a simple comic-style illustration of two characters beside a doorway. the character on the left is a woman with long dark curls and warm brown skin while the character on the right is a slightly taller man with short dark curls and medium olive skin. she's grabbing his coat and glaring straight into his eyes while he gazes back, amused.

a simple illustration of a pre-op transgender man with short red hair gesturing towards his torso. he is wearing brown pants with suspenders hanging down the sides. at the top is a tiktok-style caption that says "getting jacked instead of getting top surgery", which is a reference to an existing tiktok. the quoted tweet is part of a chain of drawings in the same meme format. a detailed digital painting of two characters kissing, both with dark hair and warm medium tone skin, the character on the left sitting positioned slightly above the character on the right. they both appear to be in regal uniform. the first character has long hair and is wearing an ornate gold crown as well as differently-shaded golden clothes. the second character has a light stubble, medium length-hair, is wearing a high collared top with ornate detailing, as well as a gold accessory wrapped around the shell of his ear. the background is a muted shade of purple, and they are bathed in a warm light. a detailed digital painting of peter pevensie and prince caspian from the chronicles of narnia: prince caspian (2008) standing face to face with their swords crossed dramatically. they are colored in cyan and magenta hues.

do u get it now #caspeter #narnia
a simple illustration of prince caspian and peter pevensie from the chronicles of narnia: prince caspian (2008) standing face to face with their swords crossed dramatically. the caption reads: "what people think caspeter is like:" and below are speech bubbles. peter says "you called us, remember?" and caspian says "my first mistake." at the bottom, a paranthetical says "eyefucking intensifies". in the style of the last illustration, caspian and peter are facing each other with calmer poses and expressions. the caption says "what peter is actually like:" peter says "narnia's future is in your hands." and caspian says "what about your future? sad emoticon"

tcon pc costume design was on another level
a screenshot of peter pevensie from the chronicles of narnia: prince caspian (2008) directed by andrew adamson. he is wearing a slate blue tunic with a deep V-neck to the waist and panels below the waist that looks like a short skirt, sleeves tight from wrist to elbow, then upper arm sleeves puffy and slashed widely to show the lighter blue shirt underneath.

transubstantiation
a detailed digital painting inspired by william-adolphe bouguereau's dante and virgil in hell. the scene is tinted in red-purple hues. one of the main figures is replaced by a dark and long-haired middle-aged man wearing medieval clothes paired with leather arm bracers. he has his back turned to the viewer, but his head is thrown back to show an agonized expression on his face. a wolf, also replacing one of the main figures from the painting, is hunched over him while biting at his throat, its teeth piercing the sides of his neck as trails of blood trickle down from them. the background of the painting contains splotches of red in the same shade as the wolf's eye and the man's blood.

[OC ART] summer tradition
a detailed digital painting of two characters kissing. the lighting of the scene is tinted in orange as if they are in front of a fire. the character on the left is a trans woman who has long, wavy brown hair and is wearing a flowy pink dress with simple patterned trims. on the right is a trans man who has short red hair wearing a white puffy long sleeved shirt under a blue jerkin. she is sitting on top of him while he leans against a tree trunk, his hand splayed on her stomach with one finger tucked under her braided belt. the background is populated by dark trees, as if they are in a forest at night. both characters appear to have smeared ash all over each other.
