Jeff,
Why would you expose your six-year-old to Rob Liefeld. Your brother or sister should forbid you from seeing him again, ubless as a good uncle you also show him Perez amd Wolfman. (I know the nephew is a non-real person, because what 6-year-old knows what WTF means.)

“apparently collected her outfit from a thrift store in the red light district.”

You could probably make a decent origin story out of this.

Take a look at the pattern on the spandex…The white block that runs down the front is not anywhere NEAR centered on the “body”. The headband between the eyes would block peripheral vision. The reason that the boots are so huge is to keep the metal bands around the thighs from clanking together with every step. Clank…clank…clank…
Jeff, I’m curious to know what you think of the costume designs for the main characters in City of Heroes…after reading some of your Liefeld critiques, I noticed that Lord Recluse’s thigh armor would stab him in the hip if he ever bent forward…and Sister Psyche apparently collected her outfit from a thrift store in the red light district.

Kingmonkey: “Imagine meeting a Rob Liefeld character in real life. You know how ugly people become when their eyes are too far part?”

A person would have to be made out of antimatter to have such proportions. No way in heaven or hell could anyone make a woman like that in real life. Scientists all around the world would go insane and commit mass suicide trying to figure this out.

Loved this! At first, I was scratching my head about that six-year-old nephew angle, but after the comment about the underwire, knew it was you! Although I’m not an artist, even I know how absurd this looks!

@J (#10): I'm not sure which is more impressive, your keen deductive reasoning skills in cleverly ascertaining that the nephew angle was a joke, or your razor-sharp use of the English language. Yes, one CAN hold a bow like that. One can also shove it up one's bum. The fact remains that no actual archer with two (!) arrows allegedly nocked would grasp a bow with their palm facing AWAY from their body instead of the way an actual human would hold it, palm in. @Synner (#7): Been there, done that, in hilarious fashion.

Gero – good call on the quiver placement! Let it never be said that Mr. Liefeld let inconvenient details get in the way of teh awsumness.

No bowstring
Sword handles with no swords attached
Boots too big to ever be able to move in
Quiver on wrong side for a right handed shooter
Shoulder pads so large that firing a bow at full drawback would be impossible

Yep, this is obviously one of Image’s most famous heroines, Killed Before She Could Do A Damn Thing Girl!
