Happy Pride Month

Doctor's orders!

Oh Captain, my Captain.

You know each time I watch this clip I think to myself like wow it really does look like it’s from some vintage gay porno for a second

[grvning]

Always reblog Spock's ''Oh no, he's hot'' scene.

(He's right, of course. And perhaps more than a little bit... Titillated.)

[grvning]

The final drawing, as scanned — with an added frame design. My personal twist on TOS!Spock and his singular beauty.

[grvning]

Alternative scene Spock, if you will. WIP.

No visual reference used. Green ball pen on orange tinted printer paper.

[grvning]

Maybe there's some hope for me yet. WIP.

Do not repost, and whatnot.

[grvning]

Quick 'Dagger of the Mind' doodle. Black ink gel pen on printing paper, bits of white marker here and there (let's be honest, these are all mistakes).

And now, for something a little different. Feat. Mercury (my cat).

They are finally here, after many postal tribulations.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Trans day of every tabloid shuts the fuck up about us forever. Trans day of let us have our healthcare and leave us the fuck alone. Trans day of tearing down the panopticon. Trans day of let us control the narrative instead of deferring to some cis sexologist's hallucination.

From 'Errand of Mercy'. Nimoy's traits are so singular it is a challenge to get his Spock right.

I worked on this all day yesterday only to post it the day after. Happy (belated) Birthday to James T. Kirk & William Shatner!

T'Lyn-inspired F!Spock.

Update: as of Q1 2027, I'll officially be registered as an Artist/Writer at the URSSAF — essentially a conglomerate of private companies that collect employee and employer social security contributions.

As a result, I will try to make public price estimates for services that I could render in the next months or so.

To anyone who intends on supporting another artist: your support means more than I can formulate. Genuine appreciation for art is our lifeblood.

Life update: if I manage to get an appointment with an endocrinologist by June, I should be able to start HRT in the weeks that will follow. Next year, I will also undergo surgery as part of my medical transition.

[grvning]

I attempted something I hadn't in years: a ballpen portrait. What I changed about it that I used no visual reference at all for this one, so you can better see my actual style overall.

He's too beautiful and elegant not to draw, regardless. 🖖
