Testing If I Still Know How To Paint

It would be an absolute lie if i said i knew what i was doing

Across the spiderverse.

How do you think arty is when he’s sick? /nf

Depends

If hes got sth stupid likea cold, hell be an absolute drama queen about it

But when sick of sth like overworking, he'll very much argue that hes fine and pretend to be so

I imagine him the type to get diagnosed with sth incurable or serious and just go, meh, thats not going to stop me from doing this very pressuring project ive got in my head oh no

Im always hesitant to post original art but here we are

Aye i just remembered that this existed and i never posted it so

here really late, blurry oc appreciation

Jacky Fowl Rider. She the two idiots' kid.

Alma! Welcome back! You have been missed

Thank you so much ! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Happy pride month!

Stop whitewashing Holly Short

I feel like I have to have this talk somewhere outside my head.

I, a 14 year old teenager of color, have always loved Holly Short.

She was described as powerful, with features like a hooked nose, and a dark skin, that made her beautiful. Things that I have always been insecure about, teased for, insulted for, were what made her beautiful.

The powerful woman, who fought sexism and always did the right thing, IMMEDIATELY became my comfort character.

I started to feel better about myself. Draw portraits with my favourite features in my self exaggerated in them. I loved my own features, because she had them.

And then, after reading the whole series and loving it, came the thirst for content. Content in wich, Holly Short, was always whitwashed.

So many fanart, official comics, covers, the goddamn movie! In all of them, Holly wasn't how i imagined her to be. The fact punches me every time. Her skin, her features, are FLAWS that people just prefer to erase from her character.

I still remember how sad i got when i first was raving to a friend about Holly and she said 2 my face how she thought she would be prettier if she were white.

Whitewashing Holly is basically saying the same thing.

Many may go, "whatever, who gives a shit about her color".

But things like this are what make teenagers, kids, like me back at the time, insecure and hating themselves because of simply simply being born the way they are born.

A while ago in the shower i was thinking of tlg and how artemis dyed when the sun was rising. The sunrise is indeed one of the most glorious times of the day but im sure it never felt the same for holly after that day.

I wanted to draw a hurtful tlg scene but with the same lighting scenario, same bright and saturated color pallete and match it up with this drawing, i did attempt doing so but it did not quite succeed so i decided to stick with this one and maybe try drawing the second scene some time later

I couldn't decide between these two
