7 in the morning two weeks after her birthday is maybe not the optimal time to post the art I did for International Brisket Day™, but I busted my ass working on this, I didn't even have a Cohost account at the time, and she was really important to me figuring out my gender, so here's the cute yo-yo girl who helped me stop running from who I am and got me to finally settle down in the town inside me 💙²
In hindsight I maybe should have had the lighting come from the top right and not the top left since that part wound up kinda empty? I could probably fix it since that effect was done digitally rather than being an innate part of the original pencil drawing, but maybe I can save that revision for next year or something 🤔 There are a couple other things to fix too, though, so maybe I'll tweak it before then...
(Also, props to whoever can recognize what I based her pose on~)
