An illustration for @elwon 's elder god!Jason/sacrifice!Dick AU. This was one of the (if not the) first JayDick arts I did, and it still reminds me of the excitement of discovering a new community. Also elder god Jason. If elwon's name wasn't enough for everyone to open the link, that should do it.

[This one is part of my mission to post all the art I forgot to post in the past. Sorry to all the people getting random pings years late. Wish me luck in not double-posting.

I'm actually nearly sure I already posted this but I can't find it, so.]

An illustration for Ready for Rescue by the fabulous @buckybarnesdeservestobehappy, as part of the Just Like Budapest Auction in 2023. Seriously, guys, read this fic. Believe me.

This art still makes me so happy.

This was...uh, I think practice? I honestly can't remember. Brain empty, only JayDick.

.

.

.

there's an animatic growing in my head relating to the fic and it's in your style so... there's that :)

Ohh hi!! Indeed I'm that!! This blog is a mess of fandoms, but svsss/Cumplane is here somewhere.

I'm always so surprised when someone recognizes me, your ask really made my day!! I keep randomly smiling about it:D

I'm so glad you like them, that was such a big project with such an amazing fic, it really was an adventure! I'm still so entertained by memories of my perpetually late ass drawing the little gays yelling profanities in random places, including at bars and parties and public transportation.

Please tell me about your animatic if you'd like, I'd adore to hear about / see it 👀👀

(gods I need to go through my art and post the things I forgot about, like the entire series of the stained window cookies. (I'm so in love with that description, best thing ever.))

Emerge into this bloody world wreathed in a crown of wilted flowers.

I blame @meaninglessblah-writes for the idea.

Happy death day, my love.

WE DID IT

ÁRAD A TISZA ❤️🤍💚

Not fannish, but so you know I'm alive and working. We had the closing performance of the theater last week, which was beautiful, and which I'll be grieving for months to come.

The pieces (big for me! 30x40cm) were a present to the founding trio, signed by all the actors and musicians. I was running around with the half-done paintings stuffed in my totebag for weeks, sneaking into the dressing room and repainting the edges 5 times.

Art ask meme, 3 and 29?

P. s. : You're the best.

3. What ideas come from when you were little

Hm, not sure it's an idea, more like a theme? And I'd like to say wings, because I've been fascinated by fairies and dragons and angels from kindergarten.

But also artistically, in reality? Body horror and blood. I have terrible, terrible quality drawings from floaty-skirt-wearing, fairy-loving, miss-butterfly lower elementary me where people are gushing blood all over the page. I don't do graphic body horror, but it frequently still pops up one way or another.

29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically

Hmm, that's tricky. Maybe AtLA? I don't know why, it's perfectly good inspiration, I adore it, but I never felt compelled to draw for it.

P.s.: love you!!

Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game

Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.

2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)

3. What ideas come from when you were little

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

9. What are your file name conventions

12. Easiest part of body to draw

13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing

14. Any favorite motifs

15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)

16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing

17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what

18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

The monsters inside us

A double feature Beauty and the Beast AU as per @theblobmaster 's prompt (who I think I can't tag because tumblr is being itself, but linked).

This was planned for Valentine's but life didn't want it. Some written details under the cut!

—————

There are two of them because I couldn't decide who'd be who. So now you can choose!

Each of them is made up of the things that they believe make them a monster.

Dick is covered in blood, dripping, smearing on everything he touches. (A friend said he looks like a shinigami and I find that perfect.) Broken wings, no longer able to fly (visual stolen from my SPN era). A smiling mask (stolen from my TGCF era). He's a Tall Boi. Jason is just happy to have a library.

Jason is too big, takes too much space, too wide, too tall. He's pale like death, but covered in flash burn marks and scars – the latter leaking lazarus-green no matter what he does. He has shadow tentacles. Dick just wants to smooch him and literally climbs him like a tree at every given opportunity.

I was dying of weather induced headaches last week, and I'll have to start on some deadlined paintings next week, so I'm extra happy I could do these! And as usual, they are a bit under 13x8 cm.

Now I kind of want to go back to this AU but I have work to doooo. Pray for my sanity.

A fun commission for @faalthien

[faalthien]

Aaaa, look!! I've been yelling about this since moment one and I can't wait to hold it in my hands!

(Pssst. Artist has amazing stuff, including in prints and as commissions. Check them out if you for some reason hadn't before!!)

Cooking. Someone give him a rubber duck.
