Part 1 of the birthday presents I drew for my younger sibling
I love how cute and aesthetic this turned out, everything here represents a part of the lgbtq community
heheheheh, gay alchemy
I'm going to be joining in Art Fight again this year on Team Wither!
I had so much fun last year. I made a bunch of new friends and really improved my art, but most of all I got to draw so many amazing OCs. All the artists are so creative, it's super inspiring. I'm looking forward to another fantastic month of art, friends, and fun.
This year, on the 31 March, we lost Gilbert Baker, gay artist and creator of the gay pride flag. Today we would celebrate his 66th birthday. Let’s remember him as the wonderful person he was.
Summary: Rhys has a problem, and Yor offers to help him out. That night in Yor's tent, what started as a simple haircut led to them discovering more about each other than expected.

Two emotionally repressed assholes find out Rhys likes having his hair pulled.
Check out the first part under the cut:
“That’s the seventh time you’ve done that, Vanwenys,” Yor mused, lengthening his stride to walk side-by-side with the startled elf as they traveled down the road behind the others.
A wide brown eye snapped to the other man before confusion drew his brows together. “Done what?”
“Scratched the back of your neck like that,” responded Yor. “Did a bug bite you or something?”
That prompted Rhys to roll his eye in an attempt at annoyance. “Oh, good to know that you have nothing better to do than to count stupid little things,” he drawled, and Rhys’ customary sarcasm was nearly enough to bury the fondness that colored his words.
At the sight of Yor’s raised eyebrow, he shrugged, relenting, “Nah, no bug bite. My hair’s just getting long and I hate the feeling of it on the back of my neck. Drives me crazy.” He punctuated his statement by scratching at his neck for the eighth time.
Upon closer inspection, Yor noticed that indeed his hair had grown: the usual bristle-short strands now unruly little curls. Truthfully, Yor thought the tiny curls were charming (not that he’d ever admit that to Rhys), but he could tell they really were a nuisance when the other’s hand reached up again and Yor had to gently smack it away.
Rhys growled in frustration, but before he could take it out on the other, Yor rumbled, “I can cut it for you if you’d like.”
Here's the video I made while working on my final request. Now you can see my entire process from start to finish, and all the fucking around and finding out that it entails! Hopefully seeing the tricks and techniques I use (and all the futzing around I do) inspires some of you.
Here is the link to the inking brush I use (it’s amazing) and here is the link for the braid brush.
If you have any questions about my process, comments, or tips for CSP, feel free to send me a message! I’d love to chat 😊
