Women's Wednesdays is an original art project by Ronnie which features internationally capped women's rugby players (chosen from his followers' suggestions each week).

Women's Wednesdays is about doing something in my power to help raise the profile of women in sports, particularly rugby. Partly influenced by Pop Surrealism, I usually tie something into the narrative that has been inspired by video games.
The artwork was made by using a combination of long exposure (light painting) photography and digital art techniques. This is the eleventh piece from the project and features Scottish rugby player - Winger - Rhona Lloyd.

Rhona has spoken about body image before and how, in her youth, she avoided doing certain exercises for rugby that would give her muscles. Thankfully she has become comfortable in her strength and muscles.
For this week, I picked a game in which the main protagonist is not only a woman, but hasn't been unnecessarily sexualised. In fact, the game is in first-person. It is called Portal. I took my inspiration from the colour coded portals and the portal gun. Though my gun was made entirely from light.
