but he hasn't
he starts by saying they are the same pose, they aren't
They're similar, but the spiderwoman one requires a broken neck for starters

not to mention his fingers - what the hell's going on with spiderman's fingers
also, I don't think the outcry against the spiderwoman cover was because it was unrealistic. There's a roll call of unrealistic comic artwork, both of male and female bodies.

I wouldn't expect it to be natural, its a comic
the point is, Spiderwoman is "presenting" her arse, whereas Spiderman is clambering round the surface. And while Campbell did give Spidey some arse crack, Spiderwoman's is just that much more disturbing.
The weird broken neck over to one side and impossibly bent arm are lesser problems.

spider man is sticking his arse in the air, cheeks spread apart, legs implausibly wide
if the woman was in that same position.... well, lets just say I've seen that video

Spiderman's muscles are tensed, meaning that he's raising his arse
something that your drawing doesn't show, which looks more and more like he's humping a massive balloon

and another thing....
it may seem innocent saying 'spiderman is clambering round the surface' as if no gay comic artists have ever existed
but then so is spiderwoman. She is clambering off the side of that wall, one leg still hanging. She can't slither across the floor like snake woman (trademarked).

You're right, if a gay artist had drawn a picture of Spider-Man's bottom,
it clearly wouldn't be innocent.

well, the muscular trend in Western art comes down to us from Greece
and restarted by renaissance painters
there's no secret that muscular men in art history appealed to gay men
(, Thu 4 Sep 2014, 23:36, Reply)
Right enough, poofters come from Greece, don't they?
I suppose that naked/scantily-clad women in art history appealed to straight men as well. That makes sense.
Wow, who knew art was so complicated?

have I been misinformed?

Her head is off to the side

meanwhile, spiderman has crippling arthritis and is risking a prolapse

Once that happens
it is hard to stop it happening. And imagine it was a super-prolapse.
I already get bored of wiping as it is.

Your drawing is wrong.
Spider woman has her further back leg still off the building. So she's actually quite flat from shoulders to pooper.

tbh
Everyone's quick to take the higher ground these days. I never heard there was a fuss over the comic, but whoever gives a fuck needs to get a life.
Looks like a pretty cool drawing, maybe they should hire a female or gay guy who also has a clear interest in drawing the human form.
Other than that, who wastes their time worrying about this stuff lol.

I refuse to form an opinion on the matter
until I hear directly from the artist.

he probably doesn't give a fuck either
he made a sexy drawing, got paid, loads of free exposure from whining people who don't have any point to make other than it's a sexy drawing haha.

one thing that Maddox is totally wrong about is when he goes off about how nothing and everything is sexual
the image is clearly erotic
you wouldn't get away drawing a child in that position - except a toddler
(, Thu 4 Sep 2014, 23:26, Reply)
No.
You are saying that the sexuality comes from the pose alone. That makes you a paedo. It comes from the fact it is a fully developed woman AND the pose combined. A child in that pose would only appear sexual to a deviant.

I stand corrected
Drawing kids in that pose, and any other suggestive pose, is a OK. Whoever complains is a paedo.

nothing sexual about My dog licking My balls
While I give him a reach around.
I'm not into beastiality.
Nothing sexual if I drew My Friday night nocturnal act with the dog. You'd have to be a pervert to find it sexual.

Why are you bringing dogs into it?
