OK. Let’s do this mf.

I have too many fandoms, and I’ll try to draw it even if I don’t watch/read/listen to it, but here’s a list of my favorites:

Musicals: Hadestown, Hamilton, Six The Musical, Beetlejuice, Wicked

Books (and their inspired Movies/TV shows): Harry Potter, PJO/HoO, American Gods, Good Omens, Dirk Gently

TV shows: The OA, Doctor Who, Twin Peaks, Dark, Community, B99

[get me a character of each jk]

Isn't it awful when you have 2 blogs and reblog something on the wrong one?

why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead

I don't know how old is this post, but I saw in on ig and it inspired me to draw, so I had to Google it to repost.

God, I love Georgie.

I can see so much room for improvement, but I still love it so much and it is my favorite art so far (maybe because of how much I love Boleyn, so I took more time).

I think I could have spend more time on the details of her clothes, but I am really surprised that I actually like this drawing.

[boleyns-talking-head]

OK, so I'm not an ARTIST(tm), but I like to draw and I've been practicing during the quarantine, and today I felt an urge to draw.

So I just put my pencil to the paper and sketched a lot of things. That first one there was the first one I liked and didn't ruin it trying to color it.

It started as a couple of circles, became some brawly jock dude and it finished as a fae ~person (?)

So I decided to make one for each element, and let the first one be for Earth.

I started sketching the second and realized there wasn't enough space for the head, so I changed the position of it. It matched the idea I had for Air, as someone flexible and dashing through streets.

For Fire, I wanted to subvert it and draw a small entity (it also made me thing they would get very angry and feisty when someone undermine them for their size). BTW, their wings are made of fire.

Last one was Water, and I wanted something fluid and started with the skirt/dress thingy. For unknown reasons, I ended up drawing them from behind.

I know it's not amazing art, but I am really happy with the overall result and wanted to share it somewhere. And I think we need more average art on the internet.

P.S.: I don't know if it's because I spent the morning watching illustrators redesigning Marvel's Snowflake and Safespace on YouTube, but all four characters are non-binary.
