let them see you bleed

digital illustration in muted, dark colors of a thin and pale original character with long poofy green hair and bangs. They have pointed ears and are wearing gold earings, a collared shirt and a vest. They are holding a dagger to the side of their nose with thin trails of blood falling down their face from the point of the knife. their eyes are a shiny gold, and the background is dark with barely visible butterfly wings

the jester in the maze
An illustration of a man in a tattered jester's outfit reaching down creepily towards the viewer. His hat is shredded and he is obscured in a dark shadow. Around him are brick walls and a frame that features black tentacle-like creatures with multiple eyes. The primary colors used are green and pink.

cw: artistic nudity
sketch page of three subjects in red pencil. the top left is a nude woman on her knees arching her back with her hands over her head. on the right is a muscled man wearing boxers standing on one leg with his arms crossed, his face is a :3. on the bottom is a more abstract profile of a vampire; it is conventionally attractive but the proportions are off so it feels uncanny sketch page with blue pencil and black ink. there are 3 figure drawings. the top sketch is two figures with one kneeling over the other with their hands woven together. the bottom left is a nude fat person with shaven hair and one of their arms raised and the other on their hip. the middle is a woman laying on her stomach with her legs crossed behind her and her chin resting on her hands. the bottom right is a small collection of ink doodles with eyes, hair, hearts, and crosshatching.

under the dark desert sun
An illustration of two figures standing in front of a desert landscape. On the left is a much shorter and heavier-set man, with long blonde hair, elf ears, and a bone mask on his face. He is wearing ragged armor and a cape. On the right, a much taller man is fully concealed in shadow, wearing a wide ripped hat, a cloak over his body, and a mask covering his entire face. In the distance, an ominous black mass is floating in the sky. The image is bordered with an embossed, organic looking pattern.

unbridled joy is stored in drawing the queer body, the disabled body, the fat body, the body in all its colors, its curves and its angles and its insides in states of undress, of action, of desire. freedom is in the drawn figure. love, love, love to the body in all of its fictional iterations.
