their name is gniya and they’re a city goblin in some kinda lopsided pastel dystopia

goblins are short-lived and reckless as a result but everyone forgets that they’re passionate, enthusiastic collectivists who’re real fuckin useful for the revolution; gniya is a marxist-sidarin who’s easily underestimated and plays off stereotypes to smuggle supplies to their more explosives-happy comrades on the inside

here’s cap in #6, anon! i hope he’s recognizable, i’m not sure why i went semi-realist with a color challenge ;;

[colonizationkills]

bucky barnes, palette #14 for kiwisson. this one was a quick sketch!

i may have taken “soft pastel winter soldier” and run with it and put him in pastel grunge sweatervest-and-jeans not that he’s really recognizably winter soldier like that (and that’s meant to be a star tattoo on skin, then an elbow-down prosthetic).

[im-great-at-blogs]

key is giving stuff away!

so, i hand-draw little fandom/queer charms, which i then put on key rings or necklaces. i also have a run of 4”x6” prints which i need to get rid of, and i’ve hit something like 450 followers on both my fandom and main blog, hence, giveaway!

prizes:

two pictured prints, two custom necklaces/pairs of earrings/key rings/mix and match of whatever you’d like (subject to negotiation), plus four other things from the pile of stuff that already exists, including the prints.

a pictured print, a custom key ring, andfour things from the existing pile of stuff (including the prints).

a pictured print, and four other things from the existing pile of stuff (again, including the prints).

additional info/rules:

giveaway ends april 1. for real. it’s just a convenient date.

one reblog and one like, i don’t care if you’re following me or if it’s a giveaway blog, etc. if we’re in a mutual i’ll probably make you more stuff though.

i’ll ship stuff internationally, tissue-wrapped in a plastic bag in a standard letter envelope! i can’t guarantee how well this method works with your local post; any upgrade in shipping is probably one i can’t afford and thus at your own cost.

you need to be comfortable either giving me your address or meeting me on the university of auckland campus.

there are more things in the pile of stuff than are pictured, and some of the things pictured don’t actually exist in said pile any more. except the prints. all those exist in pretty big quantities.

i’m not making chain necklaces (like the magikarp one), only coated wire ones (like the g*psy danger one).

i want you to make me something, but i can’t wait for the giveaway to end!

you can totally order stuff! prices are pretty simple and really cheap.

$1 for prints

$2 for custom things with a simple motif (a written slogan or something geometric and single-color like a kree star or triskelion), except necklaces

$3 for other custom things except necklaces

$4 for custom necklaces

plus shipping, which is 70c within NZ or $2.50 internationally.

just drop me an ask, fill out this form or email me at kiran (at) klutz.geek.nz if you have any questions or want to buy something!

Link to full size, it’s a big one

I said I have a lot of thoughts about shoes and the woeful mistakes even seasoned professional artists make with them, and I wasn’t kidding. Here’s a lot of words about high heels, in a constructive way.

for shinykari! not exactly what you were looking for, and i was bad and didn’t bother cleaning up my lines or anything (or drawing any detail at all, heh), but here you are. reference image by senshistock on deviantart, drawn on my tablet in autodesk sketchbook pro.

ok so, y’know the thing me and my friends are doing with campaigning for my high school to become a safer place for survivors of sexual assault?

here’s the deal. i had to buy the domain name for the website. domain names, in nz, cost like $25 each. and as much as that’s expensive for a domain name, i know it’s really not that much money - except that it is for me at the moment. so i’m asking for help.

i’ll draw a thing for you, for $5. any two characters interacting or in some kind of badass generic pose. here’s some samples of the kind of thing you can get (and you can choose from transparent/block colored/simple patterned background, and also from colored/black and smooth/crayon lineart):

my paypal and email are [email protected], or you can just drop me an ask if you want to hash out details beforehand. i’ve still got one exam and then a road trip soon, so i can’t guarantee i’ll do the drawing within a certain time limit, but you won’t have to pay until you get it (high-res, in whatever reasonable format you’d prefer), so i hope that’s okay!

alternatively, if you like my style and think you’d want a cartoon thing like the above (or, hell, any sort of text slogan in a cool font or something) on a t-shirt or bag or something, i can create your thing and put it up as a society6 shirt for you to buy, and i’ll get my money from the creator’s cut, that’s fine too!

thank you for helping me out!!
