«I came out of the fog; a sleepy-eyed kid»

A lil sketch of Kanej hand-holding and hand-tracing based on a moment in Chapters 3 from the lovely @randomcat1832 's new fic: “With ne'er a fear of drowning” (here on ao3!!). Go read cause Cat's writing AND kanej is absolutely delightful! Hope you liked this <3 leave us a note/comment if you wish!!

Excerpt from the glorious fic It's Not You - It's The Microwave (here on ao3) by the absolute loveliest of people @anonniemousefics & @feelinglikecleopatra . This drawing is outright from a scene from this fic, so go read it if you haven't already to find out the context for this! an absolutely essential, heartwarming, fun, and joyful reading for any die hard kanej fan <3

+ close ups and WIPs here:

lil kanej sketch for y'all ✨ just so you know I'll be continuing inktober (which is just me drawing whatever SoC related thing I want on a somewhat consistent schedule posting every few days) for as long as I want, so buckle up for more novembre art~

Pirate Inej for y'all!! I shared this a while ago with some SoC friends and the incredible Liana (ao3) wrote a lil something based on it, and the headcanon that this is Inej nearing Ketterdam, coming back after some long long months, and she's just seen a certain someone through the spyglass waiting at the docks...🥰💜 you can read it here!! please go do so!!

edit: leigh liked on IG omg 🤧

how excited are we to see them all interact on screen and talk to each other and bicker and heist together 😭?!

And last but not least, my third kanej contribution to the @sixofcrowsbb , this was done for Joce's (@freshwaterseas) Pirates of the Caribbean AU, "Dead Men Don't Get Paid" on ao3 here !! 🏴‍☠️🗡️☠️

I'm so happy with the result, plus a POTC au is just genius!!! Also go check out @nopeemi 's artwork for this fic too here <3 I loved getting to draw for this particular au, so hope you guys like it too!!

This is my second SoC Big Bang 2022 @sixofcrowsbb piece, now for the oh so lovely Kanej Baby fic, written by Amy also known as the great @teacup-tyrant (ao3), & thank you to beta Joce @freshwaterseas too!!

link to the fic up there, it's such a good read! hope you like this one :) kanej baby fics are such a joy to read with their great balance of angst and fluffy moments and it was very cool to get to create for this fic <3

[Image ID: digital drawing of kanej with their baby; Kaz is overcome with emotion, he smiles at and holds a small child, Lei, his and Inej's daughter. Inej hugs them both and smiles contently. / End ID.]

This is my first SoC Big Bang 2022 @sixofcrowsbb piece for the incredible enby Kaz fic written by the lovely Amira (0363_ThisIsDifficult_5915 on ao3). click for better quality!

[Image ID: digital drawing in brown and yellow hues of Kaz and Inej standing in front of a big oak tree, with words written on its trunk: "Jordan Rietveld" and "Kaz Rietveld", along with some scratches. The light reflects bright from behind the tree as Kaz contemplates the writing on it. / End ID]

I had such a fun time working with Amira @0363thisisdifficult5915 who wrote and discussed concept ideas for the drawing with me and Ace @ace-in-a-shopping-cart who betaed, thank you both for a great experience <3 this was truly lovely to make, y'all should go read the fic cause it's absolutely beautiful and takes you on such a journey. link up on the title!

• @rarecrows-week - Day 1: NEW

inspired by the iconic Anne Hathaway picture! thanks to the BOTB people for all the encouragement on the making of this drawing :) this one's for you @feelinglikecleopatra <3

who else can't wait to see kit young and jack wolfe interact onscreen? 🥺

hope y'all like this one!! dedicated to the wesper crowd! 💥💜☀️

impulse posting! Kaz patching up Inej, ugh I love them!! this is my first time recording a digital drawing process, so hope you like it!

speedpaint:

There were a few technical difficulties and the video was cut halfway through the sketch. oops. I'm too busy and tired to re-do it honestly so I'm just gonna share it like this! The goal for this sketch was to do something quick, without using refs or taking breaks, in order to get a clean quick screen recording of the drawing. I love watching other artists' speedpaints so this was fun and cool to make myself!!

we literally got blessed with this casting!! jack wolfe supremacy yes indeed 💥💜☀️

I was part of the BOTB Winter Festival Exchange this year, and I made this for the lovely Burner @desidarling123 <3! hope you like it :')

This was also very much inspired by the hundred of fics out there showcasing Kaz & Inej's path towards healing and intimacy. fic writers, y'all are doing amazing!! :)

This is a bit of a re-draw of one of my entries for this year's @grishaversebigbang ! You can find it and the original version of this drawing here :)

hope you like it! check reblog for lil Wylan and Matthias HP AU sketch, and WIP :)
