Art and Illustration by Christina Kester. Baby Steps or Giant Leaps. Refreshing an Older Piece →. Tools, Tips, and Safety – Part 1. August 4, 2015. My work space is a table in my living room in front of a window. I have two small kids at home, so I do my best to make sure any smoke from the burning doesn’t stick around. I have a box fan in the window that blows outward. I also use a Gourd Master Woodburning Buddy, which you can find here. That’s a lot to consider. So what do I burn on? Basswood – T...

Artemisia: Heroes and Heroines: Assumptions in Character Design

http://the-artemisia.blogspot.com/2009/06/heroes-and-heroines-assumptions-in.html

Monday, August 24, 2009. Heroes and Heroines: Assumptions in Character Design. So Jason Chan is doing a cool new series of downloadable video tutorials for Massive Black DVD. It's this snippet of the Heroes volume that I wanted to talk about today. So, a lot of the time female characters are sexy and strong, and it's almost like trying to sell love to the player audience. You know, you want to care for this character, maybe find her attractive, but also you are playing the character so she should be ...

Artemisia: June 2009

http://the-artemisia.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 15, 2009. ComicCon 2009: Are you kidding me? Women don't play video games. Women don't like action movies. Women don't know about computers. Women can't paint fantasy art. And to add a new one to that list, apparently women don't go to comic conventions. At least they don't go to San Diego's Comic Con. According to the video game site IGN and the LA Times. Originally went out of its way to exclude women. Thank you to the articles at io9. Boys, if you're so proud of having balls, you'd better...

Artemisia: Clearing Up Some Misconceptions

http://the-artemisia.blogspot.com/2009/08/clearing-up-some-misconceptions.html

Tuesday, August 25, 2009. Clearing Up Some Misconceptions. I’ve been thinking about some of our reader comments lately, both on the blog and on Twitter, and I thought I’d try to clarify our position on some of these things. It's hard to respond to some of these in less than 140 characters :). We believe that it’s important to even that up a little, and the only way to do that is to get people to THINK about it. To think about why certain choices are made, and to hopefully help people realize th...A singl...

Thursday, July 16, 2009. Women in Fantasy Art on Ninja Mountain. This week's episode of Ninja Mountain features a segment with Anne Stokes and Socar Myles talking about women working in fantasy art. They talk about how their gender has impacted their careers, some of the more egregious missteps people have made with them because they are female, and how being female has influenced their work.

Blue Moon Atelier Journal: November 2014

http://bluemoonatelier.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Back From The Realm. So very much missing my tribe today. What a lovely time was had at ‪. 2014 It very much rejuvenates my spirit and renews my faith in humanity. The community there is filled with people who radiate kindness and acceptance (with the rare exception, of course - whoever stole those Amy Brown Fantasy Art Inc. Wing sets intended to début there deserves to be excommunicated from the realm). It was such a joy to reconnect with friends (hugs to Lithia Knopp, Jenny Davies- Reazor. I am an arti...
