The art tumblr of Ato/Aelita
my-mochi: toffmikin: Regarding those who like to take art from Pixiv and repost them to Tumblr: The Pixiv site very clearly states in English to do not do that. And you know a simple Google Translate would get enough of the message across if you wanted to ask the artist on Pixiv?  Even if it’s not completely accurate, they can understand it well enough.  I’m pretty sure 95% of people who repost art do not ask.  Please ask.  Then repost if it is okay. Just because you source does not automatically make it okay to repost an artwork. hhhhhhhh oh geezI love seeing pixiv art on tumblr - it’s like my daily source of beautiful pictures - but I suppose we should all follow the rules. D: Remember this please. For those who want to ask for permission, here’s a rough: こんにちは！私は「artist name」さんの絵をタームブラへリープリントするのほうがいいですか。すみませんとありがとうございます。 Won’t be reblogging Pixiv reprints from now on, unless it has been stated that you have gained their permission. I’m also going to stop using illustrations by pixiv artists without their permission from now on as well. DeviantART is a great place for artists, too, and if you ask, many will answer within 24 hours or less. (That happened with Jenneka for my “Sarishinohara” cover.) It’s a great way to help out artists in our overseas community, too, so please don’t neglect to ask them!

Okay so I know this is kinda taboo but anyways.

Frida Kahlo: Not too easy on the eyes. I mean she’s got the lady-mo and the monobrow thing going on. She didn’t know where to put her blush or what shade lipstick would obviously suit her skin tone. Really, she’s a bit of a wreck. So this got me to thinking. What would have happened if her girlfriends had done the right thing and taken her to a beautician, (which clearly needed to happen)? I did a subtle re-paint over the top of her original self-portrait to “conceptualize” what it would have looked like if she had been whisked off to Beauty Works or the likes….I didn’t want to alter the integrity of the original painting too much. What do you reckon?

I hate whining about my personal opinions on the blog I want to keep professional and “art-only.” I hate potentially starting a huge argument or having to waste time defending myself. The thing I hate most is this shit.

Frida Kahlo looked in the mirror and painted herself as she truly was. All her lumps, all her bumps and everything people thought made her look hideous because that is who she was. No amount of makeup, preening or any sort of bullshit involving her friends taking her to a salon could change who she is; she should whole heartedly be accepted for who she is/was. She wanted to challenge what we thought was beautiful because who was to tell her that her unibrow wasn’t? Or that naturally growing facial hair wasn’t? She was born with it just like she was born with two eyes, lips and a nose.

This is exactly what makes me draw the way I do. Ugly people, fat people, cellulite, bad haircuts, small tits, small dicks, whatever. I’ll draw it because the majority of people think this is acceptable, that this is desirable and that people should only be X, Y or Z and nothing else. This is what a living human being looks like, lumps and all, and that is what I want to draw - not something intended to be jacked off to.

this This THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!!

Part of what makes Frida Kahlo’s work so fascinating is that she never represents herself in her art as an ideal, totally desirable beauty. She wasn’t painting to reassure you that she looked good, she was painting to make a statement. 

The cleaned-up version of this lacks all of the charm and powerful charisma of the original peace because it doesn’t offer any statement whatsoever; It is not personal, it is a streamlined design meant to please. While this in itself is not wrong, it is not representative of Frida Kahlo at all. What it represents is the notion that women need to be “cleaned up.”

What breaks my heart about all of this is what the artist said about his conceptualization: “I did a subtle re-paint over the top of her original self-portrait to “conceptualize” what it would have looked like if she had been whisked off to Beauty Works or the likes….I didn’t want to alter the integrity of the original painting too much.”

I’m sorry, but by altering the main subject of the piece and giving her an impersonal makeover, you have not only altered the integrity of the piece, but removed it entirely.

Thank you Zoe.  And as for the OP, change your attitude, and eat some humble pie. 

Reblogging once more for amazing and concise commentary.

I’m sorry, but what would even make you WANT to paint over someone else’s self-portrait? Not only is it a heinous crime in the world of Fine Art, but it’s also a way of saying “You’re not allowed to look like this. You’re not allowed to portray yourself like this.” = n=##
