<p>[QUOTE="Born2it, post: 4411134, member: 59977"]I don’t blame you one bit for being fond of him! I would be too. As for the body proportions, I think his legs are longer than they appear from the front. From the back, it looks to me like his sash dips lower in the front, which makes his torso look longer. As someone with a freakishly short torso, it’s something I notice because I do it myself. Also, from the angle of his left calf, it appears his left knee is bent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course he could just be someone with short legs. My ex is such a person. Between my odd proportions and his, we wore almost the same inseam, despite the fact that he was 8 inches taller!</p><p><br /></p><p>The artist may have been limited by the size of the piece he started with, too, but given the apparent skill shown elsewhere, I don’t feel that the proportions are a result of mistake or lack of skill.
