Usually I do my comparison pictures with the “before” being art I didn’t particularly like in the first place? But I still adore that first picture. I ended up using the same reference for the lineless portrait I just finished and I thought it’d be cool to see them side by side.

Day 30 - Appreciation (Blue)

I, Razz Rey Aster, take you, Bailey Azure Serif, to be the brightest light of my life. I cannot express to you the happiness you bring me, everything I know of you building into someone I could never help but fall in love with. I cannot wait to live our dreams side by side. I promise to not only grow old together, but to grow together, through the troubles and adversity we will face. I promise to support and trust you, and to cherish every second by your side. I promise compassion, and I promise understanding. I promise to build a home with you filled with joy, and I promise to remember the awe I feel every time I look at you. I pledge to you my love, and my support, and my undying faith. I pledge to you eternity.

Day 23 - Stargazing

For the entire month of May 2018, there will be one piece posted a day. From there on, art will be posted once a week. Accompanying lyrics are below the cut!

Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night And we'll lie inside, a little while he wrote I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up And we’re wrapped in light, in life, in love Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut For they’re designed to be together oh With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one And we’re set alight, we’re afire love, love, love oh

And with this, I start another project. I love these characters so much that I decided I wanted to do a story with them, but not one so much in writing as in art. To start off, I’m doing a 31-day art challenge, posting once a day for the entire month of May, and from there, I’ll continue to expand on the story and events and interactions between Razz and Blue. I hope you all enjoy.

Day 15 - Christmas

For the entire month of May 2018, there will be one piece posted a day. From there on, art will be posted once a week. Story details are below the cut!

For the holidays every year that Razz’s parents aren’t out of the country, the two of them go to his parent’s house. On Christmas Day especially, there’s a lot of extended family in the house. To be honest a lot of them didn’t even notice that Razz looked different the last couple of years, so he’s kind of surprised when this year, one of his great-uncles had a bit of a misunderstanding where he got suitably offended that Blue was bringing her new boyfriend to the family gatherings and rubbing in his “niece’s” nose. “You really are family, my dear, but it just seems a bit rude, if you ask me”. Razz took great joy in the look on the dude’s face when he was like “no, hi, it’s me, niece is definitely not niece anymore, nice to talk to you”. It didn’t bother him any, it was mostly funny, but Blue tugged Razz off somewhere else anyway. Razz thought he was super funny when he found some mistletoe somewhere and just,,,pulled it down to hold over Blue’s head “this means you have to kiss me right” then stuck his tongue out like he was going to lick her face. She laughed for a solid five minutes after that nonsense.

Day 19 - Hanging Out With Friends

For the entire month of May 2018, there will be one piece posted a day. From there on, art will be posted once a week. Story details are below the cut!

Okay so the idea behind this day was that it was hanging out with friends, but I ended up just drawing them with Slim. He’s basically their best friend and he’s honestly really great so we’re gonna talk about him. 

Slim is Razz’s younger brother, their parents adopted them at the same time but Slim was only about a year old and Razz was around four. They took a little getting used to each other but then got really close. Razz was adopted from Spain, so he only spoke Spanish when he was adopted. Of course his parents enrolled him in classes to make sure he learned English, but they also worked hard themselves to learn Spanish because they didn’t ever want him to lose that, so they would speak it around him a lot growing up. As Slim got older he started to realize that everybody would sometimes say things he couldn’t understand, and that really upset him, so Razz started trying to teach him Spanish. At the time, they were only like five and eight years old, so Razz wasn’t the most effective teacher, but Slim can still speak pretty good conversational Spanish when he needs to. There’s certainly no talking over his head in a different language, and he’s certainly got a better hang of it than Blue. 

Then, as I’ve mentioned before, Slim was the first person Razz came out to about being trans. Slim was the only person to know at all for a little over a year before Razz came out to the others. Razz trusts Slim with just about anything. Unfortunately, that does tend to place Slim in the middle of Razz’s relationship, but he doesn’t really mind. It gets a little annoying to hear the day-to-day complaints, sure, but there’s not much that’s better than seeing how happy his brother is with Blue. 

He’s really close to Blue, too. He considers her his sister just as surely as he considers Razz his brother. There was once, right after he graduated high school, where he was looking for jobs because he took a gap year? and he got a call from Blue, who’s car had broken down and who’s useless boyfriend knew absolutely fuck-all about cars. He had an interview but he blew it off to go help her. When she found out she was pretty mad at him but he was like “oh, yes, let me cry about missing a dead-end job opportunity to help out my sister, of course you’re more important” and she just started crying and he didn’t know why at first but it turns out that was the first time he’d ever called her his sister. 

At this point in time, he’s a med student. He wants to follow in his dads’ footsteps, both of them, but he’s pretty trash at anything in the kitchen that isn’t baking. He can bake up a storm, like holy shit his chocolate-caramel lava cake is to die for, but he figured that medicine was a far more stable career than a baker, even with his dad’s connections. His real passion, though, is boxing. He absolutely adores it. Their parents are really big on making sure their kids follow their dreams, which is why they encouraged Blue so hard to be a dance major, so Slim had to explain to them that he loves boxing, sure, but it would ruin it if it became his full-time job. He wants to do that for himself, then he’ll be a doctor for everyone else. 

This will come up in more detail later, but Slim has this off-and-on girlfriend that he met at the gym he boxes at. He wouldn’t call her his girlfriend, but he does like her quite a bit. If he had to stick a label on that relationship, it’d just be to say that they were friends with benefits. Unfortunately, she broke off any relationship that did exist quite suddenly, and that’s why this picture is a thing. Slim told Razz what happened and Razz knew he was upset, so he and Blue went over to see if he was okay and he was beating the shit out of a punching bag.  It’d be a little while before they found out why this girl up and broke it off so suddenly.

Sorry, I forgot his tattoos and had to reupload lol

Got a portrait done for Adrian! I think I’m probably going to have to go back and redo Bailey and Razz’s portraits because I can see myself getting better every time I do these and I don’t want theirs to be the worst ones.

Fun fact! I used the same reference for this portrait as I did for his last official one! It’s fun to compare!

Day 10 - Pride Parade

For the entire month of May 2018, there will be one piece posted a day. From there on, art will be posted once a week. Story details are below the cut!

Okay so Razz’s parents are rich, as I’ve mentioned. The reason for this is that one of his fathers is a doctor and the other is a renowned chef. Their names are Greg and George Aster. They’re great. But the renowned chef, is, obviously, very good in the kitchen. And guess who taught his kids how to cook? So yeah Razz does all the cooking in his relationship. Blue shows up one day while Razz is doing his chef thing and Blue just dumps this pile of clothes on the counter, right next to where Razz is trying to like??? Cook?? How dare she.

So he’s like “Blue why” and she just “Pride parade.” and he bursts out laughing because he thinks she’s kidding but she just stands there and grins at him. Finally he’s like “c’mon you can’t be serious. Pride??” “Yeah! We are so gay.” “...No. We’re not. We’re gonna get chased off the premises for being a straight couple at pride. Not to boost my own ego but I fuckin’ pass, bitch.” And Blue raises a brow and Razz just immediately backpedals. “I wasn’t calling you a--” higher brow raise “You know it’s just a figure of speech!” And Blue just busts up laughing then puts on the puppy dog eyes and digs up the clothes she got for him. “Please?” “...Fine……..”
