Gamers Without Joysticks

Description

"Nearly half the population in the world is female; it follows suit that a growing number of women are investing their time in gaming, both as professionals and as enthusiasts. Gamers Without Joysticks is a diverse community of women gaming enthusiasts and professionals. While created as a safe haven for venting, discussing, and networking, Gamers Without Joysticks now hosts panels at conventions discussing what it’s like to be a woman who enjoys videogames, from (what should be) the simple act of playing to joining the industry as a professional."

Created as a tee design/banner logo etc. for Gamers Without Joysticks.  It actually has 4 different skin tones to choose from (but this is my favourite tone).
I wanted to make sure that it represented more than just videogames, since, while videogames are their main focus, gaming is so much more than that (and the community has wide range of tabletop/card/roleplaying games).

So represented in it:
Three major controllers, 1 handheld system (and stylus)
Die, pencil, pen, character sheet for roleplaying/D&D type games
Pawn, checkers, and tiles (loosely based around Settlers of Catan tiles) for tabletops/board games (Die could go here too)
Cards! (Based on the Ancient Mew Pokemon card, a Magic card, and a Munchkin card)


Available on my Red Bubble store: www.redbubble.com/people/labra…

This is really awesome.  I love that she has a darker skin tone and a curvier body type.  It represents the diversity of women who are into games that we don't always see depicted.
