Some exploration of the character Lady Jessica from Dune ❤️ After watching the movie I wanted to create some costumes for her ✨ Bene Gesserit are so fascinating and powerful * _ * I tried to recreate that feeling.
The main references here are Ancient Greece clothing, Greek statues and Maya Hensen’s fashion for the mask in the first picture. ⭐
I’ve given it much thought, but the comics will continue to use Comic Sans. I’ve reviewed font suggestions such as EuroComic and Clementine, but they make the comics look too much like Watterson’s originals, which is something I am not trying to do.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Nothing is sexier than the DUNE books asking you to understand crazy sci-fi jargon in the first paragraph, like bene gesserit, muad'dib, mentat, arakkis, melange, and quizat haderach and then after reading all of that shit that makes no fucking sense, you meet our main character: Paul.
Actually, a lot of the words in “Dune” are derived from real world languages.
“Bene Gesserit” is derived from the Latin phrase “Quamdiu se bene gesserit”, meaning “As long as they are well-behaved”.
Mu’addib is the Arabic word for “Teacher”.
“Mentat” is derived from the Latin word “Mens”, meaning “Mind”. Appropriate for people who think so fast they are basically on the same level as a supercomputer.
“Arrakis” is derived from the name of an actual star, Al-Raqis (the name is Arabic for “The Dancer”).
“Melange” is a French word that means “Variety”, “Mixture”, or “Blend”.
Finally, “Kwisatz Haderach” is derived from the Hebrew term "K'fitzat ha-Derekh", (קְפִיצַת הַדֶּרֶךְ) literally, “The Leap of the Way,” by means of which an initiate may travel some distance instantaneously, appearing to be in two or more places at once.
