Here is my OC and Trollsona, Amaranth, drawn by the amazingly talented @solidburnreturned . Seriously, if you want something drawn, go and see them. I don’t know if they have any open commissions now, but it never hurts to ask.
Some tidbits about Amaranth
Amaranth is a demifemale who goes by she/they and is a young adult. Growing up in an abusive family in a culture that doesn’t talk about such things, she has found ways to cope by pouring her heart and soul into her music.

HAIR-O-WEEN DAY 2: DELECTABLE!
Hickory appreciation week, day 3: favorite ship.
Spooky little bat-rooms can be fun for Halloween. You're in the right room for a pants-wetting fright! 👻
why do you and others like vaccines so much?
not dying of preventable diseases is actually one of my favorite hobbies
I’m so burnt out from work that this little rat making music has me crying on this fine Friday night
I can’t even blame this on the burnout. His sweet little tune would bring a tear to my eye on my happiest day. I love this man and his fantastic art.
“Meet the Reaper” AKA Top 10 photos taken before disaster
Spoiler alert: Grim did not win the game.
I really miss that show
That was my childhood
What a wild premise for a kids tv show.
Two kids permanently enslave the grim reaper with friendship because they beat him at limbo
God bless nurses forever

Who’s Alex?
Billboard demonstrating gender stereotypes as most people automatically assume that Alex is the boy.
Actually, I’ve studied design and advertising, and I can tell you that the reason people would look at this and immediately assume Alex is the boy is because, quite simply, the boy is the focal point of the ad.
English-speaking readers’ line of sight goes from left to right and up to down. This ad leads the viewer from the words MEET ALEX etc straight to the boy and then over and down to the girl. I didn’t even notice there was a set of parenthesis with words in them in the ad until I looked the fourth time.
This is a fallacious confirmation bias, as anyone looking at it will assume Alex is the focal point (i.e. The Boy) and then if they’re perceptive they’ll notice the words at the bottom. Aha! Those damn gender stereotypes gotcha again! Except no, because the ad literally forces you to read it as “Alex is the boy” by the visual language and lines of sight.
A better ad would have been structured from top to bottom instead of left to right, and wouldn’t have pushed the girl, the real subject of the ad (who, by the way, has been VISUALLY PUSHED OUT OF HER RIGHTFUL SPACE ON THE AD BY HER BROTHER) off to the corner as far away from her identifiers as possible.
Here, I’ll make you a better ad.
Bam. Shitty stock photo but you get the point. If anyone sees this and assumes Alex is the boy, they don’t have the the ad layout to use as an excuse for their internalized gender shittery. Likewise, the ad isn’t actively trying to make you read it a certain way and THEN making you feel guilty for interpreting it the way they designed it to be.
Holy fuck someone who actually understands design, sexism, and how they intersect? Yesssss
