Another one of Rita, also based off a fashion photo from somewhere.

There was some crud on the scanner bed, and I'm too tired to re-scan this right now. My cats are also about to throw hands (paws?) with me, because they think I should be in bed (I should be, but I don't feel like that's happening for a bit).

It's been a rough day. I won't lie about that.

I needed to do something with my hands, and it was hard to get myself to do it, but I did it. And doing something creative helped.

Rita again. Based off a fashion photo I found somewhere online. No. I never drew her foot.

I am not going to go gentle into the good night.

I'm gonna be a massive bitch about it.

This message goes out to any women, POC, trans, queer, disabled, mentally ill, neurodivergent, indigenous, muslism & jewish, and palestinian people out there in the US:

Keep living, thrive even. Keep going out of spite, keep going because living as yourself is an act of defiance. I love you <3 (heart)

so. bad news. we have to keep going tomorrow. good news is that I’ll keep going with you

[rita-lashette]

I wasn't really all that excited to color this one in (I have a lot of inked stuff on my desk right now, and this is the one I wanted to do the least) so I did it anyway.

There's nothing WRONG with it, per se... it's just... fine.

The scan didn't quite pick it up as nicely as it looks in real life, but I like the background shading/color quite a bit.

Oh, hey! I know I've been drawing a lot of Rita lately (she's been on my mind), but I had one of Kat Foxglove waiting to be colored, so here she is.

I am absolutely trying to distract myself from the sense of impending doom everyone I know has about the election tomorrow...

[rita-lashette]

Another one of Rita.

[rita-lashette]

Rita and Cortney. I just think they're cute! <3

I had an idea on Rita's story (regarding her dad mostly), and I'm re-excited to do some art.

[rita-lashette]

I remember when all sci-fi ladies used to be dressed in these outfits that looked like bathing suit over bodysuit kind of situation. I miss it a bit (oh nostalgia!)

[rita-lashette]

I decided that I really didn't like the lighter color surrounding her, so I made the background all dark.

Rita LaShette in a bar. I don't have much to say about this one.

[rita-lashette]

Sketched this a while ago, when I had an idea about a suit jacket. I think I'd like to try again (or a few more times), but I still think it's a neat idea.

[rita-lashette]

Rita LaShette.

Decided to color in a little sketch I'd done of Rita. I'm trying to not be too picky about things being "perfect", and that's helping me learn (re-learn?) what I'm doing, because it's all just practice...

I colored this on a blank note card, and I will admit that it's not the greatest. It works, but it's not my favorite paper. It IS nice for small sketches I want to finish though.

[rita-lashette]

I love Rita's design so much I love all of the posts of her wearing different outfits

Thank you! She's a good model for my love of drawing fashion.

A drawing of Rita using a fashion photo as inspiration.

I used a granulating watercolor paint for the background, and it would not scan At All. In reality it looks a lot like a corroding copper, and has a significant amount of orange-brown in it. Neither of my scanners would pick it up though, so this is what we get.
