“My friends and I did Rule 63 Uncharted cosplay before it was cool.”
Oops sometimes OC cosplays happen :I I swear this was all accidental. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MODELS FOR A PHOTOSHOOT… but of course Miss Del and I can’t just… put clothing on and pretend to be a nameless character whom we know nothing about. Nope, we have to become that character… and know them personally.
The only way to do that is to make new babies.
Some quick backstory of how this happened: our good photographer buddy had a vision for a retro pulp/adventure shoot that he’s been wanting to do for years now… and asked us if we’d be his models. Of course, we obliged and started gathering items for the two characters: a noir-type private investigator… and a learned action dame, who combine forces to go on various adventures together… in each of their respective genres. We immediately grew attached to this idea, and we had to make legit characters out of them! We couldn’t resist!
And thus, our new OC babies were born. Introducing Jack Casey, private eye… and sassy globetrotting lady, Eve Garnet ♥
ADVENTURES AWAIT.
My thesis project, Dom & Sub, a.k.a. why I’ve been such a bad tumblr-er/bad friend/etc. My artist statement:
Dom & Sub is a body of illustrative work in digital media that attempts to humanize practitioners of BDSM and offer a representation of kinky sex that not only refutes negative stereotypes but informs the audience that sadomasochistic play is done best between happy, healthy, and consenting adults. I portrayed the couple in the work not only engaging in S&M play but also building a “scene” together and nurturing one another after the play has concluded; these are moments often left unconsidered or completely ignored in visual representations of S&M. I believe it’s important to see how kinky scenes are crafted with care, commitment to safety and enthusiastic consent in order to limit those times when sadomasochistic play is used to abuse or dehumanize other human beings. It is my hope that my audience will learn from the illustrations that sadomasochistic play is not always dark or scary, and that fellow ‘kinksters’ can enjoy tender representations of S&M that do not ridicule or pathologize them. I’ve designed the work to engage sadomasochistic imagery, material and theory with an ethical conscience.
Reblog if you love to write.
Whether it be fanfiction, original stories, drabbles, songs, poems, books, or anything that has to do with creative words, then reblog. Let’s gather all the writers of Tumblr together.
So I haven’t been around much the last couple weeks, but last weekend Miss Del and I attended Morphicon! Such fun times! We didn’t cosplay, but we did wear some Steampunk and animal inspired outfits ;D It was my first furry con but dear god, everyone was so sweet. Such a blast! We got to hang with awesome friends and even made some new ones! ♥ And of course, tons of art happened. We got so much artwork of our new OC babies hnnngh ♥ Next up, Colossalcon!
