SPIDERVERSE X ARCANE

PART 2 of my Spiderverse X Arcane Series,

Inspired by SpiderGwen and Vi having the same voice actress, I decided to merge the shows into a series of fan art I plan on continuing. First up we have Jinx as The Prowler, and Vi as Spider Gwen. More to come soon!

Check out my drawing process's on my instagram!

I love this woman and I need to share my art of her with the world because she is my wife and we will make wonderful children that won't be addicted to shimmer and we will live in piltover and TOTALLY NOT GO OUT AND KILL ALL THE PEOPLE because my wife is totally not that kind of woman and is just really stressed and she did absolutely nothing wrong ever in her life and then we can invite Mel in because we would be a triple stuffed chocolate oreo and Sevika would just blow my back out while Mel wore some thigh high boots with a whip giving Sevika instructions on how to blow my back out.

Long ass sentence is long.

This was an anatomy and lighting study with photoshop crashing and crying multiple times.

No, it isn't AI generated and all painted by tablet

"and all you gotta do now is walk"

I'm experimenting with style and studying different ways to draw. I kinda suck with cartoon-ish, so I'm proud of this one. Wasn't going to post it, but my friends convinced me to. Please, notice this is not my style and I'm only doing a study and a rendition of it. All credit to Johnson.

I would come to every lecture he gave

"Grief suffocated. Grief paralysed. Grief was a cruel, heavy boot pressed so hard against his chest that he could not breathe" - R.F. Kuang, Babel

[thereadingmoon]

it's hilarious that a few days after i finished babel, i went to history class and our topic visited colonization, and my (white) professor said that teaching history within education is politicized and his example was how slavery and colonization are taught in most history classes as europe's invasion of other continents and enslavement of the native peoples there, thus racializing the issue of the slave trade. he asked why don't history classes focus on the fact slavery was a practice found in many cultures other than europe and that europeans also enslaved other europeans, which is a fair point... however he commented that "the version of history that's taught is a way for [european nations] to pay reparations i suppose" and it's an example how education distorts historical events through the lens of "modern politics".

and i'm sitting there like... colonization will always be tied to race. whether we like it or not, that period of history had forcibly tied race to colony, and we feel those effects to this day. that is why it's still important to talk about it. we breathe the consequences, live the consequences, and see the consequences of colony. we are products of a bloody, inequal, and unfair history that still poisons our lives today.

along the lecture, i interjected that any and all forms of colonization was bad and he claimed he could think of pax romana as one good form of colonization. the roman empire's golden age was only golden if you were roman, sir.

as an asian in academia studying outside her home country, i have to cosplay babel every day and i am already so tired. I've been missing my professors back home because they spoke against colony and oppression with fire and brimstone and passion and here they turn away from the blood empire or they see little wrong with it.

dark academia is aptly named because by god is it fucking dark here.

Mel Medarda as Mucha’s “The Pole Star” 

[rwoh]

Spent the entirety of Babel going "omg this reminds me of this" and the thing it reminds me of is a long list of jstor articles I've read at some point.

I enjoyed the book but I think I enjoyed it more because it wasn't anything new conceptually to me. I think it's an excellent tool for getting people to confront their relationship with colonialism and its violence, but with that comes the stages of grief. If you have never or never fully confronted this, sometimes you do need a moment to catch up.

If this book confronts you, I think reading it again after you have come to the acceptance stage of your relationship with colonialism enhances the ability to enjoy the book because you spend the entire time going "oh my god so true Rebecca"

I started this piece like a month and a half ago (Way before my Sevika piece.)and tried to start in color. I still have tons to learn about color and painting techniques (But, I had a blast painting her!) so she is unfinished. I highly doubt I'll finish her but happy where I came from.

I'll start in black and white from now on till I get a little better.
