Leanie van der Vyver - Scary Beautiful
Artist’s statement:
“Humans are Playing God by physically and metaphorically perfecting themselves. Beauty is currently at an all time climax, allowing this project to explore what lies beyond perfection. Scary Beautiful challenges current beauty ideals by inflicting an unexpected new beauty standard.”
THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY I COULD VOMIT EVERYWHERE
JUST VOMIT
EVERYWHERE
wtfffffffffffff
in that third picture she looks like an anthropomorphic chair sitting on a chair jesus christ
the shoes look like chopsticks, was that supposed to be what happened
also they look fucking painful who would go around wearing these holy fuck
isn’t that like the point of the piece tho…?
i don’t think anyone’s supposed to be actually buying these or anything asfjgdhj
its 2013 and the idea of fashion as fine art still eludes people
Critical thinking? who has time for that?
uh huh…I don’t know about anyone else, but looks to me like ‘in progress’ shots for a new Silent Hill monster or something x3
Why would someone think those were a good idea?
Last time I checked, you can’t copyright a pose. Has this changed in the last two days? Did I miss the memo?
So, I got in trouble for referencing a pose from another artist’s work. Is this truly something that could call for legal action against me? Because, really, I see this occurring all the time, but apparently this was a big enough deal with this artist that she told me to take down my latest W. I. P. with that silent, but still threatening “Or else” hanging on the end. So took it down and deleted it completely from my computer, even though I’ve been working on it for almost a year now, in a moment of intense anger and frustration. Now I regret it more than anything; am as angry at my as I was at her.
Poses can’t be patented or copyrighted. So why did I get in trouble at all?
Am I really so naive of the internet world for artists that I am so clueless of some unspoken role about referencing from another artist? why is it seen as cute or even clever when other artists do it, but when I did it, it called for offense to betaken?
I guess it is just something I will never understand; not sure if I want to.
I’m still angry, still frustrated, and still upset, so I may regret putting these words up on the internet later. But for now, I just needed to release some steam.
I’m done.
A random ball pit is set up in the middle of a city
And this is what happens as people approach it.and suddenly I’m crying??
yep, I’m actually crying.
Probably the most random and most awesome way to make a new friend. All cities should have this =)
Then everything changed when the brain blocks attacked.
Ceara Ilthien -Guild Wars 2- character bust by *RavenSylphe
A quick bust that I created earlier today of my elementalist from Guild Wars 2. Very minimal shading and highlights. Was kinda fun to do. May do more of these in the future.

Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link.
Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.
This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.
Hope you like it!
will it get done? …maybe tomorrow…
