#I Love Her So Much For This

[hislittleraincloud]

Meet New Zealand's Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke. She's an MP in NZ's parliament. Her haka is in protest of a bill that would have taken rights afforded to the tribes and applied them to all New Zealanders (defeating the purpose of the Treaty of Waitangi).

She is 22 years old, and this isn't the first time she's done it.

It wasn't that long ago that I made a post about a whole bunch of new collectible drops, but there's been so many more that I guess if I want to talk about new collectibles I might need to start making sure I do these posts regularly.

One of them that I'm really excited to talk about is the new Barbie Fashion Model Collection doll - because it solves a mystery that I was kind of confused by!

When I posted about the Barbie UNO set, I said I didn't know what the black and pink dress prominently on the box was. Turns out I didn't know what it was because it was, at the time, not yet released.

In the time since I wrote that post about the recent collectors editions, a new Inspiring Women doll was also released; this one in the likeness of Chilean author and activist Isabel Allende.

It feels like everyone is talking about the Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn dolls, so there's not too much point in going into detail on them. I will say that I am not too surprised that, at time of writing, Harley is sold out but Ivy isn't - besides the enormous popularity of Harley, she also just looks better quality than the Ivy to me, if I'm honest.

(And I appreciate that they didn't use the Margot Robbie sculpt for her.)

I actually prefer the previous time Barbie took on Poison Ivy, back in 2004.

She isn't perfect by any means but I personally prefer it.

I'm a really, really big fan, though, of the A Tribute To Fashion Barbie, designed by Suim Noh.

She is described as being the first in a series about "historic couture", with an 18th century-inspired look.

"Inspired" is the operative word here, because authentic, I do not think she is. But I still love her. I think she looks incredible.

what drawing tablet do you use/recommend?

I've been a wacom girlie ever since i started drawing!! currently i use a cintiq 16 but up until 2021 i was using an intuos! i love my cintiq and would NEVER go back but if you're looking for a cheaper alternative and don't think you need a screen the intuos is a really good option, my first one lasted me almost 6 years and it's also really portable so i still use my old one sometimes if I have to work outside my studio! the reason i use specifically the cintiq is because i think it emulates drawing on paper the most out of all the screen tablets ive tested. I'm actually sort of a traditional art supremacist in that I want my digital experience to be as similar to my traditional one as possible, and the cintiq's screen and pen are the most similar to a traditional drawing experience imo.

Mechagnomes? How about mechagob (kind of)?

I've been adding little bits to her story lately and it's still on the very rough outline stage but the gist of it: Acácia volunteered to test drive a new prosthetic tech. The original test models were... bad, to say the least, but she was able to get much better custom made ones after the fact.

Her prosthetics are powered by a mix of arcane magic, elemental magic and a secret third thing. They connect to her nerve endings through magic and implants along her spine, but they're not and will never be perfect replacements to the limbs she lost.

My one hope for season 6 is that they deal with Argos’ eyebrows.

You think I’m kidding but I’m totally not.

I’ve seen people clown on his inhuman eyes or purple skin but I literally don’t care I just need them to use a darker shade of green for his eyebrows. Because compared to his skin, his light green eyebrows are quite hard to make out.

Like, in this shot right here, you can’t see his eyebrows.

And this might be a personal thing but eyebrows in animation are one of the best ways to show facial expressions.

Actually, scratch that, give him some eyeliner while you’re at it. And alter the shade of the sclera to be lighter than the iris, OR make the iris MUCH brighter (this is what fanart often does). I LOVE the dark sclera but in the daylight (Like Felix looks stunning in every single frame of Emotion, and still looks good in a large majority of Representation, but as soon as you slap his character model under the light of the sun, something feels off) or in zoomed out shots, he looks super… bug-eyed? Like it’s not super clear where the sclera begin and the iris ends? None of the other holders with altered eyes (Ryuko, Chat Noir, Ladynoire, etc) have this problem it’s just him. And his eyes so cool, I just want them to be like…. Visible?

I might make an attempt at an Argos redesign but I already REALLY like his design, he outserves literally everyone. there are just like, a few small changes I’d make for the sake of versatility? If that makes any sense.

I wish there was like. Tutorials on how to use different social medias that isn’t just “here’s how to set up an account.”

I got a Bluesky but there doesn’t seem to be hashtags, I have no idea how to actually get people to see my art if they aren’t already following me. There’s like lists but nothing on how to post to them? I feel too old for this shit which doesn’t bode well for the majority of my lifespan.
