This is still the actual best profile on OKC and probably the only one I would give a second thought.
This might be my favourite thing on the internet.
Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.
Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link.
Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.
This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.
Hope you like it!
I’ve never played a Zelda game in my life but I want this.
Can we talk about how Elementary casted a trans*woman as a trans*woman
Can we talk about how they didn’t make her storyline about how she is trans* AND she was seen as something desirable
Can we talk about how she had OCD but it wasn’t something that was made fun of or a…
I sketched some Elf soliders from the Silmarillion in the Livestream today! These are the three armies/peoples to first fight Morgoth around the beginning of the First Age.
- The one on the left is a soldier from Doriath, a Middle-Earth Sindar Kingdom that’s largely hidden within a great forest, its capital consisting of a massive cave system. While Doriath Elves aren’t “High Elves” who have travelled to the West before, they’re a force to be reckoned with during the war against Morgoth. They’re of Teleri descent, so they are very tall and thin, and those of Doriath are adept at fighting in dense woods.
- The second is an Elf soldier of the Noldor, who comprise many of the most famous Elves in the Silmarillion. They are proud and daring, and above all else are master craftspeople and blacksmiths, which their armor reflects. Noldor are shorter than their Teleri cousins, but notably more muscular. This soldier here is wearing dark paint across her eyes to mark her dedication toward defeating Morgoth and recovering the Silmarils, which the Noldor Fëanor had crafted.
- The third is a member of the Laiquendi, or Green-Elves. They were a woods-dwelling people who allied themselves with the Elves of Doriath when Morgoth first returned to Middle-Earth. Unlike more familiar Elves, the Laiquendi were not technologically advanced, using no metal and clothing themselves in leaves and grass. They were highly secretive, and only participated in a handful of conflicts during the First Age before disappearing from history.
For more info, here’s my previous post on Elves in the Silmarillion.
The Noldor is bamf and gorgeous all at once. Love this.
