Challenge #15: Heart Speak

[goss]

Title: Heart Speak
Artist: goss
Rating: G
Fandom: Original Art
Characters/Pairings: n/a
Content Notes: Created for drawesome's Challenge #15: Body Type Diversity. Title taken from a Hopi/Choctaw saying: "To watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak".

This was painted using watercolours, with additional colour tinting in Photoshop. I wanted to use the paint strokes to give a sense of movement and feeling. I may have had a bit *too* much fun splashing on the background...if only there was a Real Life "undo" button, I'd probably go back a few steps, but for the most part I'm satisfied with the results. :b

#15: body diversity

[syntheid]

Title: 4C Lineup 2018
Artist: syntheid
Rating: Actual picture is G, video is maybe PG-13 or something for implied nudity because I sketched them all 'art naked' first.
Fandom: Original
Characters/Pairings: All original, from my own project I've had for decades.

(Over on Tumblr.)

I've had these kids for ages. There's sort of a story behind them, but it's a mystery if I'll ever write it. I still feel like I don't quite have enough body diversity in the main cast, but it's getting better.

The looks I'm attempting to capture are: Asher is a long-time hard drug addict and very malnourished as a result, Corey is ... more or less AFAB enby though still uses female pronouns and she's tall and lanky, Giselle is very femme and petite and chubby, Jacob has usable muscle-- he's used to doing strenuous physical activity not bodybuilding for show, and Nathaniel is genderfluid but AMAB and Tall.
