Finally settled on a concept sketch for a new Bunwells print. Been working on other merch ideas behind the scenes, but it's going to be a while before I've got time to render those given the comms list ><;;

I did my first #remisa commission this week! <333
#deathnote #misaamane
A scene from a Misa Amane x Rem (the shinigami) fic, where Misa gently grasps Rem's monstrous hand, staring up at her affectionately, while the shinigami gazes down in quiet awe. They both wear the residue of inky water and semi-dyed rose petals, and Rem's head tentacles hold an entire rose, which flew there when the vase broke over her back. They are in front of Misa's apartment window, morning light hitting them from behind, as a group of crows take flight in the distance. The image is framed by baroque curtains at the top and sides, and a close up of the inky red roses at the bottom.

It's my birthday in a few hours, so I'd like to spread my Bunwells merch around to celebrate! The paperdoll book is still one of my favourite things I've made, I love being able to hold it in my hands and feel the nostalgically waxy cover. (TuT) And the self-care sticker series too~ <3
The cover of the "Let's dress up! with Lilith Bunwell" paperdoll book, featuring Lilith posing in a matching plum underwear set, surrounded by three outfits rendered small: her principal ensemble, jade leopard print robe and "aces wild" waistcoat and pinstripe outfit. The rear cover of the paperdoll book, featuring all six outfits, the Bunwells logo and creator credits. The third sheet in the Selfcare Sticker Set series. On the left, Mary Bunwell places a flourishing pot plant at the top of a wrought-iron display column, upon which two other potplants and one padded vanity case each have a shelf. She is stretching up, so that her soft purple pullover raises up at her stomach, showing the waistlband of her slate-grey pencil skirt. Her hair is bountifully bound up in a loose bun and she smiles up at the new plant. The sticker text reads: "Plants make a house a habitat". On the right, Lilith Bunwell is wearing a dapper outfit of greens, brown and black, with gold touches. A ruched corset top is paired with leather leggings, a froufrou half-skirt fastened at her waist by a broad leather belt and ornate gold buckle. She also wears a black and gold matador jacket. Her arms are raised up, lifting her hair from behind as she observes herself in a mirror with satisfaction. Her text reads: "I don't need a special occasion to get fancy!"

Pride comm of Laura DeMille and Shelley Byron from Doom Patrol!

#commissionsopen
In early 1900s garb in tones of cream and brown, Laura and Shelley are posed affectionately, Laura sitting on a raised surface, her knees twisted to the side of Shelley and her side flush with Shelley's front. Laura's one hand is low on Shelley's hip and the other clasps a rose between her fingers, as that hand rests on Shelley's shoulder. Shelley holds Laura gently at the shoulder with one hand, while her other playfully boops her nose, while Laura gazes at her, slightly cross-eyed and ever so trusting.

Cartoony pride commission for @darlingdeeceased.bsky.social!

(Comms very much open, situation not untirely un-urgent)
A muscular, buxom OC dressed in a dapper three piece outfit of grey, black and green, clutches a gloved hand to their chest, where a symbolic arrow of green and purple has pierced their heart. Though their expression is highly anxious, they are surrounded by blooming hearts. In a misty space above them, Doctor Who's Missy stands in three coquettish poses, her face evocative of 90s anime femme fatales.

Here's the original art (done for the @teezr.bsky.social pride event), with my usual shading!

I've been thinking of beginner artist struggles and pillow-shading came to mind, so I decided to make this little guide...

All done and submitted!! The devs choose the top-ten and the SGmobile community select the final 3, so I'm not exactly hopeful (one references is older than most server citizens, for one thing), but wanted to give it a go regardless!

@sgmobile.bsky.social is holding a Pride palette contest (divided into edited sprite and original drawn sprite) and I just finished colour blocking sketches. While I had a ton of ideas, in the end lesbian nostalgia won out in 2/3 of my allotted entries, shocking no one.

Sketches of Marie, Parasoul and Annie of Skullgirls, recoloured to resemble Anthy Himemiya, Utena Tenjou and Kim Kitsuragi.

Rules: Payment is through Paypal or Snapscan (you can pay with your card using their gateway). Character interactions can be cheeky but not NSFW. (They don't have to be love-y interactions, your ship's flavour is yours to define, just nothing abusive please.) Note: pride flags can be integrated on request!

[A drawing of Marzipan from IWATEEX and Nanami from Utena] text: You can have a more sort of anime-ish style like this, or... [Continuing the gag, some letters are highlighted in red, to spell out HORROR] [A drawing of Minette and Nadia from Skullgirls, in a Disco Elysium crossover, which is more stylistically complex] Text: ...something more like this. (but without such a fancy bg lol) [letters are highlighted red to spell SIN]

Pride month couple commissions at only 35usd, come grab your dear blorbos as a treat in these trying times.
🧵
A drawing of Nadia and Minette from Skullgirls, as the Chucky and Tiffany dolls from Child's Play 2. The style is reasonably detailed yet cartoony, with textured shading and a black background with red paint splatters. The text says "PRIDE MONTH COUPLE COMMISSIONS", where the middle of 'pride month' is highlighted red to spell out DEMON, in reference to the meme where conservatives see Pride Month as part of a secret satanic agenda on the part of queer people, to topple society. This gag continues throughout the images of the commission post. Overlaying the darkened drawing of Nadia and Minette, is text: For 35usd, you will receive: A single couple interaction in toony or chibi style, with a simple textured background, as a 300dpi png/jpg. Valid for the duration of Pride Month. [Letters are highlighted in red to spell out 'evil', 'cursing' and 'demon'. Suggesting that that is where the 35usd will go, when in fact it will go towards Ro's business and general life maintenance in this very stormy weather]

Mary Wardwell sitting against a large tree in the New England woods, with her beskirted legs folded to one side, and a certain screech owl resting in her lap. Her glasses are tucked into the neck of her shirt and she leans back her head, taking a break from her book to enjoy the peace of the forest. Her resting face looks a bit severe/ cross, but that's just how it is with features like hers.
