    The individual boob plates always annoyed me on art like this. Like, I get it, horny… but in combat you want armor deflecting things away. Boob plates deflect inwards to the important blood pumping and air using bits, which does not lead to good outcomes.

      I’m having a hard time understanding what the fuck is going on with those feet. The longer I look the more it looks like AI. Like, there’s just some shiny, wingy, feet-like area at the end of the legs.

        Definitely not AI. Here’s that same image as a tattoo from 1993. Hajime Sorayama did tons of illustrations like this, including a Daft Punk album cover.

        The feet make sense once you see it. Her left foot is crossed over her right ankle. Her sandals have wings on the heels like the Greek god Hermes.

          Oh, 100% it’s easily verifiable that it’s real art from a real artist. I didn’t mean to imply that I thought it was slop.

          It doesnt make sense to me because of the sandal, and the metal creasing with her arched foot like a sock, but if shes got metal soles on the feet of her armor, why does she need a second, partially detached sole?

          Some of the other details dont make sense in an early ai sort of way, like the hinge reinforcement on her right elbow. If she bends her arm more does it poke into her flesh? Is her arm just locked on her hip? Same thing in the back of the knees.

          It almost seems more lime its a cyborg body with just a human head, than a suit of armor with a body inside.

          that shield the shield around the arm thing feels off too. It seems like its fixed to the gauntlet, or too tight to slide up her arm, so whats that second grip for?

        It’s not AI. This artist is well known for their style. In addition to prints and descriptions for this piece, you can also simply search for how long it’s been posted online. I found this piece has been posted as old as 14 years years ago online.

          A simple reverse image search would dispel that. Always good idea before accusing a picture of being AI.

            Ok my apologies I FINALLY understand what is going on with her feet. I thought her right foot being missing was a clear example of a mistake only AI would make but it is just arch-up away from the viewer.

        For once i disagree. Platinum sandals that dont conform to your feet might be the one shoe choice thats even less practical
