Digital art of a knight clad in black and gold armour. They hoist a trans flag in one hand and wield a sword in the other. They are stepping onto the fallen body of an angel in front of a crumbling gothic arch. Overlaid in red is the text "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE"

Doggust Day 15: Havanese. Unqualified and too small for this job.
#doggust #doggust2025

A small tan and white dog sitting in a big office chair, framed by big office chairs in the foreground, on the other side of a conference table. They're in a corporate meeting room. On the desk are papers, a laptop, some blue post its and a pen. The dog has a blank look, as though they have no idea how they got here or what to do. The overall colors are teal and and ochre.

Keep up your calls and complaints to payment processors because this is where the bans are going, nothing accidental about it.

I like the idea behind this movement, but istfg if this ends up just being another Kony 2012 situation, I'm taking heads, bro
Also don't just change your pfp
Divest, disengage, and actively protest against big tech and evil corporations

🔹🏳️‍⚧️ PERSEVERE 🏳️‍⚧️🔹

i adore and am inspired by my trans friends, peers and mutuals, forever and ever. i will defend you and your rights till the day i die. this piece is in honor of you.

An illustration of my original character, Rasha, sitting deteminedly in the middle of a pack of shadowy, black wolves, with a muted cathedral behind them. he is clothed with but a loincloth, with scratches and bruises across his tan body. two, bright pink and blue colored surgery scars glow from beneath his chest, and his hair is vibrant in the same hues with a glowing crown emitting from it. his expression is determined, frustrated but ready. He carries a pole with a large, long transgender flag.
The wolves around him are rabid, their eyes glowing menacingly, their mouths drooling in hunger.
Above them, a blue and pink sun is arising.

description:
tho i am genderfluid, i dont use the trans label, HOWEVER.... ive never met a trans person that wasn't awesome, and i adore and am inspired by my trans friends, peers and mutuals, forever and ever. i will defend you and your rights till the day i die. this piece is in honor of you.
the character pictured, Rasha, is also trans!!! and though i don't often express anger with him, here, i wanted to show im pissed off, and ready to fight because damnit he's bein tested with everything that's going on...

one could deduce this to be about fending off bigotry, the wolves resembling rabid injustice - and ill definitely take that.
but, if you know rasha at all, you'll know a wolf/dog is his representative animal, and i often display him as a wolf or with wolves by his side. so, my starting point was actually for this to be about the internalized struggle. rasha himself resembles the colorful desire to be who he truly is, and the wolves are also him, but they are just the learned instincts of fitting in, laying low and conforming. the 'inner trained dogs...' they are programmed to attack what is different in order to protect from harm, because lord knows how painful it can be to be yourself.

but now, he must eradicate those coping mechanisms, as much as they mean to defend. because a better, more vibrant life lies ahead.

Okay so what I'm gonna be doing on my Patreon for a while is brainstorming ideas for a fantasy TV show influenced by Farscape (especially its approach to puppets and prosthetics). Sketches, character notes, storyline ideas, episode synopses, stuff like that.

patreon.com/gorangligovic

The title card for "Archaion", the show in question. It shows the word Archaion in golden letters with a little flame over the I. Behind the title there's an ancient-looking map of a circular continent on top of which are strewn some bronze items.

Some sketches of the principal cast of the show.

Issander, the slightly boring but developing character we start the show with (a guy with a braided mullet and a light beard carrying a peculiar looking shield)

Muirid, a scholar and a poet (huge blue guy with horns)

Cauldron, a living cauldron

Elyet, a girl with black and white geometric markings all over her body

Hadash, a one-eyed bandit queen

Kharondar, an old and unkempt itinerant priest

Alala, a siren with one malformed wing
