Pride month art 4/10
Also I will be doing the rest of my pride month art even if it’s late :’)
Afterwards I might not post any actual fully done art for a bit, I’m hoping to do an art study for the next few months or till I’m happy with my skill level :)) though I’ll probably post some of the art study stuff
Just finished The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas and... What the fuck? What was the reason? This book broke me in a way I didn't even know existed. I don't know what to say except "What the fuck?"

Title: The Sunbearer Trials (The Sunbearer Duology #1)
Author: Aiden Thomas
Page length: 352
Synopsis: The Hunger Games meets Percy Jackson in this electric Mexican-inspired fantasy from Aiden Thomas, the New York Times-bestselling author of Cemetery Boys.
As each new decade begins, the Sun’s power must be replenished so that Sol can keep traveling along the sky and keep the evil Obsidian gods at bay. Ten semidioses between the ages of thirteen and eighteen are selected by Sol himself as the most worthy to compete in The Sunbearer Trials. The winner carries light and life to all the temples of Reino del Sol, but the loser has the greatest honor of all―they will be sacrificed to Sol, their body used to fuel the Sun Stones that will protect the people of Reino del Sol for the next ten years. Teo, a 17-year-old Jade semidiós and the trans son of Quetzal, goddess of birds, has never worried about the Trials…or rather, he’s only worried for others. His best friend Niya―daughter of Tierra, the god of earth―is one of the strongest heroes of their generation and is much too likely to be chosen this year. He also can’t help but worry (reluctantly, and under protest) for Aurelio, a powerful Gold semidiós and Teo’s friend-turned-rival who is a shoo-in for the Trials. Teo wouldn’t mind taking Aurelio down a notch or two, but a one-in-ten chance of death is a bit too close for Teo’s taste. But then, for the first time in over a century, Sol chooses a semidiós who isn’t a Gold. In fact, he chooses two: Xio, the 13-year-old child of Mala Suerte, god of bad luck, and…Teo. Now they must compete in five mysterious trials, against opponents who are both more powerful and better trained, for fame, glory, and their own survival.
Skipped ahead so I didn’t lose the idea lol
It’s rlly bad but it’s supposed to be atzi when she blasted teo out of the sky in the first trial.
