Historical Mermay prompt 5: Italian Renaissance Mermaid

You would not believe the amount of trouble the colors gave me on this one. I went through so many color palettes before I decided this was the strongest “renaissance” palette. Which makes sense since it borrows colors from ‘The Birth of Venus’. And of course the bodice and sleeves reference fashion of the time.

Today In History

On February 13, 1923, the New York Renaissance, the first all-Black professional basketball team, is organized. The Renaissance, commonly called the Rens, become one of the dominant teams of the 1920s and 1930s.

The team’s founder was Robert L. Douglas, whose primary objective was to give New York City’s male, Black athletes opportunities to better themselves. In February 1923, Douglas struck an agreement with William Roach, a Harlem-based real estate developer who owned the New Renaissance Ballroom and Casino, and the Rens were born. With Black players barred from professional basketball leagues, the Rens barnstormed throughout the country, often competing against all-white teams.

Along with owning the team, Douglas coached it from its inception through its last game in 1949. Douglas was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor in 1972. One of the greatest players in the sport’s history recognized his impact.

Hi Hijack fandom, (I know some of you are still alive and kicking) I've been gone for like. Half a year, but I am BACK. With a little (lies. slander. the first chapter took 40 pages) story that @imdeadtiredtm and I started writing as a quick prompt that, inevitably, snowballed into something with plot and storybuilding and the funnies.

Also, for those one's here in my blog that have nothing to do with a good to honest disney crossover ship from the 2010's, I'm not sorry, you should almost definitely give it a shot. The dynamics are pretty compelling.

As a bribe, have some doodles and a little snippet. But first, the summary:

'Hiccup's desperately trying to figure out what exactly is the deal is with Burgess ever since he moved in. He keeps dreaming of a lake. Or more specifically, drowning in one. He knows there's a lake, but there are no photos, no maps to where ever this lake is. Hiccup knows it exists, because the other residences know about it too, but when ever he asks for details they seem to know nothing, baring a few exceptions, and Hiccup can't help but feel like he's going insane. All of this, somehow, leads to him giving Jack Frost a four hour car ride. Jack, who's the center of all of this in one way or another.'

“This is Florence. The Italians call it Firenze to try and stop tourists from finding it. But it’s definitely Florence because we double-checked it on a British map.”

Not a religious person but I can appreciate the beauty and work that went into St Peter’s Basilica! Truly mind blowing hot it was achieved with such basic techniques and technology.
