‘Mrs Dillinger’ 18x24 #illustration #drawing #artnerd #originalart #tron #instaart #pinup

Not only is this gorgeous art, but my analytical pattern-recognizing brain ALSO finds it fascinating for the… reversal of the expected pose.

When drawing human women, it is common for artists to choose a position that shows off the maximum of both boobs and butt

(often to the point of twisting the spine more than a human woman would find comfortable or even possible)

However, this drawing is done in a reverse of that pose. Instead of being posed to show off the breasts, the upper body is twisted away, at an angle that suggests the program is making a special effort to show off her disk.

This raises two questions in my mind:

1. Does this mean the display of the disk is considered erotic in the same way as the display of breasts in User culture?

(Fanfiction often describes the circuitry around the disk as an erogenous zone, so this is perhaps plausible?)

2. If such a display was her goal, then what is the reason for the twisted pose… since both the disk and the buttocks could easily be shown off at once in a more simple position?

(The idea that programs are fairly uninterested in each other’s butts is counterintuitive to us Users, since when watching that movie we tend to find that one of the most appealing parts of the program! But maybe the programs themselves see things differently?)
