Nutty Bites 107: Strong Female CharactersNutty Bites 107: Strong Female Characters

It seems like Strong Female Characters are on the rise again. Nuchtchas and Laura Nicole are joined by Tek and Jason to talk about it. First of all, why are we seeing a resurgence of the strong woman? Which characters are the most relevant to our experiences? Thanks to the past popularity of strong female representation, society has changed, as a result those characters of the past don’t hold up to today’s standards. We also talk tropes too, especially what we like seeing in female characters, and what don’t we like seeing in female characters? Who are some of your favorite female characters?

Nutty Bites 106: Nostalgia Exploited

Nutty Bites 105: Women in the Business recorded at Balticon 51

Nutty Bites 105: Women in the Business recorded at Balticon 51Women in the Business is a panel that was held at Balticon 51. The panelists are Nuchtchas, Lisa-Anne Samuels, Veronica Giguere, Kathy MacMillan, and moderated by John Walker. There are few times when I had to edit out personal information and company names, and there is another moment where we are interrupted and that is also edited out. This is one of those behind the scenes style of panels, not about something geek related per say, but many of the speakers are speaking about publishing, media, and broadcasting experience, so it informs the content we watch.

Daily Creativity: Rory as a Union Soldier – Union Dragon

Daily Creativity: Rory as a Union Soldier - Union DragonDaily Creativity: Rory as a Union Soldier – Union Dragon

Tek and I visited Gettysburg before going down to Balticon. I highly recommend this trip, it has changed so much since the last time I really explored there, twenty years ago. The roads are paved, there is this auto tour you can buy (in CD form now but there is an app in Beta) and they built some overlooks. All while preserving the integrity of the historical site.

We learned a lot we didn’t know. Even having studied the Civil War I missed a lot of things that I learned on this visit. I was inspired to paint Rory as a union soldier. Artillery of course. I’m thinking the war might have been won faster with Dragons on the Union side, but it would have been a very different war.

I started painting this at Balticon, doing some work on the few moments I wasn’t on a panel or getting my 5-2-1. I finished it when I got home. So yes this does break the rules of Daily Creativity as it took more than one day to finish, but in the time total it wasn’t more than I would spend in a day, I think. I am pleased with how it came out and had Tek check my work with the depiction of the enfield riffle Rory is holding. I painted some dirt on his uniform and fur, and tried to make it look dirty. Faded blues too. I’m really happy with how this piece came out. I may be the only person who wanted to see Rory as a soldier, but it marks this trip for me.
