I don't think this counts as a bodyscape.

A bodyscape is a close-up of a nude body where the skin is like a landscape.  It doesn't show the whole figure, and the body is depicted in an abstract way.

For example:

Phracker, what a pedant! Of course this is a bodyscape. A bodyscape's focus is singularly on the body, whether partial or whole, and skin tonalities, in such a way to create an interesting topography/geometry. This qualifies.

I thought that was the definition of figure art.  I read somewhere that the difference between a portrait and a figure is that the former depicts someone's personality whereas the latter focuses on the body without regards to the person who inhabits it.

I think I largely agree with that...I would further distinguish a portrait as depicting an *individual* person whereas figure studies can be more than just the form of the body, but also about body language.

Oh... Well, thank you for clearing that up. I assumed "Bodyscape" is basically shape/form/texture/curves/muscles/bones, so whenever I see a model with interesting body structure (like here, muscles, bones curves make up interesting patterns and shapes on body) I usually say her bodyscape looks beautiful. Pretty sure there's a more fitting word than this
