I am honoured to be a part of Dates 3 with "The Wind and the White Horse". It's a story of self-discovery and adventure, which begins near the end of Great Old Bulgaria. The amazing Sunmi created beautiful illustrations for it! Check out the Kickstarter and support us!
Speeding trains, galloping horses, long nights in the woods. All the trappings of adventure are waiting for you in the third volume of Dates! An Anthology of Queer Historical Fiction!
We Kickstarted Dates 1 in 2015, and Dates 2 in 2017, and now we’re back for round 3! With over fifty contributors and more rip-roarin’ adventure than ever before, Dates 3 is 300+ pages packed with comics, illustrations, and prose. All the stories feature queer characters living their lives to the fullest, and—best of all—there are no tragic endings.
Check out the Kickstarter page for more information and previews—and to learn about all the cool rewards you can get for supporting the campaign! We’ll also be posting more process work right here on our blog and our facebook page, and you can follow our twitter for daily previews and creator features. And even if you aren’t able to back the campaign, a reblog or share can make a real difference!
Are you ready? It’s time for an adventure.
Happy birthday to my sister, Gravity Falls style! Love you lots.
We’re past the halfway point for the GOTHIC TALES OF HAUNTED LOVE kickstarter! If you’re into gothic romance with positive representation, think about supporting! These are bookmarks 3 and 4 out of 6 bookmarks I’m designing for the kickstarter, featuring characters from the following comics which will appear within: L’Heure Verte - by Femi Sobowale and Caroline Dougherty Ladies of the Lake - by Sarah W. Searle Check out the first two here!
And Costis heard, as clearly as he'd heard the king speaking, another voice. It said, "Go to bed." Eugenides the man and Eugenides the God, an illustration of one of my favourite scenes from The King of Attolia! This was my gift for @etoilegarden for the @hamiathesgiftexchange!
Your Art Is So Gorgeous!! How long does it take you on average to do one piece? What medium do you use?
Wow, thank you so very, very much! It really means a lot to me that you say that.To be honest, that’s a hard question for me to answer. I usually draw four or five things at the same time, in little stretches every day. If I focus too much on one piece or try to finish it all in one go, it’ll turn out bad. It also depends on the complexity of the drawing, and if I’ve drawn similar subjects before. Maybe, for a full body piece without a background it’ll take me about a week, if I’m working one to two hours a day on it? ^^’ I’m rather slow.As for medium, I tend to draw digitally, solely on Paint Tool Sai. Sometimes I’ll sketch on paper first and then colour over it on the program, but that’s more of an exception. I should probably draw more traditionally.
About two years ago, @tosquinha drew my design of Glorfindel and I drew them a silly little Bilbo. It was one of my first art trades, and seeing the result made me so happy. I would constantly think about this perfect thing, and my days would be brighter. So, this is a little thanks to @tosquinha. Thank you!
What are some fun facts you're interested in learning about OCs you come across? For example, I'm always curious about what different characters like to eat!
