Why does Daphne need to have visible nipples in this?

It’s realistic. You trying to say that you wouldn’t be excited after culling a klan rally?

You have better eyesight than I do. That's one tiny dot of a nipple.

I count 2, plus four counts of murder.

They were ghosts, you can't kill someone who's already dead

Somehow her navel is visible through the tube dress as well. Perhaps it just made out of Saran Wrap.

I'm pretty sure this is a rough draft. Artists use these markers for correct proportions and take them out with the finished product. But many things of this sketch look unfinished.

not to mention the belly button that is somehow part of her dress

You mean, like this? Or this? I found better examples on my web search, but they appeared to be from personal sites, and I wasn't broadcasting that.

There are curves etc. around the belly button that will stretch and twist fabric like that, particularly if they're somewhat tight. Weight doesn't have a large bearing on it, but lighting will make it more or less obvious. If you can see it in staged pictures, you will see it in more casual settings. And it's not too surprising an artist would notice details like that.

Maybe the artist likes nipples? Can't blame them really

Because women have nipples

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Daphne doesnt believe in bras.

But we're fine with the gun and murder?

Understand the way in which people commonly use iconic media figures in artistic, subversive ways to parody and highlight social issues. It's a human thing, humans do it.

You gotta try to fit in y'know.

Yep, fine with the justified homicide of klansmen.
