  • Over-the-Shoulder Pose
rdfs:comment
  • When a character or model poses with their back to the audience, but twisted round to look at the viewers so that their torso is almost pointing backwards. If the fanservice is more blatant, they'll probably be sticking their butt out and curving their spine vertically rather than merely twisting sideways. Probably used for a few reasons: Popular with glamor models and anime characters. Naturally characters not portrayed by real life actors can pull this off more effectively, since they can twist in ways that would snap a real person's spine or at least be darn uncomfortable.

  • When a character or model poses with their back to the audience, but twisted round to look at the viewers so that their torso is almost pointing backwards. If the fanservice is more blatant, they'll probably be sticking their butt out and curving their spine vertically rather than merely twisting sideways. Probably used for a few reasons: 1. * Lets you see the character's face. Having them look at the audience is more engaging. 2. * Can be used to give a coy impression ("Oh, what are you doing back there?") or to make the character look mysterious. 3. * Tends to enforce a sidelong glance from the character, intending to invoke a submissive or vulnerable image. 4. * Shows the character is supple and limber. 5. * As the alternative name suggests, lets you see the character's butt and chest at the same time, so both Ass and Tit fans get what they want. If it's trying to be anatomically realistic, the "tit" part will usually be restricted to Sideboob. Popular with glamor models and anime characters. Naturally characters not portrayed by real life actors can pull this off more effectively, since they can twist in ways that would snap a real person's spine or at least be darn uncomfortable. At least one glamor model has blamed their back problems on having to repeatedly pose in this way. Not that glamor models don't have other causes of back pain. Compare Coy Girlish Flirt Pose. Not to be confused with Over-the-Shoulder Carry.
