Meet the Artist: @iliothermia

Hello tumblr, I'm Hyde! I’m a Greek-Jewish illustrator who loves blending my culture, spirituality, identity, and memories into my romantic fantasy stories I depict. I want nothing more than to draw the characters I needed to see as a trans teen struggling with my balance of femininity and masculinity. When I’m not drawing I make paper, jewelry, or read.

Nice to meet you, Hyde! He has shared some of his work below for you all.

Check out more of Hyde’s work over at his Tumblr, @iliothermia!

An incredibly fun commission for @iliothermia of his oc, Yasen!

Thank you so much for commissioning me, I had a lot of fun designing this outfit :D

I'm still on my art hiatus but.. them!!!

~please click for better quality this took way too long for tumblr to just kill it 😭~

These wonderful characters belong to the equally wonderful @iliothermia

They have a very bittersweet but truly beautiful story that I suggest you check out! It's very short and is on this post!

I couldn't capture every detail about them like I would've wanted but I did my best :'3

I'm a huge fan of @iliothermia 's artwork, & I finally decided to do some fanart of his characters!! I chose Asoulay.

I've got a kind-of-sort-of process vid on my Tiktok of this (which showcases such things as: the eyeball collar I made in its entirety only to cover nearly the whole thing with that arm).

[alienjaes]

I am so happy I finally got some of @iliothermia's art for myself!! These stickers manage to capture a ton of detail from his work but trust me, you want to look at the full-res art or prints too - he is a stellar artist. These lads will have pride of placement for a good long while!

Another fave!

pls don't worry, my post was moreso thinking about if my art will be worth remembering to anyone, but!! I do wanna say, it means a lot to me that with my art or anyone else's you go out of your way to credit things-- my most popular piece I made a few years ago was taken and shared 80,000 times on facebook when I had very little following and to this day I have to have it with me no matter where I sell my work because people don't know I drew it. So when someone like you takes the time to credit people it does make a big difference and I hope you know you're appreciated!!

Thank you! I hope you know you’re loved and also appreciated. It was the “Sale Sapir” piece in your store. I thought it was so pretty I had to find you. Thank you for all your work, it’s deeply inspiring. Your art is 100% worth remembering and you’re one of the artists I show to people when people ask me about my favorite artists.

On a (marginally) less batshit note, Final Ghirahim? My little icecream boy.

His hair has The Swoop :)

He has little fangs :) God I love him :) He needs more appreciation <3

LOOK, I know this thread ended up concluding that Micolash, is not, infact, secretly a swole menace...

...HOWEVER I also think it would be INCREDIBLY funny if he pulled a Senator Armstrong and went full, “I PLAYED [FOOTBALL] IN COLLEGE!” while still being a rambling lunatic nerd.

Look.

I’m just saying.

My #1 post of 2022

Decided to take my recent musings and do something with them. Turned out far more bombastic than the initial subtle nod I intended... Ahh, standard fare ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ soppy rambling beneath the cut ]

Been feeling very nostalgic lately for my pre- and early teens; that'd been when I'd first started getting into Zelda content online. Binge-watching theories and top-tens and peoples' thinkpieces on whatever their favourite (or least favourite) game was.

One of my favourite vids to revisit was a Halloween special rabbidluigi did with some other guy, compiling what they thought were the top 25 creepiest things in Zelda. It's from 2012, so it's rough, to say the least, but it also feels like home.

Skyward Sword was the first Zelda game I ever had, but Twilight Princess was the first game I ever played-- Even if it was a bare scrape into the prologue. Fitting that I draw this guy.

I arranged the knickknacks around my desk to watch the first menorah candle be lit ❤️

Tumblr Tuesday: Mermay

Well, chaps, Mermay is in full swing, and we thought we'd share a little selection of its masterpieces. Who knows, maybe you, too, will feel moved to immortalize the noble merperson. Call it inspo. Call it appreciation. Whatever you do, please do feast thine eyes and enjoy.

(As is often the way with the beasties, some of these have fins, eyes, bones, and other potentially upsetting sticky-out bits. Please proceed with caution if any of this squicks you out).

Artists that inspire me!

I'm a huge fan of art and these are only skimming the top of the wonders of the artist community and those that inspire me.

@iliothermia a trans Jewish artist who creates undeniably trans and Jewish art!!! Hyde's linework and composition is masterful, and his attention to detail is immaculate. He has a shop where he sells beautiful high quality prints, stickers, pins, bookmarks, and a few other odds and ends! Oh, did I mention he draws everything with a MOUSE!

@eleheba another trans Jewish artist I adore. Skilled in black and white work and color. Composition is crazy. It's the kind of work I'd think to find in old medieval books. They're definitely a modern day master artist. They also have a shop!

@stayatsam this artist has inspired me endlessly and got me into portraiture. Another transgender W. Sammi creates beautiful portraits with a unique coloring style. Edgy, gothic, and beautiful.

@littlestpersimmon I'm struggling to find the words to describe how incredible this artist's work is. Dreamy, ethereal, romantic, and detailed. He create enchanting mlm pieces inspired by southeast Asian art and culture.

@godivaghoul an erotica artist who creates dashing gothic scenes. Beautiful women with spectacular line art...need I say more?

@wiltkingart dark and moody paintings with incredible use of color. A focus on trans mlm. Another artist that deeply inspires me.

@skulkingfoxes on instragram and Twitter (edit: and now tumblr!) Rowan has incredible lineart and character design. They have several comics as well as a shop! Their composition and use of black and white is skillful and immaculate. I wish I could steal their hands

@the-nothing-maker their art always wows me. They have amazing control over color and use colored pencils!!! Genuinely their work GLOWS I wish I could see them in person.

@bunabi another master of color and character design. All her art feels soft and dreamy. She also make brush packs!

@rennybu where do I start... Adrienne's art is colorful, soulful, and dreamy. And so so tender. Not to mention they're incredibly kind! Here's a commission I got from them...agh I'm tearing up

Unfortunately I've run out of image space. The list could go on until I've named every artist on the internet. I hope you give these wonderful people a follow!

And of course all my wonderful art friends but you can just check out my tag #friend art
