Trans Princess Nausicaa

Title: Trans Princess Nausicaa
Artist: [personal profile] minoanmiss
Rating: G
Fandom: Greek Mythology [The Odyssey]
Characters/Pairings: Princess Nausicaa from the Odyssey.
Content Notes: This was inspired by a girl I met on Tumblr, TransGirlNausicaa, and got stalled last fall due to events in my life. So now I have finished her (although too late to tell my Tumblr friend, alas).

How nice of you! She looks lovely. Can I ask what references you used for the clothing/etc?

*beams* Thank you! I have a whole folder of Minoan and Minoan-inspired images, so I rummage through that to refresh my memory when I was drawing her. One thing I did was to raise her waistline relative to most of the outfits I've seen, so that her bodice doesn't follow her entire torso but instead her skirt flares out.

I wonder if you could message your Tumblr friend via her other platforms? She has a couple of blogs, and an Instagram account.

I thought about it, but it seemed a little intrusive. If she's done with Tumblr, or taking a break... I'll think about it, though. :)

I looked at her Tumblr, and I think she's done...take a look, see what you think.

And I think she'd appreciate seeing your beautiful artwork :)

I have to admit, I love drawing complicated Minoan hairstyles with strings of beads and stuff.

Congrats on finishing!

Her pose is amazing - the graceful twist of her body, the set of her arms. Good job!

Thank you so much! I feel better about her pose now -- I was worried it was too coy. I'm delighted that you like it and wrapping my soul up in your eloquence. :D
