Helga was always my favorite for…reasons…👀

Inspiration and reference from phia.cos on IG with her Helga Sinclair cosplay.

I am attempting to animate my fav subtle acting scene from Netflix’s Teenage Bounty Hunters. Why? Because it’s quarantine and I lost my mind months ago. But also because Devon Hales acts the heck outta nuanced moments and I AM LIVING FOR IT.

April may be the queen of my gay heart, but Ellen is the queen of my nerdy heart. ❤️🛴

threw together a quick little narrated video showing the Photoshop layer breakdown for my Valentina piece! It’s actually a pretty simple process when you get down to it 👌🏼

Creating art had been like pulling teeth lately. With motivation in the dumps, I decided to run back to traditional media to mix things up. Thumb-nailing a comp and preparing a canvas board. And yes, that is ivy from my yard as I need it for reference. #ladyknight #oilpainting #conceptart

“Stay warm!” “I will…”

My favorite show, Call the Midwife, continues to blow my mind and make me cry every week…so obviously I had to draw fanart.

Leela is fantastic!  I’ve been a great admirer of hers for many years and have the privilege of sculpting maquettes of her characters for her #ThreeMusketeers project (yes, it’s still happening, I promise!).  Spread the word, help awesome clients hire her!!

[bethany0hno]

Spending my evening doing important adult-like decision making...like leveling up in #DnD

[bethany0hno]

Every time I come into my studio to sculpt, I spend about ten minutes cleaning my station and tools; having everything in order helps the creative process! ...also I'm a clean freak.

[bethany0hno]

Preparing my sculpting space and using my new, huge printer to print out reference for toerning's commissioned Milady maquette!! Can't wait to get started!

Disney vs. 7 early fairytales 

[calanthesfeuillemort]

The 1812 version of Snow White is even worse when you consider that the girl was only seven years old in the tale (plus her unconscious body ended up being carted around by the prince until one of his servants accidentally woke her up).  Also, in The Little Mermaid, the mermaid’s unable to speak because she had her tongue cut out >__<

But I’d love to see faithful adaptations of the original tales.  Especially Bluebeard.  We need a Bluebeard adaptation.

[maliceandvice-deactivated201512]

Actually, the original-original pre-Grimm Brothers’ stories that were passed around Europe via oral tradition are nowhere near as violent as the Grimm’s made them. Cinderella’s stepsisters were never ugly and kept their eyes, Snow White’s mother was not even a villain (instead a group of bandits were), and instead of spending the whole story napping Sleeping Beauty outwitted a dangerous bandit leader, wouldn’t let him sleep with her, and saved herself. 

The original oral stories were radically changed by the Brothers Grimm to fit their personal and political beliefs. Most notably, they often added in female characters solely for the purpose of making them evil villains and took away most of the heroines’ agency and intelligence. Both brothers belonged to a small fanatical sect of Catholicism that vilified women because of the idea of Original Sin and Wilhelm in particular had a particularly deep hatred of women. The Grimms were actually pretty horrible people. Those cannibalistic queens and ugly stepsisters and the mass amount of violence against women didn’t exist until the Grimms wanted them to. Their ideas stuck so soundly though that we now assume they were in the original tales and that these terrible characters and ideas come out of some perceived barbaric Old World culture. But in truth they’re really the Grimms’ weird obsession with hating women showing through. The original oral folklore focused on the heroes’ and heroines’ good deeds and used them as ways to teach cultural norms and a society’s rules and encouraged girls to be quick-witted and street-savvy instead of passive princesses, and the Grimms promptly stripped that all away.

"Grimms Bad Girls and Bold Boys" by Ruth Bottingheimer is an excellent book on this

[archgynoid]

We had to read The Book of Lost Things for school and it’s Grimm level crazy 

[theroguefeminist]

Not only that, you’re skipping out a really important thing: the brother’s grimm got those tales from WOMEN, women were the ones who would tell these tales orally and the brother’s grimm took them, altered them to be sexist and never gave the women credit. You can read Clever Maids the Secret History The Grimm Fairytales for more info

Batgirl Redesign

[bikiniarmorbattledamage]

Reminder that we’re here to appreciate every kind of practical warrior woman’s costume, including superhero examples.

Obviously my favorite part on the model sheet is “Leather jacket, NOT spandex!” note… kinda sad it needs to be noted, though.

~Ozzie

I love how “spandex” in comics is always somehow vacuum sealed… it must make getting dressed a lot of fuss.

More about this awesome new image for Batgirl also happening at dcwomenkickingass.
