@kat-lives yes!!! He makes this face when he sees it:

at one point bucky stops helping steve though. he’ll say he ran out of knives after some butt-kicking action. or he’ll plainly say he doesn’t have any. either way, it’s a total lie, he definitely has at least two more somewhere on him. 

Steve must’ve broken so many god damn nails over the years trying to jam his fingers underneath. That boy needs a manicure.

Obviously a very emotionally intense scene (I cried like a fucking baby. What’s new.)

But in addition to the relief and joy and concern that both of them are obviously feeling…

JUST LOOK AT THEIR FUCKING FACES I AM LAUGHING SO HARD

Sam’s just like:

ROUND SEVEN (OCTOBER 2018)

We are back on schedule (almost!), so welcome to round seven!  We can’t wait to see what you guys come up with.

There is no time limit on this challenge, if you’re still finishing pieces from a previous month. Just remember to tag us when you do post it.

We also keep a list of the tags new and old for this challenge so you can pick previous tags and create pieces for those if you want to. You can view them right here.

No need to sign up again. Once you’re on the artist’s page, you’re in. It’s more of a case of participate if you want to, if you can’t this month, you don’t have to, we’ll see you next month, etc.

Overall we just want this to be a nice, chilled challenge which artists can use to not only practice, but also to keep themselves drawing regularly each month. It’s stress-free because we don’t have any time limits.

Remember, you can produce as many pieces as you like featuring whichever characters you please (even for the same tag), and just a quick reminder, no NSFW or OC’s please.

You have the whole month to create your piece/s, and feel free to post them whenever you’re done. Be sure to tag us in the post.

@julesthequirky

Angel-zapping into a moving vehicle is a fancy move, sure, but sometimes I wonder

here’s a statue of Augustus

and here’s a reproduction of the statue with the colors restored 

Whenever you look at a Roman statue with a bare marble face, you’re looking at the face of imperialist historical revisionism.

1) the reason the reconstructions here look like “the leftover templates of gaudy pieces of theme park shit” is because they’re reconstructions. this is not actually what these statues looked like, and in my opinion they do roman art a massive disservice. the reason they look so “gaudy” (which is actually the exact same colonial attitude that led directly to the literal whitewashing of graeco-roman art, nice, very nice) is because the colours have been applied flat, with no shading or blending to give the impression of shadow. looking at contemporary roman portraiture, it’s clear that they did actually have quite a sophisticated grasp of shading and colouring, and to imagine that they would just suddenly forget how to do the dark bits when they were painting on stone is ludicrous. for context, this is a portrait of paquius proculo, a fresco from pompeii, dating from around 20-30AD, ten years earlier than that bust of caligula:

(also of interest in this regard are the fayum mummy portraits, dating from the second century AD; again, although they are of varying quality, the best of them demonstrate a clear understanding of shading. for example: 

and, to be honest: do you really think a civilisation that produced this

just, what, didn’t get paint? these reconstructions are laughable, not because they’re colourful but because they’re presenting an incredibly sophisticated culture as unable to understand simple artistic concepts; something that i think itself contributes to the idea of colourfully painted statues being ‘silly’ and ‘gaudy’, which again is an incredibly colonially-influenced idea. 

The hotbed of Christian zealotry was Egypt. Throughout its time as a Roman, and then ‘Byzantine’ province during its early Christian history, the province proved practically unmanageable due to its Christian theological riots, with the majority of the population not following Constantinople’s doctrine and theological orders.

This Roman bust of Germanicus at the British Museum was defaced - nose smashed off - during a riot that would have taken place in late antiquity in Egypt, so, 400-500AD [also, note the cross etched into forehead]

Probably the most known example of this is the destruction of the Alexandrian Serapeum, a vast temple complex in Alexandria, Christian mobs tore the temple apart, destroying and looting, tearing it down brick by brick.

Another example, outside of Egypt, is the Nika Revolts in Constantinople. On its creation as a co-capital of the Roman Empire, an unfathomable amount of art and sculpture was brought to adorn the New Rome, and during the revolt, for the most part this cream of the classical crop was destroyed, again, by theological mobs.

After Egypt’s conquest during the Arab-Islamic conquests, this practice would have continued. In fact, theologically, many of Egypt’s Christian sects were more in line with Islamic theology than what became mainstream Christianity in both ‘Orthodox’ and ‘Catholic’ doctrine.
