“Heart-Warming” - Finn and Flame Princess

Decided to make this as a companion piece to my other Adventure Time ship:

“A Pink Dream” - Bubblegum and Marceline

Threw some extra color on this old sketch commission from back at Winter Sac-Anime 2013. No matter what I tried, this piece just had to be pink for some reason… It just didn’t seem right any other way.

“I Prefer ‘Treasure Hunter’” - Locke Cole

Another commission to fund my cat Lily’s surgery and sonogram. This one is for my pal Orinocou, who draws a Final Fantasy 6 webcomic: [link]

The commission was just a simple pencil head sketch, but I love Locke so much I couldn’t resist experimenting with some new color and shading styles.

Jennifer and Lucas are getting married on the 19th, so congratulations to them! Everyone wish them your best. :)

My progress on my fairytale ball version of Finn as Prince Hotbod from Adventure Time…

The waistcoat from the 1860’s tuxedo pattern I ordered was too short for modern tuxedo trousers, needed a straight hem, and required a lot of tweaking. With my friend Kimba’s help, I drew a new pattern and raised the point where the lapels meet, narrowed the shoulder seams, extended the collar behind the neck, added a neck facing, completed the lining, added a back vent, and added a hem facing. I made THREE muslin mock-ups before starting just to be sure I made it right.

I also made bound or welted buttonholes (since they look extra fancy) and single-welt pockets so my husband can wear his pocket watch with it. Also added a back tie with buckle, fitted the back, tacked and pressed the pleats. Ordered fox-head buttons from an equestrian store that match the shape of his fox-mask he’ll be wearing. I also made a rose-patterned teal silk cravat (instead of the bow-tie Finn is wearing since I’m re-imagining and embellishing the costume). I’m in the process of making a gold fox-head tie pin and finished the boutonniere.

Still need to take in and re-fit the wing collar shirt, dye it a pale blue, dye the dinner gloves, make the tail coat, and start working on my fairytale ball Fionna.

We’ll be wearing these to Anime Expo and The Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade Ball in July.

Hot damn. I cannot even begin to understand how that is done. THREE mock-ups?

Yeah. The first one was just the outter shell of the pattern without any changes. Then I made changes to the lapels, front center, and hemline and made another outter shell (without lining). Then I made some more changes (added a neck facing, hem facing etc) and made another mockup with the both the outter shell and the lining. On that one I messed up the collar, but was able to fix it in the final version.

[BUY THIS ONE OF A KIND FOX PLUSH]

Second half of my Fox Plush Photoshoot. AND! The fox plush is now available for purchase on my etsy! For those of you who are curious this giant fox is made of three different types of fabric made from my own custom pattern that I created from scratch. The fox itself is held together with machine and hand stitching as well as a little bit of hot glue and was hand-stuffed with almost two bags of stuffing and a little bit of cannibalized pillow. Also his tail makes a really fantastic pillow.

[First half of the Photoshoot]

Ah! I wish I could afford him!

Took a quick break from learning pixel art and finally finished the colors for the inside covers of Shane Matthew Murphy’s “Birdland” comic.

(Kickstarter coming soon.)

Ray Harryhausen was one of those artists who I honestly did not know by name until recently, but profoundly changed my life and augmented my childhood with monsters and adventure: Medusa, Kali, Calibos, Cyclops, Hydra, skeleton armies, and all other initial kindling for my passion for mythology… May this stop motion pioneer and visual effects master rest in peace.

liquor-inthe-front:

Single Woman’s Title = Miss
Married Woman’s Title = Mrs.
Unknown Woman’s Title = Ms.

Married Man’s Title = Mr.
Single Man’s Title = Mr.
Unknown Man’s Title = Mr.

Because a woman only has status if she is married

think about it.
add an apostrophe to Mrs = Mr’s.
think about it.

and then go throw up.

Actually, Mrs. is a contraction of the word “Mistress,” the feminine form of the word “Master.” “Mistress” in this case is being classically defined as a woman in a position of authority or control, or, a head of the household.

While this still isn’t quite equal, per se (as the variation in titles still reveals a woman’s marital status, while a man’s does not reveal his), the title of Mrs. does not denote male possession.
