Hi there gang, now that we have pinned posts, I'm Rake.
I'm a queer, hobbyist artist from the UK.
I love the design trappings of 1970s p*rnochic but without any of the hangups. So if you love comics, disco, fashion & gay stuff then say hello & maybe chuck me a tip? Tysm 🤠

A mock magazine cover featuring a self portrait of the artist wearing shades and a blue denim jacket over a white tee, whilst holding a red drinking flask. The phrase "Meet The Artist" is atop in large font as the magazine title. A mock movie poster depicting a stylish black woman with a blonde afro, a bikini top and orange flares standing over a cityscape with flames behind her. The Title "Chewing Toffy is overlaid in a retro font". A mock western style movie poster featuring a woman in cowboy/western attire standing over a desert environment. The title "The Mirage" is overlaid. This is technically fanart of an X-men character. A mock erotic, pulp book cover displaying a muscular man in his underwear, wearing a brown cowboy hat and suggestive belts. The title "Raw Hide" is overlaid.

So I just got into Palia...

And to no one's surprise I'm romancing the hot dad.

[ #art #palia #paliafanart #HodariPavel #Hodari ]
Fanart of the character Hodari Pavel from the game Palia. There are three images of Hodari on a tan background with bright blue boxes behind each of the images. On the the left is a half body illustration. Hodari is an older muscular man with medium length dark hair, purple skin, and pointed ears. He's wearing beige coveralls with a dark jacket over top, and dark leather gloves. One hand is on his hip, while the other is raised brushing his hair out of his face. He's smiling at the viewer, and has a speech bubble above him that reads "Fancy seein' you 'round these parts." On the top right is headshot with Hodari looking to the left. The pair of goggles he wears around his neck are covering his eyes. The goggles are large and clunky with blue lenses. On the bottom right is another half body illustration. Hodari is topless with his coveralls partially removed and tied around his waist. He holds a large pick axe over his shoulder, and is covered in dirt and sweat after a hard day of work. He's looking towards the viewer with a winded look and has a speech bubble above his head that reads "Uh... Hot one today, huh?" You can thank my friends for encouraging the thirsty drawing.

It's so discouraging to post art when you see how fucked up the ratio of like to repost is. Just please, do the second click, it's literally few seconds and does so much more for struggling artists.
Doodle of my sona Meh pointing at repost/reblog button with their finger. There is "this one is important" written near them.

Did my hair in such a way that now I'm waiting for my husband to return from war or possibly Transylvania.

At this point I do sincerely believe this anti phone and social media drive is rooted in the "social contagion" idea of being trans. They do not think she died because she used her phone, they think she died because people in her phone convinced her she was a girl.

maybe if the BBC hadn’t adopted a transphobic agenda & spent the last decade slobbering all over the far right the younger generations might still want to give them money. alas,

good. the people who want to support the BBC can choose to do so and the rest of us can stop receiving letters threatening jail time for the crime of having a TV in our homes every damn month. or, worse, be fined and jailed for the crime of having a TV in our home.

Heeey, Artist! Quote with your strong woman art!💪
She is a woman with bluish skin and red eyes, dressed in a formal black dress with a high collar. Her hair is pulled back into a neat bun. The background consists of concentric circles and flowing geometric shapes in shades of red, black, and orange. Light and shadow are depicted in a stylized manner, with sharp angles and contrasting colors. She is a woman with bluish skin and red eyes, dressed in a formal black dress with a high collar.

10 years of content, art, comments, my art history and evolution… gone. I didnt do anything, I cant contact human support, you cant comment or appeal again, it was probably AI that suspended me and that reviewed my account. I didnt do anything against the community standards

I'm a very lousy artist who doesn't claim to be at a professional standard but even I think that the single locked background layer is crazy.

a doodle of viktor, with a blue velvet cap very similar to the one arwen wears in Return of the King. He's holding a necklace with a light blue glow on it a doodle of jayce, with clothes similar to aragorn in The fellowship of the ring. He has a necklace with a bright blue gem, enchased in a silver cast
