Lancelot Du Lac

I wanted to draw Vampire Soma with a long braid again. Now in a fun band t-shirt!

Loki Sleeping With a Companion

Apologies for not posting in forever! I forgot this blog existed. 😅

I’m moving my personal side blog here now, mostly because I wanted to follow and reply to people from a blog that wasn’t an abandoned RP blog. But hopefully I’ll be throwing more here soon.

Cat Burglar Nami

I hadn’t really done a fully fleshed out drawing of any One Piece characters despite really loving the series, and Nami seemed like she would be fun!

“I still desperately cling to the headcanon that Soma Cruz is Mexican, so I made this.”

I wish my first contribution to this fandom was some of my own art and not a recolor, but alas. All I have hidden in my folders apart from this are half-hearted doodles I won’t be posting anytime soon. 😓

But that aside, I’m pretty happy with this! And before anyone @s me. I know Soma is Japanese, that the exchange student thing was added to the English localization to make him more relatable to an American audience. But…I dunno, y’all. I still find my little rationalizations for it. He could easily have one Mexican parent and one Japanese. And the thought of him being Mexican like me just helped to further endear him to me, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that.

I know it’s not many people that have reblogged my thing of Soma, but all the positive comments and responses so far legitimately made me cry. Thank y’all so much. Especially my other Latines.

Where’s your heart now?

Goro as he appears in a fic I’ll probably never write. Basically him going on his own Fool’s Journey and having to navigate his way through Labyrinths rather than Palaces. There’s no way for me to get into all the other cool stuff involved, especially the Norse mythological jazz, in a concise way. So I’ll have to share those ideas another day.

I want more art of Soma when he’s older. I want more art of Soma being Mexican. I want more Mexican vampires in general. But I am lacking in mental fortitude and talent, so here’s all three of those things blended together, rendered with all my love and the last of my dwindling creative energy, for y’all’s viewing pleasure.

I’ve always liked Pop Art, and my professors have encouraged me to play around with other artist’s styles. Not just to imitate them or anything like that, but to teach myself new things, so I gave it a shot. It was a pretty fun exercise, and I’ll have to try this again sometime.
