Redraw of a piece from June 2019 in which I drew my friend’s Inquisitor, Fawkes Lavellan. I am so much happier with how this one turned out and super proud of myself for actually shading for once. It’s a hard like though, having to search Thedas via the Fade for your Idiot Egg Boyfriend 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you’d ever like to know more about Fawkes and my Inquisitor Solaria, who have an intertwined backstory, let me know! I love talking about them

We love art glow ups here, but not forgetting cool shoulder pieces 🙄 I love that the eyes have gotten smaller over time

We love getting into The Witcher and making a compelling Doppler who just wants to enjoy her happy life as a wife and mother 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wow. I love my queen. From getting ready for a battle to start to being caught by the enemy in the field. No matter what, she gorgeous.

[goldenmanadraws]

It’s amazing what about a year and a half can do. The second and third are from the same day, just paper vs digital.

and if you wanna support a queer artist and view all of these in their bigger, original size, you can buy them on gumroad!

💕 happy pride month! 💕

The only negative about this is that Tracer is in this post. Micheal only made her a lesbian because that’s how he sees women like this. Not every woman who looks like this is a lesbian.

TRACER IS NOT POSITIVE LESBIAN REPRESENTATION.

[profoundlyluckyfox]

hey op I fixed your post

[domirine]

you didn’t fix shit.

this also goes for any other clown who sends me messages like “X shouldn’t be here”:

not every queer character in popular media - and so this includes my list - is 100% positive, accurate, good representation, this doesn’t happen. if you’d looked a lil harder you might have noticed that almost every page contains a character that was done a disservice when having their queer story told, or whose authors’ intentions were straight up ill-placed (tracer’s writer isn’t the only one). the writers often make mistakes, some less forgivable than the others, that’s important to know and important to learn from. it’s also unfortunately often what queer characters in popular media have in common. but it doesn’t devalue their characters’ impact and how important it is for these characters to be included, be it to be celebrated or be an example of how we could do better.

tracer is an openly gay woman and a flagship character for a game whose audience is neither primarily female or queer, and i decided to celebrate that. but i guess you don’t give a fuck about what that means, or simply how tracer identity resonated with real, actual people, regardless of her writer’s intent. you’re just here to (poorly) edit my work that’s meant to uplift and celebrate what we got, during the moth of pride. but wow yeah you really showed michael.

what you did was rude and inconsiderate and there’s time and place to fight the battles you’re trying to fight. this ain’t fuckin it.

[goldenmanadraws]

This isn’t quite as dramatic of a then and now, and I don’t think I view one to be particularly better, but they are ten months apart and I like to see how my style has changed in what feels like such a short amount of time

[goldenmanadraws]

Oooh Skye how you’ve changed. My Kingdom Hearts oc who has certainly gotten the rework her butt needed

[goldenmanadraws]

Another then and now of a very old oc of mkne, Astrid. I stull hate drawing books and messed up on her arms, but wow am I proud of that hair and face.

[goldenmanadraws]

Then and now drawing of my dear Limni. Girl’s certainly looking a little curvier and smoother, that’s for sure. I always forget how much I love her until I draw her again

[goldenmanadraws]

Zacharius Trevelyan is a good, smart noodle. He doesn’t really understand anyone, especially his boyfriend, but it’s fine

[goldenmanadraws]

Iselle Rainier is a pretty girl I never draw. Daughter of Solas and Fawkes Rainier (Good Dad Blackwall basically adopted the Lavellan) learning her dad is an Elven God infamous for the near extinction of his people 🤷🏼‍♀️
