I am a trans woman and I stand in defiance of the needless censorship of my sexuality and self-expression in what was a safe space.
Reblog before Dec 17 if you stand in defiance of the needless censorship of your sexuality and self-expression.
I defy needless censorship. I defy the suppression of self-expression. I defy the very idea that censorship of sexuality is not an atrocity.

Please reblog this for greater visibility, and do it with your real blog, not your untitled porn blog, because this deserves at least that much respect.
The thing about illustrating a scene that contains a (small, pedal-powered) airship is that first it is necessary to actually design the airship. In the course of doing so, I have learned that I am not very good at designing airhsips.

One unique challenge was the effect exemplation magic would have on design. It’s not as obvious as it seems. For example, the boat has to be attached to the envelope by ordinary rope, to allow for shock-absorbing give, but none of the control surfaces would be connected by any physical parts, because those parts would only introduce unneeded friction and weight.
Also, drawing propellers (from the side) is hard, so I cheated.
Here is a concept image of Vera from my webnovel, Solace.
I like the way this one came out, even if her outfit came out a bit more water tribe than I thought it would.
Vera: “Aw, yeah! This is happening!”
Me: Stop it! You are not Sonic the Hedgehog!
TvTropes: Suspiciously Specific Denial!
I tweaked the portrait of Miles, trying his face a different way. I think I like this better, but I’m still not entirely happy with it. I compromised between full lips and having only a single line by outlining the full shape but in the skin stroke color, and pulled the outline off his eyes.
Also, I added a converse pulsebinding glyph, because why not. I couldn’t use my intended blending mode on a transparent image, and you can’t really see it against a white background, but it looks passable on a darker background.
Can some people who are actually properly androphilic tell me where this outfit design falls between “sexy” and “silly” on that spectrum?
I made some very minor tweaks to Iva’s portrait. I corrected a few edges that weren’t lined up right, and I fixed the layer order for her thigh.
This is the definitive version, I think.
