Hi, my name is Arielle, and I’m a Filipina-American freelance illustrator, comic book artist, and writer! As a long-time theater kid, I love drawing characters with emotionally specific facial expressions and body language, and designing fun outfits and sets for them to live in. I take a lot of inspiration from vintage illustrations, fashion, musicals, and books. You might know my work from my graphic novels Black Star, Evil Thing: A Villains Graphic Novel, or most recently Girl Taking Over: A Lois Lane Story. It’s equally possible you’ve seen my work floating around here on Tumblr because I’ve been on this platform for 12 years!! Thanks so much for taking a look~ :)
Pleased to meet you, Arielle! Below is some of her work that she has picked out for you all to appreciate.
For more of Arielle’s work, be sure to check out her Tumblr, @jovaline!

I hope you guys are enjoying these polls as much as I enjoy making them. Some of these shows I just don’t talk about as much as I would’ve when I was really into them, so getting people responding to these from shows I used to absolutely adore is always really nice :) ty all for voting, hope your days are well ❤️
High school theater is so much fun because literally everyone is unstable as shit, pretty much no one has their schoolwork fully up to date, we’re all exhausted, and there’s usually huge amounts of relationship tattering drama but during performance nights we drop all of that off and if asked, we would all still die for each other. It’s like the pinnacle of non negotiable found family.
