As we welcome this month of celebration and remembrance, please remember that our Black friends and allies bore the burden for us so that we could live without fear; the black rights movement paved the way for the recognition of LGBTQ+ rights; the first Pride was a riot by queer people of colour. It’s time for us to stand and bear the burden with them.
The only true way to destroy hate is to spread love and pride… BRING ON PRIDE MONTH
“Wow, Sophie, your hair looks just like starlight. It’s beautiful!”
“You think so? So do I! 💕”
Originally this was a sketch for @shirairo‘s birthday that I made back in April. I finally cleaned it up and colored it to try to get back into the art groove.
This one was a little bit more challenging to do than I thought it would be – and that was mostly in all the detail (RIP) ,as well as figuring out ways to adapt a Klimt-esque look to Howl. It was really tempting to put him in his pink jacket since it lends itself to rectangular form so well. However I just had to go and make things difficult for myself… because I love his transformed version!
