deviantArtist shoomlah created a redesign of Pocahontas for her gorgeous “Historical Disney Princesses” series, in which she took cues from the films as to their probable time periods, researched the dress of those periods, and redrew the Princesses in clothing with a higher (though still stylized) degree of accuracy.
She received honest critique on some elements of her Pocahontas design, from people more familiar with actual 17th century Powhatan dress and history, some of whose ancestry was rooted in that history. And, to her very great credit, she took that critique graciously to heart and chose to create an even lovelier and more historically accurate version of her design which incorporated what she had learned. She also specifically cited her own concerns over misrepresenting a real person, as opposed to a fairy tale character, as part of her explanation for the change.
No hard feelings, no anger or insecurity. Just sensible integrity, an open heart, and a willingness to expand her own horizons.
This is how you do it, guys. ♥
Also, let’s emphatize honest critique.

Frigga and Loki for Reg. <3
BB, you are so giving and thoughtful that I wish I could do more for you all day every day. You put up with my spaciness and my short attention span, and you make us all so happy with your awesome sense of humor. (And many, many Namor asks) I was already trying to do this in SAI the other day, but since I couldn’t finish it up, I thought this would be more appropriate anyway. I’ll make you a prettier paintier one when I can. I love you girl. <33333

The more time I take for the lineart the messier the colours haha
I had this opened in Painter the entire day, but every time I thought “Let’s DO this” I was put off by Thor’s circle armor things. Free hand circles are the worst.I want to see The Avengers so very bad.
good night!

RAISING FUND FOR MY MOTHER’S BREAST CANCER TREATMENT.
Some people asked if there’s a way to help me directly instead of through Indiegogo’s campaign page because they take away 9% on each contribution, so I decided to do fundraising with my art print in addition to the campaign.

Residents of a market town have been left stumped by these mysterious tree carvings thought to have been created an anonymous guerrilla artist. The astounding carvings have transformed regular trees into a dragon, a kingfisher and a ghostly figure. The local civic society in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, said it is bemused over who came up with the eye-catching intricate designs, which are between 10 and 20 feet high. They said they wanted to thank the elusive artist for creating a new tourist attraction for the area, which now goes alongside the popular Mother Shipton’s Cave. The carvings are thought to have appeared about two months ago, but no-one has ever seen the artist leaving their creative imprint on the tree trunks. The civic society is currently trying to track down the artist and is urging them to get in touch in an attempt to solve the mystery.
