One day late for the anniversary, but...

[spqrblues]

This will be the final design for the first t-shirt (click to see larger) unless anyone spots any glitches or anatomical iffiness or has any other suggestions. Imagine it on a blue t-shirt (so the blue background would be the fabric of the shirt):




Next up, a final design for a Sweetums shirt :)

<3<3<3<3<3 I'm so going to have to get one! And I just love how Venus has a healthy body structure, and how Felix's hand is on Mus's shoulder, and Sweetums roaring in the back, and and and...

(And despite himself, Domitian looks suspiciously hot. XD )

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

That is SO nice to hear. Someone passed by the screen while I was cleaning up the art and said something not-complimentary about Venus' physique. Grrgh.

As for Domitian, he always looks suspicious. Er, wait, I think that's not what you meant :) Well, his contemporaries claim he was an attractive guy, but who would have dared tell him anything other than that he was absolutely the handsomest Caesar ever to grace the imperial palace?

I want one!! And piffle on the person who didn't like your Venus... I love the way you draw her. Real goddesses have curves!

[pikku-gen.livejournal.com]

This. A woman with some fat on her is bound to be healthier than one without any, so of course an immortal goddess would have a delicious helping of it.

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

Yes, she's healthy, dagnabbit. Pear-shaped and proud :)

Besides, we know from their statuary that Romans preferred that body type! Up until the very recent era, skinny meant underfed/ low class.

One thing I keep wondering... is her absence of navel because she is a goddess, thus not born the normal way?

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

I think you may be the first person to have mentioned it. Maybe the second. But still: yes, that'd be it.

[amedia.livejournal.com]

That's what I was thinking, too.

[kit-the-brave.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I totally want one, but I'll have to get the Sweetums one too, especially since I can wear that one to work. Not sure I could explain Domitian's nekkididity at work.

And Venus looks awesome! Reminds me a bit of this costume from last years' Star Wars Weekend, clearly another woman you don't want to mess with.

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

Would they believe you at work if you said he's wearing speedos under that robe?

[palusbuteo.livejournal.com]

YYYAYYYY!!

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

Hmm...I do still owe a Seianti sketch, don't I. I'm sure she'd be miffed not to be on the poster :P

Venus is absolutely perfect! Fie on anyone who says otherwise.

I can see several T-shirt purchases in my immediate future ...

Venus de Klio

[(Anonymous)]

Your Venus bears similar proportions to Venus de Milo. Romans had a much more reasonable attitude about ideal feminine proportion than moderns, who put a premium on skinny post-adolescent girls, rather than actual adult women. I'll take your Venus any day... So how about a 'venus' shirt to match the Sweetums one? DRW/Aeronaut

Oh yeah, that's my gurrrl, with or without navel!
Aeronaut

[xanath.livejournal.com]

I love her. :) She's absolutely perfect. I especially adore the tilt to her chin, so speculative and amused and proud.

[pikku-gen.livejournal.com]

So. Hot. *fans herself*

I'll be in my bunk, ordering one. ;)

[amedia.livejournal.com]

Oh, YES!!!!

[amedia.livejournal.com]

So how about a 'venus' shirt to match the Sweetums one?

DRW, you are my hero--so glad you suggested this!!!!
