chelseakenna asked you:
Hey! I have a random question that was inspired by those drawings and you are my resident historical fashion expert (and I know NOTHING about this stuff). Were the multi-layered undergarments generally worn in cooler climates? Are there examples of alternate options from the same culture/era for trips or living in warmer areas? I cry at the thought of wearing ALL THAT...

suddenly I feel really guilty about my lutece drawings
NEVER FEEL GUILTY, you draw them so welllll! I about lost it when I saw your Professor Layton ones.

tasteslikeanya asked: Sorry, I mean what content is in that Myst book? Is it all the text from all the books in the game, or from the strategy guide, or whatnot?

blahmitzvah asked you:
I just wanted to tell you how much I admired your Disney Princesses series! I really enjoy looking up the fashion of time periods I find super interesting and forcing myself to learn about the ones I don’t (after all, you ought to learn a little about a lot of things, even if you don’t much care for them), so I really appreciate your research and images! (ps...

desdemonia asked:
Hi Shoomlah! I’m a huge fan of your work, and I absolutely delight in Maleficent, so I apologize if I come off as rude with my following question: Is there a particular reason you changed some of Maleficent’s features? I’m thinking specifically here of her prominent nose and chin - was it to blend more with the overall style of the series? Thanks, and sorry...

henrybearsden asked: FYI the style you're referring to with the slash and puff in your post on dagged sleeves is called landsknecht in case you wanted to look it up. :-)

teal-deer asked you:
First off, I absolutely adore the work you did for Bioshock: Infinite. Second though, I’m considering trying to cosplay Rosalind Lutece, and was wondering if you could give me advice on how to do her hair: what’s that hairdo called, how does one execute it, etc? And any other things about her general costume you think might be useful (though your drawings are so...

If you want to listen to me ramble on about Bioshock: Infinite (both about my role as concept artist, and my thoughts about the game itself) with the lovely Lisa Foiles and the rest of the League of S.T.E.A.M., you should definitely check out the latest Steam Geeks podcast- possibly a bit spoilery, but we generally avoid discussing end-game or any major story elements. :)

hey guysss! I entered my children’s line in a contest to win a trip to the future insights conference at the end of April and I’d love for you to go HERE and vote for me - by liking or commenting on my post OR BOTH! It’s through facebook.

Found out from wikisurfing that, according to the brothers Miller, entries I-IV in the Myst series are set, Earth-timeline-wise, in the early 19th century.
Someone please tell me to stop designing Regency-punk (sailpunk?) costumes with crazy Moiety-inspired embellishment or D’ni iconography all over them in my head.

don't waste his time with that bullshit again,...
goddammitcameron asked you:
Hey, I just saw your Disney Princess series on Reddit for the first time, and thought it was really stupid. So not different at all? Cool, thanks for the effort. Looked you up on google to personally tell you. Don’t waste my time with that bullshit again
hahahahaJUSTKIDDIN’ I’m gonna keep drawing these until the END of TIME
In regards to Reddit
Hey guys, small favor to ask-
If you see a Reddit thread featuring my art, please don’t link me to it! I’ve gotten a ton of links to one that cropped up today, and 90% of the comments are always negative/idiotic/making some pretty broad assumptions. Just not something that I can deal with stress-wise. <:)
