Keeping It Gay and Rad Since 1995!

Inktober day 3! Tried something a little different with this one, and although it’s not the best I’m still pretty ok with how it turned out! Especially considering I couldn’t erase any of my mistakes; and boy oh boy there were a lot of them lol

Here’s what I’ve been working on for the past 2 days! A movie poster for my short film starring my favorite original characters: Penn and Kevin! There’s no credit text on it yet because I’m still working out what I would need to put on it/formatting, and the printed poster itself would have my full name on it instead of my tumblr url obviously. Though I digress, I had a TON of fun drawing this out! The design’s been inspired by 1980s era-VHS covers! For those who don’t know, here’s a bit of what my thesis film is about: The year is 1988 and technology is 1000 years ahead of it’s time. Penn is a young-adult robot who’s coming to terms with his sexual orientation, as well as trying to figure out how to interact with the crazy neon world he lives in. One day, when he’s feeling really comfortable with everything, he decides to come out as gay to some friends at his school in confidence. When things don’t go as well as he planned, he finds out that no matter what it is you’re going through, you’re not alone; and it’ll be ok. Even when things seem to be at their worst and you feel at your lowest, someone will know what that feels like too and be there to support you. It’s an important lesson that really hits home with me which is why I wanted to make my film about it. Plus, it’s about time the animation medium had some gay characters get some representation and happy endings! I’m super excited to finally be finishing this project up this year! Stay tuned for more! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

So @dreammedarling has such a sense of style, I really just really wanted to draw them! They look like a Jem character in real life and they gave me permission to draw them! I hope they like it! 

Oh yeah I didn't post about it before but I was rocking some retro looks earlier today :V

Did some thrift shopping with a bunch of my friends today and picked up some really cute things to wear! I have finally achieved my long awaited retro-lesbian status ♡

I made this for a playlist I threw together today on my 8tracks! :V
