Water colour painting of a character shown waist up. He has light skin, brown hair, is wearing a rounc red cap with black embroidery on the sides and a white shirt with poofy long sleeves with a black and red vest over it. Over his right shoulder he is holding a distaff, while his face is slightly raised and looking down at the viewer. The head is tilted towards the right side of the picture, showing his right eye more, which appears to be glowing in green, while his other eye is just brown. He seems peaceful and ethereal, but in a way that suggests possible danger to the viewer. The character is in darkness, with the pale orange halo behind his head casting light from behind him, making interesting light and shade on his body and face. The halo has a shiny white line going around it, shaped like traditional embroidery from Dalmatia. The signature in the lower left corner says "Снежна Авис, Snowy Avis, Maj. 2024" A water colour painting of a rocky mountainous landscape with grass and low conifers growing. The weather is nice, but the landscape looks lonely. There is a man wearing a long black coat covering his whole body except the head standing on a path on the left side of the painting, and he is viewing the scenery on the right. There are two goats around him, one walking a bit in front and one walking behind the man. There's a signature in the lower right corner saying "Снежна Авис, Snowy Avis, Feb. 2024" A digital painting of two people, one embracing the other from behind and looking at the other one, and the other one looking back up. The character on the left, who is being embraced, has light skin, chin length light brown hair, and is wearing a long sleeved white shirt, a black vest with red and gold embroidery, a red belt, black pants and a Lika cap - a cylindrical cap with black sides and red top and a black tassel that falls over his shoulder. He also has the bi pride flag drawn on his cheek and is seen from the profile view. The character on the right, who is embracing the other one, has light skin, long brown hair and brown heard, is wearing a black hat with wide brim, a white shirt and a sleeveless yellow jacket. He has a pansexual pride flag drawin on his cheek. They seem to be a very loving couple. The background is in shades of the bisexual pride flag - blue, violet, pink. The signature in lower left corner says "SnowyAvis, sep. 2023". Rice water colour paintings showing chili characters in five different Serbian folk clothing types and each carrying one of the pride flags: the rainbow, the lesbian, the bisexual and the pansexual flag.

I occasionally want to post Balkan culture inspired works on Reddit, but the subreddits my work is relevant to (Balkan stuff subs) would implode from homophobia at the sight of my works, and the subreddits that would be fine with my works (queer subs) don't give a shit about Balkan culture

Dalmatian Serb shepherd X Adriatic Afro-Albanian fisherman 🐐💖🐟
Digital painting, showing two characters in a loving embrace. The character on the left is Jandrija, he has light skin, short straight brown hair, and is wearing Dalmatian folk clothing that consist of a white shirt, a black vest with red embroidery, and a cylindrical red cap with swirly black embroidery on the sides and long black tassels in the back. The character on the right is Hajro, he has dark skin, short curly black hair with longer twists in the back and black eyes, and is wearing Ulcinj sailor clothing that consist of a wide white shirt, black pants, red belt and a red headband tied slightly left from the face, so the bow falls down on his shoulder. Hajro is bending down and smiling, while Jandrija is holding him on the neck and kissing his cheek. They are both in the darkness, with light coming from the background, as if standing in front of a window. The edges of the illustration are a repeating triangular pattern. The signature says "SnowyAvis, jan.2026"

Happy #BiVisibilityDay from my favourite bisexuals, Hajro and Jandrija 🩷💜💙
A digital painting of two characters, Hajro and Jandrija, in an embrace. Both characters are facing the viewer, but Hajro is hugging Jandrija from the side, holding his right arm around Jandrija's shoulders and his left hand on Jandrija's head. Jandrija has light skin, short messy brown-reddish hair, his right eye is green and his left eye is brown, and he has a scar under his right eye and across the lips. He is wearing a white shirt and a black and red vest. He is grinning towards the viewer, but looks kind of awkward. Hajro is a lot taller than Jandrija, has dark skin, brown eyes, a scar over his nose, coily black hair and is wearing a red ribbon around his forehead. He is wearing a wide, goofy, white shirt. He is winking and has a very gentle smile on his face. Above their heads is a heart in the colours of the bisexual flag - pink, purple and blue. The atmosphere of the painting is pink and blue as well. The signature says "Snowy Avis, sep. 2025"

01: There is a woman facing you with a confident expression. She has blond hair, messy twin pigtails, a small angel wing coming off the right side of her head, and a devil horn coming off the left. She has a big angel wing coming off the left side of her back, and a devil wing coming off the right. Her right eye is teal and has an 'X' pattern on the pupil, whereas her right eye is indigo and has a circle pattern on the pupil. She wears a pink neckerchief, and a tight sleeveless top that's blue on the top half and dark purple on the bottom. She also has disconnected sleeves, so her shoulders are still visible. She says "HEY!! It's ME, you're OLD OC. Haven't drawn ME in a while, HAVE YA'?" 02: She puts up her hands in front of her, as if you say 'stop it'. She has big, robotic hands. She says "No no, IT'S OKAY! Let's be real, my design is pretty amateurish HAHA" 03: She turns a bit to the side, and adopts a more sympathetic expression, but keeps looking you in the eyes. She says "But I want you to know that I've been there all this time. I've watched you grow. And you've grown SO much." 04: Closeup of her face as her confident expression returns. She tilts her head and gives you a wink. "Proud of ya', kid."
