scrapped painting,, thought i might as well post it

basically, i wanted to show an aroace person — an old aroace person, to be precise. being aroace myself, i am always told that i will forever be lonely and miserable if i don't get a partner. so showing grace, who is aroace to me, as old and happy and fulfilled and oh so loved by his best friend, was really important to me <3

once again these are all from like the same two canvas files in procreate judging from the same color background. also straight up had a dream where grace and rocky figured out how to make gnocchi out of taumoeba hence the making gnocchi over a bunsen burner

Give him a solo dc

i know we just met but i’ve been thinking about you my whole life

Prints and more paleomerch

Technically, the list I used for Inktober today by sparrouu-bird is supposed to be for OCs, but I just felt like sketching Dick (with full hair). The prompt was “bruised,” so this is Dick moments after a hard-fought battle.

people who are aroace: have you seen project hail mary

I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.

Rocky's POV

OH GOD. 

Thanks for the reminder Ryan Coogler
