So it's been a while since I've tried to do art because sometimes sh*t happens, and it happened to happen a lot this last time since the holidays. But whatever, lately I felt like I should redirect my depression to something more artistic
So I found this amazing picture from a Statue of the Virgin Mary, and I tried to paint it. Somehow ended up painting the final scene from the movie Midsommar.
So yeah I decided to start July by genderbending Izma from The Emperor's New Groove. I've honestly been wanting to do this for a while now (I love genderbending and bendergending)
His name is Devon and he's a brand new OC of mine that I managed to finish drawing before Pride Month ends which makes me happy. Here's his presentation:
