Three blogs full of photos and art:

Two people trying to pose the way women in drawings and cover art do, one gender swapped, one a martial artist contortionist. Neither can get the poses. One is hilarious.

I don't get why all the art ends up samey. Sometimes the books are pretty samey too, but it's still daft. Book covers that bear no resemblance to the characters inside are persistently irritating. Book covers that just aren't physically possible? *eyeroll*

I like the picture on the martial artist's one of some real flashy moves. I want more like that. Real skill looks better anyways.

Nice links, thanks! Somehow I've never tried to use those poses in my art, not even in the gratuitous T&A shots!
