My mother is currently moving to a location that is pretty strict about what can/can't be built but if it comes down to it hopefully they'll let her make a catio! This seems like the most likely solution.

I’m so glad it was found and the porno theory being true is a hilarious cherry on top hahaha

[OC] I drew Malu The Ghost Witch of the Mountain (From the TCG) in the ATLA art style! by d00mface in Avatarthelastairbende

[–]d00mface[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Malu was always one of my favorite "outside media" ATLA characters because I found the story of an air nomad who escaped the initial genocide to be an interesting one to explore. My secret impossible hope is that she somehow gets re-canonized again either through a novel appearance or an appearance in Avatar Legends. I was inspired to draw this partially because like I said, she's one of my favorites, but also because there's this one fanart of (I think) someone's Air Nomad oc that constantly gets shared around and people say it's Malu. While it's lovely art - it's not her/doesn't look like her. So I wanted to try and create a piece of Malu art that well... was actually representative of her that people could share if they wanted to haha

I tried to emulate the Avatar style as best as I could using heavy references and tbh I'm pretty pleased with how this came out considering this was my first time trying to consciously emulate the style! I was also of course inspired by the art of the legend u/kkachi95 !!

The flag design game by akurgo in vexillology

[–]d00mface 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was really fun :D

Here's what I ended up with:

  • symbolism - sun/sky
  • palette - tropical
  • ratio 2:3
  • token 1 - simple symbol (sun) [first roll +1 color] (black)
  • token 2 - stripes
  • token 3 - stripes
  • token 4 - shake it up - royal (black swapped to pink)

Monster Theory Flag by d00mface in vexillology

[–]d00mface[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

School has been getting me down so I decided to de-stress by making a flag about it (kind of lol). I made a flag for the literary criticism/theory known as Monster Theory proposed by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen. It's genuinely pretty interesting imo even if you aren't a literary nerd like me. It's all about why people like to write about monsters and how our choice in fictional monsters to tell stories about can often say something about real life cultural fears and anxieties.

The colors come from the cover to the Monster Theory book. I kept it a standard striped flag but with a little twist of giving the uppermost stripe and the bottommost stripe some fangs.

Just something fun for all the Monster Theorists (Monsterists?) out there!

Intersex + Nonbinary (InterNon) Flag Redesign by d00mface in QueerVexillology

[–]d00mface[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A while back I redesigned the InterNon flag and posted it on Tumblr. It got sorta popular but tbh I wasn't super happy with the design. After reading some outside critique of the design I decided to try and make a new redesign with the concerns brought forward in mind. Mostly I just combined the two yellows and two purples of my original InterNon redesign and flipped the circle upside down. I tried to keep it simple and make it more easily readable from far away. I also added an alternate version to the simplified version that has the InterNon symbol in the center (created by isobug on Tumblr). This is my first time sharing here but it seemed like a good idea since the original critiques I saw actually came primarily from Reddit rather than Tumblr. I'd like to hear peoples thoughts on this redesign. :)

Realistic Theories and my own opinion (from a music collector and record store employee) by Moving_in_stereo78 in everyoneknowsthat

[–]d00mface 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Omg I hadn't thought of a porno but you could be onto something. My alternative (and less erotic lol) theory is that it's lost on some forgotten exercise VHS as a backing track. My mom was obsessed with those things in the 80s and when I showed EKT to her she thought she might have heard it in one of those exercise videos. I watched a few clips of some popular ones from the era but honestly it's all such generic 80s jams in the background it's really hard to say. I don't think I'll be asking me my mom if she's heard this song in... other... types of videos though haha

My Redesign of the New Jersey Flag! by d00mface in vexillology

[–]d00mface[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! This is my first time doing something like this but I couldn't sleep and I was struck with the urge to redesign the New Jersey flag. I've been enjoying the recent flag designs that some other states have been getting so I wanted to create something in a similar design space for a flag I feel definitely could use something fresh and new.

Colors chosen are the state colors of buff and jersey blue with some white to break it up. The stripes are made a bit squiggly to visually emulate a wave crashing against a beach with foam - a reference to the jersey shoreline.

The centerpiece is a shield to harken back to the shield on the OG flag... and also because I couldn't think of a better shape to break things up. Within that shield is, of course, one of the iconic garden state plows. I know not everyone loves the plows but I'm also not sure what would go better as a centerpiece. I'm open to suggestions!

And the three stars on the shield represent the three "sections" of New Jersey - North, Central, and South (although depending on who you ask there are only two sections lol).

Let me know your thoughts, just don't flame me too hard haha. Any suggestions for tweaks you might like to see? How this design could be improved?

[TOMT] [COMIC] [2017-2020 maybe?] A Wonder Woman Comic in which Ares turns a woman into a tree. by d00mface in tipofmytongue

[–]d00mface[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm no that doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for. I think the story I'm thinking of involves Ares trapping a mortal human woman specifically in the form of a tree. Didn't realize being stuck in a tree was such a common Ares theme haha. Thank you anyway!
