Who out there can honestly say they weren’t thrilled by the Mag-Lev rides while playing Riven? It still gives me goosebumps, and I love it.
I’ve been wanting to post this one for a while over on Mystic Places. Mmmmm.

Interview over at OfficialCosplay.com! →
The lovely Sara Katz-Scher hit me up for an interview a few weeks back and, after some editing on my part so I don’t come across as a complete doofus via Skype, the article’s finally up for your perusal over at OfficialCosplay.com. Definitely check it out if you’re interested in me rambling on about, quite predictably, cosplay and my historical Disney princesses.

alisketch replied to your post: Bwahahahaha
I used to work with one of the art directors of The Goofy Movie….now I want to ask him about this :(
Small world, my dad worked on A Goofy Movie as well! I spent a large chunk of my childhood hanging out at the WDA France studio, drawing off of model sheets.
Bwahahahaha
I love when people respond to a casual post about what race I imagined cartoon characters to be as a kid by saying “RACE DOESN’T MATTER THEY’RE CARTOON DOGS but while we’re at it they’re actually supposed to be white so you’re wrong”

theillustriousmissjo asked: Um, you realise Bill Mudron also directly traced Mucha's artwork? The typography and design as his, yes, but the poses (and clothes in the River one) are traces. He didn't even bother to fix the proportions on the Doctor, giving him the body of a child. He's got another one that is also a direct trace of a promotional Doctor Who photo. So really, Mudron isn't much better than...

It seems like a lot of people feel kind of bad after looking at the art from that talented teen in my last post… just remember, you don’t have an upper limit. If you take away anything, it is that having internal motivation and a structured plan to reach your goals can help you achieve anything…
Yeah- worth noting to people that art is not a zero-sum game. Getting a specific...

The Crystal Mill, Aspen, Colorado | 1977 photos taken by the late Nick DeWolf
Yeah, this sort of thing is what this blog is all about.
HOLY CRAP I HAVE THIS PHOTO FRAMED. LOOK!!
It’s a different shot but still! The amount of glee I have right now that I know where this place is is fantastic. I’ve been using it as a reference for where Anne, Howard, and...

Well, tbh, you don’t need to put in Victorian elements to make it Steampunk- that’s the brilliance of the multicultural steampunk challenge: you think how that particular culture would have evolved with just steam for power and they didn’t necessarily have Victorian influences. They’re their own steampunk.
Yesyesyes, that’s definitely true....

I think you’d need to understand the history of how English imperialism affected pretty much everything about clothing in India - including textile production, fashions/norms, standards of modesty - and how all of these are tied to class & caste, before you can go creating neo-Victorian mash-ups. A choli worn like in your piece would’ve been considered immodest (and probably got the...

I dream of a day on Tumblr when you can add something to your original post, and then it would trickle down to aaaaaall the reblogs so people wouldn’t get caught in infinite loops reblogging questions and commentary that’s already been answered.
But then OH NO people would be able to edit posts and cover up their tracks when they act like dicks, so that’s no good. Maybe it...

I'm sorry, but no. →
Was just sent this in a note on DA. Here’s a bit of life advice- don’t treat art like it isn’t worth paying for. It’s one thing to ask someone for a favor, understanding that you’re putting them out and that they’re giving you something, but it’s another thing to act as if the privilege of making art for your wedding is payment in and of itself.
As has...

I wrote up this post because I missed my style development panel at FC due to food poisoning. I was honored to ask to do it in the first place, and it was a huge disappointment to me to have to miss it. The idea that I could be considered an authority on this in any way is pretty crazy to me! I’m…
Definitely worth checking this out- I get a lot of questions about...

loneliestlesbian asked: Can I ask what art school (if any) you attended/graduated from?
cutepiku asked: Are you serious about the Krawk thing? I'd be interested to hear how that came about.
victorian-witch said:
The resemblance [this person I don’t want to call out] has to your work is frightening, particularly their [specific] piece in color. o.O
This is true! They’ve cited me as an inspiration in at least one instance, so I’m assuming it’s just a younger artist finding their stylistic voice. I’m not particularly bothered when people mimic the...

oh my GOD I hope she does Jane next she’s my fave.
hilariously, the reason why I’m holding off on Jane is for my own selfish reasons- my mummy hunter costume was definitely inspired by Jane:
