#DCU Rarepair Exchange 2023

[silver-snow-draws]

Black Canary/Lady Shiva for the 2023 DCU Rarepair Exchange, this was my gift for @chezpillow ! Mixed media w/ pencils and inks, was very fun to work on 😊

Art description: Black Canary held by Lady Shiva from behind, with one hand over her mouth and the other restraining Dinah’s free hand by interlacing their fingers. The two women are making eye contact as Sandra’s hand tugs Dinah’s head backwards. Dinah is wearing a classic dark blue bodysuit with a fishnet chest cutout and fishnet tights, and Sandra is wearing a tang style purple and red frog-button blouse embroidered with golden phoenixes over form-fitting brown pants.

Beneath the Skin by anonymous for byrdsofthenyte

No Capes/Demonology AU. Explicit | Rape/Non-Con & Underage Tim Drake/Kon-El | Conner Kent/Slade Wilson, Tim Drake/Kon-El | Conner Kent, background Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson It's essentially by coincidence that Tim finds out he has a Gift, and he doesn't even fully realize that he does, same as it was for his mother before him. He also doesn't realize how dangerous it is to dabble in these kinds of things; no one ever sat down and had a conversation with him about it, everything he learnt is self-taught. He doesn't know he can't afford to make mistakes, and inexperienced as he is, mistakes are unfortunately inevitable.

A Certain Indecipherable Feeling by anonymous for Kalinjdra

General Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply J'onn J'onzz/Clark Kent J'onn can feel an emotion from Kal-El that he cannot identift, and that feeling only seems to get stronger the more time the two spend together. Can there be an emotion unique to Human-raised Kryptonians?

Incentive by anonymous for felinemotif

Explicit | No Archive Warnings Apply Janet Drake/Talia al Ghul "Maybe if you ask nicely, I'll be inclined to let you live this time," Talia proposes. The look Janet gives her is severe, and coy. "Sweetheart, you wouldn't want me this badly if I rolled over every time you asked." "Perhaps you need an incentive, then." "By all means," Janet purrs, words dropping to a whisper as her lips brush the assassin's, "incentivise me."

A Taste of Honey by anonymous for RayByAnotherName

Sex Pollen. Dubious Consent. Explicit | No Archive Warnings Apply Duke Thomas/ Damian Wayne 'Afterwards, Duke can only remember fragments - glass sharp, scattered and disorienting. Heat. Pain. Arousal. The bite of vines at his wrists. An ache in his veins like fire, like molten steel, burning him up form the inside. The taste of blood between his teeth.'

A Truth or a Lie by anonymous for Mickidona

General Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply Bea Bennett/Dick Grayson With Ric, though, there was something different. Bea couldn't say want. The way he moved, the way he examined the world around him, his opinions, everything about him was so alien to her. When he'd told her his story she knew it was a lie. Bea Bennett was intrigued, simple and so infinitely not so simple.

‘You’re okay ?’ He asked one-handed, knuckles touching Dick’s cheekbone when the man ducked his head and smiled. “Have you seen The Matrix ?” --- Dick goes down in a fight and Joey is anxious to make sure he's okay. They spend some well-earned comfort time together, but is everything as good as it seems ? Written for the DCU Rarepair Exchange 2023

Notes:

For dxncingquxxr. This is my first time participating in the DCU rarepair event and I had so much fun writing this !! DickJoey are so beautifully suited to fluffy silly gooey moments so this was very self indulgent<3 I hope you all enjoy :D Note that Joey's dialogue is written in italics and single apostrophes to distinguish signing. My ASL grammar is not perfect but the vibes of what he's saying are written rather than exact translation.

Ayo it's late but 2023 Digital Art Progress

I drew the most digital stuff I've ever drawn last year. I finally pushed past a lot of my issues with the digital medium and figured out how to actually Do The Thing per se. so I think I got a lot better over the course of 2023. I definitely changed my visual style a lot, that's for sure.

Unfortunately I did lose my USB in 2023 as well so I lost a lot of my files. much sadness.

LONG POST. lots of drawings to get through and I have Thoughts.

Anyway these are dated in my files as March, which is my earliest I have rn, so this is kinda a representation of how I started the year.

I was busy most of April so May has two files. these were both a part of my semester one project of my degree.

I've got a lot of things dated for June, which is surprising. and not a lot of things dated after. I'm all over the place with starting wips and when it comes to finishing them... ehhh it happens eventually.

I really wish I could go back in time and fix that leg. I just wanted to avoid drawing toes lmao. the thick line art really is a problem to me but that's neither here nor there.

I think I finished a bunch of thing in June, because these are dated two days apart and I definitely started one before the other lmao. hell I think the one on the left was started in 2022.

I'm not sure when this was but it was early in the year. I tried to veer away from the harsh lines and ended up swinging too far into semi-realism. I loved how it was looking (this is still a wip) but the amount of time it was taking was too much for me to replicate again.

This definitely a June piece, because I wanted to do one character every few days throughout Pride Month. Didn't finish it.

last year my friends and I considered starting to record and post our dnd games, so I did some arts of the characters of our current campaign.

I think the solid black line art all of the same thickness was one of the main things I always disliked. I could never quite make it work with everything else I was doing.

This is probably the only work I did with solid black lines that I really liked. it seems to work okay here.

The July came around, and artfight with it! (this character belongs to Crimson_Deceit. You can find Crimson on instagram as Lova.cos or twitter also as Crimson_Deceit)

and then the DCU rarepair exchange came in September and I didn't have time to write treats so I drew them, which spawned a new attempt at shading things that I've been messing with ever since. I prefer the way my linework looks with it.

I messed around with clown oc designs in October, cause that was a mini trend on instagram. didn't finish fast enough to post it but i really like some of the designs.

in December I drew the OCs of some of my friends, as we finished our playthrough of CoS last year. this is our cleric, a changeling who went through many names and faces, depicted holding hands with their player @angelicsky64817

Last piece of the year was this muck around. I'm still trying to figure out some of these new style choices I'm making.

Finish off with a sneak at what I'm currently doing in the new year! I've been drawing one big piece so it's stretching over from january. It's still a wip. And it's such a big image I've gotta compress it.

woo! now I gotta go finish that thing. there's gonna be three more characters to the right of the yellow one. why have I done this to myself.

i hope that in 2024 i can get more of a grip on the saturation of my newer styles of drawing. and learn some more colour theory. and also get better at drawing skin, cause I think I'm mostly okay at clothes but skin always looks boring or weird.

It was a playing card surrounded by flowers and arrowheads. An ace of hearts, but in green instead of red. Every person had a soulmark unique to them, the issue was finding that person for whom it represented. “Do you have a soulmate?” Kyle asked. Connor had told him he was asexual, Kyle had wondered if that meant that he didn’t have a soulmate, or if his soulmate just was platonic. Connor narrowed his eyes on him. “Yes, I have a soulmate.

He was a big guy with a dozen or so claw marks across his face and a stiff sneer. “That’s what I’ve heard,” the first man to speak replied. “Whoever kills the clown gets to mate Red Hood.”

Midwest Hospitality by anonymous for ramveins

Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics Mature | Graphic Depictions of Violence Clark Kent/Slade Wilson When Special Agent Slade Wilson runs afoul of Amanda Waller, he has Task Force X set on him, with his only hope of rescue being the alien invader that he'd been tasked with defeating.

When Superman hears a cry for help, of course he'll answer it, even if it turns out the one in need of help had hurt him, before, even tried to kill him. He's Superman, he'll always help. After action comes recovery. After drama comes quiet. And hopefully, after animosity and confusion can come friendship and understanding, and maybe something more.

I think he was trying to replicate Darkseid's powers. Specifically, his 'Omega Beams'." "Your amateur magician was a fucking moron," John said, because what kind of idiotic human tried to summon the power of a New God? "Yeah, well, he certainly hit me with an omega beam."

And The World Keeps Spinning by anonymous for BearlyWriting

Mature | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Mia Dearden/Jason Todd Everyone keeps assuring her that the Red Hood is as crazy and out of control as any other murdering creep in a costume; that she was lucky to survive. Some of them, like Batman and Nightwing, actually know the guy. And they have a lot of experience. Way more than her. They know what they’re talking about. It’s just… She is lucky she got away. Really lucky. Despite her training, Red Hood had captured her as easily as picking up his dry cleaning. If he’d really wanted to hurt her, it would have been all too easy. The only conclusion is that he let her go. It takes three days to accept that truth. After that… well, the floodgates have been thrown open. Everything that’s happened, all the shit she’s been through in her life… it's scary how easily she can picture going the other way, letting the anger and bitterness and bone-deep injustice lead her down a more violent path of vengeance and righteous fury.

Are you a rarepair enthusiast looking for some inspiration? Consider making a Treat for the 2023 DCU Rarepair Exchange, and brighten someone’s day!

Treats are extra fanworks created in addition to a Giftor’s assigned Gift. There is no obligation to create Treats; they are simply offered as an option for participants eager to create more works than their assignment, and for non-participants who want to get involved in the Exchange.

View the Treat Sheet!

If you didn’t sign up but still want to get involved in the Exchange, you’re welcome to create a Treat using the Treat Sheet! The Collection will remain open to receive Treats indefinitely, and Treats will begin to be released on October 6th. Treats creators will be revealed from October 10th. 

If you have any questions about the Schedule or Treats, please feel free to ask the mods!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ♥️

Thank you for the ask habibti :DDD

Wondering if I even have five fics published.. to the archive ! ...I have eleven fics. Who knew :0 In no particular order;

A Brother in Need

A no capes, reverse robins story for the Dick Grayson big bang 2023, based on my own experiences having top surgery. I'm a little obsessed with the world building of the fab five all living in a tiny apartment together in California.. I have a few ideas for some follow-up fics to explore that world !

Battle Scars

A brief exploration of Jason's experiences with chronic pain. Also based on some personal experiences, I just really liked the imagery in this one and the way Jason blinks and Dick is there for him. I like writing them together a lot.

Sponge Cake Kisses

'First Kiss' prompt for year of the OTP 2023.. and the only prompt I managed for that challenge oops. This one's just so cute and sweet and fluffy and silly, and I had a lot of fun writing the titans being dumb teenagers throwing a party. I love writing people in love<3

Have you seen the Matrix ?

Written for the DCU Rarepair Exchange 2023. An experiment in leaning harder on the plot since most of my fics are focused on the characters first and the plot more loosely.

Elevator

Dick and Jason get stuck in an elevator, trauma ensues. Another Dick and Jason one.. they make for good material. I really like Jason age regression and exploring his PTSD, this was a lot of fun to write.
