~ welcome to the inaugural issue of ‘fly by night details’! known as ‘duh-details’ during pre-production, we had the title changed at the last minute to build on existing brand(s) recognition.
~ we normally don’t post about dc comics here, but today they have done something worthy of ridicule, so we can’t resist. guillem march’s original cover of ‘catwoman 0’ was rightly maligned across the internet, and dc tried to respond by changing the cover. unfortunately, for them anyway, the new one is just as unreal.
while it is admirable(?)that they gave catwoman an ass reduction and re-attached her breasts to her body, we still believe that you can not bend your spine backwards 90 degrees. her left leg looks to be about three times as long as her torso, the right leg is about the length of the left leg’s shin. her left hand is grossly enlarged, so perhaps march is employing a thing called ‘foreshortening’. to his credit, after all, it could be possible for a human body to be so contorted if we are looking at her from 2000 yards away, through both wide-angle and telephoto lenses simultaneously, a ‘technique’ we used to employ on our interior models, back when we were still ‘doing architecture’.
ps. the new dc logo sucks!
~ our cousins over at cafe tableaux [w] have been cooking up an epic coffee travelogue all week, but they have really hit their stride with the latest chapter, ‘zootown brew’. the story starts at the wandering goat; do yourself a favour and check it out!
