Awe of an Unexpected Meeting Within the Roiling Waves
Whoooo!! It’s finished! I’ve wanted to paint another canvas to display for a while, so I took the opportunity to do one of my two mascots.
This painting took me around a week to finish everything, so I gave it a nice long title. probably took so long because of all the layering I did on top of everything, thank GOD for acrylics.
Here’s a timelapse of the daily progress I made, those figures fought me at every turn till I finished ‘em.
Been working on designing a shops branding from the ground up for almost a year (wow). It’s not the most exciting thing to talk about, but I’m really proud of what I’ve been doing!!!
Communicating with all of artists took a months as everyone in the shop cooperative had to agree, but I got it done in the end. I’m sure I’ll have more to do soon though…
Here’s the boy! A-Spectrum Cleric Wolf is here to support you all!!
Making these aspec pride wolves is always a joy and challenge >-<. Deciding to only use the flags colours for this year’s really was a choice.. got me to try some new shading and colouring methods tho.
This guy’s available on a hoodie if that’s your thing -> firbetshop.com
Fruity Dinos for a pattern I’ll make at some point. They’re so cute!!!
Went a bit of a roundabout way of drawing these. First I drew them with promarkers in my sketchbook, and then redrew them digitally to clean the lines up.
The illustrated cover I drew up for @aspecjournal that I’m so proud of! It’s up for preorders right now till March 10th :D
It took so long to get all the colours right as I wanted to get as many aspec colours as I could into the piece. purple for ace // green for aro // yellow and blue for aroace // and black and white for aspec. Plus some red to represent the bonds of fate’s connection (being broken).
I illustrated Fenrir and his two sons Sköll and Hati from norse mythology. Fenrir has always hit something within me, with the theme of destroying the world to be released from bonds forced upon you, and having two children with no reference to another parent.
I’ve always enjoyed reinterpreting monsters and villains stories into something positive, so it should be no surprise I read into his themes with a bit of a cathartic aspec lens.
Congrats Jaiden!! I’m so proud that she was able to come out publicly :0
And to anyone who found out about Aros and Aces through her video, Welcome!
The a-spectrum has been pretty looked over for a long time with many not even knowing we exist. It’s a very common story for aspecs, even I only discovered the identity a few years ago!
I’m so glad such a large youtuber (and one of my favourites) has been public with their aspec identity. Hopefully this will lead to many more aspecs discovering a refuge in this community. I mean the aromantic tag was in the top 5 for a while, everyone say thank you to Jaiden :P
The aspec community is here to welcome anyone who needs a refuge, even if you do find a different label later down the line.
There’s lots to discover and learn in this community so if you’re interested have a look around and learn something new :D
Recipro Wolf for Recipromantics and Reciprosexuals.
They’ve got a big hammer for the Reciprosexuals and some gauntlets for Recipromantics. This guy is pretty great with their weapons, they don’t look likely to use them though…
The colours where so fun to balance, such pastel tones work really well together :0
Got a big project idea for pride this year so here’s a big masterpost to help you navigate it if you get lost. I’m posting one wolf a day so be sure to check back sometime.
They’ll be in a bit of a weird order but you will probably get why after the second goes up ;)
Based all my wolves off sci-fantasy concept for a bit of fun. Sure it doesn’t make sense that these wolves could use these weapons, but it sure looks cool so don’t worry about it. Have fun!
Painted a little dice dragon I bought from dragonsandbeasties a while back. Been a big fan of their work for years so it’s nice to finally be able to buy one of their figures (;
Yo! my name’s Bethany and I’m a freelance illustrator right now.
I use both traditional acrylic
paintings and digital illustration for my artwork sometimes mixing ‘em. I’m a pretty varied artist so don’t be surprised if I post something completely random I’ve done.
I identity as Aromantic, Asexual, and Agender with she/her or they/them pronouns.
I only upload my finished artwork here, check out my instagram for WIP posts if you’re interested in that.
Printed up my artwork for last years pride month of my Acearo Wolves. They’re high quality A4 prints without a boarder as I didn’t want to go too big with them.
Pride month is coming up again and I’m pretty excited :)))))
Finished a painting I sketched out a while ago. Tried to paint much looser than I usually do so I didn’t sketch out exactly. Instead I sketched out in paint as I went along, pretty nice to just paint something random for a bit.
A canvas board painting I did a while ago which I never took good photos of. I’ve improved a lot from when I painted this but I want to post it for cataloging sake.
I still like the background I did on this painting. I did a real good job of keeping all the colours real sharp.
