As a woman, artist, and filmmaker I always try to keep this at the front of my mind when designing characters and writing stories. 

Even at my school, a place where we are supposed to learn to explore our creativity, I am constantly being told the same thing about my female characters: make them pretty, make them appealing.


And it disgusts me. Because the professors definition of “pretty and appealing” is one standard Disney mold. Maybe you can change the race of the character, but it always comes down to the same features: small nose, long legs, and curves for days. 

If the character is not meant to fit this adult female mold, then it better be “cute” or you get a terrible grade. 

It saddens me that many of my classmates are more than willing to conform to this mold. 

I don’t want to make female characters like everyone else. I want to make female characters with as wide amount of features and personality as any male character in any film. 

I want to change the direction of the media, and give all people real,  interesting, diverse, and complex female characters to look up to. 

[quoted] “Girls get the message from very early that what’s most important is how they look. That their value, their worth depends on that. And boys get the message that this is what’s important about girls. We get it from advertising, we get it from films, television shows, video games, everywhere we look. So no matter what else a woman does, no matter what else her achievement, their value still depends on how they look.”

Congratulations to U.P. Visayas Batch 2013!

The past few days lately consisted of me always waiting for something/someone and it was boring so I ended up doodling at the back of my thesis drafts…because it’s too much of a waste just to throw all those papers away.

Practice sketch since I’ve been dealing with nothing but codes for the past few weeks and I feel like I’ve already forgotten how to draw…
