one thing i will say about matt’s vex is that i do love very much that he keeps the like . occasional goofiness of her as well. because like yes of course vex is badass and hot and vm’s quasi leader and she’s highly competent and diplomatic and charismatic and there are many times when laura played her cleverly funny or quippy but there are also many, many times when she played her in a way that makes it clear that vex is also sometimes just a silly guy playing dress up (my beloved) and i really like that in playing a version of vex who is actively fulfilling her Leadership Diplomat Coin Mistress role matt tends to stick to the charming and sarcastic lady that everyone knows and loves but there are moments when vex who did things like make horking noises when her brother talked to keyleth and wrote scanlan a limerick about the time he accidentally tried to fuck his daughter and would show grog her boobs to inspire him and apologized to a bartender because her friends are stupid and so is she comes stumbling out instead of the very put together Grand Mistress of the Grey Hunt™. anyway. this is all just to say that matt’s choice to play vex as giddy about delilah being in laudna’s rib prison was inspired and delightful and i could See the pieces of laura in that interaction in campaign 1 quality cameras in my mind.

Happy Midsummer!

”The Wilderness”
work in progress, extra stuff under the cut

LINK TO ALL MY YELLOWJACKETS ART THUS FAR!
and remember, reblogging helps artist!! ^^ :3
It’s always MOTHER Nature. I’ve already shown this to a few of my mutuals but to explain the symbolism;
she’s a black woman, to sort of explain away the French component of the wilderness. She’s hatian creole. The hair will be in really tight coils/curls, but with a few… oddly placed braids. Hair braiding is just a really common girlhood thing in my opinion. I say oddly placed bc I want it to sorta look like a little girl did them
The wilderness is brutal, it IS survival. It is hungry, it is violent. But unlike man, she is not brutal without reason. She is not evil, she is hungry. To be a woman is to be in constant pain one way or the other, to be born is to die in a sense. In order to feed, to eat, you need to kill something to prosper.
she has a chubby/mid sized body to kind of mimick my own. And to mimick the older beauty standards of being wealthy = more food = more attractive. To strive under the wilderness would acquaint to being well fed. (And like how Greek statues have belly rolls, those r so pretty)
the wilderness in this interpretation isn’t human, the deer “mask” is fused to her face, it is her face.
some drawing details; Akilah’s dead mouse is in the antlers
The body is going to resemble a skinless cadaver, like the muscle models seen in science (or the collosal titan from AOT-)
she’s meant to be foaming at the mouth, to sort of represent the feralness of the girls
I may modify the pose, she’s hunting, stalking, like an animal
I guess at the end of the day, humans are animals.
