An illustration of Rin sitting inside a music box, dressed as a wind up doll. Rin is a bald, freckled man, with pale skin and a rose tattoo on the side of his neck and down his arm. He has ripped the key from his back and is holding it defensively as he stares angrily at the camera. His eyes appear dull but express nothing but rage. Blood stains are on the back of his dress and fingerprints are scattered around the key. His dress is adorned with golden details, the top half looking like a blossoming rose and the bottom half decorated with golden figures resembling Emmet. He has long hair, is also wearing a dress, and holding a bunch of blooming roses. These same roses also sit on Rin's crown, however half of it is missing. The key he holds resembles the symbol for "female" and has been stabbed into the floor, shattering the glass around him. There are roots starting to emerge from the cracks. The whole painting is a pink hue.

An illustration of my main original characters, from left to right: Rin, Emmet, Beatrice, and Kring. Rin and Kring are pulling a large Christmas cracker. Rin is struggling while Kring is holding on with one hand. Their non winking eye is glowing gold and they are smirking, holding up a piece sign. Emmet and Beatrice are in the background cheering their lovers on, albeit Emmet's teasing. Beatrice can only look at Kring with love. Kring, Beatrice, and Rin are wearing festive outfits to different extents. Rin is wearing a fluffy, red dress and heels, while Kring and Bea have matching jumpers, gold and cyan respectively, with festive accessories. Emmet, on the other hand, is wearing black, gothic clothing. The two couples are divided by two backgrounds, showing an ice rink and the inside of Kring's ship. There is a tear in the middle of the images, showing they are breaking apart like the cracker. Holding the canvas together at the edges is a glittery, green ribbon with a label reading "happy holidays x" on it.

They're competing for my attention in 2025 #OC #CoursingConstellations #DefinePhoria

An illustration of my original character, Emmet. He is dressed as a gothic ballerina, en ponite, wearing an outfit inspired by his goose, Sprinkles. His hand is on his chest and he is looking up with a tear falling down his cheek. On his knee he is wearing a fabric, support brace, and a bow tie is around his neck. His long, straight hair tied back in a bun, and he has a mole above his lip. There is a bottom surgery skin graft scar on his arm.

An illustration of my other character, Rin, posing with a hockey stick behind his back and a flirtatious, smug smirk on his face. On the floor in front of him is a hockey puck. He is wearing a leotard, frilly sleeves and cape, high heels, and a bow tie around his neck. Rin is a hairy, bald man with freckles on his cheeks and shoulders. He has flowers tattooed on his neck, arm, hand, and ankle.

Alt outfits if they were in an RPG #OC #DefinePhoria

An illustration of my original character, Rin, standing by the sea. Rin is a pale, hairy, bald man with freckles on his cheeks and shoulders. He has roses tattooed on his neck and hand, and one of his front teeth is chipped. His body is incredibly sunburnt where he has been wearing a tank top, but now he is shirtless. As a result, his top surgery scars are visible. He is looking forward, assumedly at his boyfriend, with a lovestruck smile on his face that is accompanied by a blush. He is wearing swimming trunks and has a towel slung over his shoulder, his other hand holding the large brim of his hat to ensure it doesn't fall off. The sun is shining behind him, creating a glow around his frame.

An illustration of Rin and Emmet, dancing and laughing together. Surrounding them are multiple speech bubbles, dancing around them too. Emmet's are fluent and large, whereas Rin's are dysfluent and separated. Neither of them are any less valuable than the other. The two of them are wearing ballroom gowns, Emmets is gothic inspired with a transparent shawl over the upper arm and torso, whereas Rin's is open backed and jade coloured. They have flowers in their hair that match their partner's dress. Emmet has light brown skin and his long, dark brown, straight hair is tied back. He has a mole above his lip. Rin is a pale, bald man with freckles on his cheeks and back. There is a rose tattoo on his neck which is just barely visible. The background is a dark teal colour and there are sparkles above them.

I once read an article saying that conversation is like a dance and wanted to draw something inspired by that for #ISAD2024. Luckily, I had the perfect duo for the job. #DefinePhoria #OC #Stammering #Stuttering

An illustration. It is sunrise. My original character, Rin, is kneeling on the end of a bed, entangled in phone wires. He is holding a phone up with one hand and the other is swirling some of the wire around a finger. His face is covered in smeared makeup as he looks behind him at the person sleeping next to him, the man the other end of the phone wire is leading to. There is mascara around his eyes where he has been crying, he is very distressed. He is wearing a nightgown and a semi-transparent robe with fur on the sleeves and bottom. He has pale skin, many freckles on his face and shoulders, and a long, curly, light brown wig on. The bedroom and Rin are coloured in warm, pink tones. All around the bedroom are phone wires, some in the background and some blurred in the foreground, Rin positioned between them.

An illustration of Rin and Emmet dancing on the ice in the middle of a dimly lit ice skating rink. Red lights are illuminating their bodies as they look at one another longingly, Rin with his hand on Emmet's cheek. They are wearing identical outfits: a glittery, red dress with a low cut back and ice skates to match. Emmet also has a leg brace on for support, his long hair is also blowing behind him. Rin is bald without his wig on. A red sash is threaded over their arms and shoulders, splaying out around them.

Another illustration of Rin and Emmet, standing at the top of a flight of stairs with a spotlight shining on them and water behind. They have their heads together as they weep, frozen mid dance. Rin is dressed in his disguise, freckles and tattoos covered up and a wig. They are both wearing cream dresses, Emmet's more alternative style. Going up the stairs are various objects: a bloody tissue, two mobile phones from around 2010, one with a cracked screen, two cracked wine glasses, an old digital camera from 2005 with a memory card, and two pairs of skates. One is made for figure skating, and the other, more damaged one, hockey. Behind them are other flights of stairs and different versions of themselves walking up them. Adult Emmet is walking with his pet goose, while adult Rin is walking upside down with a hockey stick. Child Rin is sat on his stairs, staring out into the abyss behind. Child Emmet is underwater, sat with his head in his hands, deep within the water. Bubbles surround them.

One final illustration of Rin and Emmet holding their pet goose, Sprinkles, who has a bow around her neck. They are sat down and looking forward into nothing dramatically, Emmet with a calm smile while Rin's is slightly panicky. The picture is in the style of those 80s portraits where people take a photo with their pet and then a larger image of the pet is inserted into the photo. I have done this with Sprinkles, except she has been drawn realistically instead of in my art style. Emmet has light brown skin and long, dark brown, straight hair. He has a mole above his lip and is wearing a gothic Christmas jumper with a black trench coat. Rin is a pale, bald man with freckles on his cheeks and shoulders. He has roses tattooed on his right arm and neck and is wearing a long, glittery, red dress, paired with Christmas pudding earrings. One of his front teeth is chipped. The background is black.

Various illustrations I drew while developing #DefinePhoria: A story following two stealth trans men who were childhood friends. After a one night stand years later, both unaware of this fact, they come to realise the true extent of how society's desire to hide them destroyed their lives #OC
