the best commission client you can ever get is always going to be this specific guy: he wants you to draw an oc he's had for like 16 years, he has a folder of references, she's like a catgirl who is also a magician or something, he has 3 paragraphs of her lore that he gives you + an exact pose, he's extremely polite and tells you to take as long as you need, and then he tips like $160 on top of the asking price at the end. and he always looks exactly like this

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.

it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.

and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.

edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

dunno about you guys but i’m still not over “i’m sorry fiddleford” being a part of ford’s thoughts in the last mabelcorn. i don’t think i’ll ever be over it. because like!! ugh…

devastating to me that the regret he still feels about that time didn’t present itself on the screen as like… “i shouldn’t have trusted him” (him being bill) or something similarly vague. no!! sure he probably dwells on his mistakes having had the possibility of destroying the world, but the thought that was at the forefront of his mind was specifically about FIDDLEFORD.

and like! how often must he think about that for it to show up right away? how often does he lay awake at night thinking about how he so callously threw away their friendship over a misguided fantasy of glory and success? when fiddleford had always believed in him? when fiddleford had been right about the portal being a dangerous idea all along?

it kills me to realize how deeply ford must miss him in the days he’s back home. he has his family now, of course, and he’s warming up to them bit by bit, but what had felt like home to him for a good while was fiddleford. they lived together, worked together, fiddleford was ford’s best and only friend. and now everything is different, and ford doesn’t even know where fiddleford IS, much less if he’d ever want to reconcile their friendship.

“i’m sorry fiddleford.” fiddleford, who uprooted his life to be by his side. fiddleford, who devoted so much of himself to ford’s ideals, to ford’s eventual success. fiddleford, who stuck with him until he literally couldn’t anymore, until the result of ford’s foolish ambitions irreperably scarred him and severed their ties. “i’m sorry fiddleford.”

Hey so I need some more audience help for the Big Project I’m doing for my big final exhibition for my course. (Absolutely detest the way this project is being ran, it’s aimless, doesn’t make any sense, we’re not really allowed to have anything for a final in mind at this stage which is insane because it’s been running for like 5 months already, I’m ready to explode, But I Digress).

So far my project is called Tender Comrade(?) which will be a selection of illustrations/designs of some sort (as wearables? Prints? As a physical scene? Who Knows atp) that both showcases a complicated and forgotten period of LGBTQ+ history during the 20th century and subverts traditional military content using LGBTQ+ themes that, today, calls for us to embrace societally perceived feminine behaviours in masculine people and encourages men’s healthier interactions interplaying masculinity and femininity. The exhibition will be near Pride Month as well.

So far, the content is inspired by this moodboard of homoerotic posters (below) of old photography, beefcake magazines, and some mock propaganda posters of my own.

But you can help me out with my presentation tomorrow morning by just answering 8 yes/no questions on this Google Form about being an LGBTQ+ person that will help support the theories behind the project. There is an extra 6 yes/no questions for LGBTQ+ men/masculine presenting people/people who have at any point been persistently perceived masc or male but feel free to answer whatever questions are applicable to your personal experience. Responses are anonymous of course. My lecturer was basically like LGBTQ+ history isn’t relevant enough to make art about so help me prove her wrong!

Thanks for anyone that can help!

I've seen plenty of Biker!Kim, but no helmets. I present to you, my design of Kim Kitsuragi's motorcycling helmet.

A proper helmet, covered by an aviator style ear flap hat. The buckle of the helmet is designed to go through the specially made hat, allowing both pieces to remain securely in place. Goggles go on top. Kim got a prescription for his, of course. Wearing goggles incorrectly by shoving glasses beneath is not very safe, nor is it comfortable.

If you guys like this, I might share my Kim bike design too

I cant believe people on here actually think you are a bigot for *checks notes* thinking that trans men are oppressed for being trans men and have unique experiences with transphobia

Love disabled people who just lie about their disabilities to nosy, intrusive questions. Sorry, yeah, I lost my arm in the wash one day. It's funny how that happens! Oh, I got back pain from saving nineteen children from a burning fire department <3
