The Birth of Copia
Way back in January, I hurt my right hand and I couldn’t draw - or do much in general without pain - with it. Then a friend’s recommendation got me into Ghost and their music really helped me through a time when I felt quite down and restless as I thought I wouldn’t be able to pursue any of my hobbies for quite some time (which was mostly true). But then I bought tickets to a Re-Imperatour ritual and spent the next two months working on this shirt design with my left hand instead. Needless to say, it tested my patience a lot at times, but my left-handed drawing improved quite a bit and I had a lot of fun, which was something I greatly needed at that time. My right hand is better - although not fully healed yet - and I’m seeing Ghost next week (!!!) and I shall be wearing my self-made shirt. <3

The only Disney version of Magneto I'd want to see is him in an animated feature film X Men adaptation and him having a campy gay villain song

MEDIEVAL HELMET TOURNAMENT!
The Close Helmet was worn by knights in the late medieval era. Being a fully enclosing helmet with a pivoting visor, it was popular for jousting tournaments.
The frog-mouth helm is a 14th century great helm that was very popular for jousting duels, but not used commonly on the battlefield. It offered great protection from lances, as its design makes it hard for pieces of broken lances to get into the wearers eyes. For great helms, it was also good for hearing and general awareness.

biographies and the lives they're about contain multitudes, especially with ascanio who lived through interesting times, was responsible for some of those interesting times, and also generally just. did A Lot. so much so that this is from the preface of the pellegrini biography, and it's an 800+ page biography
anyway!!!! the ending chapter of the ascanio biography did critical levels of emotional damage to me that I haven't recovered from, so now I'm drawing comics to cope
so, sometimes a chapter is like
and also
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini

Disney Animated Movie Music
Our first tournament (the reason we even created this blog) is about which animated Disney movie has the best music.
Nominate your favorite Disney animated movies based on their music. Whether it be your absolute favorite song, the genius of the composer, the contribution to music, which soundtrack is full of the most bangers, or really anything you want, as long as you include the name, it will be considered.
There is space for you to nominate up to five films if you are super committed to one movie you can always put it multiple times. there is no requirement for you to chose five movies as well. And for clarification; this is for purely animated movies. We will accept Pixar as well as Disney Animated Studios, but not something acquired by Disney (like Anastasia 1997). We also will not accept Mary Poppins, High School Musical, or (while we do call it an animated movie) the 2019 Lion King and the like here.
The votes will be tallied to create the bracket inclusions and placements. Any movie that has won or been nominated for a notable award (like Oscars) will start with one point for each nomination and two points for each win.
The size of the bracket will depend on how many submissions are received. Nominations will remain open until May 20th, unless we are overwhelmed. (in that case we will close it early after announcing the change).
