They're Here; They're Queer; And They're Ready To Fuck Shit Up.

A korean leaps into the air with a silver baseball bat held  in both hands over their shoulder. They're wearing a dark blue leather jacket with asymmetrical tails, a white shirt, and gray shorts. They have purple and white striped socks and black and white converse. A black backwards baseball keeps their spiky black hair in check. Their expression is angry and intense. A green bandana covers their mouth. They're lit from below by orange city lights, and from the left by a row of blue street lights, receding with the brick buildings into the distance. A city skyline stretches behind them beneath a sky that goes from orange at the bottom to dark blue at the top.

They're here; they're queer; and they're ready to fuck shit up.

Another oc, different story than dogslobber and different than Kira. The working title is Symbol. They're name is Ryder, alias Rookie. What are they fighting? Wait and see.

A Portrait Of A Dear Friend.

A portrait of a dear friend. 

Image ID: A dark skinned boy with bright red hair playing a bone flute. He wears a golden circlet with a braid pattern and matching gold bracelets. He has a green shirt with gold stitching on the sleeve ends and the collar. The stitches make x’s. A goldfinch covers his eyes. Two more fly around him. A full moon casts purple light in the background. A scattering of stars surround the moon. The sky transitions to purple at the top of the canvas to gold at the bottom.

Fun Background Experiment. Featuring Spooky Floating City.

Fun background experiment. Featuring spooky floating city.

Image Id: A woman with shoulder length black hair wearing a cream sundress with green ribbon waste band stands in a field of green grass. She has a cream hat with a green ribbon band. She holds the hats brim and looks up at a floating city. The bottom is made of three rings with blue fires on the bottom that get larger as they go up toward the city. The city is made of different sized towers covered with ivy with rounded or pointed tops. There’s a central tower with three rings around. Its top is an observatory dome. The city is purple, silver, and gray. Wispy clouds surround it.

We Love An Alien Ecosystem In This House. We Also Love Giving Deer Spine Spikes To Defend Against Big

We love an alien ecosystem in this house. We also love giving deer spine spikes to defend against big birds and making fungi trees will bioluminescent spore pods. Image Id under keep reading.

Image Id: An astronaut in a pale blue space suit sits beneath a dark green tree with heavily textured bark. At its base, same green shoots point up towards the astronaut and the branches which have glowing oblong blue pods at their tips. The astronaut has black boots, pants with pockets on inner and outer calf and thigh, and a gray belt with many pouches. Attached to the belt is a knife in a black sheath. She wears a gray oxygen tank like a backpack and  gray tube threads into a hole on the chest of her suit. Her helmet screws into her suit in a gray ring at the neck. It is stylized with an ear level blue circle that is surrounded by a gray ring with a stem that connects to a triangle at the based of the helmet. There’s a blue patch on her shoulder. Brown hair frames her smiling face, eyes wide with delight and wonder. She reaches with a black glove with gray bending fingers and a blue stripe across the back towards blue floating glowing spores. The background is a field of red grass beneath a dark blue sky with a flush of yellow at the bottom. The blue is filled with stars the same color as the spores. A herd of strange deer with spines on their back graze in the distance. One looks at the camera. One walks towards the left. One eats with its head buried in the grass. Beneath the stars their is a city  of green and blue cylindrical buildings with rounded tops and spherical protrusions. The lights in the windows are blue like the spores and stars. Orange lights hover in the sky. A translucent blue dome with a hexagonal pattern near the top surrounds the city. /End Id

A series of brown board walks are suspended by stilts over a blue pool filled with lily pads. Facing away from the camera near the top, there is a black man walking on one branch of the boardwalk on the other branch there is a multiracial gay couple walking hand in hand. Near the bottom, there is a woman with a hijab walking. To her right there is a black woman running after a black girl. None of them see the skeleton of a basilosaurus, an ancient whale, in the pond in the far right of the canvas. Near the center one asian woman pauses to look at the whale.

I love how delightfully strange ancient whales look. They haunt me. This one haunts these walkers too.
