A comic of L Lawliet and Light Yagami from Death Note circa the Yotsuba arc era. Panel 1: they are kissing, Light is pushing L onto a vague bed or something. Panel 2: Light's hand on L's chest. Panel 3: L on the bed with his hair pushed back, you can see that he has really thick eyebrows. He says: are you going to kiss me Light? Panel 4: Light is looking down at him shocked. He thinks: his fucking eyebrows are huge. Panel 5: the two of them are back at work, L is looking at a computer with Nyan cat on the screen saying "hey Light, come check this shit out". Light is still thinking about the eyebrows.

the dark knight

#art
a personal depiction of batman, illustrating his costume more as knight armour. his cape melds into smoke and blue flames and he wields a flail and lantern in the shape of a skull. behind him is a gothic depiction of gotham's architecture, fading into the background. next to batman, are three portraits of cassandra cain as batgirl, jason todd as red hood and tim drake as robin.

Hello #bluepit💥 ! Shadow Play is a YA horror graphic novel I’m currently pitching:

Following a tragedy, a 13-year-old girl must confront an inner demon of her own making or risk losing her friends–and her own body–to the phantom she manifests.

📩 Full pitch: clamors.evan@gmail.com

#Q #H #PN #LGBT
Shadow Play splash image: a clown doll leans against a broken picture frame containing an image of our protagonist Claire and her friends Elliot (left) and Valerie (right). Sample spread of pages from Shadow Play. Claire hears clinking coming from inside her closet; the closet then opens up from the inside revealing tiny doll hands as Claire runs away screaming. Sample spread from Shadow Play. Claire runs away from the doll and locks herself in the bathroom. The bathroom door bangs as the doll speaks to her from outside. Sample spread from Shadow Play. The doll continues taunting her as the page fades to black. Claire wakes up the next morning and sees the doll sitting in her closet as it normally would.

Submitting my pitch, Study Buddies, for #bluepit💥
When 16 year old Ari Helios comes out as a transgender boy, he becomes wrapped up in a slow burn romance with the closeted student council president who is assigned to tutor him.
I am looking for an agent at the moment!
#YA #R #LGBT #TR #Q
Cover of Study Buddies by Angus Nicklaus, with the protagonist, Ari, sitting on a desk smiling and looking at the viewer. On the left side, there is an overview of the story. Logline: When 16 year old Ari Helios comes out as a transgender boy, he becomes wrapped up in a slow burn romance with the closeted student council president who is assigned to tutor him. Genre: Romance, Drama, Comedy. Comparable Titles: Heartstopper, Monthly Girl's Nozaki Kun, I Think Our Son is Gay. Length: 250 page graphic novel. Themes: Queer romance, friendship, self discovery. Page 5 and 6 of Study Buddies. This is a double page spread containing 8 panels in which the rumor of Ari being a trans boy is being spread across the school. The Mars symbol is used instead of words to represent the rumor. Pages 7 and 8 of Study Buddies. In Page 7, we see two students smoking in the teacher's lounge and discussing who in class they think is gay. One of them mentions class president Cyrus Bellamy, right before Cyrus enters the room to ask what they are doing. One of the students asks if he is gay. In Page 8, Cyrus is mentally trying to find a way out of the situation, surprised that the student guessed correctly that he is gay. He lies unconvincingly that he likes a girl, and the students ask who the girl is. Pages 9 and 10 of Study Buddies. In Page 9, Cyrus is panicking that he didn't think of a girl to pretend to like, and decides to pick the weird girl from his class. He says that he likes Ari, and at the same moment a student from the page 6 rumor montage enters the room and tells everyone that Ari now identifies as a boy. Cyrus is defeated. In Page 10, we are in the classroom before the bell rings. Cyrus is still feeling shocked. Ari stands in front of the class and tells everyone that he is a boy now, and the whole class responds: "we know."

Since DC isn't doing a Nightwing pride variant this year I did my own! 💙🖤
Nightwing in his finger stripe suit, jumping up in the air holding a rainbow flag. The sun is shining through the flag and illuminating the shiny parts of his suit in rainbow colors. The DC logo and Nightwing logo are added on to make it look like a real comic cover (it is not one. Lol)

Closeup and a detailed explanation about the piece as usual🌹
Closeup of the piece quoted. The zoom focuses on the pair kissing. Midsummer spells as I am Finnish with no deep knowledge of Nordic paganism other than traditions I’ve grown up with, so I can’t say broad statements of midsummer spells (I know other countries have them too, but I’m only talking of mine own lived experience here!). These spells are supposed to be done during the night of midsummer eve – often naked and often with intention of finding answers in amorous matters. The spell Wreg has performed here is a very famous one: pick 7 different flowers from 7 different meadows, put them under your pillow and you’ll see a dream of your spouse-to-be. But why these specific flowers? In Wreg’s hair are red clover and sneezewort, which symbolize luck and courage. In his hand is yellow toadflax and blindeyes symbolizing joy, vitality, and dreams. The ginger knight, who is an unknown man shrouded by his visor and armour is holding oxeye daisy for purity of heart and innocence. With it are paired two flowers well-known for their tie with death: tansy and blue cornflower – other used as a burial flower to repel smells and other things, and other as a memorial flower for fallen. So what does this all mean? Wreg is a hopeless romantic of a man, who might not believe in spells but still performed one on midsummer eve hoping to see if there is someone for him waiting to love and cherish him. What he doesn’t realize in his overwhelming joy is that his dream depicts a man long gone. He was a knight, who unfortunately fell in battle. Other possibility is that he wished so ardently to see a man of his dreams, that he conjured someone who seems to share similarities with a knight he used to have a crush on as a young man (he really did have an awakening while watching a particular ginger knight jousting). For personal note; I enjoy still life symbolism a lot, which was an inspiration here. I’m also currently reading through Whose Middle Ages? (2019), where I thought Bleeke’s analysis on knights, armor, and masculinity was an eye-opener and has stuck to me.
