure
kinda makes it an unintentional piece of commentary art. As if the designer/sculptor/company behind it was trying to say “You though you saw the worst of sexy female warriors? Nope, they could look like THIS!”.
And it just gets better when you turn it around and consider the anatomy… not only is her whole shoulder clearly dislocated and torso unnaturally swiveled, the sculpt of her underboobastic top makes it look as if she had an extra breast right under her armpit!

Are we absolutely sure that the Soul Calibur prophecy was not fulfilled yet?
…and that there is a piece of fabric between her buttcheeks?
Maybe I’ll just leave a question mark on “Thong”, to be safe.
