Dude, how close are you to that ass and what are you doing there? Never mind, I don't really need to know.

On mine I could easily see the grooves from a normal viewing distance of a few feet. the pictures don't do a great job of conveying that but in person you can easily see them.

That looks like a black line if you are standing in front of her back. Cool.
If you move, the black line will appear and disappear, depending the line is running on a hill or in a valley.
Not cool.

The groove is fine ...and its a great way to make the fishnet stocking tight around the legs.

All that needs to be done ...and I hope SSC will include this step in their process next time they use this method for fishnet stockings ...is to fill the grove with a black filler (not sure what material to use). But by filling the grove with a black filler, then the grove looks more like a stocking seam.

And I don't care for a groove cut into my beautifully sculpted statue, especially one with a nice ass on her like Black Canary.
Just forget about the black line and do it like Prime One's Zatanna. Looks nice and clean with no damage to the statue.

This is a beautiful Zatanna. Maybe we'll see her before the end of this century. And yes, she doesn't need a groove which looks like a giant stretch mark.

That is just concept. We have no idea how her legs will look in execution

I agree. The groove is sneaky, but definitely clever and preserves more of the contour than a bunched up fabric seam would, in theory at least.

In execution, the closest I've ever seen to near-seamless mixed media fishnets are on very small scale statues like the Iron Studios movie Harley, which has single seams running down the inner thighs and only gets away with it due to its straight-legged pose on a thin-legged actress.

Once you increase the size, the bends from either the musculature or pose require an inner and outer side seam--such as with PCS's 1:3 Chun Li--or one larger one down the back of the legs to prevent excess "webbing". The only way to flatten the latter is to increase the size of the "stripe" which also looks unflattering. The groove is potentially the cleanest solution, but Sideshow of all companies nailing it on the first try doesn't read like a scenario anyone would expect.
