Didn't someone make a parody of this where she instead gets turned on by it and fucks the street sharks?
Edit: Yes they did. It's more the teenager from Dinosaurs, not a street shark though.
Very NSFW, but she's also drawn much more attractively so it's not eye gouging horrible. Artist is BubblegumRising, also did "New Guy" porn. Weird, but I suppose complete and total irreverence is probably the best response to SJW Art.
Soon, you will be racist for pointing out that throwing random Japanese words into English sentences haphazardly is cringe, because who's to say they aren't transjapanese and you are being disrespectful to their true genuine self.
Of course, you were already racist, so does it really matter?
Have to agree with the rest of the posters here. Money and infrastructure. Most software can wait. The most important thing is to have a network that isn't controlled by current governments capable of linking and interfacing without using things like domain names. Make it really easy to route around damage.
Next is money. For fairly obvious reasons. Mastercard is up there in terms of cooperations ranked on readiness to take over a large chunk of the world.
As am I.
Violence is the prime authority from which all other authority is derived the only difference is that in really just the past 60 years it was implicit violence rather than explicit violence. Now we are returning to explicit violence.
May your conquerors have mercy upon you.
I feel you. I've lived in the same place my whole life. Middle of the woods, walk in most directions for miles without seeing any civilization except for crossing the occasional road, railway or power lines. But I can see it approaching from the south. Towns get bigger, and I think more and more about just heading North. At least I am far enough north that it keeps out those accustomed to warmer climates, but the specter of an increasingly authoritarian government leaves me hoping more and more that the government continues to neglect my area of the world rather than hold out any optimism that some day the rampant alcoholism, poverty, and drug abuse are solved.
Fair enough. They're just the big pacifist church near where I live. In any case, I understand your religious objections, I suppose it's a fundamental disagreement about prime movement in the universe. I believe your view would cause the world to collapse into violent disorder, you believe my views are irrelevant because they are nothing to the will of God.
I am a disappointment to your god, and you are a disappointment to mine. If it truly is God's will that the world descend into chaos, and we are all killed, then I'd rather die with a gun in my hands fighting to defend everything I loved.
In my perspective I am also evaluated on what I do. The strengths I build. Not what I suffer. In this life, I should be the best that I can be to protect those closest to me, and inspire the same strength of body and mind in them as well. To sit on my hands and do nothing when I could have protected others? That would be the disappointment.
I must constantly strive for more knowledge, more skill at my crafts, more fitness of the body, including preparedness to attack or defend with both strategy and athleticism.
You a witness? You sound like one.
An intruder invades your house. What do you do? Run? Do you have a family? Do you abandon them to the intruder's whims? Where do you run to? Somewhere safe? Like a police station? No, because the safe places are only safe because of authority and the violence implicit in defying that authority. Maybe you run out into the woods. Unfortunately the violence of man is restrained and measured compared with the violence of the wild and wolves can run faster than you.
You are a coward and a fool, and if you aren't willing to exert threat of violence, then you will always be the slave of someone who will. There will always be violence enacted on your behalf or against you.
Condone violence, or condone every abuse conceivable to be brought against you.
You are facing the wall. Everyone you've ever cared about is facing the wall next to you. Remember "God didn't promise you anything in this life." and thus you justify your own death, the deaths of children, and justness of the coming dictatorship, because to resist would require violence.
You are pushed into a mass grave, and forgotten by history. But at least you went to the grave feeling morally superior to your killers.
It is you who don't fathom existence without the comforts of modernity. Do you think that violence hasn't been more necessary than it is now throughout all of human history? Bandits, pirates, train robbers? Where did they go? They are no more because the violence that would be wrought upon them was to great to take the risk. If we abandon violence these people will return until we take up arms again.
They are already returning. What are the "defund the police" and "mostly peaceful riots" but examples of the threat of violence from the state fading to be replaced by the threat of violence from someone else.
If you are not willing to be violent, someone else will be.
That's nice, but what if he has a beef with you? Convert or die. Now he says go blow up the infidels? Break your principles and fight him, break your principles and blow up the infidels. Keep your principles and die on your knees having changed nothing forgotten by history as the world burns in violent conflict.
And what would you oppose the violent with? Harsh words?
A pacifist is a coward that hides behind the strength of others, chastising those who would fight as morally inferior to himself, ignorant of the fact that his nonviolence is only permissible because others are violent on his behalf.
I sincerely hope you never have to learn the hard way that all the harsh words and feelings of moral superiority, won't stop an antifa blackshirt, a Chinese communist, an Islamic extremist, or a feral raider as he is in the process of bashing the teeth out of your skull.
If a pen is mightier than the sword, it is only because the pen can inspire many swords.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that he was just pointing out that the shoulder joint stays in the same place even if muscle increases. As far as function goes, really the only important difference is that mens are larger and bulkier and have the additional strength and leverage that comes along with that. Not really a big surprise.
This is solar and wind power's dark secret. The output fluctuates so you have to have something to compensate when output drops. Something that can be dialed up and down easily. Your choices are basically Oil and natural gas.
Women's shoulders are narrower. The skeleton doesn't really change shape as you put on muscle, so a muscular woman is still much narrower across the shoulders and probably should be even if she's a cartoon character depicted as unreasonably buff. As such, her arms have can have a distinctly feminine shape even with big biceps if the artist is talented. However, untalented artists will simply make the whole body larger if they want to depict a character as muscular which leads to "Tiny head syndrome" where their head is disproportionately small compared to the rest of their body.
In the picture above, her shoulders are about 5 heads wide. This isn't really that attractive, this character design says villain to me. A character whose quest for power has left their body altered and no longer fully human.
5 heads wide is slightly wider than regular Hulk's, whose shoulders are typically depicted at 4-4.5, and his shoulders are already a bit freakishly wide to add to the bestial nature of his design.
Traditional heroes like Captain America generally have shoulders 3-3.5 heads wide. 3 is a good starting point for a typical male design, then you broaden them out just a bit to exaggerate the character to an ideal.
Regular She-Hulk is generally drawn with shoulders 2.5-3 heads wide. Wide for a woman, but still slightly narrower than a man's shoulders. In general, a broad shouldered woman will only go a bit higher than 2.5 headwidths. A cute, attractive woman will likely be closer to 2 head widths wide at the shoulders.
You can subtract another half headwidth off any of these character types if you want to make a teenage version, and you can drop down to 1.5 or 1 if you are drawing a small child. If you go lower than one than it really only works for very moe loli designs and super deformed characters which throw the basic body to head scale out the window.
Furthermore, the design posted in the OP has narrow hips and thighs compared to the shoulders. Bulking out the hips and thighs is a good way to make a character more muscular without making them less feminine. If you don't bulk out the hips or thighs, your character will look thin, prepubescent, or masculine. In this case it's pretty obviously the third case. However even if the artist was to do that, It seems unlikely that the picture would be better, as because the shoulders are already so inhumanly wide that bulking out the hips to match wouldn't balance the character out, but instead move them into the territory of unsettling deviant-art muscle fetish works featuring rippling slabs of meat that are difficult to identify with as a human, likely explaining why the hips and thighs were left as narrow as they were in the first place.
All of this is a very long way of saying the character looks more like Thanos in a wig than any sort of aspirational hero. I don't really know anything about marvel lore, so I have no idea what the character's supposed to be like.
This is like being in seventh grade and looking up big adjectives that you think sound cool, and sprinkling them liberally over your English paper without caring if they actually fit very well.
"I'm almost finished my new racial studies paper. How can I make it stand out from the 40 nearly Identical ones that came out this week? I know! This one has [Black Holes/Glaciers/Neutrinos/etc.] That makes it both more interesting, smarter, and REAL science."
I'm not going to subject myself to the dreck, but I'd be astonished if the paper even has an understanding of black holes on par with a D-Tier science fiction paperback.
Nothing. It's a small company and this is our busy season. We don't have time for pointless bullshit. Not that the composition of the company is such that it would put up with pride even if we weren't busy. Unless there is free beer, then maybe, but just for the beer.
Yep. You can buy the thing sealed in mint condition on eBay for less than 5000$ and it's not particularly rare.
So either: A) Some rich dude has decided a fancy box protector is worth over one million dollars.
B) This is Money Laundering
C) This is WATA and Heritage Auctions shifting items between themselves in an attempt to drive Interest, prestige and Prices for their goofy rating system.
