NO MORE HUBCAP BOOBS! I’m good with this!
Not a fan of the boots, but I’ll put up with them if it means we’ve seen the last of the metal boobsocks.

the Warrior Princess, the Destroyer of Nations, the Conqueror, the Lion of Amphipolis- she goes by many names and has many, many skills.
just realized none of my Xena drawings are generic enough to put on my school binder. also I needed to draw this as a reference- I always forget something each time I draw her
bonus- she’s transparent! reblog for a little Xena on your blog
Tisha, one of the characters from Far Cry 3 co-op mode.
According to the game’s wiki, she was once a United States Marine. However after killing a man who attempted to rape a girl she went on the run. She is on the boat for this reason, running from justice and possibly drawn to the Rook Islands for their remote and lawless nature.
As if that wasn’t enough, twin-bulged breastplates ignore the anatomical makeup of the female breast itself. To make a long story short, the breast largely consists of fat and modified sweat glands (for the production of milk, that is), and hence it’s not nearly as solid as a comparable mass of muscle. So all but the largest breasts can be bound quite flat against the woman’s chest without occasioning too much discomfort. In turn, this means a fighting woman probably isn’t going to need a breastplate with a chest profile larger than one worn by a fighting man of a similar height and general body shape, and therefore it’s quite likely that the woman would simply fit into the man’s breastplate with the aid of some padding to make up the slack in the waist and shoulders.

Check the link out, thought it would be interesting to people. :) |
Sometimes women warriors have lives outside of slaying beasts and decimating armies! Not often, though.
This is one of two pieces I have in the WOMEN WARRIORS ZINE that I have been putting together along with my two mighty collaborators Abby Boeh and Julia Scott! This FANTASTIC BEAST OF A ZINE will be debuting at MoCCA and include the artwork of over 25 truly excellent illustrators, so please check it out come April 6th & 7th in NYC!
Making a big zine like this has been a truly amazing experience. I’m blown away by the amount of interest in the project, but above all, I’m truly humbled by the variety and sheer talent of everyone who’s contributed.
I’ve always loved this concept, switching the “traditional” gender roles of a warrior and their lover. This is beautiful.
