Hawkeye Initiative: Alagaësia

[snarkbotanya]

The Hawkeye Initiative, for those who may not have heard of it, is an online project where artists show exactly how messed up female superheroes' poses are by drawing them being performed by a male superhero, usually Hawkeye. If you haven't seen it before, I highly recommend checking it out; the drawings are hilarious.

I just saw that Arya picture. What. The. Fuck. It's awful. Her hair isn't even black lmao. He has a very dated art style. It's not appealing

The anatomy is just horrible. Her waist is only barely thicker than Barbie-sized, the lines on her neck look more like fat rolls than musculature, her lips look like some kind of pink grubs, and her breast must be connected to her arm in some way if it's being pulled left to stick out at us like that.

Still, I guess we now know why Sienna Guillory dyed her hair red for the movie.

I've said it before, but Paolini's art smacks of someone who has become quite skilled at copying, but lacks their own understanding of anatomy and theory, and how referencing is different from copying. Which, as far as I can tell, sums up his attitude toward any creative pursuit.

Probably, though it would be difficult to track down a specific image when the pose is so generically 80's-comic-book-male-gazey.
