I made a slug girl and my friend suggested I make her into a drag queen- so I did! (I also changed her into a snail, lol)

Terrible phone doodle because when inspiration strikes you gotta do what you gotta do

rouxls kaard forever icon. starts a polycule by inserting himself into a failed relationship. also does it because he thinks the people he's fighting against are also in a polycule and he wanted to one up them. his negative rizz causes the failed relationship to get back together. he is the moment

"Prometheus" Raincode Minibang 2025

(CH.5 MDA: RAIN CODE SPOILERS BELOW!)

Super happy to have gotten to participate in this Rain Code Minibang hosted by @snivyartjpeg ! I got the honour of making an illustration based on @draconicsparkle's Makoto and Yuma-centric fanfic, "Prometheus"! <- Which you can read here!

Unspoilered illustration + explanation of the piece below the cut :)

Rant about the drawing below ~ again, please go read the fic here!

I wanted to try and capture the different emotions Draconic wrote about that Makoto went through during his experience in the lab: The hopelessness, fear, and the revelation of how much harm the scientists were willing to bring to him to achieve their goals.

I really like the end product and composition of this, but unfortunately, most of my memories for this drawing are associated with a boatload of stress. 4 days before the deadline of June 30th my cat sat on my computer and ended up corrupting my file for the drawing. (And knowing how slow of an artist I am, a terrible panic-driven crash out followed. No cats were harmed ofc, just my soul.) I had to trace over everything from the one screenshot I got before it all happened and redo all the rendering work with the time I had. 😭😭 So if it looks scrappy in places, that's why.

That aside, I still had fun doing the expressions and lighting for this! Everyone working on this project was so nice and understanding. It was such a pleasant environment to be in! :3

Extra! - If you've ever been interested in my sketching process, here was the first draft I came up with vv

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY RAINCODE!! ☔☔

Two logic-driven people in a room. They might steal a puzzle from their toddler and do it themselves out of frustration kiss

Did a puzzle with my niece tonight. Learned something about myself. Projected it onto The Characters. Feels correct.

The Apothecary Diaries nails the quiet sadness of the abused. I can't remember crying this much in a while.
