Celebrating Valentine's day with the first in what will be a series of pieces this year illustrating the sleeping beauty fairytale!
EDIT: did a slight update on this piece to make it warmer and add a bit more light and shadow~!

Happy Faire Friday!
The sun is out and making me nostalgic for faire season.
Missing all my armored faire friends and crew.
I hope you all have a magical weekend. I can't wait for the New years shenanigans. ✨️
With @unicorn-shieldmaiden & Sarah F. ❤️
Photos thanks to Liv F.H.

Éowyn   ‘A sword rang as it was drawn. “Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may.”’ I painted this back in November 2017, on the kind request of Will o' Wisps for John Howe’s visit to AthensCon 2017. I had the good fortune to meet him there and give him a print of it. He had very kind words about it, leaving me on cloud nine, because Howe is one of my earliest art heroes. The Lord of the Rings has very few women characters in it, something that has been the point of criticism almost from its publication in the 50s. It might be for this reason that Éowyn stood out for me, but also because I was moved by how much understanding Tolkien showed for her situation. When she wants to go to war, she is dissuaded by Aragorn, and is rightly bitter about it: ‘She answered: "All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death." "What do you fear, lady?" he asked. "A cage," she said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”’ Tolkien gave Éowyn a voice, and not only that, but also a chance to prove her valour and to change the course of the history of Middle Earth as no one else but her could have. He wrote little of women, it’s true. The little he did write, though, was with deep humanity.

REVOLUTIONARY GIRL UTENA
Of COURSE I had to do an armour set for Utena! Tried to go for something with heroic princely vibes! I ended up referencing Charles V's gold & black armour a lot more than expected, ha.

Ended up needed to get this illustration out of my soul, so I've been working on this for a couple days.

Happy Faire Friday!
Taking a break from this cold weather to reminisce about warmer times at faire with @unicorn-shieldmaiden.
The sun was so intense that day, but thankfully we had some watery wenches to douse us off afterwards. lol
A huge thank you to Liv F.H. for capturing these moments. 💗
