Divine Ancestry is now up on Kickstarter! I was honoured to be asked to create the cover art for this celestial-themed zine, featuring 40+ incredible creators. Please go and support it if you can! ✨ www.kickstarter.com/projects/los...
A cropped preview of my cover art for the Divine Ancestry zine. My original character Quil, a non-binary figure with light skin, long red hair which has been bleached to blonde at the front, their left eye glowing gold, holds a blue-and-gold staff in front of them. Behind them is a stained glass window portraying an angelic wing. Text in the bottom right corner reads: Divine Ancestry.

They're standing on a precipice over a pale green sky, and tipping their hat while smoking a cigarette which is held in a crack in their face visor. Their hair is made of wires, and is a dark blue-green. Behind them, a pale green dragon with kirin-like features floats with a long mane drifting in the air.Artwork of Sydni, a femme blue fairy with long blue hair in a mullet style, antennae, wings like a blue morpho and a black bodysuit with gold trim.

That is reassuring to know haha! I also used to keep a 'cheat sheet' for myself with my characters' abilities but I fell out of the habit, I should really get back into it. And thank you! He's a satyr barbarian and it's one hell of an unexpected combo

Bexune Miku 🎶 The result of a suggestion from my Discord streams for me to draw my sona in a Miku-inspired look. I took some inspo from the Miku Expo 2026 design for the outfit! 🎨 #bexarttag
Artwork of my sona dressed in an outfit inspired by Hatsune Miku. They have long hair in two pigtails in a gradient from black to purple to teal, light skin, glasses, tusks, and a steampunk-inspired outfit with brown overalls, boots, a purple-and-teal tie, a matching skirt, and black puffy sleeves. Text in the backgrounds has my website URL plus 'Bex', 'Instant Download' and 'Voicebank Software'.

#WIPSnips September 30th - 'Guard' In which Quil is fuelled by spite. This will happen again #WritingPromps #WriteSky #SunderTheSky
“Your Majesty,” the guards said in unison, performing the Aldellian salute before dropping to their knees. When Quil did not move, torn between fear and spite, the black-haired captain said in a low and icy voice, “Kneel.”
Their body was ice, locked in a self-made stasis; they simply stared into the queen’s eyes, a maelstrom of emotion storming behind their own.
“I said kneel.”
The guard kicked Quil’s knees out from under them and they fell hard to the ground, almost striking their chin on the hard floor with their wrists cuffed behind their back. Swallowing back a curse, they gritted their teeth and bowed their head as the captain resumed his position beside them.

The Hanged Man (repost from 2022) Was going through some old art and found this piece I still really like! My tiefling sorcerer Esteem, going through some stuff. Just discovering he'll outlive everyone he knows and see the end of time, NBD 🤷 🎨 #bexarttag #D&D #OCsky
A monochrome image with pops of gold, featuring a tarot-style illustration of my D&D character Esteem, a tiefling sorcerer. He has long dark hair, six horns curling around each other with one crystallised at the front, a long fur-tipped tail, hooves, and a white tunic with dark trousers. He is falling through space, upside-down with his wrists and ankles bound with golden thread. Pieces of blue-tinted glass fall around him, and a piece of metal with the name 'Esteem' engraved into it. His glasses have falling from his face, and he looks fearful. Below him at the words: The Hanged Man.

No. 1 most defining game has to be Grandia. It's only now I'm replaying it that I'm realising just HOW much it defined me, the things I create, and the games I enjoy. Am I good at it? No, not even 20 years after my first playthrough - I get lost in every single dungeon. But it's an absolute DELIGHT

The Summit of Mt. Gulg (CW suicide) Been rotating this comic in my mind for years and my Patreon supporters voted to make it happen! Here's how Mt Gulg went in the #Brambleverse, and a love letter to one of my favourite scenes in the game 🎨 #bexarttag #FFXIVart #FFXIVSpoilers #Shadowbringers
FFXIV comic showing my Warrior of Light, Roscoe, a lalafell with long dark hair and all-black armour, kneeling on the ground at the top of Mt Gulg. Emet-Selch says to him, "What a disappointment you turned out to be. I placed my faith in you. Let myself believe that you could contain the light. But look at you now... halfway to becoming a monster." He kneels down and uses a gun to lift Roscoe's chin, saying "You still retain your form and your senses... but you have all but become a sin eater." In the background, Yuyuka, a blonde lalafell with horns, looks on in horror.Page 2 of the comic. The panels pan across images of the structures of Mt Gulg, the Crystal Exarch unconscious on the ground, Alphinaud and Thancred gritting their teeth, Alisaie and Y'shtola looking tense and horrified, and Yuyuka on the verge of tears. Emet-Selch continues, "Whether you will it or no, your mere existence will serve to engulf the world in Light. Those few left with the will to fight may rise up against you. But before your absolute might, they will quickly know despair. "There is no hope." "We are finished." "Mankind is finished!""

Roscoe puts a dagger to his own throat, saying, "No. I won't let that happen."Page 3 of the comic. Roscoe slits his own throat, with red blood spraying across the panel. Yuyuka runs forward with a scream, tears pouring down her face. A close-up of Roscoe's eyes shows them slowly closing as Emet-Selch says "I shall look forward to seeing you bring the world to its knees... hero."

D&D party commission for Omar! ✨ This is the biggest commission I've done to date, and was an interesting challenge because each player also wanted their own character individually, so the poses need to work together and solo. Thank you so much for trusting me with them!! 🎨 #bexarttag #VGenComm

Thread re: the Heroes of Faerun zine I contributed this art piece for this charity zine in 2024. Unfortunately, the zine has yet to ship, and I know there are customers who believe they have been scammed. I am not a mod on the project, but as an artist I didn't want to continue being silent on it

Behind them, Karlach, a red-skinned tiefling with black hair, holds an axe and smirks. Behind them in the dungeon, a robed skeleton wielding a sword runs towards them through a doorway.

He steeled himself, removing his hand from his face and looking up to meet the eyes of the person standing above him.

What's your favourite bible verse, wrong answers only
Dialogue from FFXIV Endwalker's quest 'Live, Die and Know' reading:

Lands that stretched on forever. Skies one could drown in. The heartbeat of nature, silent yet strong.

And admist it all a people. Beacons of light and life. Laughter that warmed my heart like naught else before.

They are my meaning and my purpose. My love.

In spite of...or perhaps because of this, I choose to believe.

In mankind's potential. In his ability to find a way forward.

So let there be no way back. From that temptation I sunder us.

No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise.

Henceforth, he shall walk.

An illustration originally made for a double-page spread, depicting the male Scion characters from FFXIV around a long table at the Last Stand restaurant. Estinien is drinking with a raised eyebrow at Alphinaud, who has his head in his hands. Urianger is on the ground, clearly drunk, while a concerned G'raha attends to him. Thancred stands smirking with one foot up on a stool.A close-up of the previous image with Thancred smirking at a drunken Urianger and G'raha looking concerned.A close-up of the previous image with Estinien raising an eyebrow at Alphinaud.

If you see this, share your sparkling/glittering art! 💖 The moment Sydni became the Witchlight Monarch ✨
My D&D character Sydni, a blue fairy with long blue hair and blue morpho wings, wearing a purple outfit with a loose skirt and butterfly motifs. They have a lute slung over their back and are holding their hat in one hand and waving at an invisible audience with the other. Behind them is a vague indication of a circus tent. Around them are glittering, sparkling lights.
