lenú and donna and how they defined part of their self in relation to lila and laura. lenú tries to free herself from that whilst donna, even more after laura's death, dissolved herself into laura - the relationship with james being the prime example.

Hello! The way you draw and paint faces is so stunning I can stare at your characters for hours! How did you get so knowledgeable about the face and the different planes and mastering the perspective of it? I use guidelines for proportion but something is always off about it, usually the eyes :S

Hiya, thank you so much for your kind ask and so sorry for the late reply. 💜

I have a few tips on rendering already up here on my blog, but I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can! Regarding the different planes and proportions of the face - I tend to observe a lot of people in my day to day life, whether I'm out for a walk or grocery shopping. I know it sounds weird, but it is a helpful method to extend your "facial feature library". With that in mind, I segment the facial features and planes into different shapes, which in result lets some of my faces look more angular. You can practice this breakdown on any reference as well - I highly recommend that if you're just starting out! I never used guidelines personally, but I recently got my hands on a few anatomy books that are super helpful. - TB Choi's Anime and Manga Characters - Michael Mattesi's Force - Stonehouse's Anatomy For practicing from reference, I would recommend Artstation's marketplace. There are tons of royalty free references to choose from! Hope this helps!

Google Lens translation from Yukari Fujimoto's interview with Kentaro Miura (2000).

He really said "they're not fucking, but aside from that it's pretty gay yeah" we rest our case

I was reminded of the perfect quote from Sean T. Collins’ review of Breaking Bad in 2012:

By failing to indulge every whim of the the male antiheroes around whom their shows are built, the women become obstacles to those men getting exactly what they want when they want it at all times, which is the core fantasy of antihero fiction. Cold cunning, ruthlessness, rage, self-interest, a propensity for physical violence – we gender these unheroic characteristics as male, and celebrate them; passivity, bitterness, grief, emotional enmeshment, a knack for attacking and deflating egos – we gender these unheroic characteristics as female, and loathe them. Skyler White, Betty Francis, Megan Draper, Catelyn Stark, Sansa Stark, Cersei Lannister, Carmela Soprano: On the sole count of “being women,” Fan Court finds you guilty as charged.

OMFG I've never seen that quote before but this put into words exactly what I mean when I say if Cersei had been a man, she would have been praised and adored by everyone. Fandoms always endorse male characters worst behaviors, excuse and brush over their evil deeds and coddle them "uwu meow meow baby" but when it comes to female characters, if she shows any flaw or make a bad decision, she is the "worst bitch ever and deserve to die in the most painful way"...

Also, this lowkey reminds me this post on Justine Larbalestier's blog, I don't know her or her works tbh, but what she says is very true, "the same behaviour from a male character is okay but someone inexcusable in a female" And that post is from 2009 and still stands to this day 12 years after! One day I'll need to read the comments, but I'm lazy 😪 Almost in 2022, and the (internalized) misogyny is still going strong, UGH

Love this quote mentioned Sansa and Cat as well as Cersei tho, because those 3 women were the first female characters I fell for when I started the show and then, you quickly find out they are the top 3 of the most hated female characters by the fandom, like... 💀
