@super-perspicacia commissioned me for a couple of halo drawings. The first of which was Bant Eerin!! I can’t believe I hadn’t done her before.
I love her so.
I gave her a gold halo with a water ripple overlay for obvious reasons.
Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.
Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.
This person is the real deal. They were clearly trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?
//There needs to be more diversity in Trills and it got me thinking that black Trill spots might show up almost like vitiligo. I need more of this, okay? This needs to be a thing.Â
I made art and forgot to post it on tumblr even tho I made it so I could because the Van Helsing fandom is like…non existent on tumblr (for real, I only find art and fics on DA from like 2009)
