Yeeees, more people talking about Orion and Artemis, AND how he's a giant. Absolutely love their story, which is why I see them as inspiration for my Robotech OCs Donna and Regan

A short comic I’ve done for @ibenkrutt

[fyeahgiants]

If you look down and see the stars, what will you see when you look up?

[ID: digital fanart of Zerxus Ilerez from Exandria Unlimited: Calamity. He stands in the palm of a giant, clawed, bloodstained red hand. Beneath him is a plaza; its tiles form the rays of a sun, but where the centre should be is a void in which a dark, stary sky can be seen. End ID]

Reblogging this oldie to invite everyone to write about their favorite archetypes. ✨

And also, to elaborate on gentle giants:

This is one of my favorite tropes visually and aesthetically — large vessels of other-ness and immense power being kind, attentive, breaking expectations and prejudice.

Like Titan who I visually codified as militaristic like a Warhammer 40k guy illustration (I love those), but he is just a little man going through intense existential crisis. He needs help too.

To be kind, empathetic, and vulnerable despite authority, size, and powers, is subversive, punk.

I also enjoy writing giants (and characters in general) that struggle and try to be curious about the world and attuned to their own needs besides abuse and external influence.

Miyazaki's heroines are a *chef's kiss* example of this.

To write and paint about all this is also insurgent, I think?

I don't know a single person in the giant/tiny, borrower, you name it, fandom — or fanartists and fic writers in general — who don't reflect on their creations and passions as something to kind of thread carefully and not expose to everyone, as those can be seen as silly, 'girly' (I can go on for months about this term alone but here is a start).

Meanwhile yo go to a cinema or watch your streaming thing and there's blatant plagiarism of that indie comic you love, or teams working in crunch conditions, harassment, underpaid, being exploited. It also has the same narratives and dynamics you enjoy — romance, hero journeys, mary sues, sexual fantasies; but those are for some reason more valid, less silly, than your creations. Be careful with those impulses to water yourself and your passions down.

ANYWAY I'm going on a big tangent yea tl;dr: big gentle characters = comfy.... nice 🌼🙏🕊🎆🎁💚💚🍛
