Dastardly's Art 'n' Stuff
My name is Emma, and this is my blog where I stick both my art and other random stuff. I'm a beginning artist though, so my art isn't the best. I also am a fan of Homestuck, Zelda, the Wheel of Time series, dragons, the various kinds of 'taurs, and really anything else consider fantasy. I take (appropriate) requests, because it's good for practice. I hope you enjoy whatever you may stumble across!

kozzblog: Gem dorfs by *nebriniel Picture Description:  So according to Tolkien canon, female dwarves weren’t altogether that much different from the males, and other races confused the two genders often… most cited reason being facial hair that dwarves of all ages and genders exhibited across the board. Now if you ask me, simply drawing a bearded lady will get you… a bearded lady. I figured I needed to dig deeper, so I actually modified their body proportions to be more masculine - gave them wider shoulders and narrower hips. My sketches turned out to be a lot more exaggerated than the final product here, mostly because I kept scaling back when painting the daughter, fearing she may look too masculine. I may have to experiment with pushing it more in the future.All that said, I had an idea of painting a dwarf woman, which turned into this - a daughter bringing in a big find from the mines for her mother to inspect. The latter has been a miner herself, obviously, but at some point I suppose had to rear children, and abandon her mining career.

Zelda-remixes officially turns one year old today! Running this blog is such a joy for me, and I truly couldn’t thank my wonderful followers enough. Here’s to another year filled with Zelda music!

What Would You Do?: A transgender woman is insulted by a man at a diner. This is a really great segment they did where a trans woman, played by a real trans woman, is insulted and ridiculed by a man (played by an actor, of course) while she serves him at a diner. You’d be surprised at how many people butted in to defend her.

So much faith in humanity restored.

Fucking great how they supported her.

I may need to watch this show more often.

THIS SHOULD BE REQUIRED WATCHING FOR ALL HUMANS

I’m a 17 year old white guy living in middle class America. I’ve never exactly been a supporter of feminism because that kind of thing has never really affected me personally. I don’t notice it and I don’t care about it. But in nine minutes this video has made what is truly a serious problem extremely apparent. Those “why I need feminism” posts or those slut-shaming or rape culture campaigns never convince me of anything. But this video actually did I think.

tl;dr This video kicks ass, just watch it.

Homestuck is on a Megapause hiatus for the next few months so I think we should use this opportunity to get as many of our on-the-fence non-Homestuck friends to read it as much as we possibly can!

So I’ll just put all the need-to-know basic stuff here and…
