Trying to sketch again after a long hiatus. This is a study of “The Royal Hunt of Dido and Aeneas” by Filippo Falciatore, ~1735.

For the past year, I’ve felt disconnected from my art. It came down to being overworked and unable to find the bandwidth. This summer, I’ve decided to finally cross that desert and seek artistic life again. I bought a new sketchbook and some Posca pens, and here’s page one!

“At a lull in the entertainment, the man looked at me and smiled.”

- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

King Dice from the 1930s-inspired game, “Cuphead”. It is rather rejuvenating to draw someone so unabashedly sleezy. Copic markers. 2018.

“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”

– Theodore Roosevelt

I expected it to have trouble with “Dik Dik.” “Duiker” could have been worse. Didn’t expect the word “antelope” to be captioned as “anal.”

He’s back! Loving the updated look for Tarkin in the new “Bad Batch” trailer. Harkening back to that more Art Deco, Clone-Wars model, and less towards the “Rebels” one. Also, he has a dramatic coat in one of the new comic books? Threw that in too... Quinacridone Red pigment, pencil, on bristol paper. December 2020.

I just want books and tv where femininity and historical feminine clothing and roles aren’t shat on in the name of progressive feminism. If I have to read another book where the heroine complains about her corset or her dress ㅡwhich were worn by every women and unless you were a victorian socialite weren’t organ crushing torture devicesㅡ I will scream. Not every female character has to shun sewing and weaving for a sword! Women’s roles and place in past societies were already undervalued and here we go shitting on the key roles of women in the name of modern progressivism. Someday we will get our turn and our clothes, voices, and roles to be spat on by our descendants and maybe I’ll feel a bit better cause hey we kinda deserve to for what we are doing. Like yes women in historical time periods faced significant social challenges due to their gender but we don’t need to liberate them by making them into the men of that time period.
