Starting the Dollcember art prompts. This one covers two prompts with my OCs: Reindeer (Valentina) and Santa (Elena). Valentina is loving the holiday look, but Elena is still warming up to the idea.

List: #Dollcember by @persimmonbunnie

This one’s for the girls who’d fight for each other with a sword in one hand and tenderness in the other. 🖤✨
Inspired by the idea that queerness has always existed,even in the stories we weren’t told.

No straight shots, only direct hits to the heart. 🎯🌈
Queer joy, tension, and tenderness—felt across a pool table.

In a time when belonging is questioned, we stand with pride. This land was shaped by many hands, many dreams, and many cultures.
We are not guests. We are the roots that helped it grow.

“Alicia en el País de las Maravillas”
After taking my time to bring this piece to life, I’m so excited to share my Mexican twist on ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ 🌟 The details, colors, and cultural elements made this journey worth every moment.

During a long flight back, I was able to finish another sketch, even with the turbulence. ✍🏼

I don’t know why the third one was very hard to get right.

Throwback to 2023, when I created one of my all-time favorite pieces. This vibrant celebration of Mexican heritage was inspired by an OLD CAZ lager beer called “La Chismosa”. 🌹 The bold reds and greens still resonate with me deeply. Let me know what you think!
