I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”
This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently.
my favorite disney art style
The ancient egyptian love poem I reblogged a couple of days ago kinda got stuck in my head, so I decided to illustrate it - this was also a great opportunity to practise drawing comics :D
The love poem is from Papyrus Harris 500

Illustations and colouring are by me - enjoy! :D
Rome - 1x10
One of my favorite TV-series :3
It says: ‘It’s dayl Where are you?’
O bird, stop scolding me!
I found my brother on his bed,
My heart was overjoyed;
Each said: ‘I shall not leave you,
My hand is in your hand;
You and I shall wander
In all the places fair.’"

“I never thought of the Tramp in terms of appeal. He was myself, a comic spirit, something within me that said I must express this. I felt so free. The adventure of it. The madness. I can do any mad, crazy thing I like. And then?—did it come off, this insane idea I had, did it come off? That was the thrill.”
