I kinda created my own small tradition of three annual illustrations I try to keep up with: Jack o’Lantern for Halloween, She-Hulk for X-Mas and Black Widow for the start of the year. Sadly I had no opportunity to draw Jack and She-Hulk last year, but I won’t skip on Widow this time!
This is the kind of shit we need; grown-ass celebrity men who are out there making fanart and showing vulnerability and putting themselves out there and destroying toxic masculinity and replacing it with emotionally intelligent, self-aware, secure masculinity.
Terry Crews is on another level y’all
He also sketched Okoye! His instagram is a blessing!
I want one of those scenes in a dude bro film where “tomboy” chick has to wear a dress to go undercover or whatever, but instead of the guys drooling as she walks down the stairs, they’re like “k. U need to stop. Go put the cargo pants back on. You look super uncomfortable and awkward in that. Brutus, you go be the fake prostitute.”
I’m just imagining this super ripped guy called Brutus being like ‘YESSS!!! I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE THE FAKE PROSTITUTE!! Now is my time to shine!!’
Tara Abernathy (from Max Gladstone’s Craft Sequence) for the first prompt of Month of Love 2018, “Black.”
I’ve been wanting to do a piece for the Craft Sequence books, which I discovered and fell in love with maybe a year ago, and this was the perfect push.
Modeled for by the lovely @labillustration, a great artist in her own right.
I didn’t know this series, so I now have something new to read, thanks to this gorgeous art!
It’s the little *clenches* that seals it as hilarious. 😀
I like the idea that everyone in Wakanda sees Sam Wilson and thinks, “He’s so smart, handsome, and heroic; clearly he has Wakandan in him” and T’Challa’s like “If he lets me take him to dinner he certainly could.”
GOING TO SEE BLACK PANTHER TONIGHT, I AM VERY EXCITE.
