First encounter

Wasko is baffled that a lady came out from a “falling star” from the sky...meanwhile, Gorski is also surprised but mostly embarrassed by friend, Wasko’s sudden, confusing barrage of questions towards the alien...who is named Nicole. 👀

Nicole’s voyager suit 🌎 The thing on her back is the oxygen tank, which carries loads of it but is very lightweight compared to Earth’s oxygen tanks. She finds out that she can breathe earth’s air though.

I was shot with inspiration so I wanted to draw the good ol’boi, Wasko. This time, in his powered up form. How do you like it?

Giodora

Giodora is my favorite giantess oc. She’s nice, but very shy. She is the most comfortable with Wasko and tolerates the rest of his friends/team.

She has the ability to change her size, but it requires magic to do so. Her original size is her giant form, but she can grow bigger but move slower, which requires less magic. She can shrink down to Wasko’s size though it requires a large amount of magic, but she keeps her immense strength from her giant form.

Wasko and Zhawshkwė sketches

[sugo0]

Here’s the lineart for my new Native character, I’m trying to think of a name for her... but it MIGHT be Zhawshkwė (zh-ow-sh-kweh) which in my people’s language means “blue”... Compared to Wasko, she is a little more traditional than him so she doesn’t wear casual clothing like he does. Wasko and “Zhawshkwė” are also from different tribes so they don’t meet for a while yet. I know she looks way taller and way older than him, but that’s because I haven’t updated his design yet. Wasko is 12 and he’s 4’8” whereas “Zhawshkwė” is 13 at 5’4”... so she is way taller than him lol but that’s because there are a handful of girls that outgrow boys at an earlier age and she happens to be one of those people. Lol he will be taller than her as they get older for sure... if you don’t remember the meaning behind Wasko’s name is means “light” and the actual full spelling is “waskwënénthëgen” which you won’t know how to pronounce lol. But anyways, I’m going to finish her colors soon! Just going to imagine her colors first. Haha.

Blog Post 1: Challenging Disney Myths

           Of all the Disney stories I’ve heard I have one distinct favorite: the myth (or truth?) that Walt Disney is cryogenically frozen. I love the idea of Uncle Walt’s frozen body waiting for medical science to one day revive him, getting reanimated to animate again (he is literally Disney on ice). This story is so pervasive in popular culture that there was an iCarly episode based around the media company “Dingo” having their former leader’s head cryogenically frozen.  Needless to say, after patiently waiting for Janet Wasko to address this story, I was disappointed that she brushed off this myth with a dismissive, “whether this myth is true (it probably is not) it is less important than some of the myths mentioned above.”

            I think this myth is important because it exemplifies how twisted and crazy the stories around Disney the man have become, moreso than some of the other myths Wasko addresses. Frankly, I don’t care that Disney only lived in a small town for a few years; that’s plenty of time to get the feel of a small town to romanticize later. Most of her criticism of Disney seemed to be based in the belief that he was simply a creative animator but I think most people recognize that Disney was a businessman as well. Even if the average public doesn’t know the ridiculous extent of the corporation’s holdings, it’s fairly obvious that they are a business, a business focused on keeping you entertained, but a business all the same. This is why the concluding points of the paper bothered me: why is it so bad that the company is associated with “’family,’ ‘magic,’ ‘happiness,’ and ‘fun’”? I understand that Wasko wanted to argue against Disney, and the man and the corporation clearly have flaws, but considering the violence and heartbreak shown on most media today, can’t we all use a little family and magic in our lives?
