#custom made paper

[aurabora]

one day we need to talk about how helaena and alicent are glorified into these perfect little victims that can do no wrong and screaming sexist, misogynist, etc when you point it out, while calling rhaenyra a whore and minimizing what she went through simply because she doesn’t want to suffer as a woman in westeros. might it have to do with how rhaenyra’s suffering isn’t as male gaze and fetishizable as the forever victims?

Shells Are Clothes

So, shells in the Mario world are not necessarily biological but more like a type of clothing and possibly power up with variations of a single shell.

While not everyone remembers this but Koopas quite often could be kicked out of shells and run around without one Super Mario Bros. 4 Super Mario World, Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario 64, etc. Even in the original Mario Bros. the Shell Creepers exit their shells to flip it. In Paper Mario 64 the Koopas of Koopa Village have their shells stolen by Fuzzies, one Koopa mentions their shell is custom made, this shows them to be something that can be ordered and worn.

This is further shown with characters like Bowser in the RPG games switching out shells, and Mario using the Blue Shell power up. Mario uses a Blue Shell Power up and block in NSMBDS and M&LBIS. There is also the Lazy Shell from SMRPG.

Not to mention Mario and Friends in Super Mario 3D World can enter empty Koopa shells.

They also seem to serve as power ups themselves Bowser gaining abilities from different shells, certain shells in SMB4SMW being able to chase Mario down when piloted by a Kamikaze Koopa, or even how when a Yoshi eats the SMW shells he can spit fire or grow wings.

We also see Blue Electrokoopas remove their shells and send it flying at Mario as a form of attack.

The shells are probably made by a company that is connected to the Strike Equipment from Mario Kart who Mario Red, Green, Bowser, and Spiny shells for kart races.

We also see shells being worn by non Koopa creatures as well that don't normally need shells like Goombas, Konkadors, and Ant Troopers. Yoshis themselves could be a Koopa as mentioned in a previous post, and like Koopas they are born without their shells.

Some shells might even be extra heavy causing Koopas to go on all 4.

I'm so excited to reveal photos of the finished commission that I worked on last month. I was asked to make some paper art based on the promo images for the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service with a twist, and it turned out even better than I had dared hope. The final piece is 12" x 16", which was a very good size to work with. But even then, some of the smallest elements on the pens were only 1mm thick. I tried hard to capture the texture and depth that was in a piece like this, but its one of those things that you really have to see in person to believe. I think my favourite part was the filigree and crown molding. It was a last minute addition and it just made everything pop. As always, I love doing custom work. Send me a message if you'd like to discuss a special project!

My printer hates me :) (with many thanks and credit to @niennanir as before)

Gosh aren’t they gorgeous tho ♥ Especially the latest and largest, though I have to give all the credit to the paper on that one haha, it’s stunning IRL, I could almost stare at the gold lattice forever rather than read, but I’m so happy with how it turned out between the pages as well!

Quick showcase of the new additions! :D

My Drinking Game as another test run, I got the spacing how I wanted it! Yay! It’s so much handsomer and less cramped! Also I gotta say, if it wasn’t such a large usage of paper, this would be my ideal way of checking for typos - I found a couple after setting it down to ink lol, they’ve been fixed now at least ♪ Paired here with the emerge, transformed three-parter, one of my all-time-favourites <3 I reread it the night I finished it and cried again, a little bit of tender mercy always wrecks me hhhh ♥ There are so many beautiful evocative lines! I’m so happy to hold it ♪ And as you can see above, that was the one that got the cute little ghost dust jacket :D

Another test run of what I’m calling volume 1 of my Vargas Drabbles lol, so not including Have you lost your mind? since that one’s currently unfinished. I do fully intend to print it once it’s done tho :3c Hopefully that one will cause me fewer problems! I hate measuring, so I may have flubbed two covers before finally getting this one into good enough shape XP And my red yarn is still in storage so >.> Did I go purchase another ball of red yarn? I’ll never tell. You can’t tell me it doesn’t look great as a bookmark tho <3

And my current happiest! Ah!! It turned out fantastic on all counts! The cover paper obviously, as I couldn’t Not lead with that, but also the size of the spine and the way the pages settled against each other while glueing - I used a different type of paper for this one and I think I’m completely converted over, it feels amazing to work with. Whatever I was using before had to have been like 15lbs lol, I’m literally just using normal 20lb printer paper but it feels and looks and behaves so much nicer <3 The size of Helix also allowed for a slightly larger bookmark, which was perfect because we had this soft gold ribbon that was all of a couple millimeters wider than the other ribbons/yarn I’d been using, and it looks so so so pretty with the gold detailing!! I’ve put it between Ch. 1 and 2 and getting to see the actual physical size differences of the chapters is so fun ♥

LOOOK WHAT A CUSTOMER GOT ME

I draw a pen doodle every day until I forget

Day 255: MSM-03 F “Frogg” (Custom Gogg)(Mobile suit Gundam)

Okay, I know I used color pencils today, technically breaking my no pencils rule, but today’s drawing merits it, so I’m okay with it. I was helping decorate my job for Easter (I work at a grocery store) and we got in this shipment of giant, super soft plushies, one was a big ol’ frog. And I was doodling a Gogg in my little notebook I keep on me at work, and a neuron activated.

So as far as the mobile suit itself is concerned, it’s a normal Gogg. It has the same stats as a Gogg. But it is painted green. The lights from the torso are doubled on the side of the head, making faux frog eyes. And the sharp claw fingers are ended with a metal ball, that heats up like a Heat Hawk (giving it fingers like a Tree Frog.) I also wanted to replace the particle cannons on the waist with a pair of retractable heat rods, like the Gouf. (That way it has some sort of frog tongue.) I’m not sure how to make it work though…
