#statuehumans

Characters above: HMS trio, Mercutio, Justice, Liberty, Freedom

Heya! Name's Gina / GG, I mostly use this blog to post my art and some other mischievous endeavors. Sometimes (a lot of the times) I also reblog posts for varying rhymes and reasons.

Here is my Linktree in case you want to follow me somewhere else!

Commissions open!

My ASKS are open! For the characters above and for any other characters I've posted on here, except for the ones in my Archives (SAVE FOR THE ROMEO AND JULIET SERIES THEY CAN BE INCLUDED). And also for me, the creator! It has been my dream to run an askblog since forever, so it would be nice for me to get some more asks :)

I don't post or reblog fanart of everything, so not all of the fandoms I'm in would be on here. But so far I've posted / reblogged about:

Miscellaneous Chonny Jash content

HMS posting (inspired by CCCC – see "Chonny Jash content")

Statuehumans (anthropomorphic headcanons of a couple statues of my liking)

Project Hail Mary / Iron Lung

Romeo and Juliet (not too big but thriving fandom I think)

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

Artfight

Minecraft

Poolrooms / Backrooms

Vocaloid

Mouthwashing

Slay the Princess

EPIC the Musical and other similar musicals, very vaguely

Fandoms I know next to nothing about (Deltarune, The Magnus Archives, Transformers)

Tumblr relics

Slice of thoughts & slice of life

Other people's art

Personal art archive

As for tags, I don't keep them super organized, but...

Usually I tag my art with #art, #my art, and #artists on tumblr, as well as a few others as I see fit

Asks are tagged with #gg's asks

For HMS, I tag #hms (#<3 ∑| <o>) or #hmsw, usually with the characters' individual tags and/or symbols

#romeo and juliet and etc. for Romeo and Juliet content

I made a new tag for the statues! It's called #statuehumans! Can't believe the people before me haven't used that name yet

Art archive is tagged with #old art or #archive

Reblogs are sometimes tagged with #prev tags -> or #op tags -> followed by a couple tags used by the creator or poster before me

I use other misc tags as I see fit, whether it be personal thoughts or actual organizational chain tags (for example, recent reblogged comic series #Summer Seance)

Here are some of the other main posts I've made:

HMS intro post, The Mind Electric cover

Statuehumans intro post

Romeo and Juliet archive, La Mort de Mercutio

"Who's Chonny Jash?"

Aight, that's about it. Welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay!!

Here are some close-ups of the characters in the picture up top under the cut :)

Yippee!!

They're humanized versions of a few famous US statues! Not states, sorry. I feel like I would need to do a lot more research for that to work well. :) Currently the cast includes the Statue of Liberty, the Statue of Freedom, Lady Justice (she's the only one whose design isn't US specific per se), and the NYC Bull (whom I have not finished the full drawing yet).

I have a few ideas for them that could be different AUs, but the main one is that they each have a human-adjacent representation that is formed out of the essence they were given when they were made, similar to a soul manifest into a body. Except for the Bull, he gets the minotaur special. But I gave him a more human-looking design, and he can shapeshift between being more human and being more bull-like :D

And they're immortal! They don't die unless their representative statues get destroyed, which is not really going to happen anytime soon. But if their statue-selves get damaged, they suffer the same damage to their person through different real-life means (such as getting into a car accident and breaking an arm).

Oh, and their consciousnesses can teleport between their persons and their statue-selves... at the cost of knocking them out. So they can't just do this whenever, they can only do this when they fall asleep or when someone knocks them out. In a way, it's more of an involuntary thing than it is a fun little ability.

I can talk more about their individual persons but that's a story for another time :] In the meantime have some more art!

I just recently discovered your work on my Tumblr feed, and it’s awesome! Because I also really love the Statue of Liberty and ship her with Lady Justice too👀👀 (except I named them Liberty and Justine, and Liberty is bisexual)

I was wondering, do you accept trades?

P.S. By the way, I have my own fan universe too—it involves personifying/humanizing practically every landmark in the world, including statues :3

Also, here’s my Liberty—I love her so, so much

Bold of you to assume that I haven't already checked out your entire blog months before this day >:)

Are you the one who wrote the Liberty x Empire State Building ship fic I came across on AO3... is Liberty cheating on her girlfriend...

This time I have a different question—how and when did you realize you had this obsession with statues? How did you even come up with this idea?

Hello! Thank you for liking my posts, every time I see an activity it's almost always you XD

I came up with the ideas for them last year, when I visited the US East Coast. I wasn't super thrilled to be in New York City despite it being one of the tourism places, so I tried to hype myself up before I went sightseeing, especially for the Statue of Liberty. And what do you know, I read a few signs about her on the island and picked up a new hyperfixation as a souvenir :P

The other statues came later, when I thought about expanding my cast. I decided on adding the Statue of Freedom first, since I did also see her back in D.C. on the same trip, and then added Lady Justice and finally the NYC Bull.

I think the idea of developing them into full characters came from my tendency to anthropomorphize things? I've always done it in the past as fun little humanoid designs (e.g. Google's logo, the COVID virus, Mars rovers), but they're the first ones I've actually thought about proper characterization for.

Did I ever bring up what their "human" names are? I don't think I did. Oh well, you get to know now XD

Liberty -> Lucille Freedom -> Freya Justice -> Cecelia

Lucille's the only one with a last name for now (Donnadieu). A friend helped me name her! But mostly I try to find a name with the same first letter as their symbolic name, as well as a fitting meaning.

For example! Lucille is a name of French origin and means "light". Freya means "noble lady" and is also the name of a goddess. Cecelia is the only one without the same starting letter (if you have an alternative with the same letter please let me know), but it means "blind".

I probably should've given this more thought tbh... 6 years is still pretty recent by even my own standards...

Yes they absolutely do! And they do still have to get treated for it, it's just that they can't die from diseases because they can't die in general.

Also, hi, I’ve *definitely* never met you before.

Hello awesome and amazing stranger whom I have totally never seen before in my life <3
