One of the charges that routinely gets hurled at me is that I’m a sex-hating prude that hates sex in games and thinks that people who put sex in games are just the worst. But seeing these anatomy distortions on an actual human? I find that really emphasizes how very inhuman Bayonetta is. It’s easy to look at a computer-rendered figure and ignore obvious distortions, because there’s already a level of removal there by virtue of it obviously not being real. I’ll admit that I also should have smudged her thighs a tiny bit wider, but honestly it was close enough to illustrate the point. Bayonetta’s weird beehive hairdo just serves as an optical illusion. Yes Scarlett’s head looks tiny, but it is the same size as Bayonetta’s. Once that was done, I did some half-assed cloning to blend it together and… ta-da! I’ll admit I got lazy photoshopping the background back in In order to do this, I overlaid Bayonetta as a transparent layer on top of Scarjo and then just resized-stretched things until they matched the Bayonetta’s proportions. But this is what I settled for, since the pose is the most similar:Īll right! So with the images sourced, it was time for some photoshop magic. I would have preferred her in the catsuit, since that’s most similar to what Bayonetta herself is wearing. Lastly, I needed a full-body still of Scarjo as Black Widow to make sure that I got something un-photoshopped (like pretty much all of her promo photos). That turned out to be… a lot harder than I thought. Then I just needed to find a mostly-not-foreshortened picture of Bayonetta that WASN’T posed like a porn still. So I decided on Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, since she’s someone we’re used to seeing obviously-Photoshopped images of. (Ie: everywhere) Maybe what I needed was to photoshop an actual human woman to have the same proportions as Bayonetta for it to really hit home about how weirdly inhuman her proportions are. Maybe what I needed wasn’t a drawing over top of the original artwork to illustrate exactly where the figure went wrong. The problem was that Bayonetta’s proportions are so inhumanly wrong that a “corrected” version wouldn’t match the original at all. After doing my recent post about Bayonetta 2, I regretted I’d given up doing a corrected redraw as completely pointless.
