Your Art Is Beautiful UwU

since many have strong feelings regarding this illustration:

This is not a literal statement. This is a poem from Woman Hating by Andrea Dworkin. It is meant (as I interpret it) to draw attention to patterns in the way women are portrayed in legends, histories, folktales, religions. "Well Jezebel was actually evil!!" is missing the point. Is there a similarity between Pandora and Eve? Is it relevant that the ascent and downfall of Bathsheba and Vashti respectively pivoted on a king's gaze? The women who appear in Arthurian legend are mostly seductresses who create obstacles for the heroes - does this call Circe to mind? Is there a reason why the primary aspect of many female religious figures is their virginity, or motherhood, or both? Are there common ways these women obtain and wield power in their narratives? What attributes make them famous or infamous?

The poem does not say "all these women were reviled as witches". It asks you to think about who authored, recorded, and taught the stories they come from. That is a valuable thing to do with any story, whether or not you agree with Andrea's poem or with her feminism.

and they had this in common: that they were feared, hated, desired, and worshiped - woman hating, a.d.

love love love your art!!!

thank you for the kind words! it's been a long long time since I got anything digital done and this is good inspiration 💛

Do you have Instagram? Also have you drawn anything from GoT or LOTR?

no instagram, sorry. i’ve never had even a personal one & i feel like it’s not worth getting an art one until my style is more consistent and/or i have a couple thousand followers here... this blog is still quite wee. never seen GoT but i was big into LOTR/the Silmarillion before uni... maybe I’ll do something from there this month!!
