Pride Month: Rune (Genderqueer)

Description

In celebration of Pride Month, I wanted to do something fun, challenging, and artsy. Largely taking inspiration from :iconwooled:'s Pride Month artwork, I wanted to do an art piece of my characters using only the colors in the pride flags that apply to each character.

I'm not really going in any particular order, nor am I following the theme of specific days in Pride Month, nor do I even have characters that can represent each day in Pride Month. I'm mostly just drawing them as I get inspired to do so.

Doing a slightly different format for this one. For the last few art pieces I tried to include the pride flag in the artwork, but for this one I decided to be a bit more experimental and creative. I had a very specific image in mind for this and decided to focus on the eyes of this character. I wanted to see how detailed I could get using only the three colors in the genderqueer flag. Needless to say it was a challenge. Trying to make light and shadow using only these three colors was really difficult! But I'm really happy with how it came out.

This is Rune. Their skin color is actually a green tint, so the green in the genderqueer flag works well (their hair is also actually a darker green-brown, but I decided to use the purple for that). Like Veil, I've drawn them before for another art challenge. And also like Veil, they don't really have a distinct gender. As I've explained in a previous artwork, Rune and their race have chameleon-like abilities and can shift their form to become different races and species. They also have a tendency to be very androgynous, often biologically, and many don't identify with a single gender.

Rune is a character who I'd like to one day bring back, since I really like them a lot. For some reason in this artwork I decided to give them freckles, even though I don't normally draw freckles on the character. Maybe I'll add that into their design? I don't know, I thought it looked cute here.
