Sorcerer Supreme
BTW, as an aside, I was just watching a mini-doc about the making of Hellboy II. (Bear with me for a moment, this is actually relevant!) I was watching all the costumed monsters run around with their latex muscles, and thinking that Patty's musculature is extremely crude in comparison, when I saw something that really caught my eye.
It was Hellboy/Ron Perlman's pants leg. In a segment in the making-of section called "H is for Hotel", there is a profile shot of Perlman perched up the giant "H", hanging on wires as he goes about his actorly business. His black, shiny vinyl pants, which are fairly loose fitting, fell into a series of white-on-black folds that closely or even identically resemble the pattern in the pic I've numbered 21, above.
One fold angles down from the knee to taper off mid-ankle; the other mirrors the first, angling back out from the mid-ankle to the spot where the ankle meets the foot.
Anyone who owns this disc can cue up the doc in question and examine it for themselves. It seems awfully coincidental that a piece of "foreground foliage" (which magically moves with a locomoting figure!) would be placed precisely where material folds are demonstrably, verifiably, inarguably located.
Flipping through some of my art books, I see the same effect can be seen on p. 56 of B. Hogarth's Dynamic Folds and Drapery, 1995.

) that you would go to utterly ridiculous, mind-numbingly ludicrous lengths to remain in denial of the skeletal overlays showing that a real, average human skelton fits BH and Patty just fine, and yet when it comes to doing the simplest thing in proving that your gobbledy-gook Vision Realm pseudo-science art fluff is valid, you back out and flee.
