I love drawing tieflings and have since I learned about them back in the 90s via Planscpaes. I'm excited that WOTC is bringing the setting back!

This girl went to her first pride celebration today! It was a lot of fun and it's nice to remember I'm not, in any sense, alone. There's SO many of us, like, *right* here. Got to hang with two lady pals and soak in all the queer energy.

Also?? I need to worry a LOT less about my presentation, shit

We've been plural and masked it forever, but until a couple of years ago didn't have the language to allow ourselves to accept the reality of it all.

It seems *very* silly now, cause of course we were, what did we really think was going on??

Here's a cute selfie of Andi.

It's #portfolioday ??

Ok!
Here's four commissions as an example of my style.

Hi, I'm Kate. I draw portraits, creatures and people in fantasy and sci-fi settings, and pin-up girls.
A drawing of a tall white woman with curly brown hair and glasses wearing a leather miniskirt, over-bust corset and black boots, leaning against a shelf in a grocery store while holding a basket full of pizzas A drawing of a blue bunnygirl with long red hair, wearing a short white dress and heels, holding a parasol, standing against a blurry background of a house and tree. A drawing of a man with a shock of white hair and black eyebrows standing in full plate rainbow glitter armor while holding a shield emblazoned with a seahorse. He holds a sword with the tip at his feet. A drawing of a strong brown-haired woman wearing a long purple dress and knee-high strappy brown sandals holding a sickle in her right hand, her left hand is held in the air encouraging a large ladybug to land. A kite (the bird) flies in the distance. She has potatoe flowers strung on her belt. She is standing on a cobblestone path with Greek type buildings in the background.
