A Princess of Mars, by Frank Frazetta

Dejah Thoris concepts (2023) These are costume concepts for the titular character of A Princess of Mars, the first book in the Barsoom series written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It’s always a challenge to make things that feel familiar but are trying to not retread what previous brilliant illustrators have done. I wanted to avoid the stereotypical objectified damsel in distress, but also not go too far into the mary-sue trope. #art #illustration #characterdesign #scifi #dejahthoris #barsoom #edgarriceburroughs #johncarterofmars #aprincessofmars #scad #scadillustration #scadillusociety https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxkUAfP3cI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Welcome everyone! The Barsoom Podcast - Episode 1 - Honouring & Evolving Originality: A Chat With Vance Kovacs (@vancekovacs), a concept artist who worked on the 2012 film) releases in early 2020 (pending the artist’s ability to be on the show of course, otherwise we’ll just discuss his art and the incredible concept art from the film in general). If you’re like me, you know in your heart that the Barsoom saga does indeed have a bright future ahead (it is, after all, the first-ever sci-fi universe), and although that light may be far off for the time being, there’s no better time than now to begin and enjoy an education/elucidation-filled journey along the way, deepening our knowledge and appreciation of these stories and this world so that when future adaptations *do* come about, we’ll be all the more appreciative of them, and they’ll have an immeasurably more powerful effect :) Stay tuned for regular posts on facts, art, chats with kindred folks/cast/crew (@frazettagirls, @lynncollins, @samanthamorton, @taylorkitsch and more, pending availability naturally), news and much more! • #Barsoom #APrincessOfMars #DejahThoris #EdgarRiceBurroughs #JohnCarter #JohnCarterOfMars #JCM #BarsoomSaga #Woola #Thark #Jeddak #Banth #AndrewStanton #SciFi #ScienceFiction #FrankFrazetta #Steampunk #ClassicLiterature #FirstEver #StarWars #Valerian #Dune #ERB #Tarzan #Literature #FictionalUniverse #Mars #APriestessOfMars #Priestess https://www.instagram.com/p/B2bBOEihq-m/?igshid=14gswfk3jxfhk
