Admin Post: Drawing Challenge #71 - Pride!

Challenge #71: Pride!
It's Pride throughout June in the USA and many other places, so that's our theme this month. You can draw or paint LGBTQ+ characters from canon or fandom, original characters representing some aspect of Pride, key historical LGBTQ figures, art based on the colours of the Pride flags - wherever your imagination takes you!
Here's what Wikipedia has to say about LGBTQ people and Pride.
It's fine to depict slash, femslash, poly, ace etc. relationships beloved of fandom, whether or not they're explicit in canon. Or show your favourite characters taking part in Pride activities like parades, marches, or parties - anything linked with Pride and the LGBTQ+ community.
A round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be done at the end of June.

Content Notes: So this was drawn in fairly poor light in a hurry at Swancon2025 at a bumpy table. Still it's not terrible. Drawn with the Conklin mainly.

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in May, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming art challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.
Reminder: A Round-Up for the MerMay & Marine Challenge will be posted soon, and a new monthly challenge will be issued later this week. :)
Thank Blog It's Friday
May. 30th, 2025 07:58 pmnevannaWearing: A dress printed with cats wearing neckties or sunglasses. Today's storytime theme was "Clothing." I read this book in a pirate voice.
Reading: I finished Blazing Eye Sees All, which was excellent, and am about to start Immaculate Conception by Ling Ling Huang. Her first book, Natural Beauty, blew me away, and her new one seems like it'll be even more up my alley. I also recently read a fantastic essay by Jude Doyle about Watchmen and Gritty Reimaginings in general.
Writing: Still between projects!
Planning: I'm going to a friend's Pride brunch tomorrow! Planning to start a batch of mini quiches as soon as I finish this post. On Sunday, I'm volunteering for a few hours in the afternoon, but hope to attend at least one craft market before or after.
What about you?
