Hello! Sounds like an exciting project, haven't tried art nouveau in a while, but I love trying different historical periods.

She has a mediterranean complexion, black hair in a braid, brown eyes and wears a blue, white and silver linothorax with a bullhead in the breastplate.

Hello and thank you for organizing this! I've made Soft and a few other sapphic comics.

Silent comic page - Dani is running in the park, earphones on, when she hears a bark and notices a golden retriever running beside her.

Silent comic page - Dani stops and notices someone running after the dog, Charlie catchs up to them breathless. When they face each other properly they have a moment and a crush is born. Good boy Seb winks feeling his work is done.

Moving here is making me go down memory lane for the second time this year, so here's some more oldies.

#criticalrole #mightynein #yashanydoorin #beauregardlionett #jesterlavorre #caduceusclay #art

Mighty Nein fanart. A close up of a confused Beau holding Frumpkin in the form of tiny owl, against a blue sky and white clouds background.

Caduceus colored in all pink and Jester in all blue help a non-colored beaten up Beau to walk, while healing her. The energy coming from their hands is shown in their respective colours.

A close up of Beau holding back tears while her little brother, Thoreau, holds her face with curiosity. Their father's living room serves as a monochromatic brownish background.

Yasha's face is surrounded by her wings, crowned with flowers and exuding light, so most of the picture is white and gold.

#art #thelockedtomb #griddlehark (I think half my locked tomb art is about the canon coffee shop AU lol)

Harrow and Gideon from Harrow the Ninth. They're dressed in 19th century-like navy uniforms in white and red, Gideon's trying to chat with Harrow while they walk down a black corridor with big windows showing space, in the back a white light marks it's all a fantasy.

Queen Hyppolite, from my first webcomic Amazonomachy, relaxing in a hot spring. Only her muscular upper body is out of the water and partially covered by steam and the shadows of plants. She has a two-horses tattoo in her back and several scars, including in her left eye. She has an undercut, dirty blonde hair and white bronzed skin. She's resting in the water's edge between a colunm and a horse fountain.

Beau from Critical Role giving an upkick in a shadowy figure that flies backwards. She holds a staff in her right hand and balances herself in the left, kicking with her right leg. She has light brown skin, brown hair and blue eyes, a tied undercut, a fighter build and wears mostly green and blue warrior monk clothes and piercings. They're in a cave.

Barbara and Etta from Wonder Woman in amazonian ruins in a wild world, with vulcans and pterodactyls flying in the background. They're in explorer gear, Barbara has a cane and Etta is holding a hunting knife. They're looking back, not seeing who are aiming at them with arrows from behind bushes.

Years ago when things went badly in my own country I made this comic based on a true story. I was seeking respite in my work and the wisdom of History. I thought I'd reshare now as a small contribution.

Maybe at some point I'll tell their story

#OCs #art #gl #butch

Looking at each other a blonde short haired woman in a smoking and, upside down, a brown haired woman in a wolf cut, leather jacket and dark clothes. They have a conductor baton and an electric guitar respectively. The background is maroon like a theater curtain with empty paper sheets scattered.

Lorelei Kaskel from 'A Dark and Drowning Tide' by Allison Saft. Loved this book, my brand of gothic for sure.
(Got sick and completely derailed my inktober but guess this works for Day 26/Dark Academia)

✨ If you see this, post your first comic vs. latest page. ✨
Be proud of your progress!

(Don't really have my first #comic page ever, but guess the first posted online works fine. And the very last I made is pretty much all black with a little text so picked last Soft's page instead)
