Does she have six fingers (is thumb a finger?) or am I crazy? #1




Noticed this when I was reading a mag and this image was in one page. Now the finger number 5 can't be her thumb unless she was some kind of mutant and it's on the wrong side of the lollypop.

It's pretty mindboggling that "errors" like this can happen and go all the way through print in projects as colossal as GTAIV. Feel free to post other marketing fuck-ups and such.

I guess 5 is supposed to be her thumb, but I agree that its placement and size don't make any sense.

Once you see it you can't unsee it -- I liked this picture :/

Now that you mention it, the pinky looks like its wrapping and merging with the ring finger

great find what a fuckup. How could the artist not notice this. Is this also in the game? Can someone confirm that this is the final art?

It is. Just google the image and it was in the magazines too. EDIT: I can't fucking believe nobody noticed this before

Fixed (as in lollipop position)? But amazingly, she still doesn't look right.

If it is, then thats one ugly finger...

Fix just does prove even more that the fifth finger is nowhere near being a thumb.

It can't be. The lolly goes through it and it even has it's own joint wrinkles :)

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

By the way, to those who have played the game - is this chick even a character in it or just some fancy incidental artwork? Been watching my flatmate play GTAIV on and off and no sign of her six-fingered sexiness yet.

That's the most logical conclusion, but the shadow certainly makes it look like there's an extra finger.

Still doesn't explain why the pink looks like it's merging with the ring and/or the middle finger... still, I bet she does great hand jobs, is she interactive in GTAIV?

The '5th' finger in this occludes the white stick, where as the OP's post has the stick occluding the finger.

But the shading is still present in the box art picture.

Itxaka's fix has the most correct looking picture in there, even if it is a hasty job.

I've always ended up in a trance when looking at the lollipop, imagining the bliss my penis would be going through in it's place.

Now that we're at it just look at how fat her middlefinger is!

What? That would mean it's as long as her index finger. And how the hell would she be holding the lolly??
