Well, hey! It's Alva!
It's been a while since I've drawn for myself, so here's a picture of Alva, my OC from the Old West shapeshifter world.
Alva is a 60-something year old nonbinary tailor who can shapeshift into a donkey. They're kind of short, easy to pick up, and the running joke is that they don't know they're nonbinary but everyone around them can tell. They're a Spongebob-esque character, full of wonder and whimsy and generally seeing the best in people. They're excellent at chess, love embroidering little details, and have a love/hate relationship with wedding season. Their voice kin is the late Leslie Jordan.
I realized recently that everything I'm drawing is for commissions or a major project; it's no wonder I've been feeling listless lately. Drawing for myself was a joy, and I think this comes through in this drawing. I'm also trying out some different painting techniques, as I feel my art is stagnating a little, and I'm ready to push it again.
