I can make you braver than you are

Whoops, sorry guys! I'm looking forward to trying my hand at a couple of those fanart prompts, but my comic work took longer than expected ... and then I realized how down to the wire I was for kink_bingo amnesty. I really want to give the challenge another try this year!

I want these in two separate posts, so apologies for the spam!

It's funny, because when I asked for my card, I was really nervous about a few kinks that I wasn't sure I could do justice to. Guro was one of them, and ... that got me thinking how I could pull it off RACK-style. So when my card didn't include guro, I immediately decided I wanted to use my "free" space for it, because I loved the idea so much. That's one of my favorite things about fandom challenges ... stretching in unexpected ways!

Oh my god it is SO BEAUTIFUL, I love the intense detail an especially the contemplative, *there* looks on their faces. Guhhhhhhh

Awww, thanks! (Man, I had a really intense last-minute fight with Gerard's face, but I think I won. Whew.)

this is really beautiful! At first glance I thought she was holding a scalpel, and it took me a second to register paintbrush/paintcans/paint - what a lovely gradual realisation. I love the idea of exposing someone's insides by covering over their outsides. And I love her hands all covered in red and the smears on her face and chest! Lovely.

Oh yay, thanks very much! I'm glad to hear that; I was definitely hoping it would need a second look, in keeping with the context of the kink. And yes, all of this, so much what I was going for. <3

Oh my goodness, I am NEVER CLOSING THIS TAB. This is so intensely beautiful and what a genius idea. I love how it looks like such a super quiet moment between them, ahh the looks on their faces. Lyn-Z's arms all red to the elbow..GOSH. It's beautiful. And just in general, I love the balance of really detailed work to more stark simplicity in your work - it's really powerful to me, and works really well for this piece. This is basically the art of my DREAMS so I am so glad your brain and your hands made it happen. *________*
