Started brainstorming on similar for Ten and Twelve.
ALso, QOTD: Thougths so far on Fifteen's first series?
Re-upload, didn’t do superwell first time, don’t expect it to blow up now. But it just represents my own little personal growth and I want to find pride in that.
Take care of yourself and be proud of your journey, how small it may look to others.
And… done just past the last sec.
This is a remake of a Valentine’s Day-Special from… 2022? Damn. How fast time flies when you cry alone.
But yeah, last sec. So if you find any kind of error (other than the overall art style itself), probably why and if you want to be a saint, please let me know!
Let's see, how many Doctor Who-fans are in the room?
Look at him go! This was done just after my Hammond actually but been postponed so many times for other stuff. Wanted it to feel grounded, touchable. A real suit with an awkward mask and big gloves. Focus less on the hero and more on the story of the angsty kid with access to his aunt’s sewing machine, ready to take on the world.
Also, it happens to be my Birthday. Yay, go me.
My friend requested an Ant-Man. But I assume he meant Scott… and the MCU-version. But I felt classic Hank and his questionable stability was more in line with my stuff and my own selfish interests.
A creature I designed back in August, a being of pure floral and green, burned and regrowing. Approximately 3 metres high and kind in nature and non-violente as it lacks any claws or teeth.
What I’m the proudest of here is that I can’t recall any real inspiration. I watched a Psych2go-video where they introduced their new mascot, a marshmallow with a plant on its head representing growth and that was that. The idea sparked from the mention of growth but can’t really say the two creatures have anything in common more than that.
And the original sketch has the lower part being reminiscent of the meat-monster from Stranger Things S3 but not really ready to call that an inspiration either other than a scrapped idea for the material, being now supposed to be completely made of vines.
And yeah, it has light coming out of it like Groot back in Guardians 1 but not really a character I had in mind either when drawing this.
And that’s my favourite type of sketch, where I can just pick up a pen and let the hand do the work for me, this being a minority that I had an actual theme in mind for once.
The official sequel to that one post. It got very popular and I thought I would share the "answer" I found to my original "question".
The original comic is about growing up aneurotypical (specifically I have autism and ADHD among other things, e.g. being LGBT) in a world not made for that, and my profound feelings of alienation as a result.
Whether you share those specific problems or not, I am sincerely happy if it resonated with you and humbled that it meant something to so many people.
A popular addition to the post was "you will find your people". I think it is absolutely true that you can and will find people willing to support you and love you for who you are - I have, and their support made much of my growth possible (as well as therapy). I am grateful to the artist that made that addition and think it is important.
But I wanted to make this because to me, it was important to learn the message that you are allowed to exist as yourself, even if you were to never find a single other person who accepts you. You do not need the validation of others. Even if you feel like you were somehow made wrong, or will never fit in with anyone else, you have the right to exist.
Live authentically for yourself, and not for others. Pursue your passions.
It is intentional that the person in the comic never fully regains their color. I will never be the untraumatized child I once was. But that doesn't mean life is not worth living.
I love you, and I hope you try to live as you are.
Were originally planning to just redraw an old basic post, the two of them jumping over a rooftop but felt… nah. I’m not satisfied with my Miraculous-work. I need to do something big, something detailed, something filled with love and wow and oof. And I had done like posters and phone-backgrounds before but never given Miraculous a real character-filled wallpaper before like Spider-Man, Star Wars or Justice League so here! Probably my most claustrophobic wallpaper yet but actually losing to both Spider-Man 2 and Life is Strange with just 15 characters compared to their 16! But this is filled with full body-drawings, fully drawn, zero traced faces or anything and took like a week to make thanks to also working now, so the longest project to date! You’re welcome!
I wanted something to represent the whole Agreste-Saga and had a ton of different ideas and sketches to pick from. There was the book, the rings, the wall between them, all the supportive casts including drama, rivals, a mysterious cousin, 5 whole seasons of stories but I think I managed to mush it all down to one final product!
