OH FUCK ITS OCTOBER

Have a quick drawing for Halloween

[beeefantastic]

With the rise of ArtFight and @/Tundra.skies (insta) recent post with a drawing of Nivis as my DTIYS prize I decided to post her ref here!! Nivis is a western IceWing who lives along the chilly coast of the IceWing kingdom, she has distant IceWing ancestry but sees herself as a full SeaWing, through and through! She loves dance (as shown by her major) and she wants to learn more about other cultures way of dance and enhance her own! Although she prioritizes grades and academic excellence don’t get on her bad side, dancers can pack a punch! (She’s also up on my ArtFight *wink*)

[greyknight-fr]

Nivis is a Gaoler Seeker who recently returned to it’s home clan IceFallen. This creature no longer resembles the Huntress that it once was, even so its will to serve the IceWarden was strong enough to carry it across land and sea to return to Her.

I learned a lot with this drawing! I was also able to design an idea that I’ve been kicking around: ‘What if a Gaoler fell into the Wyrmwound?’ 

Now that this reference is complete I might be able to do more casual doodles of this beast. :) Really love them as a character and as a design. Would be happy to answer asks specifically for/about Nivis too! (With more drawings!)

Hey, it's been a bit, summer vacation and artfight go to me i'm back! Here is pt 6 of drawing Genshin characters who have bird constellations with wings: Kamisato Ayaka! Her constellation is "Grus Nivis" which according to the wiki means "Snow Crane" which doesn't seem to be a real species of crane. However there is the red-crowned crane which seems to be a symbol of luck and longevity in Japanese culture, so I went with that for the wing design!

[imaginespazzi]

Thanks for sharing, Nivi, such an important article. And look I don’t wanna get on a CC hate train or anything cause I do respect what she’s helped done for the game - like honestly, she was the reason i started to tune in during March Madness last year and quickly became a fan of hers but the way she responded to the criticism that Angel faced after the natty game, just as quickly stopped me from being a fan. She’s had so many opportunities to call out her fans, who are largely the ones that instigate so much of the Angel hate, and did the bare fucking minimum, which is to say almost nothing at all. Her refusal to call it out for what it all is - racism - irks me so bad. Her fans are always so quick to paint her as the victim, but if they expect her peers to stand up for her, then maybe she should start standing up for them too.

There's no denying Caitlin and her popularity's impact on the game She has done a lot in terms of drawing attention to the game. But, to borrow a popular quote, "with great power comes great responsibility" and that's where Caitlin has consistently faltered. I don't care what anyone says, it is in fact her responsibility to use the platform she has earned, to protect her peers, to protect the women of color who are being attacked indirectly because of her.

That interview of hers pissed me off immensely where she said she doesn't see the discourse and acted as if it was because the discourse was *against her*, essentially playing into the victim narrative. And she has done that consistently since, with her comments in other pressers about the reffing. At the very least, if she cannot keep her fans in check, she should be checking her brother and her boyfriend, which, again, is something she hasn't done.

Silence is complicity especially when you are in a position of privilege.

Best Saree Poses in Punjabi Juttis

In the realm of fashion and cultural fusion, the amalgamation of sarees and Punjabi juttis creates a breathtaking symphony of tradition and style. Sarees, with their timeless grace, and Punjabi juttis, with their vibrant ethnicity, together form a mesmerizing ensemble that resonates with both heritage and contemporary fashion. In this article, we'll explore the art of striking the perfect pose adorned in a saree, complemented by the traditional charm of Punjabi juttis.

The Allure of Saree Poses

Saree, a six to nine-yard wonder, transcends time and trends. The elegance it exudes is not just in the fabric but also in the way it is draped and carried. To capture the essence of this timeless attire, one must master the art of striking captivating poses. Here are some quintessential saree poses that not only highlight the grace of the ensemble but also capture attention effortlessly:

1. The Classic Drapes Pose

Embrace the traditional by opting for classic saree drapes like the Nivi, Bengali, or Gujarati style. These poses accentuate the beauty of the saree's fabric and detailing. Capture the intricacies of the drape with a poised yet natural stance, radiating confidence.

2. Twirling Gracefully in the Lehenga Saree Pose

For a touch of contemporary flair, experiment with the lehenga saree. Channel your inner diva by twirling gracefully, letting the flare of the lehenga showcase the saree's intricate design. This dynamic pose adds movement to your photoshoot, creating visually stunning images.

3. The Regal 'Pallo' Pose

Let the pallu be your canvas. Artfully draping the pallu over your shoulder not only adds a regal touch but also highlights the saree's border and pallu design. This pose exudes sophistication and captures the intricate details of the attire.

Elevating Elegance with Punjabi Juttis

Punjabi juttis, with their vibrant colors and intricate embroidery, are the perfect footwear to complement a saree ensemble. These traditional shoes add a touch of ethnicity and ground the outfit with style. Here's how you can incorporate Punjabi juttis seamlessly into your saree photoshoot:

1. Showcasing the Embroidery: The Close-Up Pose

Draw attention to the detailed embroidery of your Punjabi juttis by capturing a close-up shot. Sit in a cross-legged or folded leg pose, ensuring the focus is on the beautiful craftsmanship of the footwear. This pose not only highlights the juttis but also adds an artistic touch to your photos.

2. Dancing Stance with Juttis Pose

Infuse a sense of celebration into your photoshoot by adopting a dancing stance. Whether it's a simple bhangra step or a graceful twirl, showcase the versatility of Punjabi juttis while radiating joy and energy. This dynamic pose captures the spirit of Punjabi culture and elevates the overall aesthetics.

3. The Saree Pallu Draped Over Juttis Pose

Combine the elegance of the saree with the vibrancy of Punjabi juttis by draping the saree pallu over one foot. This pose not only draws attention to the footwear but also creates a seamless blend of traditional elements. It's a captivating way to showcase the harmony between sarees and Punjabi juttis.

Conclusion

In the realm of fashion, the synergy between traditional sarees and Punjabi juttis creates a visual poetry that deserves to be celebrated. Mastering the art of striking poses that showcase the beauty of both elements is key to capturing the essence of this cultural fusion. Whether embracing classic drapes or infusing contemporary flair, let your photos tell a story of elegance, tradition, and timeless style.

Cozmic, Kiran + Nivi, Stevie Mackey, Maejor & More Team Up for Mesmerizing Global Pop Track “Una Famila”

Singer-songwriter-producer Cozmic collaborates with TikTok sensations Kiran & Nivi, celebrity vocal coach and prolific singer Stevie Mackey, and multi platinum artist/writer/producer, Maejor. Together this powerful group of artists is on a mission to create the music that we need now—something the whole world can sing to that transcends all cultural and societal borders. The eagerly anticipated release, titled "Una Famila," (music video out 9/21), serves as the official theme song for the Art of Living World Culture Festival, taking place from September 29 to October 1, 2023, in Washington DC. The festival is  inspired by global humanitarian, spiritual leader and envoy of peace Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

"Una Famila" is more than a song; it's the heartbeat of the festival and its important message to the world especially in these times of division and polarization . It encapsulates unity, love, and shared humanity in an accessible way that will inspire millions around the importance of us all coming together as a One World Family. Cozmic, Kiran & Nivi, Stevie Mackey and Maejor’s artistic alchemy promises a song that transcends borders and languages.

The track is a breath of fresh air as it offers up a message of hope and unification. With infectious pop and reggaeton elements laced throughout the song, the collaboration of the artists make it a dream come true. As each vocalist takes turns highlighting their abilities, their harmonies bring an insightful message to the world…”We’re all in this together, We can win this together, Somos Una Familia, Hey!”

Kiran + Navi bring their Indian classical music roots into the pop vernacular, combining Indian "swaram" scale tones with powerful western lyrics, soaring melodies, and irresistible hooks. Their recent single, "8 billion people", has garnered instant success, with 10M+ streams and countless playlist adds among them, a myriad of Spotify Viral 50 Charts, Spotify's Pop Up, Teen Beats, and I'm Not Crying You Are.The powerhouse twins achieve consistent virality with their spellbinding music and content, having already amassed over 2.8M followers on TikTok alone. 

They have also been amplified by household names like Khloé Kardashian, Shawn Mendes, Sia, Meghan Trainor, Lizzo, Olivia Rodrigo, Michael Bublé and James Arthur. 

Stevie Mackey is an artist, singer and celebrity vocal coach who is highly sought-after and has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry including Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Fergie, Coldplay and more. He most famously was a vocal coach on NBC's “The Voice” for over 10 seasons. Stevie is also the creator and host of the hit music showcase, "Taco Tuesdays Live," which has become a staple in the LA music scene and recognized across the globe. With his powerful and soulful voice, Stevie is a dynamic performer and a devoted philosopher of music.

Cozmic creates playful and purposeful “Bollypop” pop fusion, combining elements of Indian and American pop music with trap, reggaeton, and acoustic rock. The resulting sound is vibrant, catchy, eclectic, and relatable. 

Maejor is an American record producer, rapper, singer, and songwriter from Detroit, Michigan. He has written and produced songs for several prominent artists in the music industry—most extensively Justin Bieber—and is half of the EDM duo Area21, alongside Dutch DJ Martin Garrix.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a global humanitarian, spiritual leader, and ambassador of peace. Gurudev has been teaching breath-based meditation techniques for health and well-being for over 42 years. His approach blends ancient Vedic wisdom with modern sensibility for a new paradigm of leadership, and living a stress-free, violence-free society.

The Art of Living World Culture Festival is a global celebration of cultural diversity, peace, and human connection. It draws hundreds of thousands of attendees from around the world to the iconic National Mall in Washington DC and is live-streamed to an international audience.

Redrew my first ever fanart and I am very happy with the improvement:D

[apricusnights]

"It's funny, what little we actually know about this world. Take the five Emperors for example. The amount of information we have is..well it really isn't all that impressive."

"I doubt that is anything that bothers you too much right? Otherwise you wouldn't have asked about it in the first place. Well, sit down and I'll tell you everything we know. Everything that the previous university presentation didn't go over."

"You can probably guess that we don't have concrete details on things like ages or where they are from. Just know that everything I tell you is pretty much everything anyone is gonna know. I doubt you're gonna find out any way other than tryin to speak to one of them...good luck with that."

"See this drawing? Oh right, I should probably mention that since we don't really have any pictures we have to go off details of those who have been before them. Anyway.."

"This is Clarion. We know the name because a few others have heard it. Clarion is..kind of..well if all of them are mysterious, this one is likely the most. They seem to enjoy causing mischief, they are something of a trickster if you will. They have a set of cat ears so we have to assume they decided at one point to get augmentation, unless those are natural..who knows."

"Nobody has seen Clarion fight but they are an emperor so I'm willing to bet their skill is way above just about everyone else. They seem to have some sort of shadow based power. Members of the Marigold clan reported being engulfed in shadow and suddenly waking up on a beach..half a world away."

Nations with possible bloodline ties: Fae Apricus Kwailai

"Ah right, the big man. His name is Vili, or so we are told. He's monstrous, we're talkin someone who could probably throw a titan class chimera. Vili has a set of horns, again maybe an augmentation at some point. He values strength above all else. It's said he watches battles across all nations. If you ask me it's likely that warriors often seek his blessing."

"He's regarded as the second strongest emperor, and possibly the oldest. He have some reports of a fight against him and it went about as well as you could expect Still, seems he respect those who refuse to give up even against overwhelming odds."

"We have no real idea what his powers may be. All we have are reports of his sheer strength, size, and neat invulnerability. Perhaps he simply hasn't had an open he considers worthy enough to show off what he can really do."

Nations with possible bloodline ties: Nivis Völsung Calere

"This is Tagetes, the rabbit eared emperor. As you can tell by the nickname she's got rabbit ear augmentations, I think? Like I said before, maybe they are natural..who knows with these folk."

"Tagetes hasn't been seen fighting so we don' have a lot of information on her style or what her combat abilities may be. We can assume they are fairly high though as she's managed to talk two of the other emperors down and that's not somethin everyone can do."

"She seems to posses the ability to heal someone from nearly any wound inflicted on them. There are rumors that she can pinpoint weak spots of sorts on any opponent and is able to somehow shut down someone's offense by striking them. Again, we've never heard of her fighting so how much of that is true, we may never know."

Nations with possible bloodline ties: Ricusare Asirel Fulminare Islands

"The drawing of the big lady there? That's Morrigan. Least I think that's her name. She's one we got a little bit of combat information about. She's strong, like insanely strong..might even rival Vili. But she's also really quick, quicker than she has any right to be. She seems to control some incredibly unique weapons...or maybe it's one weapon in several parts..hard to say."

"Reports say she's got some weird ability to drain the life force out of someone. Maybe it makes her stronger, maybe she just does it for fun. She's been known to be a bit sadistic on the battlefield."

"She's one of only two emperors that seem to have no augmentation done. She also seems to be one of the more mysterious emperors since little else is known about her."

Nations with possible bloodline tie: Kwailai Fae Réunion

"This one is gonna be short. See this guy? We don't even know what his name is. He's often referred to "The First". The first what? We don't know, maybe the first of the emperors. It would fit since he seems to have been around longer than the other four."

"Without any doubt in my mind I'd say he's the strongest one of the bunch. When you've got people as strong as the other emperors listening to you, and not wanting to get on your bad side..yeah."

"We have no reports on what his powers are, no reports on anything really. Wish I had more to give you but everyone seems to be at a loss when it comes to this guy."

Nations with possible bloodline ties: Apricus Crepusculum ???

"Can these folks really grant just about any desire you have? Who knows. Anyway, thanks for droppin by. You may be able to find some more information if you dig around enough but I doubt you'll find much more. "

"Have a nice weekend everyone!"

"Just what are those idiots doing?" Titus growled sharply, immediately tapping into the comm "Furia, Ulric, report. What the hell's going on out there" No answer. "Furia, Ulric, Respond." Still nothing. The explosion might have taken out some of the bigger gunships, but it definitely alerted the empire to the fact that there were glaives behind their front lines. They needed a distraction, now.

"I'm going to put them on gate duty until next year. Nivis" He turned to the young woman "Ready your group, looks like we'll have to hurry things up. We're sending your squad out in five. Draw all attention back forward, we do not want them going back to search among their own troops for the infiltrators."

[greyknight-fr]

Pretty proud of this one :) I learned a new technique for drawing fur that made their manes/tail really gorgeous! Toes too. What do you think? NIVIS a Gaoler/Aberration monstrosity. Going to try to add color to this beast tomorrow.

Different Ways to Look Slim in the Designer Sarees

Hence, your body type should not constrain your choices of wearing clothes. You only need to tweak your style a bit and you are good to go with your look.

Nothing can even overshadow the charm of a saree. No matter what is the season or event, only sarees can slay it all. Saree is not only Indian ethnic wear anymore, it has become the primary choice across the world for all festivities and events. Saree not only makes you look gorgeous and hot when it's draped in a particular ladies can look slim. Everybody is different, but a saree is the only type of apparel that can be worn by any body type. Choosing a certain fabric and draping style any woman can nail their Indian Saree look. If you are a retailer, check out the best saree from SM Creations' exclusive designer saree catalogues.

Here are the different ways to look Slim in Saree

Numerous factors affect your overall look in a saree. From the type of fabric to the draping style, every element directly affects the overall look. Here we are providing tricks to look slim in a saree by choosing the right pattern, right fabric and correct draping style. Buy your saree from Surat for this wedding season.

Choosing Right Pattern

Saree patterns are one of the ways to divert attention from your heavy body part to the slimmer one.

A plain saree with broad stripes attracts attention to the broad stripes and your look will slimmer.

Choosing a saree with darker colours like Fuschia, orange, navy blue and deep grey with thin borders draws more attention to the colour rather than the frame.

Two-toned sarees are also a good choice to look slimmer in a saree.

A saree with a dark colour on the top and light colour on the lower body will drive away all the attention from the heavier upper torso. A black and white is the best combination.

Along with full glamour, a completely black saree is great to look slim and fit.

Choosing Right Blouse

What goes under the saree also defines your body shape in the saree. Choose the right blouse.

Be careful while choosing a blouse. Pick the right fit.

A loose blouse can make your body look ill-shaped.

Avoid halter necks and off-shouldered, cap-sleeved blouses as they define your body width. If you have toned arms, you can wear any kind of sleeves.

If you want to hide your stomach width, pick a longer blouse.

A jacket, waistcoat or white shirt as a blouse looks super stylish.

Choose Right Fabric

Saree fabric also plays a major role in defining your saree look. Pick the right fabric as per your body type.

If you wish to look slimmer, avoid organza, south cotton, jacquard and banarsi sarees.

Fill your wardrobe with georgette, chiffon, crepe, and silk designer sarees.

While choosing a light fabric, be careful as sometimes light fabric looks clingy.

Avoid stiff or uptight as they don’t give a great fall and neither are easy to drape.

Right Draping Style

Draping sarees in the right way can balance out your body and make you look slim.

Loose Pallu

To divert the attention from your upper torso is by drape a saree with a loose pallu for a graceful look. Avoid the Nivi style loose pallu draping as it will make you look plump.

Mermaid Style

Easy to wear and one of the most stylish ways to drape a saree. It brings attention to the lower portion of the hips and takes away all the attention from the midriff and stomach areas. Pick light nets and chiffon saree for a stylish look and also form the pleats on the side.

Front Pallu

This draping style makes you look slim, undoubtedly. Go for a long-sleeved blouse for a better look. Also, the blouse pattern can drive the attention away from your midriff.

Front Loop Pallu

This drape offers you the luxury of making the upper and midriff body look fluid without form. Ensure that the saree is a bit long (almost 2 metres) for better draping. Buy your favourite saree from the saree catalogue of SM Creation.

Double Pallu

Double pallu enhances the whole look of the saree. It balances the left and right sides as it divides the torso into three different segments. It is because of optical illusions.

Rajarani Style

Rajarani is not that experimental but ensures that your upper body is not too loaded with fabric. Tuck the pallu on the loose on the left side of the waist.

Jacketed Saree

For a new and chic look, experiment with your pallu by wearing it around the neck instead of dropping it free. The jacket hides the actual body shape and makes you look slim.
