Hello! I did a thing for Nova and Mali's "Classics...but make it gay" art book! The pre-orders are closed at the moment but I think they'll reopen again in winter/fall so please keep an eye on their twitter page if you'll like a copy! Everyone in it is amazing and I am very thankful for being accepted for the project! I did a reinterpretation of Leighton's "God Speed" because I just want an excuse to paint two knights staring lovingly at each other haha > <
Peaceful 🌼🤍
Skin and feather and bone. If you could take it into your own dead hands, you would.
they/them
can’t talk right now, doing queer knight stuff.

you’ve just learned that the person you reblogged this from was convicted of being a serial killer. what are the things you say were early warning signs
i know its easy to think about what the ideal arthurian tv show/film would look like but for me in terms of paper media i actually think a comic series would work best to capture the meta storytelling themes that are almost required for modern arthuriana. im thinking, like– there’s a bit in Young Avengers Vol. 2 where the villain grabs the narrator’s speech bubble off the page and eats it. there’s another moment where a character hops into the space between comic panels, and another where someone rifles through different versions of themselves and picks the one they want to be. and its all visually represented using the conventions of the comic genre, twisted them and warping them and turning them on their head. loki: agent of asgard does this as well and also sandman overture– i think all these stories that have to do with perception and reputation and living traditions as meta work really well in a medium that is, in my mind, perhaps one of the most fluid and versatile storytelling venues in existence. also i think gawain should be able to read the narration boxes and lancelot should be able to travel between panels and guinevere should be able to rewrite other characters dialogue

Ghosts or something like that.
its chill he gets better lmao
ok so i was gonna do a whole lancelot comic and this was the first image but it looks bad so im gonna do the comic in a different style. HOWEVER while this is bad i also am proud of having improved enough to do this badly whereas before i would not be able to do it at all! :)
its like… i totally know that doing the lineless painting thing makes my art look worse than it would normally (not that it normally looks particularly good) but i do think its important to practice and i know that 3 months ago making that drawing look at all like a human person would have been a stretch, so i am still proud even though it doesnt look good. ya know. like hey i ABSOLUTELY improved even if im not good.
grabs ur face
stop disconnecting from the thing ur making just because ur afraid it’s not good. I know you don’t wanna get ur feelings hurt caring for a project that other people might not like but dammit that’s better than deciding not to give a shit and hiding behind self-deprecating humor and dispassionately trudging ahead! fuck!
