Hate to tell you, but ballet shoes DO LOOK LIKE THAT. I don't even know what this fandom is, but yes, not every single shoe/pose is done en pointe.

The more you know!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah that what was I was thinking.

[(Anonymous)]

This was what I was thinking, too. Like, maybe the tip is a bit too pointed, but that could be the angle. If the OP means that it's not en pointe and it should be, then OP needs to learn more about ballet.

[visp]

Well, the shoe looks like a toe shoe, which no, shouldn't be able to do that.

[oftheark]

Actually, yes, pointe shoes should be able to do that. In fact, you can't dance in them unless they do.

[visp]

Pointe shoes have a box that somehow flattens and also bends backwards? And it seems to have no shank. Huh, that's something I never knew before. How fascinating.

[oftheark]

In the artwork, she is on demi-pointe which is something you need to be able to do in pointe shoes. I'm also not really sure how you can tell there's no shank, since it's on the inside of the shoe, but that's not out of the realm of possibility. Dancers abuse our pointe shoes to suit our comfort and some do remove a good portion of the shank. I tended to simply break mine at my arch point.

[(Anonymous)]

Tutu's left shoe looks as if it has a heel, though -- maybe that's what the OP is referring to? The pose is a little awkward, too, though of course I'm no ballet expert.

[oftheark]

I don't see a heel, but the shading is hard to tell from the small size. The right one definitely doesn't and it wouldn't make sense for one shoe to have a heel and the other not. I take issue with many, many other things, including the pose, but since the OP specifically pointed (HA!) out the shoes that's all I'm going to focus on as well. :)

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't notice the other shoe first time around! D: I don't want to dwell on it, though, since it's so rare seeing Princess Tutu fanart (which is a travesty, considering how wonderful a series it is).

[(Anonymous)]

It's not that she's on demi-pointe, it's that the shape of the shoe is weird looking - the part around her toe is flat and wedged in a way that the box of a pointe shoe wouldn't be, and there's no shank showing (the back is flat and uniformly pink. What shoe, pointe or techique, looks like that?)


But that wouldn't be a big deal if the pose weren't so incorrect. It's more the combination of the weird-looking shoe and the bad technique in the pose combined that just make me feel "ug, this was drawn by someone who doesn't know about ballet and didn't do the research to make up for it."

Still gorgeous art, though, honestly I like it. But I would like it more if it were correct.
