For @sansebastinae and @boisinnot, my fellow saint seb truthers :)
+ the usual
Yayyyy finished a drawing! Haha only took me...2 weeks. I kept going back and forth on whether I could finish it tonight, and I really wasn't going to. But then I looked at the unfinished version on a different screen and was like oh? Not too bad actually?? So I finished it :) First of all, ofc, here is the process. Kinda weird seeing it for smth like this, it makes me feel like I'm the painter in rennaisance au, not Mark dhjfkf
Ah I was gonna draw a silly renaissance au comic to accompany this(read: lighten the mood), but it's 5 am and I've still not really drafted it well, so! I'd like to finish it at some point bcs I wanna draw more chibi comics, but when I finish smth, I can't help but immediately want to post it, so part 2 will have to wait. I'll show you the outline though so you can at least imagine 😭
^ So many renaissance and beyond paintings of Saint Sebastian are always the most horny thing ever. Like pre/early rennaisance, yeah he was naked and all that, but they were pretty chaste, and uhhhhh suffering?? Well the newer paintings are suffering, but in a different way, if you know what I mean.
So I feel like Mark's the type to be overly pedantic about it, and refuses to make borderline porn of a saint, I mean, god forbid, Seb!!! But then he just. Does anyways. Because he can't control his lust for Seb even when drawing him half dead. I just imagine him holding the paintbrush in a death grip like "must not be horny. Must not draw him sexy. Must make him chaste." And then he ends up with the one seen above. Seb is all smug about it. "Wow you'd wanna fuck me even while I'm all bloody and dying? 🥺"
Mark: "oh I'll make you bloody, alright."
But god so funny to imagine Seb doing all these different slutty poses, like arching his back as much as possible, the cloth nearly falling off at all times, etc etc. And Mark finally lands on this pose bcs he hopes the suffering will outweigh the horny. It doesn't. Also Seb is genuinely serious once he actually gets into the pose, focus mode on. And honestly that's even worse for Mark, bcs it's so much more arousing to see Seb in his element, focused. Tbf I think Seb could be drinking water, and Mark would still find some way to sexualize it. Don't look at his sketches!! They're just filled with Seb doing all kinds of random activities.
Also! Here is the painting I referenced this off of, must give credit where credit is due ofc
The Dying St. Sebastian by François Fabre
Also this isn't really relevant in the context of this drawing specifically. But I looked thru a bunch of Saint Sebastian paintings while trying to find one I could reference, and I came across this middle ages one that actually looks so much like boy king seb 😭 I guess it really is meant to be!
St Sebastian between St Roch and St Peter by Pietro Perugino
Lmao but do you see the difference between early rennaisance and later work???

can i just say the mild discourse over the concept of found family where some people just use it to claim two characters are adoptive siblings so you cant ship them anymore (when the characters have no such relationship in the canon, its all fanon) is really funny to me now considering one of my earliest fanon decisions as a little baby was claiming that sirica and knuckle joe from the kirby anime were actually siblings so shipping them was bad, because i got pissed that a lot of sirica art was ship art with him (or kink art but thats beside my point) and i didnt realize it was bc i had a baby gay crush on her so i was like “oh i must think this sucks because…. theyre siblings actually!” and thats the canon ive rolled with in my head to this day. but people are doing that as adults just because they dont wanna go “this doesnt fit my hcs”

yknooooowwww its been so instilled in me by irl injustices (read:kids in school being meanies) & my online warrior cat community days to expect anything i share to get stolen, and ive gotten over it for fanart (evidently) but im still really reluctant to share any OC stuff. but im wondering if i should, or even just start telling more people about my ocs in private chats (which i usually totally avoid because im sooo afraid of being cringe to people). and while yeah ive learned to not care so much with my other interests (tho anime took a good few years to admit that i liked it to myself) its a lot harder with my ocs because they tend to be so personal. which is just kinda what happens with ocs to me. so yeah idk. im just thinkin about it
