Fishelle (sorry not sorry)
A more light hearted OC this time!
I designed Fishelle as a challenge where I made a character design based off of a color palette. I thought she was really cute with her crablike hair and overall-style dress, and I must say she grew on me a bit.
Uh about her... let's see... She likes to fish!!! She gets lost in her daydreams easily, which is part of why she took up fishing as a hobby. She loves to eat fish, but she only keeps the biggest catch of the day. She releases every smaller fish she finds. She doesn't speak much at all, but she radiates with a warm and friendly energy.

Pescadoras y tejedoras // Fisherwomen and knitters
SPA: Las mujeres de la industria pesquera del arenque en Escocia trabajaban desde el amanecer hasta el atardecer destripando, salando y empaquetando pescado.
Además, en ratos libres tejían los tradicionales ganseys o guernsey, jerseys tejidos en cinco agujas sin un patrón típicos entre los pescadores de la zona.
No solo colaboraban en la economía familiar sino que también proveían de jerseys calentitos y resistentes al agua a sus maridos, hermanos, hijos y novios.
No participaban en política ni en guerras, pero su aportación a la economía y la sociedad es indudable.
ENG: Women in the herring fishing industry in Scotland worked from dawn to dusk gutting, salting and packaging fish.
Additionally, in their free time they knitted the traditional ganseys or guernsey, sweaters woven on five needles without a pattern, typical among the fishermen of the area.
Not only did they contribute to the family economy, but they also provided warm, water-resistant sweaters to their husbands, brothers, children, and boyfriends.
They did not participate in politics or wars, but their contribution to the economy and society is undoubted.

Blog Project Day 5 1/26/23
Shirato - Kamuiden: First of all, I just want to say that the skillful artwork in this manga draws the eye along the page in a way in which you can almost hear the words and see the figures move. Secondly, as an avid fishing enthusiast (lol), I resonate with the acknowledgment of the importance of a well-crafted lure. The narrative, however, introduces the idea that necessities often come at a price. The protagonist's act of murdering a sacred horse and fashioning its leg into a fishing lure might be immoral, yet it is an act borne out of desperation to provide for his family. By selling the surplus to the villagers, the protagonist reveals the grim reality of a society where the samurai, wielding wealth and power, exist as detached rulers. The story subtly justifies the protagonist's actions, portraying them as a desperate response to the oppressive rule of the samurai. Remarkably, the villagers, understanding the dire circumstances, choose empathy over judgment, nobody would betray him as that is not their culture. This dynamic highlights the morality embedded in survival situations and the communal support that arises in the face of adversity. Lastly, it touches on the importance of family.
Kinsella - Postwar Manga: The connection between "Kamuiden" and Kinsella's exploration of postwar manga lies in the variety of themes that emerged after the ban of comic strips in 1944. The resurgence of manga after the war allowed for for diverse themes such as: samurai, politics, psychology, and more. Over the next few decades, these themes underwent a transformation, evolving into more entertainment-centric narratives. Kinsella's insights displau the progression from politically charged and premodern themes to a modernized, entertainment-focused medium. The mention of the Gekiga movement gaining prominence in the 50s, with themes like samurai and ninja being well received and enjoyed, reflects the evolving nature of manga during the postwar era.
Me being an EXPERT fisherwoman. ( I did not kill a horse for this)
