My pattern piece for the second @ygocookbookzine! I'm so happy I could work on the zine again <3
it's on Preorder until >> April 20th << so make sure to pick one up!
I really wanted ot make a simple looking pattern with a soft adorable colour palette, and I'm sooooooo happy with them!!! they're so damn cute!!!! (@^◡^)
My comic for the @onceuponarainbowzine!! Insipered by the variations of "The Golden Crab" from greece and "The Prince Crawfish" from Belarus.
The leftover sales are open until the April 28th! So be sure to pick one up!!
I wanted to really try an communicate a certain story with this, with feeling of expectations from the world around you. Even in queer spaces it sometimes feels like if you don't fit into a certain "box" you've "failed" somehow.
As always this comic ended up with alot of layers to it, and ofc I fell in love with the main pair as soon as I came up with the concept >>-<<
More Comic commentary and character designs below the cut!
Plain comic!
I found working with colour was my favourite way of story telling, which is the same in my artwork too. Stark changes between black&white and colour made mapping out my message much easier.
I'm still very new to comics, but I have found ways I enjoy story telling. With flater perspectives and playing more with boarders of comic panels.
Though balancing th art I find fun and art which reads well is a new challange for me! But the more you do it the more you'll learn!
I can't wait to make some more story illustrations (´。• ᵕ •。`)
I decided early on that I wanted the crab to be Otherkin and Unlabeled with it/its pronouns. I wnated to make an effort to break out of my nique and empathise with lables that
I wanted to keep the crab in alternating gendered outfits, so it would be harder to gender it. From there I wanted to make a consious effort not to imply gender through the dialogue or outfits. with only 2 pages to work with you do have to skim over some nuace in the representation of identities ε-(≡Д≡;)
When desiging the clothes I tried to pull on a mix of acient greek gowns. With some Belarus clothing patterns on the crabs wedding cape. I wanted to keep the setting/time a little obscure, as the tale has multiple vartiations across europe.
Preview of the digital wallpapers I illustrated for the second @ygocookbookzine! I'm so happy I could work on the zine again <3
it's on Preorder until >> April 20th << so make sure to pick one up!
All 5 wallpapers are formatted for desktop, tablet, and phone sizes. So they'll look adorable no matter what ☆⌒(≧▽° )
This idea snowballed alot but I can never resist a set of illustrations. All 5 of the Yu Boys and Bracelet Girls in reverse cafe outfits, with a fruit spin.
Oh look another project I worked on :3 (I'm a busy bee)
The amount and veriaty of flags represented was so insane, even I haven't seen them all the card yet!!!
The pieces I did for this where my fav of last year, I can't wait for everyone to see them! <3
Hello Hello Everyone! Welcome to the Queer Expanded Tarot Project. A full 78 card Tarot deck themed around being Queer and the journey of self discovery.
This project is well underway and we're excited to share stuff with everyone over the coming weeks!
Some details! This deck has been modified to fit the Queer theming, every Major Arcana has a new name and our suits have been changed too. With this some cards have new readings. We'll be introducing each change with it's own post!
Every card is also tied to a specific pride flag. Yes, all 78 of them. We tried to be as varied and representative as possible when picking, but being Queer is an incredibly diverse and unique experience with as many labels as there are people! We hope you like our selection <3
Our artists have been working hard on making all of our card illustrations, we'll be showing off some of the early concept work for them as a break in the information barrage, before giving sneak peaks at the finalized work once the project launches!
Speaking of project launch, as of right now we are looking at a June 1st launch for this project! That's right! Queer Tarot for Pride Month. We hope you follow along!
Silver’s calculated his time leap wrong! The zine will be delayed until May 9th!
This was decided so all our contributors have time to comfortably finish their work. We hope you can all join us on Silvers official birthday for the release 🎉🎂
