Catwoman Core: The Posing Guide for Hot Nerds
Welcome to Catwoman Core, your official posing guide to looking like you definitely know where the bodies are buried.
Whether you’re building a cosplay persona, leveling up your selfie game, or just want to move through space like a villain with a vendetta and great thighs, this guide’s for you.
This is about body language, angles, lighting, and turning confidence into a performance. Gotham’s baddest didn’t slouch through life, and neither should you.
It’s Not Standing. It’s Storytelling.
Every pose should feel like you’re mid-scene.
Are you about to purr or hiss?
Laugh at someone’s misfortune?
Steal something expensive and someone completely emotionally unavailable?
Tips:
Pop your hip. Let it lead.
Push your shoulders forward: That says confidence.
Arch your back slightly: That says danger (and core strength).
Soften your hands but keep them expressive. Point, claw, cradle, or dangle.
Chin down, eyes up. This is not a mugshot. It’s an invitation to regret.
Body Angles & Villain Shapes
Think tension and curve. You’re playing chess with your own silhouette.
Key poses to master:
The Lean: Elbows on knees, eyes up, like you’re bored and deadly.
The Perch: Squat or crouch to take up vertical space like a predator.
The Twist: Torso one direction, hips another. It creates visual drama.
Quick rule: If it feels too normal, you’re not doing enough.
Lighting Tips for That Cinematic Drama
There’s no “right” light. Just the one that tells your story.
Natural Light Pros:
Free, soft, and flattering
Easiest near windows or golden hour
Cons:
Changes constantly
You’re at the mercy of clouds and clocks
Artificial Light Pros:
Total control
Colored LEDs = instant mood
Cons:
Can look harsh without diffusion
Requires setup (but so does greatness)
Three lighting rules:
Avoid straight-on shots. Rotate your body and your light.
Use a timer or remote. No one looks cool mid-reach.
Highlights and shadows = texture and tension.
Ready to ruin some timelines (and maybe some lives)?
