here's my initial sketch idea for the tattoo, and @sseances.bsky.social's finished drawing with the lighthouse. we ended up going for the version without the lighthouse bc i felt like it was a stronger piece that way. might just have to get a lighthouse some other time :3

Self-portrait of the artist screaming. They are a white person with shoulder-length brown hair. They've got one hand around their neck. The background is red and black. Around the top and bottom are white thorns curling around each other. Drawing of Florence Welch. She is a white woman with long, red hair. She is pictured from the thigh up, looking up, her arms out, hands with their palms up. She is wearing a see-through, sparkly dress with long sleeves. Illustration of a brown-skinned man with short, dark curly hair. He is wearing a black outfit with gold embellishments. He is drawn in profile and has a neutral expression. With his right hand he is holding a white mouse by the tail, dangling it above his outstretched left hand. Behind the mouse is a golden halo. White whisps of smoke are coming from the halo, stretching across the right side of the drawing. The background is teal with decorative pillars. Sketchbook page with a turnip, a fish, some eyes and the lyrics "I listen to music from 2006 and feel kind of sick" drawn in it.

y'know i kinda popped off with my art in 2020. some of my favourite pieces are from that year. i guess being locked up in your own home makes you do good art??
Digital fanart of Doctor Who. The TARDIS lies on its side in little Amelia's garden, golden smoke emanating from it. Amelia is walking towards it, a path of flowers leading her towards the box. Fanart of Bill Potts from Doctor Who. She is holding a lesbian flag behind her and has a happy expression on her face. She's wearing a denim jacket with all sorts of feminist/gay patches and pins on it. The background is dark blue with stars. Digital illustration of a girl on a bike. She is standing with one of her feet on the ground with her back to the viewer. In front of her is a small wooden bridge and beyond that a forest. In front of the bridge is a sign that says, "The end of love". Page of a Doctor Who fan comic, with two panels. The panel at the top shows the Fugitive Doctor standing in front of the Thirteenth Doctor, her arms outspread. The Thirteenth Doctor looks concerned, as golden light swirls around them. The Fugitive Doctor says, "And this..." The second, larger panel shows a lighthouse, from which the light streams like shreds of fabric. Inside these beams we can see alien landscapes. The Fugitive Doctor continues, "...is my TARDIS."
