So I know I haven’t been on for a long while. While I continue to adore Xena I won’t be doing any fanart and will be posting some of my own art on here for now on. Am currently working on my own website where I’ll be selling prints, stickers and some other cool stuff! Follow along if you’d like.

I know I’m diverting a bit off of Xena but I’ve always thought of creating my own Warrior character which would be more modern. And this would be her sword :)

I been drawing Cat Fae for the last year spontaneously and for the past few days I’ve had this conscript in my head. So here are Fae Spirits. Of course they’re are others.....

PSA

Due to the holidays coming up my art making will slow down quite a bit. I am currently trying to link my accounts together and opening an Redbubble account for those that would be interesting in purchasing any of the pieces I’ve made so far and others I will be making in the future.

P.S: In the meantime I will also be working on a possible enamel pin design. Once that is finalized I will share the design. Thank you all for being so great since I’ve joined Tumblr! I appreciate all of your guys likes, reblogs and comments! 

Sincerly,

Angie

Few months back I played with the idea of drawing out Xena scenes as a means to help me find my style of art. I can proudly say I think I’ve found it :)

I think it's fair to say that the fans are just as much creators of Xena as Tapert/Raimi/Shulian/Stewart/Sears and Friedman is. Let me explain why.

When you're a child you don't realize what you pick up and learn from watching art/entertainment until you get older and rewatch it. You don't understand the themes or the storylines until your mental capacity has expanded on such subjects out of experience or observation. So what happens is this show subconsciously imprints on you and gives you what you need before you even know you need it. And that continues.. Each time you watch it, you see something new in it. This is what makes the show timeless. It's like an art painting that is never finished. Just continues on painting depending on who observes it. And I guess the audience that does observe it doesn't ever realize it holds the paint brush.

And this is true with Xena more than most shows because the fans became a literal part of the production. Missy Good established a professional relationship with the original creators and wrote two of her own episodes that were aired. And because of this, so much of what she's written beyond the show is considered canon. And many other fanfiction writers as well as other types of creators on Xena are taken as canon too. So in a way, while the show ended, the story itself hadn't. And even to this day, it still hasn't. It carries on. Xena and Gabrielle truly are eternal characters. And it's because of us why they are. So the fans are an integral part to what Xena is. How it exists was the original producers/writers job. But how it continues existing is our job. Therefore, in a very literal sense, Xena is alive because we have kept her alive and continue to keep her alive with everything that we create or interpret to do with the Xenaverse.

I have always asked the question who would have succeeded the Warrior Princess and carried on her legacy if the show had ended with both Xena and Gabrielle dying. And I guess I have never answered my own question until now...

We would. We have. We will.
