reblog to slap his bald head
The Pope, famously known for owning a copy of Undertale gifted to him by Game Theory's Matpat, has passed away at the age of 88
Did something dumb with my food and nearly dropped my sandwich. Then proceeded to call myself crazy in my head before immediately remembering where I actively am. š
In your Jewel redesign, you said that Wasp probably wouldnāt let her get away with full drag, but that does make me curious. What would a dragon in drag would look like?
you will not BELIEVE how much I've thought about this, both during and after designing her. I can answer your question and beyond!!
In order to properly explore Pantalan drag, I first looked to the (cultural) definition of drag itself, as well as learning some brief history. With the first known preformance occurring in 1867 (Although not truly popularized until the 19th century,) Human Rights Campaign and other LGBTQ+ organizations describe drag as a preformance art form that uses costumes, makeup and other tools to illustrate exaggerated expressions of gender identity, intended to critique gender inequality or other social justice issues. Drag has traditionally been preformed/pioneered by members of the LGBTQ+ community, predominantly gay men and/or people of color.
With this in mind, Pantalan drag was most likely created and developed by Silkwings (especially in jewel hive) as a form of protest art. I imagine the movement was later popularized by hivewing audiences, becoming more palatable to the wider public after being endorsed by a privileged group as art movements often are. While there are a myriad of social justice issues Pantalan drag could have originally meant to critique, the loss of Silkwing rights and deforestation of Pantala were probably the two main driving topics.
As for the actual production of drag costumes or makeup, Silkwings would have had to work with what was available to them - fruits, vegetables, basic dyes/craft materials and their own silk. They would construct their own jewelry using beads instead of gold, weave their garments, and grind mica with pigments and oil to make eyeshadow.
Leaves, roots and trees would be frequent design elements of early drag: with the eye-catching glamour of a dragon working to simultaneously distract detractors and seek out supporters. Heavy accessorizing and imagery of wealth would also be important to presenting Silkwings as equal to Hivewings, through metaphorical sense. The processes of creating Pantalan drag is what leads me to believe it would prosper best in jewel hive: outside of their relaxed rules and support of Silk/Hive equality, they would also have easiest access to craft materials, dyes and a lively art scene.. endorsed by Lady Jewel herself.
Just a few thoughts on drag. Thanks for asking this question! I was looking for a chance to spill and you gave it to me ( Ā“ ā½ ` ).ļ½”ļ½ā”
DRAGONETS OF DESTIINYYYYY
genuinely how it feels trying not to be mean to people who leave stupid shit on my posts
Hermit-A-Day May 11! Cubfan135 :)
Honestly, I donāt know much about Cub, but it was fun to draw his vex wings, sculk patches, and glasses :). Infecting a whole server with skulk is iconic honestly. I love the way his hair turned out and that hand is just, *chefs kiss*.
I am living for the Eeyore type vibes in her face and posture <3
I need you guys to know that my sister thought tamarin was orange until I showed her my art and she was confused because she didn't picture her as blue š¤§
this is my favorite design so far,,,,
Just an artist of all kinds (āÆĀ°ā”°)āÆļøµ ā»āā»Also a little mentally ill <3
