sobs as I remember what my kit used to look like, before I sanded it all down to get rid of print lines that no one outside the MMCC would care about or notice 😭

Hey artists! Quote with your pink art :) 🌸💖✨

A digital illustration of two characters in armor standing on a grassy cliff edge overlooking a vast expanse of lowlands. A title in a dark font sits in the top left corner: "Fractal Alliances - Little Golden Age (1994-2006)." The title references a section in the Fractal Alliances anthology (which currently exists primarily as a very big outline).

The two characters are Ev Stark and Fin Heran. Ev, with short-cropped hair in this illustration, is in blue, red, and gray Aetherian armor. THey are also holding a standard-issue blaster, and have two hilts sticking out of their back holster (they're non-specific because they're Magically Concealed Weapon (MCW) hilts). Ev is standing behind Fin, mostly facing the valley, but they have their face turned to look over Fin's shoulder at him.

Fin is wearing standard medium-level Talkian armor, which comes in shades of brown and metallic gray, detailed with Talkian red. While Ev is in full armor, covered from the neck down, Fin's armor leaves his arms mostly bare except for arm bands and vambraces. He is holding a sword in one hand, which is lowered towards the ground, and in his raised hand there is a simple gray blaster. He has another sword strapped to his back. Fin's hair is also on fire, as it is prone to doing.

The color palette of this piece is a mix of purples, pinks, and oranges. It feels vaguely like a shot taken at sunset.

EFHA headshot refs ( ft. the guy that gives me a headache bc I can’t decide whether or not he should really be a part of this story ) #art #ocs #brokendimensions

A series of 6 digitally sketched headshots for characters for a prospective project called Escape From Hell’s Aisles (yes, the spelling of “aisle’s” is deliberate).

Riven: The first character is a blond white androgynous kid with bright teal eyes and a stern, determined expression. They are wearing a high-necked blue tunic with no sleeves.

Carric: The next character (to the right) is a purple-skinned Tartarun woman with several short horns and blue eyes. She looks vaguely worried about something. She is wearing a purple scarf and gray armor. There is a dark scar on her right cheek and above her eye.

Ambrose: The third character (down and to the left) is a dog man with brown fur, a big red flannel, and a pauldron on one shoulder.

“Dave:” The fourth character is a white, red (orange) haired man with green eyes and sideburns. He is wearing a blue tunic like the Riven’s, in addition to dark blue overalls.

Mable: The fifth character is a red-skinned woman with graying green hair and glowing green eyes. She is wearing some kind of shoulder holster, and red version of the long-sleeved tunic Dave wears.

“Will:” The last character is a brown man with long, curly black hair pulled into a high ponytail. He is wearing a mask that covers half his face. He has glowing red-purple eyes, and is wearing another kind of shoulder holster, in addition to shoulder pauldrons.

someday I want to go through and remake everything I put in my BFA portfolio back in 2021, but still pretty fond of this one, so it’ll be complicated feelings-wise for me to redo it 🥲 it’s a scene from FA: Finale that has since been scrapped, where amnesiac Fin uncovers his old board of memories

A digital illustration of a man with pointed ears and a devil’s tail pulling down vines and glowing white flowers from a big bulletin board in some kind of study. The board has Polaroid photos, blueprints, and notes stuck up all across it. There’s a big bookcase to the character’s right, and it has books, plants, boxes, and a glowing blue jar on it. Vines and flowers cover the floor.

a silly (and unfortunate) doodle about Ev and their two particular tormentors (Shas and Deis, who hate them for different reasons) #sketches #art #ocs

A sketch of three characters’ faces with arrows and notes denoting their relationship to each other. One is a masked figure with a gladiator-style crown, red markings, and flowy hair. He (Shas) has a placid, frustrated expression smile plastered on, and looks really annoyed. The middle character has orange stripes on their face and looks confused (Ev). The third character (Deis) is also wearing a mask and is looking at the middle character like he would watch them being torn apart into shreds, piece by piece, and find it entertaining.

The notes say that Ev hates Deis, but is TERRIFIED of Shas. Shas viscerally hates Ev. Deis has a rather toxic “affinity” of sorts for making Ev suffer. Another note points out Shas is plotting mass murder 24/7, and Deis is there to help—but only if it garners him more power. (And he’s in it for fun too, because he’s a massive sadist.) Meanwhile, Ev didn’t ask for any of this.

On the side there are notes about 2 other characters, Liarre and Garris, who aren’t shown. Liarre is also called a sadistic bastard, but for him is more about politics and being anti-Pantheon (essentially he’s an atheist in a world with proven and involved deities). Garris is noted as being in it for the clout, and to cause maximum damage to those she deems “lesser than.” They also fuck with Ev a lot.

TLS - sketch page: Sal Aldavis just realized I never posted this other sketch page I finished ages ago! It’s my favorite of that batch too lol Sal is based on a series of characters I used in an old iteration of Lycanthra, and he’s very fun. #art #sketches #oc #thelycanthrasyndicate

A digital art sketch page featuring a blonde, tan-skinned living android (basically a highly advanced robot with a soul) with a long thin tail and rabbit-like ears. He has a green bomber jacket, a red blaster at each hip, and combat boots with green details and laces. He is smoking a joint. The whole theme of the page is green.

Notes across the page talk about how Sal came to the Lycanthra Syneicate as a refugee and was reached from a branch of the Archian Mind realer Guild. It talks about his siblings (of choice) too, and how he forms a sub-group called the Salvaged Remnants (which is how he got his name, not the other way around). The Remnants later become a useful surveillance group and local ally to Lycanthra, which they consider their parent organization.

Another note also talks about how Sal revolutionizes (Lycanthra-made) living android body types, configuration types, and related sex prosthetics. Voaden knows him as the leader of the Remnants, but any LA who gets a new body mod after he starts working for Lycanthra knows him as the guy who figured out how to make, model, and personalize body frames, personal code, and sex prosthetics (for those who want them) on a newly advanced level.

A nice picture of a miniature art piece done in acrylic marker. It featured a soft-featured black cat against an abstract background of golds and greens. The cat looks a. Little otherworldly or unsettling, and it’s cute.

if I have to experience religious trauma, then the rest of you do too #art #illustration #religioustrauma

A full 17x11” digital canvas full of drawings of a black silhouette figure having some Bad Times, and also hand-written notes. There are a couple of spears and a drawing of the figure (me) being impaled on one. A note below this impalement says “I never asked to be hunted” and the one above it talks about eradication, which is a reference to several right-wing politicians’ use of the term in regards to trans people.

There are two different versions of the figure curled in the fetal position. In one, they are sleeping and hugging their knees to their chest peacefully. A note wrapping around their back says “sometimes I want to sleep for a year.” In the other version, facing the opposite way, their eyes are wide-open as they are touched not un-gently by glowing white hands. Around this one is a longer note about being afraid of human touch as well as craving it, and how physical contact was used to represent pain, shame, and guilt in the figure’s past.

There is a drawing of the figure’s face being held more tenderly, with the caption “I just want to be held.”

In one corner there is a phrase scrawled in big letters that reads “IS THIS FUN FOR YOU?” (asking God, not the viewer).

In the corner below that, there are two copies of the same figure, inverted, each with little red devil’s horns and tails, but holding different flowers. Theres a bit written here about being unable to be saved by grace.

There’s more to the piece than even this, but this is the gist. The color scheme is all reds, oranges, and black.

I really want to get around to reworking parts of this illustration series I did back in college (c. 2023), especially this one with most of the FA gang present. Just haven’t gotten around to it yet. #art #oldart #ocs

A digital painting with hard lines and minimal blending featuring several cabbages gathered in a large circular atrium filled with raised garden beds, comfy sitting areas, and a holoprojector table. The color palette is warm and vibrant, and every character is in unusually relaxed clothing—just hanging out, enjoying each other’s company instead of carrying on with a political role.

a quick Thelia and Ev piece I might come back to a tweak some more, idk yet Ev ends up being one of few people she can really break down with, because they both share the rare trauma of being child soliders turned into unwilling celebrities. #ocs #art #digitalart

A digital painting of two characters sitting together on a dark balcony edge, a warm glow coming up from below them. The character on the right, Ev, is holding the smaller one on the left, Thelia, as she holds her knees to her chest.

Above them, part of the lyrics to Plivia Rodrigo’s “teenage dream” are displayed: “They all say that ‘It gets better the more you grow’, yeah it gets better, but what if I don’t?”

Fractal Alliances - refs - full cast the full cast sheet (minus Talis) and height chart!! #oc #refsheet #art

A character height chart featuring 8 of the 10 characters I just finished posting about, except for Talis Errison and the Hackerie twins. It goes in order from left to right, shortest to tallest. Order and heights: Thelia Sparkes, 5'4"; Ev Stark, 5'9"; Fin Heran, 6'1"; Shire Paloran, 6'2"; Ameria and Alkaline Aviligne, 6'11"; Hirosea Chirrell, 7'; Aviera Lance, 7'5".

There are also heights of other minor or supporting characters scattered throughout the page.

Abbreviated character descriptions:

Thelia Sparkes: a short Tartarun trans woman with an orange and blue color palette, dark blue hair, a styled tail, and symbolic markings.

Ev Stark: a tan near-human with a round face, multicolored hair (brown, white, orange), and dark painted armor.

Finlay Heran: a tan Tartarun trans man wearing a black fictional band tee and lower body armor. Short brown hair, bright white eyes, tattoos, freckles, pointed “devil” tail. Holding a dagger.

Shire Paloran: a brown Tartarun man with magic blue hair and a matching tail plume. He is clad in heavy paladin-like armor and standing with a broadsword.

Ameria and Alkaline Aviligne: identical (and intersex) twins with reddish tan skin, darkened hair, and practical clothing (though Al does have a bit of extra flair). Longer faces, strong bone structure, both have twin tails with many fins—and also tattoos. Lots of tattoos.

Hirosea Chirrell: a tall, broad, Tartarun man with brown skin, long ears, and a wide smile. He is wearing a long green tunic and structured metal knee braces.

Aviera Lance: a strong, armored Tartarun woman with thick, dark brown hair, deep brown skin, and four arms and ears. She is wielding fire magic and a glowing ceremonial spear.

Fractal Alliances - refs - 10 Aviera Lance, Queen of Alcairo and the most recent Daughter in a lineage of powerful Shade-Tartarun women character thread! /1 #oc #refsheet #art

A character reference for a strong, armored Tartarun woman with four arms and four canine-like ears. She has warm brown skin and dark, thick brown hair swept over her shoulder in a ponytail. She also has firm golden eyes, a broad and ridged nose, and stern, plump lips usually curved in a perpetual frown. Her fluffy ears are pierced in several places, and this is the only ornamentation on her person besides a band on her tail.

Her armor is well-fitted and practical, covering her shoulders, torso, calves, and hips. It's implied in her design that she values modesty (and PPE. Glares at the Talkians) on a social level, as most of her skin is fully covered and her tasset skirts cover much of her uppers legs and waist. She is standing with a glowing magical spear, etched with neon blue designs of magic and traditional magical symbology.

Most of her notes are transcribed in the thread, except for: the bit about her owning an exuberant amount of knives, her coming from a long line of powerful Shade and Tartarun women, the bit about her also wielding both Hellfire and Shade magicks, the bit about her punching Councilman Deis in the face (twice), and the bit about her strong connection to the Gardens of He'tara and the goddess Heathera/He'tara.

Fractal Alliances - refs - 09 Hirosea “Hiro” Chirrel, youngest son of the royal Ialuan family that controls Trivaal and other remnants of the ancient Ialuan Empire. character thread! /1 #oc #refsheet #art

A character reference for a broad, stocky, grinning Tartarun man with brown skin, short curly hair (black), and patterned, well-made clothing. He has his arms behind his back and is standing at parade rest as he grins off to the side. He has a round face with soft features and a broad nose.

His pattered, warm green shirt has a wrap-around waist and a tied blue belt, and he has sturdy metal knee braces from a war-time injury. He also wears a round pendant necklace with a purple rune signifying his devoting to the goddess of Prophecy, Ialu.

Most of his notes are transcribed in the thread, except for the bits about him being best friends with Fin, Al, and Ameria; the bit about him always knowing more than he lets on, the bit about him being an active Ialu and Lio-teras worshipper, the bit about him loving giant cats and carnivorous plants, and being his brother Seah'ka's science buddy.

Fractal Alliances - refs - 08 Ameria Avilgine, the other twin-King of Mercisha, and the authoritative legislator counterpart to her “airhead” brother. character thread! /1 #oc #refsheet #art

A character reference for a tall, broad-shouldered, intersex Tartarun woman who looks a lot like Al. The fins on her tail are smaller, and her hair is longer, and her features are barely softer than his. She has freckles and green tattoos, and is shown wearing practical red combat pants, armored boots, and a knife at her hip.

Like him, she has pink eyes and short, pointed ears. She isn't smiling, and generally tends to do less of that than he does. While his pose is more open and showy, hers is firm and closed off, her feet planted and her arms crossed.

Most of her notes have been transcribed in the thread, except for the bit about her being a master illusionist and an adept MMA fighter, the note about her hating liars almost as much as Fin Heran does, and the bit about her almost refusing to split the throne with her brother (she wanted nothing to do with it), but ultimately choosing to stay and help Al.

Fractal Alliances - refs - 07 Alkaline “Al” Avilgine, twin-King of Mercisha, and resident “airhead nepo baby”* (*neither of those things are quite true ;) ) character thread! /1 #oc #refsheet #art

A character reference for a tall, two-tailed, intersex Tartarun man with reddish-tan skin, lots of tattoos on his visible skin, short hair, and lots of jewelry. He has dark red hair, pink facial markings, and a smattering of scars.

He is dressed in a cream-colored sleeveless shirt with a high neckline (and likely an open back), as well as tight red pants, a non-specific black harness covering each hip, sturdy boots, and wrist wraps.

He has a long, angular face; a winning, charismatic smile; and short, pointed ears. He also wears a thin, sheer shawl thing that rests more around his elbows than over himself. His twin tails have many triangular fins and pointed ends.

Most of his notes have been transcribed in the thread, except for the bit about his messy love life, the bit about his being a spymaster with ranging expertise in various forms of combat, and the bit about him playing "airhead" for the press to let his sister do her thing and actually get stuff done (the media focuses more on him making a fool of himself).

/2 version with ALT TEXT (bc for some reason it didn’t stop me form posting before I added it):

A character reference page for a Tartarun man with brown skin, blue markings, long ears, and glowing blue eyes. He has a long face with rounded features, and a thin nose. Horns of varying size protrude from his forehead and along his scalp.

He is wearing heavy metal armor that looks to be a few centuries out of date, but is well-cared for (a modified note says it was his dad's). The armor set includes a thick chest plate, light knee protectors, a torn and tattered blue armored skirt (sort of tassets but not really), plated boots, hip plates, pauldrons, and elbow guards. He is also standing with a modified broadsword, which a label says his mother used to kill his dad with.

Most of his relevant notes have been transcribed in the thread.

Fractal Alliances - refs - 04 Talks Errison, Emperak (second in command to the Emperor) of Aetheria, and experienced Vanguard soldier character thread! /1 #oc #refsheet #art

A character ref page depicting a black Aetherian trans man with flowy, magical teal hair, curling blue-green ram-style horns, and sturdy blue-gray armor. He has a sharp, long face, bags around his eyes, and a faint, tight-lipped smile.

He has several blue hologram screens floating around his head and his raised wrist, and is decked out in multiple Aetherian corps' armor (which he's not allowed to do, but does anyway). He has a blaster on one hip and what looks like a sword hilt on the other. His armor is marked with scrapes and weld marks, as well as some personalized paint marks.

He has glowing golden eyes and patchy vitiligo (non-symmetrical).

Most of the notes on his page have been transcribed below except for the bit about him taking personal offense to how the Aetherian colors clash with his own, the part about his transition taking place in multiple parts and times, his nervous habit of wrapping his tail around things, the note about him fighting dirty, and some notes about his magical skill (great shielder, fantastic teleportation skills (eventually), master combat mage).
