Just wanted to thank y'all so much for appreciating my vintage rogues!! I've been having a long stupid week but it makes me a lot happier knowing people like a project I've put a lot of time and thought into, which I rarely ever do lol. I know it's not a ton of notes but I was still pleasantly surprised..... especially since being a yapper AND a nerd is usually not a recipe for quick n easy posting lmao
In one episode of the Scooby Doo Show, Velma mentioned that she knew Morse code beacuse she was in girl scouts.... when I tell you I SCREAMED because I was ALSO in girl scouts (though I never learned morse code :/ ) and because two of my special interests are scooby doo and vintage fashion, but one of my, like, sub categories of special interests lol under vintage fashion is the history of girl scouts and vintage gs uniforms!! They were sososososoo cute and they changed with the fashion of the times <33 I own a 1939 junior uniform too! ANYWAYS this had to be created. The gang's ages aren't really specified and obviously they haven't aged over the years but since SD started 1969/1970, lets suppose Velma was a girl scout in the early to mid 60s. I put her in a senior uniform and tried to be as accurate as possible. yeah that's it!!!!
oc reveal I guess!! spidersona? maybe?? can I call her a spidersona if she doesn't have spider powers??? Idk still working on her design but her name is nellie <3
The Baltimore Sun, Maryland, August 23, 1942
Portrait of one of my OCs, Lirien of Doriath
This was my design for the Riddler, please ignore the fact that he has no hands 😭 I thought I would get around to drawing them but I didn't. Pretend he's smoking or holding a loaf of bread or something.
ANYWAYS I didn't have an idea on what I wanted to do for him until I came across a documentary on the Enigma code in WW2 and was like "huh I forgot about that" - all I have on my 1940s-ish version of him so far is that he was born poor but accumulated wealth, and adopted the guise of a bored rich socialite to cope with the fact he grew up dirt poor. Germany was left pretty much starved of resources after the treaty that ended WW1 so that's probably why. The Enigma code was developed in Germany shortly after WW1 but in my universe I like to think he invented it because haha. Inventing a nearly unbreakable code and then naming it after yourself sounds like something Riddler would do lol
I think he'd wear a lot of military inspired clothing, he seems like he'd be really into bomber jackets. I gave him a tiny mustache because I think it's funny that all the bad guy gangster thugs in old movies have one
Top Gun sketches! ✈️
I made this drawing last September I think?? in a mad frenzy after I saw the trailer for Caped Crusader, and even though I'm not the biggest fan of the colors I still liked Harley's design and her involvement in the series :)
Hey are you actually interested in the history of Girl Scout uniforms because man oh man do I have some resources for you.
Yes. Yes I am. I dug through three whole boxes of girl scout stuff in my historical society's attic. I'm planning on doing an exhibit of the uniforms they have at some point. I haunt their attic for free.
Seriously though any resources would be helpful!! When looking online I found pretty much just summarized short versions of the history of GS uniforms from 1920-1960, nowhere near enough. However in my historical society's attic they had a book meant for collectors, and it had every badge and uniform and rank, and they were organized precisely by year which was quite a relief when putting together my 1939 GS outfit. But! That's the most I've found. One thing I haven't been able to find out is why some scouts had red kerchiefs, and some scouts had yellow ones. Doesn't seem to be because of rank, is it just troops' choice like the crest???? Idk if anyone can help me answer that one it'd be much appreciated lol
I realized I've never properly drawn Thea in her winter outfit <3 i know y'all don't know who she is but every time I post art of her I'm too lazy to explain sooo. curse of mysterious lady be upon ye
she/her ⟡ 21 ⟡ artist, always sfw!! currently stuck in a spider-man phase :/
