Still on my art grind (now with new narrative flavor as well) because EVE is still fueling me creatively

I did a few versions of this Horace piece but I like this one best

horace

the third one I intend on coloring and the fourth one is some excellent art my roommate did of his friend's fursona that he asked me to color

bread singalong Horace

both my big eater OCs getting a lot of love today

I started with some new inking pens and I love them a lot

As for narrative, like I said EVE owns my ass rn and it's been a different song MV I've manically watched each day for the last four and right now As You Like It has me in a chokehold

お気に召すまま - Eve MV

it's inspired by a "meeting of the selves" narrative and I'm sure in the music video the MC ends up losing a girl he likes to a future self he hates, but I almost like the idea of a screwed up narrative where an unhappy up-and-coming rockstar character meets his future selves; one from a bad future in which he remains unhappy and reaches heights of stardom,

and one where he actually realizes he's trans and finds genuine happiness. He hates the rockstar future self for being manic and bitter and troublesome while trying to force himself into that role, and tries to understand the happy future self and how she understands herself.

The future selves also don't recognize each other and through strange kinship and otherness, lives having diverged some ten years ago, end up falling in love. It doesn't end well for him or the unhappy future self when they fight about the entire matter,

and the other future self is just glad to know they really have the capacity for happiness and growth the way she did, rather than getting in his own way.

I showed my roommate the music video and towards the end he went "OH, this is a trans narrative" And I was like yeah, bro, you get me

and a preview for favorite character colos
