Robinnygrenart - Robin Nygren Hiltunen

And… done just past the last sec.

This is a remake of a Valentine’s Day-Special from… 2022? Damn. How fast time flies when you cry alone.

But yeah, last sec. So if you find any kind of error (other than the overall art style itself), probably why and if you want to be a saint, please let me know!

And yet another Saturday-upload that was planned as a Friday. And the one thing this week that was planned for a set deadline and didn’t actually meet it.

But last year I did a random Winter-Max-thing and I thought it was fun how much I got right with the release of Double Exposure. That green jacket (even if a lot less detailed, I had just discovered my interest in fashion), those yellow-ish gloves, the overall winter-theme and cosy forest.

Not the scarf tho, and she apparently still kept the sweatshirt… which she only uses under the jacket… so a LOT of layers to keep herself warm. I did plan to make the hat yellow as well to match the glow but thought it would be fun for her to just borrow Chloe’s blue one.

But yeah, just me once again wondering how I became a gardener and not a professional… concept artist? Brainstormer? Coffeemaker? Chair? IF I HAD A COIN for every random thing I find myself predicting to my interests, I could buy myself a singular chocolate bar.

The official sequel to that one post. It got very popular and I thought I would share the "answer" I found to my original "question".

The original comic is about growing up aneurotypical (specifically I have autism and ADHD among other things, e.g. being LGBT) in a world not made for that, and my profound feelings of alienation as a result.

Whether you share those specific problems or not, I am sincerely happy if it resonated with you and humbled that it meant something to so many people.

A popular addition to the post was "you will find your people". I think it is absolutely true that you can and will find people willing to support you and love you for who you are - I have, and their support made much of my growth possible (as well as therapy). I am grateful to the artist that made that addition and think it is important.

But I wanted to make this because to me, it was important to learn the message that you are allowed to exist as yourself, even if you were to never find a single other person who accepts you. You do not need the validation of others. Even if you feel like you were somehow made wrong, or will never fit in with anyone else, you have the right to exist.

Live authentically for yourself, and not for others. Pursue your passions.

It is intentional that the person in the comic never fully regains their color. I will never be the untraumatized child I once was. But that doesn't mean life is not worth living.

I love you, and I hope you try to live as you are.

I guess I think about the afterlife a lot. And it just hit me that why do we assume it’s just a skeleton in a robe? Does it have to look human just to make sure we can perceive it?

This was supposed to be the last of 2023 but… I forgot, since the first thing of 2023 (that’s still up) was also Thor so “tie it all together”. But here he is.

Another one of my “One off Pin-ups” for whenever I just want to draw some Marvel without any deeper meaning and if you have a character you want to see, or one you think I have to update, let me know :D maybe I can dare to look at comments or just send a message.

How Crimes of Grindelwald should have ended

My friend requested an Ant-Man. But I assume he meant Scott… and the MCU-version. But I felt classic Hank and his questionable stability was more in line with my stuff and my own selfish interests.

To make sure it doesn't get to much of the same things, name the next thing I should draw from. You could just name the francise and I can pull one of my hundred ideas from my notes. You could name a specific character I maybe haven't done in a while. You could dare to say something new and hope I know what it is!
