Laura draws some super adorable stuff, including (but not limited to) CUTE CHIBIS, NSFW GAY SHIT, WEIRD ANIMALS, DARK MOODY STUFF, DEAN IN PANTIES, and DESTIEL
this is my favourite one, personally
ISN’T THAT THE SWEETEST THING OMFG.
and here’s one I commissioned for a fic, exactly a year ago:
and if you’re not into fandom so much, she does original art too
c'mon friends, I know someone out there has always wanted a very particular something-or-other. here’s some ideas:
a little chibi character for the corner of your blog?
get the funky sidebar art you’ve always craved!
did you write a story? get that shit illustrated and make yourself look hella professional.
get some greeting card printables to send to your fandom friends!
add a geeky cartoon to your bedroom wall!!
see your OC drawn in a different style!
check out the link to see the different kinds of magic Laura can give you~
the cheapest thing you can get is 6€ ($7 USD) for a pencil sketch. the most expensive thing on this list is 16 euros for full-colour digital art - that’s only $18 USD (or £12 GBP)!!!!
↑ the cute traditional-media one up the top is even cheaper! ↑ seriously, think about it. $17 USD for a full colour pen-and-paper fanart. those are some fairground-artist prices right there. not only is it a reasonable price, but SHE’LL POST IT TO YOU FORFREE FROM FINLAND??? IMAGINE THAT. JUST $17 FOR A PHYSICAL COPY OF YOUR DREAM FANART.
pretty sure you could be as specific as you like and Laura would deliver (according to the specifications she names in the above link, obviously). I can personally vouch that she’s a lovely, talented human being IN EPIC NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. go pitch your idea to her and help her out ♥
be nice to her or else
p.s. she also sells prints and stickers on her etsy(support her without social interaction!). it’s mostly Supernatural stuff at the moment but there’s some Steven Universe stuff coming soon. and keyrings! (previews of that on her instagram~)
ALSO she’s one tumblr follower away from 1,000 and she’s doing an art giveaway when that happens! follow herand you’ll be entered in the draw~ (warning: blog is nsfw)
tl;dr BUY SOME COOL ART AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF FOR HELPING THOSE IN NEED
This is a kid that I met when I was teaching Vacation Bible School at my church last week.
I ran into him when I was going into our activity center and took notice of the gem he had placed on his forehead that he’d gotten because for the craft we made crosses that we could put these plastic gems on and we had a lovely conversation.
Me: Hey I like your gem. Kid: Why thank you, I bet you don’t know what show it’s from. Me: Steven Universe. Kid: Ah! You guessed it, but you probably don’t know what character has this gem. Me: Pearl. Kid: Ah! You’ve answered all my questions, you must have the future vision of Garnet. Me: I do. My girlfriend absolutely adores Pearl, we’re basically a real life Ruby and Sapphire. Kid: Really!?!?! You are Garnet!!! Me: Yeah I suppose so. Kid: Pearl is my favorite. Me: Mine is Amethyst, in fact it’s also my birthstone. Kid: Pearl is the smartest, most perfect, prettiest, and best gem there is - if I was a girl I’d marry her. Kid: *laughs* I like the way you think.
I thought it was the coolest thing that this boy found my lgbt relationship perfectly normal (especially since this was a religious function) and that he was so attached to this non-binary, identified female, lesbian character - it proves that Steven Universe isn’t just effecting young girls (and us too, but I’m talking about the target audience), but also teaching boys that like a female character is completely normal and that girls can be kick ass too.
The effect this show is having on the younger generation makes me so happy.
my favorite part of this is him saying “if i was a girl i’d marry her”
this kid recognizes that Pearl has a preference for females and is not only okay with it, but respects it
can i rec a show to you? there's a show i watch called Steven Universe its a kids cartoon but its absolutely fantastic, 3 of the main characters are Genderless, another main is a young boy who is very emotional and is never mocked for it, recently we had a canon queer couple (it was fairly obvious in the episode but then was confirmed as romantic by a storyboard artist) and it has character development and strong themes, plus each ep is only 10 mins long :D
I’ve heard and seen a lot about it, and I loooove the fanart I see on my dash. I will definitely give it a go at some point, thank you!!
