Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like this: [link] It's a martial artist and a contortionist (one person) explaining why my least favourite common female "heroic" pose: both nipples and butt crack facing forward and ready to fight is just not working.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh.
"Isn't that Liefield Syndrome?
"No L.S. shrinks your head and feet and causes sexual arousal around pouches."

I've found that the syndrome is being called brokeback. Waste of a good, well, brokeback.
I've also found a couple interesting tumblrs:
- [link] I wish she'd draw more and talk less. I know what the words are. I like seeing the actual alternatives.
- [link] Great balance of words and pics, and great pics. I like her approach to sequential art, and she's less touchy than the first artist.
eta: I can't lie, reading both of those tumblrs from tip to toe made me paranoid about my own grasp of anatomy (especially the tits and ass woman--she's really good at blocking out the form) and I had to go look and see if my most recent life drawings had room for internal organs. In my defense, the model was freakishly tiny...

So, I've been reading this Greg Land rant blog: [link] and it's filled with the usual things--Land is a tracer, Land relies on orgasm face, Land re-uses poses...
But I hadn't realised how consistently, nay, pathologically Land narrows hips and blows up breasts of any given trace. Also, I hadn't realised how much he swiped from other artists. I'm sad that the industry doesn't seem to care, especially about the latter.

I guess because it's easy for him to meet deadlines?

I assumed he was bribing the managing editor with his photo reference material once he was finished using it...

He must be *way* early, is all I can think. Because he's pretty heinous. Toss the implicit sexism and stuff out of consideration, and it's still pretty crappy.

So Green Lantern and Young Justice finally return to Cartoon Network. The new time is 10:00am Saturday, instead of Friday evening.
Cartoons on Saturday morning! What a concept!
