SDCC Showcase: Warrior Wonder Woman!

Had an absolute blast wearing Warrior Wonder Woman at SDCC. Surprisingly, I made it all day hauling around the incredibly heavy shield, proving that the dedicated lifting these past few months has yielded some results!

For anyone who hasn’t seen this costume before, it’s an original collaboration between artist Tess Fowler and I. I’ve always adored Diana’s Amazon roots, and wanted to pay tribute to that aspect of her legacy. Tess helped me flesh out the design, and then I went to work on the costume!

More photos coming soon - Ljinto and I worked some magic together! :D

Performing ridiculous masculinity?

I threw out this question on Google+, but I thought I'd post here too. So in STA, all female adventurers have the following special moves: Sexy Fu Once per combat, you may choose to re-roll any die by choosing to do one of the following: Narrate how your character is attacking the enemy from a boobs-and-butt stance while making your best attempt to demonstrate that pose. (No cheating now. Make an honest effort.) Or: Narrate how your character is attacking the enemy while you, the player, make Inappropriate Pornface. (Again, no cheating.) Too Hot to Fail Once per session, you may choose to re-roll any die rolled as part of a social interaction with NPCs. Make your best case for why they should do what you want, then describe how circumstances are contriving to make your character look particularly sexy. (No “my boobs are big” or “my hair looks great”. Try for descriptions that might be found in a romance novel or slashfic.) ---- In the current version, The Dude (because there is only one male adventurer per campaign) does not have an equivalent special move. I am, however, re-thinking that. So what can I have The Dude's player do that would play up ridiculous performance of masculinity? Junk thrusting? Ridiculous flexing? Help me out! The more over-the-top, the better!

"SHOW ME YOUR PUSSY"

This might be the weirdest, most amazing, most brain-breaking tumblr I've seen in a long, long time. It's like Escher Girls as interpreted by a race of cat aliens who don't understand sex. (Super nsfw, obviously.)

I love Anita Sarkeesian and Feminist Frequency. LOVE. So I get really upset at the bullshit that gets hurled her way for daring to be a woman with an opinion on the internet. THE HORROR.

So I thought I'd poke fun at the astonishing unoriginality of Anita Sarkeesian' critics with a sarcastic flow chart, because who doesn't love sarcastic flow charts?. (For a full explanation, check out my post here on Gaming as Women.)

Ah! Didn't realise you had a tumblr! It's your fault (via GoMakeMeASandwich) that I really started to understand the problems games have with representation etc :)

Yeah, I suppose I should link the two. This is more meant to be an art/game design blog. But it's kind of inevitable that feminism is going to spill over here.

I'm really glad that GMMaS made a difference for you.

(Speaking of art...)

We went to the beach yesterday with my daughter, who is 11 months old. Afterwards we stopped at Crabby Joe's which has brown craft paper on the tables and free crayons, so I drew my daughter in her watermelon swimsuit. Yes, that's as cute as it sounds.
