i hate the de-feminization of women in games. i want pink frilly dresses a la princess peach and OG zelda. i want skimpy flowy outfits made of strips of fabric because they're cute to twirl around in. idgaf about PRACTICALITY in my fake fantasy rpg dream world. i am sick of seeing women in armor. give me a princess jasmine outfit to fight demons in.

artist tips from a certified graphic designer & artist who has sold my art as prints:

PLEASEEE convert your art to CMYK and balance the CMYK before selling your prints in a program like photoshop. i use PS because it's what i learned digital art on, but you can use anything that has the capability to level CMYK.

i bought a gorgeous piece of art from someone recently and when it came in the mail from the third party printer, it was too dark to see because the artist did not balance the colors properly before sending it to the third party to be printed. the third party does not balance these colors for you, you have to test them out by printing them at home or at a print shop. yes it's more work but the prints you sell will be gorgeous!

Liza Minnelli wearing silver “bone cuffs” by Elsa Peretti for Halston, 1972. Photographed by Ron Galella.

“Elsa brought out all these things—the bone bracelet I remember best. Everything was so sensual, so sexy. I just loved it. It was different from anything I’d ever seen, and I’d seen a lot. I’ve only really worn Peretti jewelry from then on.” - Liza Minnelli.
