found out The Riddler was first introduced in 1948, so i thought it would be fun to draw him in fashion inspired from that era. he probably says "dapper" and "chap" a lot

I love sci-fi, I love the 1940s - how about we mash them together? The Closet Historian has been a great inspiration for many years, she perfectly melds retro and futuristic styles into wholly unique outfits, and her lookbooks were a huge influence on today's project. Definitely check out her videos, not only is she a talented seamstress but she also puts together an amazing set.

Red Velvet (Cup)cake
Okay so…. @sassy_c_art_shop sent me their prompt list for Fooduary and I was like… I have been a little bored of drawing men and pants over and over for the ASOIAF guys…maybe I could have a treat? So we’re taking a brief pause to do an extraneous food challenge bc apparently nothing beats art block like creating more work for yourself. Effectively I got the idea-worm of using historically-relevant fashion+human food character design and then I had to do it. Day 1’s prompt is red velvet cupcake and I love Red velvet cake, the cream cheese icing blew my mind as a child and it’s still my favourite cake to this day. Now the history of the red velvet cake can’t really be pinned down (get used to that lots of these can't decide on the dates of desert creation apparently) but velveteen cake is a turn of the last century invention and it is speculated that in Depression era America people were using beet juice as a sugar support/substitute which inspired the red twist to things. One source claimed that the first cookbook recipe for red velvet cake was from 1943 which is the ballpark fashion era I eventually decided on. What do you think? Does the inspiration shine through?
