Do you have any good resources/references/advice for drawing (late republican) Roman clothing? I want to draw a couple of historical figures but thinking about drawing a toga makes me feel like 😖😖😖...
-Costumes of the Greeks and Romans, Thomas Hope
-Greek and Roman Fashions, Tom Tierney
-The World of Roman Costume, ed. Judith Lynn Sebesta and Larissa Bonfante.
-Decorative Symbols and motifs for Artists and Craftsmen/Decorative Patterns of the Ancient World, Dover Publications
-photos & videos from reenactors and reenactment events
-build a screenshot reference library from movies and shows that have costume designs you like, that kind of thing. grab a blanket and wrap yourself up in it toga style and take a photo if you need a specific angle. etc. museums usually have a lot of their galleries online, and places like the met often shoot statues from multiple sides.
#my screenshot reference library has a lot from gladiator/hbo rome/the cleopatra movie/various JC film adaptions#sometimes toy stores and craft supply places have those tiny figures and every now and then they got little romans#highly recommend that too#ask tag#ngl if you can grab the discovery tour edition of assassins creed origins. like. go to one of the greek/roman cities and use#photo mode on various npcs#art advice tag

Guy who goes to a used game store not to buy anything but rather to use his pokemon cartridge authenticating skills to see if the ones sold there are real or fake. And to laugh smugly to himself if they are in fact fake
#I walk into the used game store#I ask the employee if their games are real or if they are fake#We have good games here sir#I look at the game#It's beef greek

Pick-A-Pile Reading!
Grab a reading via Etsy or see my most recent post for ways to support me! Thank you, have a blessed Saturnī 🤟🏾🫶🏾
Wanna get a personal reading, but don't wanna use Etsy? Just PM me!
Pile 1: Angel Aura tower, fire energy, 7 of Birds, the Magician, and 7 of Wands
It's clear you don't believe in yourself. You may very well have been working on your confidence and presence, but you haven't fully gotten to where you'd like to be. Spirit is advising that you plant your feet firmly on the ground and stand for you. Don't allow others to talk down to you. Speak from the heart and act with your highest good in mind. Things may not be perfect. You may not be equipped with what you believe will lead you to success, but you have free will and you have your convictions. Whatever you're striving for you can achieve and go beyond!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Pile 2: Smoky Quartz, water energy, the Weaver, 5 of Wands, 6 of Swords (r)
You are meant to bring people, animals, and energy together. Through your words and actions you instantly spark inspiration in others. Spirit's advice to you is to be mindful of those in your orbit. Don't include, or weave, people into your life without understanding their full intentions. This isn't a call out. Unfortunately, others can be convincing and mislead you, but remember that everyone has a story. Remind others that you have a story as well and that your strength/energy is not an endless tap to be used at their convenience. Write those into your story who respect & write you into theirs! 🫶🏾
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Pile 3: Mixed stone/Chakra sphere, Earth energy, 7 of Trees, 7 of Pentacles, Death
This is spread is so fun! It reads prosperity, pride, community, and rebirth. Death can look scary, but it gives room for the new. From top to bottom your life is looking towards being prosperous. It's not without work and it doesn't seem like you mind it! The energy around you will be shifting to a collaborative one soon. Whether its just between you and spirit or others there is money to be made. Spirit's advice is to not get too attached. Be malleable and adaptable with your energy/projects and have patience! Always remember that the more you do, the more you improve, the more you grow!
If you've come this far, I'm filled with gratitude thank you so much!
Please consider getting an Etsy reading or sending a tip via Cashapp!

Highlights from this years work holiday party in December
We had to find all the elves (11) in the muesuem and take pictures with them to get entered in a raffle prize. I didn’t win but I found all the elves! They are very tiny
#also channeling my inner Greek goddess with the hair#the long dress is slightly overly formal for the dress code but I wasn’t the only one#also this dress was 13 dollars at arc thrift store so I win#late holiday post

not me suddenly wanting to learn basic respectful greetings in Chinese cause a little 5yo or so came and recited a small verse for the New Year's carols that Greeks kids do
(the carols are this thing)
#personal#she was so polite!#“can i say it in Chinese?” OF COURSE YOU CAN#dunno what the verse meant but it was nice#it's just nice to hear something other than the greek carols#and she was among the nicest kids that came by the store#i hope she and her dad didn't meet any of the trademarked greek racists and they had a wonderful morning#them and the other families with tiny kiddos that came for the carols made my day#always so polite and it's so heartwarming seeing the kids gathering up their courage to ask if they can sing the carol#(+ the bonus of proud smiling parents in the background or looking from outside the store doors)#(the 19yos that came to make quick money can choke though)#(especially the ones that i said no to and called me a slur. i hope for new years they are treated like they treat others)

Meet-Cute
Days that pass like sand, blowing idly by in the summer wind
he dreams of snakes, long-fanged, like vexed bees, stinging at his scalp “Purify yourself,” but he has not sinned
…he does not protest
The river is green-blue. Alive. He feels its heart beating beneath the slick rock of its banks. Old river. Gorgeous thing. Bent into the shape of a shepherd’s crook, flowing but tame A nursery for fresh-born nymphs too young to stand the ocean’s tide-pulls or maybe a reprieve from rough Summer’s overbearing heat
He slips his robe from his shoulders. Unbinds the curls of his hair. There is almost regret in his heart. Almost tragedy. Almost pain. Each ritual bath is a spectre of the first, blood sinking deep into his flesh, poison that will never stop burning. He empties his lungs of air and steps
Light-footed, like air down the forest path she goes a-walking
she’s dreamt of violets since summer’s first dawn a maiden possess’d
“Purify yourself,” that’s what father said
...This is how they meet
(Gold like sun slicing through the clouds like full-grown barley begging to be picked She’s gold and slim and gorgeous bathing in the river
The nymph is new like speckled flowers blooming on a rose bush she calls to be admired and Evadne cannot resist her allure)
-Extracts from 'The Greenhouse Floor'.
#ginger writes#to be completely clear Evadne mistakes Apollo for a girl when she first sees him#Because everyone mistakes Apollo for a girl when they first see him#apollo#evadne#apollo x evadne#poetry#greek mythology#I'm sick as hell today so have some apollo/evadne posting because they make me happy#Because prose for this stuff takes so long for me to write#I prefer to just jot ideas down in a quasi-poetic form until I can revisit them later#The Greenhouse Floor is where I've stored all of these 'clippings'#I wish I could do formatting nonsense on tumblr#Like I'm sure there's a way I just don't know how#Anyway everyone should stan Evadne she's doing her best actually#Something something fated meet-cutes so Olympia's line of seers could be born#something something the Fates sending Apollo on the divine version of a blind date#pursuing daybreak posting

you might not think it’s hard to be a soc fan artist on tumblr, but let me tell you about the time I called someone out for drawing inej with light skin, so they blocked me and then wrote a long post about me that I couldn’t see, along with colour samples taken from my art as examples of how inej is “too dark” in them, and then they end the post with “I’m disappointed in you” 💀
#girl 😭#inej ghafa#book accurate crows#mine#post contains g slur#the g word is a racial slur for romani people and a word used against them during the 500 years of chattel slavery they endured#which wasn’t even that long ago#english isn’t this person’s first language and so it was google translate who automatically used that word#but they have decided to stand by it#for a lot of my family their first language is greek#that isn't an excuse for them or me to say racially charged english slurs and if I did so by mistake I would correct myself.#you sound like someone who took an ancestry test discovered they had a#minimal percentage of a particular ethnic group in their genetic makeup#and then assumed they could speak on and represent that group without understanding its history or culture.#my racist right-wing aunt has a non white grandparent but that doesn’t give her the right to talk on matters from that ethnic group#we are all very mixed if we examined our genetics very closely#but that doesn't mean you can decide whether or not that word is a slur if you haven't lived openly as a romani person#and been called that while you were denied jobs education and even being allowed to go into stores.#you are undermining the lived experiences of individuals within the roma community.#my friend's ancestors have been saying that is a slur call us roma since the 1930s. that was only one or two#generations after the abolition of slavery.#and like any ethnic group of people they have varying skin tones?#it's actually stupid to say they all have light skin when they were in fact ostracized#dehumanized and forced into racially segregated ghettos on the outskirts of society#because of the very dark colour of their skin.#inej ghafa is romani coded#she happens to have dark skin#tw racism#tw colourism#tw g word

I am not going to shut up about the Valhalla DLC for the next four days, so here's a wild theory I was discussing with the discord group last night:
What if... and this is a giant fucking IF, the final boss of this DLC is Greek Era Kratos? Hear me out, the description for this little "expansion" says that this is a deeply personal journey for Kratos, and the appearance of the cyclops gives me a sneaking suspicion that it's not going to be the only Greek Era enemy we'll be facing. Plus the whole "master thyself" thing? What better way for Kratos to overcome his demons than to have him fight himself?
#god of war#god of war vahalla#paige chatter#also super hoping that if there's more greek era enemies; this means they're testing remade/remastered models in the new game engine#and they're considering remaking the first god of war for it's 20th anniversary#plus the cyclops and old music can't just be there for fanservice alone#or maybe it could and i'm just hoping too much#whatever this dlc has in store; i cannot wait#even for just a CRUMB of content; esp if it's greek era related#gonna keep expectations low just to be safe ;;;#also hi i'm running on like four hours of sleep lmaooo
