Puro Magic broke Calstone Light O's record at this year's (2026) Ibis Summer Dash with her time of 53.5 seconds. Last year (2025), she actually matched the record.
Fun fact: this was a real execution method used in ancient Rome called poena cullei.
Known in English as the "penalty of the sack" (as stated in the artist's commentary), the death penalty involved placing a person in a sack alongside a viper, a monkey, a rooster and a dog, and then throwing them into a body of water. A very awful and very specific way to die lol
This one has been flagged twice for anatomy issues. Both times, it was approved again after the flag. I do understand that, because, at first glance, I thought the anatomy looked pretty perfect, and neither flagger described the issue they saw.
The point where the issue began to stand out to me was while following the line of her bangs from her one visible eye across to where the other ought to be, on the other side of her face. Her hair masks the issue a bit at a glance, but following the bangs helps show that her other eye really should be at least slightly visible, even behind the bangs. The hair also covers the jawline on that side of her face. When trying to imagine where the jawline should be, I noticed that her shoulder, on the viewer's left, is much too high for her head to be so low behind her knees like that. Her neck would be bent so sharply forward from the base that it hurts to imagine it. The way the hair hides the jawline also makes it easy to misinterpret the view as her face just kind of melting into her chest.
Her shoulders are drawn as if she was laying with her back flat on the floor, with a straight spine. Her head, however, is placed as if her spine were curled instead of straight. To match her head position, her shoulders would have to appear further down the image relative to her knees, and we'd be able to see a bit of her neck, continuing the curve of the rest of her spine.
Incidentally, I also find it impossible to both keep my knees together and separate my ankles when bringing my thighs above a 90 degree angle with the base of my spine. I think this is largely due to fact that, barring dislocation of the joint, the quadriceps (and underlying femur) ultimately collide with the pelvis when attempting outward rotation of the hip joint from that position.
