The Steven Universe zine I contributed to just dropped! If you want to support me and my work, as well as the work of a bunch of other super cool artists, please check it out! :O I had so much fun on my piece!

and it’s like… zero acknowledgement of sag

or how you can be fat and have small boobs/ass/thighs/hips

no thick neck along with the double chin

no fat rolls

all fat people are also drawn to have looooong legs as if to apologize for the rest of the proportions

i look at a “fat” character and what i see is just a skinny character with weight added on, even though that’s not how that works

and it’s just very clear to me that some artists want credit for “diversity” but don’t want to actually look at fat bodies. they apologize with hyper feminine outfits or the implication that the fat character is athletic or something. the fat character still has the perfect figure because “well, some fat people DO still have curves like that!”

we’re thicc and thick and “chubby” and plus size.

Here’s a link to the tweet.

Too many people base their understanding of fat bodies on plus size models, who are photoshopped, molded with cut outs, and chosen specifically because of how they still fit conventional beauty standards. They are not indicative of how most fat bodies look.

Please take the time to look at fat bodies that aren’t marketable and appreciate them for their own worth, beauty, and fortitude. Do not let fat bodies be alien to you, do not otherize us. This should be normalized.

Fat people deserve art and media that reflect fat bodies honestly. Seeing plus size models as our only rep only ends up setting out a new, impossible goal for fat people. We’re made to feel that we aren’t fat in the right way. It sends the message that you can fail at being skinny AND fail at being fat, which is an awful thing to do. No body is a bad body. All bodies deserve to be seen and to see themselves.

Hello! I'm Noah and I am currently a full-time artist! I'm only able to take a few months off from my regular barista gig to focus on art, and I'd really like to be pulling more commissions during this time!

The queue on the new art blog is locked and loaded and ready to go!

@everycaptain

Opening up once again for $15/hour commissions! I will take general direction, characters, poses, ect, all the usual things you would ask for in a commission. And I will work on the commission for however long as you’ve paid me for!

1 Hour - $15 2 Hour - $30 3 Hour - $40 I do not go over 3 hours at this time.

You can commission whatever you’d like, but below are some guidelines to get the most out of the time you’re paying for, and know what to expect from the time allotted! 

1 Hour - Single character sketched, shaded, highlighted, and coloured or two characters sketched and shaded. Good for “wing it” style in which you give me a character and I draw them how I see fit. 2 Hour - Single character lined, shaded, and highlighted with simple background, or two (simple) characters lined, coloured, and simply shaded, or multiple characters sketched with a background. Also appropriate for a sketch page. 3 Hour - Single character with great detail, lined, shaded, and highlighted with background, or two characters lined, coloured, and simply shaded with background, or several characters sketched and coloured. Great for a sketch page.
