My name is Maranda and I am an illustrator who draws a lot of pro-wrestling (and occasionally other things)! Nice to meet you Sky People 👋

#aew #dragongate

illustration of a close-up shot of Ultimo Dragon's hands gently untying the mask of Dragongate wrestler Diamante (now Luis Mante) after his loss at the 2023 Mask vs Mask five-way cagematch. Mante's head is bowed with a hand covering his face. Rendered in a soft brush style.

close-up portrait of Jon Moxley crouching in an inked style. Blood is covering his face and dripping from his nose and mouth. He looks intensely off-camera and his eyes glow in the shadows.

Close-up illustration of Julia Hart in an ink brush style. Lighting is coming from above, cutting a dramatic shadow over the top half of her face. Translucent red windows in the brim of her wide hat cast a crimson glow over her face giving her a menacing look. Her hair is swept over her shoulder, draped over the spikes on her wide black shoulder pads.

Tarot illustration of the Seven of Swords card.
There are two figures depicted, both of them are Shun Skywalker. One is crouched in the front, smiling and extending his arms out in a pose giving the impression of a bird spreading its wings for flight. This Shun Skywalker is dressed in a bright green suit reminiscent of a Japanese tokusatsu/sentai superhero (like a Power Ranger). This is Shun Skywalker as a bright-eyed and optimistic rookie.
Behind him is Shun Skywalker from years into his career. He is dressed in a similar full-body suit as his young version, except the suit is entirely black. He cuts a menacing figure in the background and is standing back to back with the young rookie version of himself. Looking left over his shoulder at his younger self, he wields a sword that pierces both of their bodies.
The Seven of Swords card is meant to represent trickery, betrayal, delusion, and self-sabotage.

Really enjoying the implication that Hangman can just do a perfect Tony Schiavone impression at will

I am at least kind of active at reblogging things on tumblr though, so if anyone misses seeing my username every regular interval I guess that an option 🤓

In general its been all-around stressful for the same reasons as it has been for everyone, but i still haven't been able to figure out a casual way to bring up that I was in a mass shooting like 6 months ago (which isn't so great for the nerves as you can imagine)

I really miss being more plugged in to wrestling and involved in the online community but this year has been ROUGH so I've been keeping my distance from socials in order to like, maintain my sanity

@MayorMGF Reminded me it's the 20 year anniversary for Joe vs. Kobashi. To this day still once of the craziest atmospheres I've ever seen. The rare dream match that lived up to the weeks of hype I listened to while waiting for the DVD.

I love in-ring storytelling, and last night we saw a mini-masterpiece taking place.

From the moment the bell rings Joe is raging, and who can blame him. This team cost him his chance at the championship TWICE. They've now taken two of his partners out of action.

"In mid-2007, I ruptured my left eardrum during a wild, open-palmed exchange with KENTA in which one errant shot caught me in my left ear. I never got it fixed, and even now I don’t hear as well on my left side." - Bryan Danielson
