Milo Manara Metafiction

[mrosa]

The intriguing opening pages of Manara's Dies Irae, one of those trippy sequences that proves that Milara, if he didn't love porn so much, could draw whatever he wanted:






WARNING: this is a Milo Manara comic book. So of course it has nudity, but it's mild stuff, for his standards.

QFT. Though I've yet to see him draw a non-porny-looking woman.

I have, but the character was a prudish old woman in a porn story.

On the other hand, I've also yet to see him draw unrealistically proportioned women, or spinebreaker poses.

Sure, most of what he draws is porn -- but it's exceptionally well-drawn porn.

Well Chloe, I like your philosophy. I wouldn't have taken you for a little girl, though. And let's ponder this: are you z drawing of a girl who would be exposing her genitals if not got the tradition of underpants, or are you a drawing, sho therefore HAS no underpants? Does the fact that you are a drawing of a girl mean you can never be naked, or that you always are? Would you serve the narrative as you do now if you were drawn wearing shorts, or underpants and a t-shirt instead of a dress that creates the illusion of revealment? would the drawing of you be as pretty if the viewer was given the impression of seeing you from above or on a level instead as from below?

This is interesting stuff, Chloe. Your author-medium is providing a clever hand.
