An old sketch from deep in the files. There's something to be said about the vulnerability in offering gifts and affection.

A smattering of doodles of Nikolina and Bjorn. The fact that these two idiots have kind of imposing designs, but get so sickly sweet over each other is just... *chef's kiss* Peak gap moe to me.

I was presented with an opportunity, and was not stopped.

When I finalized Juniper's redesign with this painting, the response was mixed. People were generally supportive. Some folks disengaged when their compliments that "she" was cute was met with a thanks, and a gentle correction that he's a dude.

I took this to heart as critique. I compiled more references, practiced his form more. Yet even with my diligence, that discomfort turned to aggression the more I polished Juniper. This came to a head on an early draft of this sketch. Somebody I considered a close friend demanded to know:

"What makes that a man?"

Suddenly, a lot of resistance I'd experienced while out to these people as trans had a new perspective.
