How come Miqotes/In-game models don’t look this good?

...seriously, I just tried it to see how you'd get into that position. No way that's "just leaning on a table". It actually hurts.

I don't know, doesn't look that bad to me.

Her top seems to fan out quite a bit near her waist, seems normal enough to me when that's factored in though. /shrug

Just because we're commenting on her position, I think the tail pushing her clothing up makes her butt look higher and more unnatural than it is.. I think if you took out the ruffle in the clothes and the tail lifting it a bit that then it would look more normal (still a bit arch backed but nothing too weird- imo).

On top of having a tail and clothes pushing things out, we have it's the whole cat theme so it would make sense to build in a light arch in pose (since that's a stereotypical cat trademark, the whole curvy thing).

I’m very certain one or two people at SE has a thing for legs when doing artwork.
I’m okay with this.
