Jua's not LGBTQ+ or GRSM, but she's an ally. This paint-y style piece is my 'show your pride' entry for the contest! I hate that I missed getting it done in June, but late beats never! I've never really cared for the Ally Flag, but I think it came out well.
Stylistically, this was a rush job which lead to some experimentation to speed up my process, and I like how it went. I was taken by the idea of the 'A's arms pointing down ward, and Jua's arms pointing upward making a contrast. The composition was what made this for me.
Edit: Missed the fact that I needed #ShowYourPride in the piece, so I fixed it! (if people want, I'll reupload the one without the text later)

dude i really love this <3 i honestly love the ally flag, as a pan/NB person, it is v necessary. for people to show us their support as well as closeted lgbt people to have a place in their community
also your painting is phenomenal, the composition really hits and this character is very pretty! <33

Oh, it's absolutely necessary. My girlfriend is trans, so I know it's a big thing. It's a part of her daily life, no matter what. I'm not entirely proud of some of the stupid crap I said/thought when I was a kid, but there's been a few times, starting like 20 years ago, where I stood up for the right things. I know how important representation and allies are.
Haha, I guess it does.
Thanks. I honestly rushed this piece a little, but I'm happy with the choices I made. The stylistic approach to the background and some of the brush strokes was a result of a time crunch, but I think it worked. The composition, on the other hand, just came to me all at once, when I read the prompt. The 'A' of the Flag mirrored the 'V' of her arms and that pleased me.

The body language in this piece is really striking and stunning, it simply works out so well, it striked me so powerfully I had tears in my eyes, really. We're always in need of allies, we're always in need of support. Great piece, and congratz in the honorable mention, it's very well deserved!
Thank you so much! I agree about allies. I was in a pride march back in the 90s where some extremists threw a tear gas grenade (ended up in the news paper cuz I ran back into the cloud to save a few friends who fell trying to run away) so I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about not being a silent passive ally. I kind of channeled a little of that into the piece for Jua. I'm glad it moved you, that's the absolute best compliment an artist can ever get.
