An art trading game

So instead, i only have this humble sketch of our pretty boi to offer

Sad holly.

All hail my old af art

Here have a horribly done redraw thingy of this post by @tarchey

FowlFest 2023, day5, favourite scene

Heavy tlc spoilers

Artemis,

Help me.

We don't possibly talk enough about this scene. And theres no valid excuse for that!

We all, including Holly, know what he did was for the better; and he did not in fact let her die.

But imagine being stabbed through your heart with a fucking cursed sword, and you ask the one and only person you trust to save you in that situation for help, only to be watched to death before their very eyes.

And Holly had never asked for help. I don't remember her doing it after either. She does shit on her own. The agony, the pain, and oh boy the TRUST, for her to do that.

Its painful.

Yes, Artemis in fact didn't let holly die, but she is to forever have nightmares about that moment. And in her dreams, Artemis does indeed only care enough to glance her way briefly.

Weve talked so much about how bizarre Artemis looks when he smiles,

But what if his smiles were really sweet?

Tutle neck arty btw, if you even care

Bonus:

Greetings, I'm the new asshole you'll be dealing with🖤 please come pick up this random person I kidnapped so I can steal your gold.

Yes I know my style changes every 0.5 seconds i am aware

Why is this so them?

I read too much yaoi.

Stop whitewashing Holly Short

I feel like I have to have this talk somewhere outside my head.

I, a 14 year old teenager of color, have always loved Holly Short.

She was described as powerful, with features like a hooked nose, and a dark skin, that made her beautiful. Things that I have always been insecure about, teased for, insulted for, were what made her beautiful.

The powerful woman, who fought sexism and always did the right thing, IMMEDIATELY became my comfort character.

I started to feel better about myself. Draw portraits with my favourite features in my self exaggerated in them. I loved my own features, because she had them.

And then, after reading the whole series and loving it, came the thirst for content. Content in wich, Holly Short, was always whitwashed.

So many fanart, official comics, covers, the goddamn movie! In all of them, Holly wasn't how i imagined her to be. The fact punches me every time. Her skin, her features, are FLAWS that people just prefer to erase from her character.

I still remember how sad i got when i first was raving to a friend about Holly and she said 2 my face how she thought she would be prettier if she were white.

Whitewashing Holly is basically saying the same thing.

Many may go, "whatever, who gives a shit about her color".

But things like this are what make teenagers, kids, like me back at the time, insecure and hating themselves because of simply simply being born the way they are born.

Some people aren't destined to have a happy ending.

Finally colored this! I loved experimenting with this textured watercolor brush, it turned out nicely:)

A bunch of crops cause im proud of the details:')

Some people aren't destined to have a happy ending.

It didn't turn out exactly how i imagined it either but it was fun

My beloved

Meet Holly

Shes my new bunny!

Made this in my diary last night

I've done this before but thinking that Holly would look like me has always been a way to heal insecurities

So here we go again-

I do look white-ish because of the snap chat filter

My actual skin tone is brown - green so yeah

I wanted to draw this better but it felt like i hadn't drawn in forever so

Have some sad scarred arty ispired by @af-answers ' latest post goodbye.
