I think regardless of style or personality, your character should run properly. Awkward run ruins everything.

Don’t believe me? Try running the wrong way, see how far that gets you.

For clarity’s sake: the difference between right and wrong here is the arms. Your arms travel opposite your legs.

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog.

I feel like I’ve been preparing for this image all my life.

The internet is over, everyone can go home

It’s just as beautiful as I always imagined.

My life is complete.

Now I’m wondering if every pangram has come true at some point. o_o  If somebody finds a video of the one about the cow in heat keeping secret that the sheep are dealing drugs, then I think the universe has just exploded.

One thing that’s always bugged me just as much, if not more, as battle bikini’s and boobplates is what I sometimes refer to a ‘spandex chainmaile’.

Now, I’ve been involved with a medieval recreation group (The Society for Creative Anachronism), and have handled and even worn maile myself.  And the simple fact is that chainmaile’s only function is to keep you from being cut. As I used to say at demos, it turns a sword strike into a baseball bat hit.  And even then, it’s almost useless against bludgeoning and piercing weapons  As a result, people who wear chain, both today and in history, augmented it with a heavy padded tunic, often with leather or metal plates in vital areas.

And that’s what bothers me looking at artists who think putting chainmaile on their subjects just means drawing links on skin (and there are plenty examples of pics of men in maile where you can make out their pecs and ‘six-pack’).  All that is going to do is add some useless weight to the wearer.

But, as we all know, realistic armor isn’t ‘sexy’…

You possibly found the scariest image of skin-tight ‘armor’ on the Internet. Chainmail boobsocks + metal-protruding nipples… the horror, the horror!

Great commentary! Thank you so much for sharing it (I bolded some parts for emphasis). ‘Spandex chainmail’ or skin-tigh metal of any kind is probably the most physics-defying trope concerning female armor.
The funniest thing about it is that actual spandex (or latex or any actually skin-hugging material) doesn’t act that way either… neither does a naked female body.

I find “sexy” images like that so confusing-beyond the stupidity and impracticality, I just don’t get why it would be attractive. I’m a mostly straight girl, but I can appreciate the aesthetic qualities of a lovely pair of boobs as much as anyone, and those…are not lovely boobs. REAL boobs-big, small, natural, implanted, round, oval, whatever, are nice to look at. Those look nothing like any kind of real boob-they look like oddly oblong balloons awkwardly pasted onto the chest. It’s not sexy or appealing, it’s *weird looking* in a way that a more realistically modeled body just wouldn’t be. I mean, if you really want a tiny woman with a large chest, look at Kristen Chenowith-it’s certainly a figure type that’s possible, if not plausible for every female character to have. And ideally, of course, there would be more body diversity. But I know that that’s a lot (sarcasm) to ask for; however, I don’t get why it’s so much to ask for non-ridiculous art of those tiny-waisted, huge-breasted women. BOOBS DON’T LOOK OR WORK LIKE THAT, AND DRAWING THEM THAT WAY IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT. I am honestly at a loss as to who would find that sexy, because it just looks cartoonish-and not in a good DCAU/Disney way. This is what happens when objectification collides with terrible art, and it’s not pretty. 

This commentary, I like it.

New images from Disney Pixar’s Frozen

Fearless optimist Anna (Kristen Bell) teams up with Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) in an epic journey, encountering Everest-like conditions, and a hilarious snowman named Olaf in a race to find Anna’s sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter.

in theaters November 27th

Man, I was really looking forward to this film when it was announced, but the character designs & overall style are so freaking boring. What happened to the awesome designs they showed a few years ago? The Ice Queen had such a GREAT look!

Maybe the plot will redeem the generic look, idk.

I had the same thoughts about visuals for a looong time now. Yeah, Anna may not be a photoshopped Rapunzel but she still looks like her generic relative.

Also I don’t have much hope neither for plot (why did they invent a totally new story? wasn’t original Snow Queen good enough?) nor for the characters (those sidekicks look VERY annoying).
TL/DR: won’t give my money to this.

A brief comic in response to what I hear often.  It’s a little personal, but I think a lot of my fellow artist friends can empathize.

All of the above: SO TRUE! It never gets less awkward to hear “It must be nice to do what you love”… Its weird to realize that people see exclusively artist as the group who turns their interests into profession.

wait, it just occurred to me––

why, in the MRA mindset, is it all right to reduce all feminists (or, um, women) to one big giant mean group, but it is THE WORST THING when women don’t see each individual man as the complicated sum of his life process? 

for some reason this particular hypocrisy is really striking to me

ETA: NEVER VISIT THE MISANDRY TAG OH LORD

Because, as a whole, feminists and MRAs are too egotistic to see they are, apparently, fighting for the same thing.

I am very dubious about the fact that MRAs and feminists are fighting for the same thing. That does not seem like the case to me.

Ostensibly, this is true. If MRAs were truly interested in gender equality, feminists and MRAs would be natural allies. But… MRAs aren’t interested in gender equality.

Instead MRAs overwhelmingly tend to be misogynists, and blind to fact that all of the toxic tropes of masculinity that exist in our culture are founded in sexism against women. Men have trouble keeping custody of their kids? Women are expected to be mothers — and nothing more than mothers. Male rape and molestation is wildly underreported? Men are supposed to be gagging for sex all the time (men are the aggressors in our social structures of romance and dating, and women are the resistors) and admitting this isn’t the case, or that they weren’t “strong enough” to fight off their attacker, is feminizing and a source of shame. Men are expected to be emotionless and stoic, and aren’t allowed to have tender or loving or sensitive nonromantic relationships with each other or other women? Or their children? Women are supposed to be emotional and irrational; showing that you, as a man, are emotional and irrational is, again, feminizing and a source of shame.

MRAs refuse to acknowledge this dichotomy. Most of the ones I’ve had the misfortune of dealing with insist that women are just as responsible for rape (it’s assumed that 99% of rapists are male, regardless of the gender of their victims); that the pay gap is a myth despite overwhelming evidence that it isn’t; have no understanding of feminism and assume that all feminists hate men and want to establish a matriarchy, or that a matriarchy currently exists; and generally hide behind their overwhelming fear of women with completely fucking delusional beliefs about what equality entails.

It’s been said before, and I’ll say it again: men are afraid women will reject them. Women are afraid men will kill them. Misandry annoys. Misogyny kills.

THIS. Last part bolded by yours truly.
