finally finished my first fanart of #KCD2 :)
a lot of hours, a lot of fun!!
A digital fanart of Henry from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, sitting on a horse, both in armor. The style is an imitation of an oil painting (i tried) and has a frame around it with some silly medieval animals and patterns.

Details from my cover for @fondalee.bsky.social's #greenbonesaga with @orbitbooks.bsky.social and CD Lauren Panepinto, so you can see how painted-looking this is up close. Pure fun. I have an advance copy of the box set and the printing fidelity is choice. This edition is cut, kk 💚

🩷🌸Lesbian Pride Again🌼🧡
Hermes and Jolyne. They are wearing gowns with the colors of the lesbian pride flag. The fabrics are sheer and shaped a little like butterfly wings. There are butterflies and roses all around them.

An illustration of a transfem knight holding a banner sporting the trans flag. Her helmet has a long braid and her chestpiece and codpiece are pronounced. The armors overall decoration is leaves and scalloped trims. An illustration of a transmasc knight, holding a banner sporting the trans flag. His armor is a darker color and star themed, with a row of white stars where top surgery scars would be.

“black boys ain’t meant to vanish”
tamir was a name
before it was a hashtag.
was a laugh
before it was a lesson.
was twelve—
not a prophet,
not a threat,
just a kid
with a toy
& a country
that never learned to love
Black joy.

"Excalibur" 🔪✨

My first assignment in Cynthia Sheppard's "Illustrating the Emotional Narrative" class at Smarterartschool!
King Arthur sits on the ground next to a mossy rock, proudly thrusting the sword Excalibur up into the air, suggesting that he's just drawn it out from the stone. It has a magical blue glow. In the background, some people cheer his success, while a few others seem miffed about it.

An illustration of a coat of arms on a yellow background with a knights helmet perched on top of it. The coat of arms is in the trans flag colors, depicting a white lion with a crown and broken shackles. The ribbons flowing around the coat of arms have text on them saying "Trans Rights are Human Rights".

Just a gentle reminder for those on antidepressants in this heat 🔥 Not everyone knows this, so please share to spread the word ❤️
A graphic titled "Hot weather reminder" with a sun illustration at the top. The text advises staying hydrated, resting in cool environments, and finding shade to stay safe during hot weather.

medieval pride parade!
a medieval style digital drawing showing a group of people surrounded by an ornate gold border. On the left, there is a brown woman with long, curly brown hair, smiling and looking to her left with her hands thrown up. She’s wearing a purple dress with gold trim, a trans flag cloak, and a flower crown in the lesbian flag colors. She’s holding hands with a Black woman to her right, who has short, curly black hair with a flower in the lesbian flag colors tucked into it. She’s wearing an orange bliaut with purple lining and gold trim over a pink underdress. In the center, there is a tan man with long, wavy grey hair and a beard, holding up a large progress pride flag on a gold flagpole. He has a chain of gold with rainbow leaves in his hair, and he’s wearing a long teal tunic with purple and blue sleeves and a rainbow inset at the chest. Next to him is a brown nonbinary person with medium brown curly hair, smiling with one hand on their hip. They’re wearing a chaperon in the nonbinary flag colors over a purple belted tunic, grey hose, and brown boots. To their left, a woman is throwing up a peace sign, wearing a bi flag cloak and a pale green dress with a leafy belt. Her hair is braided and has flowers in the bi flag colors tucked into it. There’s a white dog on the grass in front of the people, wearing a rainbow jester collar, and there’s a pigeon flying above everyone with a trans flag ribbon in its beak. There’s a rainbow in the background. The border is filled with scrollwork and flowers in the colors of various pride flags, as well as two smiling rainbow dragons with trans pride wings facing each other at the bottom, and a smiling frog to either side.

happy pride month!
Digitally illustrated graphic with big, bold, black text in the center reading "trans lives are more important than harry potter". Two cats with alternating colours of the trans flag lay above the top left and bottom right of the text, turning it pink & blue where they cross over.
