>2 bam2001: He does look like he's about to attack her for using some of his relatives as boots. Just look how he's eyeing her foot.
Also, great lack of situational awareness. She's all about the feathers, wolf is looking the wrong way, ears forward and even bunny hasn't noticed the troop of demons coming down the stairs.
And her knees don't match.

>3 GSSex-noob: Neither do the shoulders. This is going to bother me for a long while.

>4 2wonderY: Does the poor girl have scoliosis? That'd explain her uneven shoulders. It might also be affecting the er, chest.
I really think all this would affect her effectiveness as a warrior.

Perhaps this world operates by old style video game rules and you get loot when you kill a monster, only it's magic feathers rather than gold coins.

>5 GSSex-noob:
Given the awkward pose she's holding the sword in, and the fact that she doesn't seem to have a scabbard for it, she's probably not so much a swordswoman as someone who's picked up someone else's sword, perhaps for self-defense against whatever she's looking at (the reader?).

>5 GSSex-noob: she may just be made up of spare parts the artist had lying around. He didn’t seem to have any female hips. I’d worry more about her effectiveness in childbearing. (If she chose to go in that direction.)

Actually, the spare parts obviously are from Raquel Welch.

>8 2wonderY: Frank(enstein)ly I'm wondering how anything about her moves. Or even holds together.

>9 TorMented: They could only afford factory seconds.

>11 bam2001: I think the use of Welch's image helps explain the arms in the cover art. Welch's arms are down in the famous photo and artwork, so the cover artist for the book had to improvise the raised arms.

>12 TorMented: @2wonderY at #8 was right, then! Spare parts improv. Also correct is @bam2001 that they were factory seconds.
She's a Temu Raquel.

>13 GSSex-noob: GSS! for "Temu Raquel."
Either she's mismatched spare parts, or she has the worst example of a dislocated left shoulder I've ever seen....
