Some illustrations I painted to help celebrate the Official Nima merch drop!! They’re both wearing the new shirt designs. I wanted to experiment with streetwear and graphics. Hope you enjoy it!

It’s the last day of my Kickstarter! To end it, here are two images of my favorite duo, Toki and Ulf! They’re always super fun to paint and I love imagining all their funny adventures. I also want to say thank you to everyone for all the support, it means the world to me! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1906838062/atey-ghailan-an-artistic-journey?ref=1z0q5z&token=dad959bb

Lucy Lawless was not a particularly burly woman, but somehow she made Xena seem like a fucking tank and I don’t understand how.

Don’t get me wrong—she was strong, and certainly not a waif, but more than almost any other female superhero actress I’ve ever seen, Lucy Lawless exuded physical power and weight that I actually believed (when she wasn’t somersaulting in front of a ridiculous greenscreen).

EVERYTHING. ALL OF IT. I DON’T KNOW I’M JUST FEELING EXCEPTIONALLY WARM RIGHT NOW.

I LOVE HER

This is because the tank is not concerned with muscle or endurance. Tank is purely a matter of 60% attitude, 30% mindset, and 110% fuckaroundandfindout.

I've also seen another version of the commentary on this post speculating that she was also SHOT like male action star at the time - which has nothing to do with size, but with posture and staging and yes, attitude. 😊

She definitely was permitted to show -effort- in a way that female action stars often are not. She gets to grunt, yell, make weird angry faces, put FORCE and ANGER and JOY and just, you know. Personality, generally, into her fighting. It makes her feel more real, which means that when she does impressive or impossible things, they also feel more real and thus more impressive.
