I saw this pose by @albanenechi and I knew what I had to do.

When I am playing in a new medium one of two things are guaranteed: I will draw a lion or a Catra

Rambles below:

I rediscovered my Metal Gear Solid concept art book and I've been really into the art director's (Yoji Shinkawa) art lately

So I wanted to play around with these little highlighter markers that I got recently and I liked the result! :D

Though the markers are quite stiff, I would like to get brush pens instead. That's my next art buy.

I forgot how much more I prefer working in traditional. It's just so tactile and weight-y? compared to digital. Plus u get nice texture from the paper.

I illustrated a scene from my portal catradora fic and I'm feeling pretty gay about it

Local lesbian angry bc her catgirl situationship hasn't joined the hippie commune yet :c

AHHHHH I'm so excited to finally share my piece for @snarkyassholeenthusiast's The North Wind Last Night - her awesome Titanic AU for the @spopbigbang

My friend has been working super hard on this fic, and getting to collaborate both as her artist and beta reader has been an absolute blast.

When we were thinking of scenes to illustrate, this one, where Catra is guiding Adora through a breathing exercise was the easiest pick. Adora's inner monologue throughout, Catra guiding Adora's hand to her chest, Adora's whirlwind of emotions... GAH it's just top notch. Go read it! It's a blast!

Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I want: A Rival Bands AU "And my second decree is to take you out on that date" She asserts, crossing her arms in a confident stance.

"I'm not in the mood Catra, I need to fix things with Glimmer."

"Ah come on, you're going to spend the whole night sulking? It's not like she's going to talk to you right now."

Adora stands up, face heating up. She scoffs. "I'm not sulking! I'm just being responsible. It's not fair of me to have fun after what I did." Adora catches on to the ammo she just gave Catra a second too late.

"Oh so we're gonna have fun huh?" Catra purrs out as she positions herself behind Adora; she digs her claws gently into her arm and shoulder as she leans into her ear. "And how do you suppose we go about doing that?"

Oh gay panic, gay panic, gay panic, gay- "I- I didn't mean it like that!" Adora breathes out, the pressure of Catra's hands making her heart race.

"Uh-huh and what did you mean, princess?"

Written for the Secret Solstice event on the SPOP Creative Flex Server!

Yeah so here's the thing. After that Catra in suspenders drawing, artists in the creative server all collectively went nuts over masc Catra and now we can't stop, we're in a Masc Catrathon (TM). This is my contribution, cheers!
