i think you're right about the shoe ~ and to get really picky, the cross leg ought to be in front of the other guy, not behind, so there's something completely off about the way the body is turned to begin with.

though it doesn't hold up to scrutiny, i think the effect (or intention) is clear. i mean, at least it looks like a person sitting in a chair ~ hahahahaha ~

i'll have to be more careful about my contortionist anatomy ~ it's one of the things i definitely need to work on.
