my blog:
interests: dandyism, fashion & costuming, gothic beauty, ancient & medieval history, sci-fi & fantasy anything, baseball, Latin, westerns, archery, yaoi, cats, red hair, black eyeliner, Macs, dressing like an insane asylum escapee, sleep, and eggs florentine. I have a great (and obvious) affection for gender study and revolution. artistic inspirations: lace, ruffles, ribbons, frock coats, tailcoats, top hats, thigh-high boots, platform shoes, corsets, stockings, long hair, leather, eyeliner, gloves, collars, stripes, armwarmers. 10th-12th centuries; 17th-19th centuries. femininity in masculinity and masculinity in femininity; genderfucks and genderbenders; hermaphrodites and androgynes; crossdressing and beautiful men. if women are hot in menswear, men are damn hot in women's clothes, too. style: Japanese shojo manga/anime crossed with Disney animation; or stylized realism; or all-out full-blown realism. tools:0.7mm mechanical pencil; erasers. Hilroy sketchbooks (Strathmore if I am feeling fancy). acrylic or watercolour paints. Photoshop CS3; Wacom tablet. MacBook & OS X. |
the artist: Cait "Shakoriel" Bens, Canadian gothic victorian foppish dandy with a bit of a colourblind anime punk problem. I'm an artist and a writer/poet and a dilettante in general. The characters you see in my fantasy art mostly come from my fantasy trilogy (which I'm trying to get published) and some other stories of the same world.
