(whos the egyptian chick?)Anybody who knows who is the original artist of this legendary image? I remember that it was posted on /co/ back on 2020

Oh ho boy, if you got this from those kinds of sites, you will never find the original artist. Unless they use the same distinct drawing program brushes like that one guy who kept making XJ9 thirstpics.
Every cartoon has a lesbian couple these days, it’s not even a big deal anymore.
We talked about this in the SU thread when Becky Sugar started this crap. Basically she revealed she was warned by the execs that if she does the gay wedding, everyone will want a gay wedding, thus watering down the impact of it all and making gays/gay weddings boring. And now here we are, only dying journo sites and "identity=personality" types give a shit anymore.I don’t care if they’re in it or not, I care when the show/fanatics talk about how “revolutionary” and “brave” and groundbreaking “ it is that they pushed to have a lesbian couple when it’s the 100th time they’ve said it about the 100th show.
I'm with you on the "I don't give a shit" boat but when the ones making it make you give a shit, it brings down the vibe.
How recent are we talking here? I can only think of four examples.For me I been trying to think what cartoon female character have I seen in recent years who wasnt lesbian or bisexual and was just plain straight?
- A couple of the girls (minus the rock one) from the Loud House I think.
- Someone mentioned Candace, add Isabella.
- Mabel was too straight to function.
- Rosemary from High Garbage Spice. The show was implying Sage and her were gonna be a thing but it was the same with Snapdragon's troonery: Just implied it, never supplied it.
Someone pointed this out on Twitter. In the reboot, they rounded out the edges on Joan's head for some reason.

Considering the 2002 original used the angular "retro flat" style, it feels a little off-putting.
I'm assuming it's a copyright thing to "revamp" the style enough to make more marketing products and to lengthen how long the license can stay with the company (another reason why capeshit will never die by the way).Same thing happened to The Professor in the Powerpuff 2016 reboot.

Slight artsperg: It is way quicker to make straight lines with sharp, boxy corners than rounded corners. Unless you can combine the two like MLaaTR and anything by Craig McCracken, you just get a flat cutesy look that makes Sanrio wanna call you a basic bitch.
Oh my God Johnny Bravo was also a perfect combo of curvy and sharp lines! Thanks for the hot reminder!
Jhonen Vasquez might be among the last holdouts of goth/emo culture. He should count, right?Oh God him and Butch Hartman are the few non sheep cartoon creators in the animation world. Got any others?
