Character Art & Fan Art

A lesbian couple are singing into a purple karaoke microphone - The woman on the left has a messy 80's perm with her hair dyed in a dark red shade, a blue cut-off tshirt and bright coloured pink and blue eye make up and blush, her lipstic matches her hair. She has large blue hoop earrings and plastic bangles in blue and orange on her wrist. The women on the right has short cropped bleach-blonde hair, minimal make up and wears a black leather jacket with rolled up sleeves and pin badges (I'll reference real badges from the Notts queer archive when I draw them in more detail and will run them past you in advance) and a white tshirt underneath. She has a ring on her pinky of the hand holding the microphone. They are lit from behind with a halo of pinky-orange and blue light giving the impression of a neon-lit enviornment.
