I hope some of the folks who've enjoyed my fic are on Tumblr, because I feel terrible about not having the 4th chapter done yet. We got the bombshell dropped on us Tuesday night that we're all supposed to put in 10hr days until mid February. Which... well, it sucks. There's no way around that. And by the time I get home I'm mentally exhausted. 

I'm taking today to decompress, but I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll have the energy to crank out some writing. As a warning, it may be a short chapter, but I want to get it out there ASAP so everyone who doesn't use Tumblr can know what's going on and that I haven't abandoned it.

Thanks for the patience, and I hope you'll still read even if the updates shift to once a week for a month. :(

The fact that someone felt the need to make this ppt tells me that we do need more POC representation in media. OP is citing ~historical accuracy~ for frozen being the way it is - specifically that bit about “whiteass European countries” - when SURPRISE non-white Europeans have co-existed with these so-called whiteass Europeans IN HISTORY.

The fact that they gave the late 1800’s as her example and proceeded to go “well not a lot of POCs travelled to Europe at this time makes me cringe. “But you guys don’t get it Africa and Asia were really far!” - ah yes, like distance stopped Europeans from rudely invading and establishing colonies in these areas in the 1800’s or even in the centuries before that.

Now I’m not trying to convince people to hate Frozen. It was a decent Disney movie and Let It Go is a pretty catchy song. But to invalidate POC who do dislike this movie by saying WELL IT’S DISNEY IT’S GOT SUCH A GOOD MESSAGE AND I LIKE IT SO STOP WHINING is a pretty shitty thing to do. Media representation has been and currently is still a big issue. Frozen may not be outright racist in itself (yes, the message of sisterly love is great we all got that), but the fact of the matter is that it’s contributing to the normalization of white as the standard which is kind of shitty for people who aren’t white.

So no, people aren’t ~hating just because it’s white~. People are upset because in the context of mainstream media, it’s another movie that helps perpetuate marginalization in film.

Maybe actually take a couple of history courses before you attempt to educate people on racism - or in this case “not racism”.

As someone who enjoyed the hell out of Frozen, all of this really needs to be said. And repeated. Until we don't have fucking powerpoints invalidating POC even more than Disney does.

Today’s daily sketch. I’m trying to teach myself how to ink with these new brushes. You can tell where my strokes aren’t confidence and where they are. Also the lines get too thick when I’m trying to do smaller details so I have to figure out which brushes are better for small lines.

This was done with an inking brush, a inkwash brush, and a dry ink brush. Reference of Oliver Jackson-Cohen used. And I used an overlay layer for the first time as well.

Anyway, this is for Fer, Hans from Frozen in a more realistic style. She’s writing a fanfic right now featuring him and Elsa and I’m kind of addicted to it. It’s called The Queen’s Counsel

Back to commissions tomorrow!

Look at those sideburns amg. <3

I love it. 

I especially love the inkwash, that looks so cool!

I feel like there's a fic rec post floating out there somewhere because the amount of favs/reviews I got last night was pretty overwhelming. My tablet beeps when I get an email and I had to turn the sound off in the middle of the night.

(I'm not complaining. Though my complaining is similar to my everything else.)
