Been in a serious Portal mood ever since Alive & Kicking came out at the end of last month

the sonas can have a little bit of monstrous yelling as a treat

Here's the reference sheet for Roque! He kind of has a dirtbag skater vibe but it actually super chill and protective of his crew. Very excited to see more of him in the future!

a reference sheet for the quoted character. It is laid out like a top down view of wooden table with a photograph of the character in the center. next to him is several squares showing the color pallete for him. To the right of the photo is a torn piece of paper that reads "Roque (roak), Species: Jerboa He/Him likes: loud electronic music" and below that is a full sized version of his necklace. To the left of the photo is a tech deck sized skateboard showing the underside with a green and black decal of his name Rouqe. below that is 4 Hit Clips with the album covers for The Fat of the Land by Prodigy, Venom by Wargasm, MG Ultra by Machine Girl and Psychowarrior MG Ultra X by Machine Girl.

Also, here's the full version of the icon I did! I'm weirdly proud of it 👉👈

A digital drawing of an anthro salamander girl with a half broken mask covering her right eye. The mask is a black screen with many cracks on the surface and a glowing green eye displayed on it with scan lines going through it. It also has three metal fins coming out the side emitting wavy green holograms to resemble young salamander fins. She has pink skin and purple hair which is pulled into a bun on top of her head. She has a green shine over her uncovered eye. She is also wearing a blue body suit with green lines

Also, this will be the introduction of my ratboy sona Roq! He is a Jerboa who listens to grindcore and punk rock. Hopefully I will have a reference sheet ready before the event 🤞

a full body image of a rat fursona with off-white fur and long ears. he has a long tail and digitigrade legs. He is wearing a black t-shirt and dark grayish blue jeans with cargo pockets. He has a neon green belt, sweatband (on his right wrist) and armband with silver spikes on it. he is also wearing a silver chain necklace with spikes hanging from it and a heart at the center, also with spikes on it. His eyes are completely black save for the light reflections to look like pupils. The background is a black and white water pattern

But if I'm allowed to be a lil pretentious on my own profile, I think the janky platforming controls actually worked for me and gave the world an edge, like every area was hostile to you and didn't care if you slipped off and you had to painfully fight back against the level itself.

the level "Machinations" from American McGee's Alice. It is the inside of a building with large grey brick walls holding several large gear and wheels of a clock arranged into a platforming sequence.

Zayfia @conifer.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

The gameplay is a bit simplistic, basic platforming with strange physics and janky 3rd person combat built in the Quake 3 engine which makes it feel more like a shooter than anything else. Enjoyable loop that lends itself to weapon experimentation but not the deepest mechanically.

a gameplay screenshot of the game showing Alice holding a bird shaped croquet mallet facing several human sized ants in old french style military uniforms. the scene is in a dimly lit foggy garden at miniature scale

Speaking of the environments, they are absurd in the best ways. Several background have large floating objects flying close to the stage, many levels have nonsensical geometry and pathways and every place has an opressive atmosphere.

Plus setting real life Alice in an asylum and then having elements of Wonderland resemble the asylum of her real life gives the story more emotional weight with just the environment.

I just finished American McGee's Alice and absolutely loved it.

the key art for the 2000 PC game American McGee's Alice. It is a grey frame in the shape of a heart with two figures inside, Alice and the Cheshire Cat. The cat has visible bones under his tight skin, a large hoop ear ring in his right ear and a large bloodstained toothy grin. Alice is in a blue dress and a white but bloodstained apron with two alchemical symbols on the pockets. She is holding a bloody knife but is in a reserved pose.

was about to fall asleep when I saw this thing and did this quick doodle on my phone before going back to bed. Used it as an excuse to attempt a lineless approach as well as backlighting and I kinda like how it turned out

a simplistic doodle in a phone notes app of the creature above. It is from a slightly turned angle to see its neck and head better as well as the long arm proportions.

Some kind of freak that appeared to me during my period of insomnia last year.

a green-skinned creature standing among several suspended strands of film reel. It is holding the two strands closest to the viewer as if its coming towards them and is illuminated from behind by a pinkish light. The creature is somewhat amphibious looking with webbed feet, three-fingered claw-like hands and webbing under its arms. It has large black oval eyes that appear hollow and a lighter green mohawk. It has a sinister grin showing its bright white teeth as it looks towards the viewer. It's arms are extremely long and bent in such a way to to be pulling the two strands apart to create an opening. The arms are approximately twice the length of its legs and its shoulders are pointed slightly upwards to imply a hunched posture.

Fanart of @lexuallyactive.nekoweb.org's sona with Lolbit since I like her #FnaF videos a lot. I now know more about Lolbit's eyebrows than I ever thought I would lmao

A digital pencil style drawing of Ash, an anthro wolf girl, back to back and locking an arm with Lolbit, an animatronic fox. Both are holding up peace signs with their other hands.

Ash has grey fur and bluish gray hair and is wearing black torn pants, black fingerless gloves and a multicolored hoodie. She also has several earrings, one of which is an industrial arrow shaped one through the whole ear.

Lolbit is white and orange with a purple bowtie and purple cheeks. They have grey and white plates for most of their body and a large speaker on their chest.

Day 6: Lagoon!! Another idea that was better on paper before I had to actually decide on colors and draw the kelp. Maybe someday I'll revist some of these in the future when I have more time. #brushweek2025

A redraw of my character Nova. She is now wearing a black wetsuit with gold colored shoulders, has sea green hair and pink skin, and the mask now resembles the eyes of a goldfish. The fins on the tail are now a solid golden fish tail with scales along it. The bolt on the mask has been replaced with a sea shell and the bottom jaw is a sand texture. The fins from the mask are replaced with cartoonish kelp fronds.

Merry Day 5 of Brush Week! Time to be a wretched beast! For real I'm quite happy with how this ended up after all, though the color pallete was tricky. #brushweek2025

a redraw of my character Nova. She is now wearing a dark grey t-shirt with tattered sleeves and a skull on it under a maroon vest. She is also wearing dark blue jeans as well. Her skin is light grey and her hair and scales are red. Her mask fins are replaced with two curved horns that are both on fire, as well as her tail fin. The edge of the mask is rimmed with studs and the teeth are now pointed. The eyes of the mask are angled jagged lightning bolt shapes and the bolt for the jaw is now a pointed skull.

Day Four!! Clean Brush time!!! Really struggled with what to do with this one until I played a lot of PowerWash 2 one night and now its one of my favorites. #brushweek2025

a redraw of my character Nova. She is now wearing a blue jumpsuit reminiscent of the suit from PowerWash Simulator 2 that is baggier than her normal body suit. There is a black and white belt across the middle and two black straps connecting to a gray backpack. On one strap is a pressure gauge and the other is a rectangle for an ID. She has bright pink hair this time and the fins are made of a shimmery water. The mask is hollow and half filled with water and sitting on the water is a yellow rubber duck.

Day 3: Garden! This was such a cool idea in my head until I realized how many plants I had to draw lmao. Still think it came out okay so I hope you like it! #brushweek2025

a redraw of my character Nova. She is now wearing a yellow t-shirt under blue overalls. Her hair and scales on her tail are bright green. The fins on her mask are replaced by trellises growing single stemmed flowers on each. Inside her domed mask is a terrarium with two succulents and a cactus. The bottom jaw is made to look like a wooden fence.

Day 2: Plush Brush!! Disregarded the color pallete in order to just do a plushie of Nova but I hope you like it! #brushweek2025

a redraw of my sona Nova as a plushie. It uses the same base as the quoted post. She has her original colors of light blue bodysuit, pink skin, purple hair and a mask with a black domed screen for a face and silver metallic jaw underneath. This time the green lines on the suit are segmented like stitches, the green fins on the mask and tail are opaque and have a slight fuzz to them like felt, there are threded lines attaching her arms to her torso and her feet to her legs, several cream-colored latches sewn across her body and the bolt on her mask is replaced by a button

sharing these too because I still really like how spooky they look

the same piece as the original post except there is no shading or shapes inside the mouth instead having completely blank white leaking out of the face

the same piece as before except the eyes, entire inside of the mouth and leaking liquid are digitally colored solid black making it look unnaturally dark
