I don’t precisely know how to phrase this, and truly, I have too many things I would simply die to see in your wonderful style, so I can throw some potential inspiration out there:
1. (More THG adjacent but) I am so compelled by the fact that Lenore Dove, Lucy Gray, and Peeta all have a connection to the color orange … would you ever draw a Lenore Dove-centric piece with nods to LGB & P?
2. And then of course any scene with Haymitch … I simply love the way you illustrate him … particularly the way you show us scenes from the trilogy from his POV … 👀👀👀👀
3. Orrr maybe, more SOTR specific … Burdock (perhaps emerging from the mist in the woods as he does) and the Covey graves …
But honestly, I’ll gobble up anything you create with a spoon. A spoon, I tell you.
All very very very good suggestions!
BUT something people might not know about me is Burdock has been one of my absolute FAVORITE HG characters for YEARS now (when his name was revealed my reaction actually startled my friend I was with)
And in the epilogue Haymitch’s mentions him proudly touting baby Katniss around
I HAD to draw him proudly with both his little girls
Listen I know that none of us are huge Gale fans here
But I think we can acknowledge the tragedy of having one person you trust with everything you are, only to be complete strangers by the end
....I was crying over Yeti by Paris Paloma at 10 AM today can you tell?
I have come to the conclusion that my actual favorite trope is established couple who get forcefully separated and one or both of them have to go through hell to get back to one another
Bonus: Annie reassuring him about it post reunion
I was looking at my drawing I did of Finnick from a few days ago and thought the random stray hair highlights I added actually looked more like gray hairs. And then I couldn't shake the idea of (handsome, darling of The Capitol) Finnick going gray at 24 from all the stess, bad diet, lack of light, etc that he went through at the beginning of Mockingjay
I little while ago I drew what some of the Victors might have looked like when they won their games and made myself very sad in the process
I feel like we get so used to their adult versions we see in the series that we forget they were all children too.
!!!!MAJOR Trigger Warning!!!!
Blood and Gore ahead (I know it might not be a lot for some people, but it is for me, and that goes double since they're only kids)
Haymitch Abernathy- Victor of the 50th Hunger Games
Enobaria- Victor of the 62nd Hunger Games
Finnick Odair- Victor of the 65th Hunger Games
Annie Cresta- Victor of the 70th Hunger Games
Johanna Mason- Victor of the 71st Hunger Games
Handala (حنظلة) is a symbol of Palestinian resistance. He was created in 1969 by political cartoonist Naji al-Ali, critical of Israel as well as Arab regimes.
Handala is 10 years old, the age Naji was when he was forced to leave his home during the 1948 Nakba, and is always seen from his turned back. Today, Handala is still 10 years old. On the day Handala is able to return home, he will then grow up and be seen from the front.
Naji died on August 29, 1987, victim of an assassination. Naji lives on through Handala.
Since I officially have the first 20 chapters and a whole outline (more or less) written I figured I should probably let you all know about the comic I'm writing!
It's called Little Fawn It's a retelling of Snow White about the huntsman promising protect Snow from the Queen's wrath after almost killing her himself If you're a fan of stories about a tired/grumpy man accidentally adopting a goofy kid, this might be your vibe
The Main Characters:
Emil (AKA The Huntsman) When he’s summoned by the Queen and asked to kill her step daughter, Princess Snow, everything in Emil is screaming no, but he finds himself accepting the task against his own mind and heart. Emil is quiet and apprehensive of most people. He’s honest to a fault and always keeps to his word. He struggles endlessly with his guilt over almost killing Snow
Snow White: Snow is Crown Princess and beloved by all who know her. All except her step mother, Queen Ennlin, who hates how "her" subjects love Snow more than her and orders a huntsman to take care of it once and for all. Snow, like the Grimms Brother version, is only seven years old. She's is a very curious kid and has a special interest in animals. Especially spiders, frogs, rats, and birds (much to many's chagrin). She also has a knack for sneaking around and hiding (also to many's chagrin).
If you have any questions let me know!!
Another one of the Peeta moments that rot in my brain constantly is the scene in catching fire when Katniss and Finnick get stuck with the Jabberjays.
Peeta had his hands pressed against the force field, trying so so hard to be there for her and wanting so badly to protect her. And when it finally ended he held her, and rocked her, and let her hide her face in his arms, and protected her for as long as she needed him to and…..that’s just so ughhhh….so heartbreakingly sweet.
The amount of comfort Finnick and Annie must have had to bring each other over the years makes me weepy
Some people: The love story isn't the point of The Hunger Games series! The love story distracts people from the important messages about war and oppression!
Me: Actually, the love story is vital to the series because it sits at the heart of all the major themes.
Other people: Yeah! You're right! This series isn't a love story! It's a metaphor for those themes!
Me: 🤦♀️
Me: YOU DON'T GET IT EITHER!
These things are not mutually exclusive! The love story can be thematically relevant and a metaphor for philosophical concepts and still be a love story! Romance is not a dirty word! It's okay for a story to be about characters in love!

Hey realized I hadn’t mentioned it officially on here
But I’m now publishing a comic on Webtoon!
I know I’ve talked about it before but that was a WHILE ago so sorry for advertising again
It’s called Little Fawn. It’s a Snow White retelling about the huntsman deciding to risk himself and go with Snow White to protect her from both the queen and the forest. It’s centered around found family- especially between the huntsman and Snow who he becomes a father to. I’d like to say it’s very sweet and cute but it’s been pretty dark so far so be aware of that going in 🥲 (there will be a lot of light moments! But the start of Snow White isn’t exactly the cheeriest in any adaptation)
It’s officially up to 4 chapters as I’m writing this so please check it out if that sounds at all interesting!
