Michael Whelan's cover for Edgar Rice Burroughs' Thuvia, Maid of Mars, the fourth novel in the Barsoom series.
Whelan stated that he originally did not paint any clothes on Thuvia, keeping with Barsoomian tradition. Someone at Del Rey/Ballantine Books (the publisher that commissioned these covers) objected to the nudity. So Whelan used a quick daub of transparent gauche to cover her up. Whelan said the gauche would be easy to remove, if he were inclined to do so, without damaging the rest of the painting.

Michael Whelan “Thuvia, Maid of Mars” by Edgar Rice Burroughs (1979) Source (Whelan’s Bluesky)
“Detailed pencil study of Thuvia and the 8-legged Martian lion in the pose of the cover painting. In the upper right margin is a delicate line drawing of her face in profile as she turns to look over her shoulder.”
“I had to be careful with Thuvia, as everyone on Barsoom goes nude, and yet full-frontal nudity was unacceptable for the cover. By turning her away from the viewer, I thought I had this problem solved, but Lester Del Rey had me add the G-string. The rest of the painting is in acrylics, but I did that G-string in gouache in case I ever get the urge to wipe it off.”

There was a John Carter story kinda like this. A lost civilization could manifest legions of archers to kill invading armies but had to maintain the illusory soldiers even making them die to wounds and lay dead on the battlefield for if it were suspected they weren't real then their killing power would also cease.
Ok here's a question that I don't really think is answerable.
In universes with magic, can someone with an iron will and faith that magic does not exist bypass any effect of magic?
My thinking is that if they believe so solidly that it's not real then they have this kind of psychic barrier around them that any magic interacting with them will cease to function.
Magic trap? Won't go off. Magic fireball? Won't harm them.
But then we get into the deeper issues that a fireball is not just fire, there's also radiant heat associated with it so does the fireball itself fail to hit but the heat scorch them? If you launch an arrow with magic instead of a bow it'll still hit them because it's an arrow and their anti magic barrier won't cancel out momentum.
So there are a lot of limitations.
These are the types of questions that keep me up at night.

I've been reading Thuvia Maid of Mars from Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars series and the antagonists are psychics that manifest spiritual archers which kill the brutish green men of Mars through the power of suggestion and belief.
And... isn't that a lot like the orks from Warhammer 40k?
But Thuvia was written in 1916. This can't be a coincidence right?
