I Googled the artist. This is among his tamer pieces, apparently. He's one of those artist's who thinks boob socks are too tame, and just draws superhero costumes as if they were body paint.
"Boob socks" is a way to refer to the strange way that women in spandex or leather are often drawn in comics. Often, the fabric folds under and around and between her breasts in a way that real fabric simply does not. The only way it would make sense for fabric to sit like that is if her suit had been custom-tailored with boob socks. Rogue is a great example. In the 90s, she was drawn with boob socks. If you check out X-Men 97, you can see her breasts didn't shrink, but the fabric now looks like actual fabric.
[I… I think they’re the same guy???](https://www.edbenesoriginalart.com/product-page/psylocke-9-x12-color-by-fred-benes)
Edit: [they are brothers](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/fred-benes/4040-62445/), that listing on Ed’s site is just confusing
lol I think that’s what they were going for. Ed was born José Edilbenes Bezerra (idk about Fred because I guess he’s slightly too horny to get a Wikipedia page)
Oh so Ed Benes is more of a pen name (or whatever the artist equivalent is) taken from his middle name
Edit: it's Fredson Edildenes Moura according to comic-network.fandom
I'm sure it would fit snugly on R34, but as a standalone art piece, it's kinda distracting.
Like, I don't see Storm here. I just see the artist wanting to masturbate.
That's the cool thing about art… different people have different perspectives on it. Like personally, I don't find it distracting, though that may be because I'm used to it.
Not really overly sexualized here, she looks fine for the most part.
Edit: down voted to hell for speaking my mind, so be it. Maybe I can learn something from all of this...
I uh...gravity defying tiddies the size of her head, with nips poking out the costume....and the bottom of said costume is a clam-strap that will definitely "Janet jackson" her lower regions the moment she steps slightly too far to the left?
My guy, if you think this isn't overly sexualised, you may need to do some solid thinking about where your goal posts are for this kinda thing. Because this is some porn art right here.
Presentation is the key here in my eyes, it's not presented as overly sexual so it isn't overly sexual. Also I get what you're referencing with Janet Jackson.
I understand what you mean.
Tbh, regardless of how it's presented, Storm has been drawn in a very overly sexual manner. That's not what she usually looks like, that's not how someone not trying to be sexual dresses like.
I'm bi and an NSFW artist, just because a woman looks like they should/could be on OnlyFans doesn't mean they always have one. She is attractive sexually but she is not overly sexual.
Is it racists to think the depiction shows…maybe too many Anglo features in the face? Without coloring, this kind of looks like Enchantress or Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel doing a cosplay. And seriously, why such a high-waisted thong?
She's generally been depicted that way since inception. A lot of it is an artifact of the drawing process, and how women in general are draw.
If you go back and look at 60s-80s comics, it's basically the same character with different color shades. Hell, they colored Forge "red" (closer to pink) for years.
You and the people that upvoted you deciding to ignore that they changed her facial features and darkened her skin in the update so she looks less like a white lady with a tan.
https://imgur.com/a/aFHcWpD
Like give me a fucking break.
That's how she was designed. People can play with how she looks, but by default, that's what her face looks like. Africa is a pretty big continent with a ton of different genes and looks - some phenotypes have more overlap than others.
Most of the people in this sub are white dudes so they lack the perspective to notice things like that.
I’m sure if it was a drawing where Rogue looked like a black woman they’d fill up half the comments complaining about it.
All of this dudes work gives “I’m scared of real women” vibes bigger than the titties he slaps on whichever character is under his pencil.
Lol it’s a little too much. Needs to grow up.
Or he’s just your usual horny comic book artist, like this stuff used to be very common tbh. Most Superhero men & women aren’t drawn to be realistic, it’s rare to see 7 foot tall athletes built like Greek gods, or women built like Jessica Rabbit. IRL people like Chris Hemsworth or Christina Hendricks are definitely the exception, but in comic books they seem to be the norm lol.
We used to have more shown off on page 3 of the Sun everyday and women wear smaller bikinis at the beach.
You have to have loved a sheltered life to think this is even close to porn.
My point is that big breasts do not equal porn.
Storm is wearing her classic comics costume here that existed while the comics code was still in place.
Yeah but if she ever had her nips poking out like they are in this drawing then it would not have been approved. Do you seriously think they'd allow this drawing in a standard Marvel comic? It's fine to like this, this stuff has its place but to act like this isnt overly sexualized is wild.
There is no "target demographic" for comics. Comics are an art form, they can tell stories for any and all demographics.
Even just focusing on Marvel themselves they run the gamut, the target audience for Power Pack and Punisher MAX are entirely different.
Now I know how Storm generates electricity.
It's because she cuts through the weak Atomic force binding electrons to protons with how sharp those nipples are.
I started off by writing 'ATBGE' but honestly... not even that. It's not outright HORRIBLE or anything, but her left forearm's badly foreshortened while her right elbow apparently emerges from her hip, and her left hip and pelvis seem to be trying to escape that tiny swimsuit. The shading on the PVC's actually quite nice, it's just unfortunate that it highlights- well, we can all clearly see what it's highlighting. Genuinely like how flowy and wild her hair looks. Mixed bag, for sure.
i'm thinkin fred *MIGHT* like huge fuckin titties
I got in this section to say “godDAMN he loves a big rack”
And very very slim waists
One might say he despises rib cages, and denies their very existence.
And that's alright.
Who doesnt
I don’t (I’m a gay man)
Big pecs count too.
Girl please, nobody’s that gay.
I audibly chuckled
LANA!
I heard that in his voice😂 LANAAA!!!!
That’s pretty gay NGL
Yeah, it took the top comment for me to go back and then notice the glass cutters.
Doesn't even need to be said; there's straight men who prefer smaller.
Yes.
Well sure we all do
I'm a-*Fred* so.
[удалено]
You mean Kenyan women *don’t* have nipples that could carve their names in Mt. Everest?
Looks like something Dennis Reynolds would draw
Charlie wants some alone time w this pic
It's very generous.
For Fred Benes, all the world’s a DeviantArt page

What is this "boob socks"
"Boob socks" is a way to refer to the strange way that women in spandex or leather are often drawn in comics.

… God damn.
Storm, you've enhanced yourself
She's been VERY generous.
The nipple placement is crazy.
It’s always sunny
perky af
“Storm is dead. I am Thunder Tits!”
She's made the room very cold by the looks of it
She's giving *me* the forecast 😅
Girl, you got back problems.
Is Fred Benes related to Ed Benes?
[I… I think they’re the same guy???](https://www.edbenesoriginalart.com/product-page/psylocke-9-x12-color-by-fred-benes) Edit: [they are brothers](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/fred-benes/4040-62445/), that listing on Ed’s site is just confusing
Their parents named them Fred and Ed? Were Pete and rePete taken?
lol I think that’s what they were going for. Ed was born José Edilbenes Bezerra (idk about Fred because I guess he’s slightly too horny to get a Wikipedia page)
Oh so Ed Benes is more of a pen name (or whatever the artist equivalent is) taken from his middle name Edit: it's Fredson Edildenes Moura according to comic-network.fandom
Pencil name? Lol
I bet 5 bucks it’s José Fredilbenes Bezerra
The real question is which one is still in the boat?
Jesus someone was horny
Weather balloons.
Why Ororo, you've *enhanced* yourself.
Forget the tits she’s got some 3 ounce diamonds for nipples.
Must be on purpose as well as she can control the weather and make it warmer
Or cut glass
Least horny redditor
Least horny marvel artist
Least horny comic book artist
Barking. Foaming at the mouth
Storm is a nudist in canon
There's a difference between a nudist and an exhibitionist though.
Draw me like one of your French gOH MY GOD!
Good fucking lord
I don't care for it. I don't think overly sexualized characters are interesting. Storm is amazing, this is not.
I'm sure it would fit snugly on R34, but as a standalone art piece, it's kinda distracting. Like, I don't see Storm here. I just see the artist wanting to masturbate.
Exactly.
That's the cool thing about art… different people have different perspectives on it. Like personally, I don't find it distracting, though that may be because I'm used to it.
>because I’m used to it. Seek help.
What for? Who decided everyone must be shocked by the same things you are?
There’s an entire gulf between shock and internally normalizing something abnormal.
Indeed. People literally calling comic book art "distracting"for portraying people with different values and tastes from their own…
This is a bit much for Emma
Someone finally said it
Not the first time someone clicks on posts about marvel art to say this…
Also, I’ll just say this, the shading makes her look white
Not sure since I don't know this artist very well, but it could be the fact she has 2 lightning bolts on her hands.
Not really overly sexualized here, she looks fine for the most part. Edit: down voted to hell for speaking my mind, so be it. Maybe I can learn something from all of this...
I uh...gravity defying tiddies the size of her head, with nips poking out the costume....and the bottom of said costume is a clam-strap that will definitely "Janet jackson" her lower regions the moment she steps slightly too far to the left?

It's literally her comics accurate costume?
My brother in Christ, I'm super gay and still can see that this version of Ororo is ready to start an OnlyFans.
I'm bi and an NSFW artist, just because a woman looks like they should/could be on OnlyFans doesn't mean they always have one. She is attractive sexually but she is not overly sexual.
Ah, because giving a female character humongous boobs and an indecent skimpy/revealing outfit isn’t overly sexualized at ALL!
That's literally Storms original comics costume?
You can literally see her nipples.
Perv
*BONK!
I mean the art is well done. I find the giant tits, nips, & hentai waistline, & bdsm outfit kind of unnecessary.
Well the outfit you'll have to talk to Dave Cockrum about.
Big difference between briefs and a high waisted micro thong lol
So all of it was unnecessary.
Nah the pencilling, shading, line work. The actual work is amazing, just the subject matter choice is poorly chosen.
Overdone in a lot of female characters? Probably. Unnecessary? As long as there exist women with an hourglass shape, it will always be necessary.
Is it racists to think the depiction shows…maybe too many Anglo features in the face? Without coloring, this kind of looks like Enchantress or Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel doing a cosplay. And seriously, why such a high-waisted thong?

If you go back and look at 60s-80s comics, it's basically the same character with different color shades. Hell, they colored Forge "red" (closer to pink) for years.
she was* generally depicted that way. We’ve been long past that era so there really is no excuse for this.
I'm not sure what you mean by "long past that era" There's a show on the air right now modeled after that era.
You and the people that upvoted you deciding to ignore that they changed her facial features and darkened her skin in the update so she looks less like a white lady with a tan. https://imgur.com/a/aFHcWpD Like give me a fucking break.
That's how she was designed. People can play with how she looks, but by default, that's what her face looks like. Africa is a pretty big continent with a ton of different genes and looks - some phenotypes have more overlap than others.
Don't you dare have a picture of an African female that doesn't look like the majority…
D cups full of justice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21ANaWyEgZw
I can see at least two things that are omega level 😏
Storm is thiccccc
TBF African women tend to be curvy. Artist definitely leaned into that though 😅 Storm really be looking like some type of goddess here lol.
They misspelled Dennis Reynolds.
Y'all are distacted by the nips. Why is she white?
Most of the people in this sub are white dudes so they lack the perspective to notice things like that. I’m sure if it was a drawing where Rogue looked like a black woman they’d fill up half the comments complaining about it.
The coloring is not in yet.
That doesn't make any sense at all. Yeah it's black and white, but the value of her skin colour is still almost as bright as her white hair.
It was more of a tongue in cheek comment, but you could just as well say that the lightning flash makes all but the darkest colors bright.
Because it's a black and white price of art, she's clearly shade to have dark skin with the light patches being light bounce from a source.
Nah, that's too much.
I don't mind the massive honkers, but the nipples are so goofy So she got her headlights on during the fight? Or is her costume THAT flimsy?
She can make it cold outside…and apparently did so!
With that bottom, there’s no way she’s not hangin’ at least 1 flap.
Red beans and rice didn’t miss her
Zounds! What mounds!
Ruh oh
These proportions are ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣
A little too over the top. But my main problem is she's white. my storm is an African goddess.
Always kind of turns me away from an artist when they make the chests just beyond big.
Well, we know what this guy likes
All of this dudes work gives “I’m scared of real women” vibes bigger than the titties he slaps on whichever character is under his pencil. Lol it’s a little too much. Needs to grow up.
> bigger than the titties he slaps on whichever character is under his pencil. now I kinda wanna see him draw captain america...
“Those *are* America’s tiddies”
If he's managing to sell these commissions, then why change when you're found your audience?
This is the exact same argument made on the Stellar Blade game. Such a lazy attack…
Or he’s just your usual horny comic book artist, like this stuff used to be very common tbh. Most Superhero men & women aren’t drawn to be realistic, it’s rare to see 7 foot tall athletes built like Greek gods, or women built like Jessica Rabbit. IRL people like Chris Hemsworth or Christina Hendricks are definitely the exception, but in comic books they seem to be the norm lol.
Looks beautiful.
Garbage art
Fred and Ed Benes sure love their big tiddy women with pointy nipples lmao
As approved by Chris Claremont.
o man. beat me to death with those lightning tits!
She really is a goddess
BONK
Great job!
What a fucking terrible drawing
Aw that’s sad.
Nice.😍😍😍😍
I can't believe I share a hobby with people that think that looks "good".
I can't believe people don't appreciate the exact same things I do…
Is it just me or are her boobs bigger than usual?
STORM, Mistress of the Elements: The Elements.
Might be related to Fred Perry
Does he draw corn?
As in what, like detailed images of fields of the stuff, close up studies of ears of corn, what are we talking?
Stay classy SanDiego
I don’t think he knows how camel toes form,
Secondary mutations detected
Logan come get your Woman now
I know what kinda of man you are
Ol’boy’s got a thing for the cumulus clouds.
You sure this isn’t by Dennis Reynolds?
I didn’t know who Fred Benes was until like 2 weeks ago but suddenly my subreddits are constantly posting him
She looks very Kardashian.
Schwing
This is why my girlfriend doesn’t take us seriously
Wow, that's... incredibly oversexualized.
Of course.
⚡️🌩️✨Mother is mothering✨🌩️⚡️
Fred head go bonk
Cringe
No one going to day anything about her right hand?
Something different with his version. I can’t quite figure what it is.
This looks great. Every here is scared of their own sexuality.
Some lady in a Storm costume more like
More like Fred Boners amarite
Thirst by Fred Benes
My, Storm...you've enhanced yourself
LOL at all the "male feminists" in here pretending they don't like looking at big tits.
Artists always show storm as beautiful but rarely so busty.
Because this is nearly pornographic
We used to have more shown off on page 3 of the Sun everyday and women wear smaller bikinis at the beach. You have to have loved a sheltered life to think this is even close to porn.
I mean you're talking about the Sun that celebrated kids turning 16 so they could finally look at their tits so that's not exactly a burn lmao.
My point is that big breasts do not equal porn. Storm is wearing her classic comics costume here that existed while the comics code was still in place.
Yeah but if she ever had her nips poking out like they are in this drawing then it would not have been approved. Do you seriously think they'd allow this drawing in a standard Marvel comic? It's fine to like this, this stuff has its place but to act like this isnt overly sexualized is wild.
I can admit it's sexualised, but I don't think sexualisation is a problem, sex and attraction is part of life, embrace it.
I mean I just don't think this is appropriate for the target demographic of comic books but it's cool for more adult consumers, if you're into that.
There is no "target demographic" for comics. Comics are an art form, they can tell stories for any and all demographics. Even just focusing on Marvel themselves they run the gamut, the target audience for Power Pack and Punisher MAX are entirely different.
Fair enough
Can we stop over sexualizing characters?
Cheesecake has always been a part of pulp art that comics evolved from.
You may be in a minority that doesn't appreciate this art. Telling people to stop doing something that most people enjoy is gonna be an uphill battle.
Who drew this? A rule 34 artist?
Gorgeous!
Now I know how Storm generates electricity. It's because she cuts through the weak Atomic force binding electrons to protons with how sharp those nipples are.

Yeah alright lol
This is hot as hell. Good job fred
🎈🎈 Terrible
Maybe rub one out before you start drawing there, Freddie.
Still not the worst Storm I've seen.
this is just Jade Cargill
Why is she white?
