WIP Wednesday

On an actual Wednesday, wow. Thank you @greypetrel for the tag 💙!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

1 and 2: ink sketches for the 'OC and symbolism' thingy. Am I making everything more complex than it needs to be? Probably :>

3: old-ish Gwydion (m!Hawke) sketch that I'm trying to paint with a new method. I'm cautiously hopeful about the whole thing. The blue highlights are not a random choice *wink*

4: I had a lot of blue gouache so I randomly painted Isabela - I'm not convinced so I'll probably repaint the whole thing, but I really like that ink sketch in the corner... so I'm showing that instead.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Tag time! Maybe @pinkfadespirit or @pyritefes2? As usual, no pressure whatsoever! 🌼

As a greek person, I'm tired of seeing americans commenting on how greek gods/people should look like (especially when it comes to skin tones being "too dark/too pale" depending on where on the political spectrum said american falls on). If you are not greek, you shouldn't have a say on the matter. Stop getting offended for things us, actual greek people, think are fine, just because you want to find something to complain about/push some agenda, AND STOP TRYING TO TALK OVER US.

(Y/A: this post is about depictions of greek people in art. I don't give a shit about PJO or whatever fantasy book made by an american author is popular these days)

hey can you do me a favour?? Can you go get that nice pristine sketchbook or journal you've been hoarding and put some kind of mark on the first page? Anything will do, like a smudge of graphite or a blob of ink, or perhaps a very scribbly dinosaur. Just put something there. Please, or the dinosaur will be sad.

Look I know Rapunzel paints and Tiana cooks, but if you guys don't think Mulan is the Most Creative Disney Princess, you're wrong.

She's literally introduced in this perfect scene that highlights her whole character, flaws and strengths:

The first time you see her she's:

Cheating, which is totally the opposite of what honor-code General Shang would do.

Undisciplined, which is what going to the army fixes.

Problem-solving—by writing the recitation she can't remember on her wrist—

BUT LISTEN. That last one is the first hint you have that she's the Most Creative Disney Princess. Because guess what? She's not the first young woman to cheat at the matchmaker test. The Matchmaker specifically checks to see if she's cheating when the test begins. But the rest of them wrote their cheat sheet on their fans.

The Matchmaker was prepared for the usual kind of tricks. But Mulan's full of her own ideas, not everyone else's.

You guys know the rest. She dresses up like a soldier—nobody suspects her because the idea that someone would do that never occurs to everyone else. She climbs the pole by tying the medallions around each other when none of the other recruits can figure it out. She lights the cannon by grabbing Mushu instead of searching for flints. She creates an avalanche instead of just taking Shan Yu out. She tricks the Huns by dressing her friends up as concubines. She defeats Shan Yu with his own sword and a bunch of fireworks.

But even beyond problem-solving, Mulan never does things like other people do. She doesn't even do things like other women do.

She doesn't just walk across a bridge, she jumps from pillar to pillar. She doesn't just bring her father tea, she puts a spare teacup in her sleeve because she knows she's clumsy.

Mulan is creative. But you know what that moment proves? That she's not just a representation of all women-versus-men. Mulan is representative of a human, who sees where she has strengths, and sees where she has weaknesses. She uses her strengths to her advantage and works to improve or make up for her weaknesses. She doesn't try to be exactly like a man. She just tries to use what she's got to do the right thing. And finding ways to use what you've got, even if it's not like what everyone else has, is creativity.

A new cover for an upcoming book "Tell me a sto..." about an evolution of popular fairy-tale narratives and their oddities, both fun and gruesome.
