#ShalvisWeek2026 Day 7. Free Day! I wanted to draw them doing something fun and cute. We have it in our heads dancing is something Alvis enjoys. :3 Thank you guys for all of the support. I've never been a part of something like this before, and it was so fun to see everyone's work! #shalvis

A traditional drawing of Alvis and Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles. They're dancing together! Alvis is sort of being spun around, back to Shulk, who is holding both of his hands. They look happy just to be in each other's presence. (Shulk's little cowlick is in the shape of a heart. He must be happy!) A four pointed star swoops from behind and settles in front of them.

They're adorable.

#ShalvisWeek2026 Day 6. "Have we met before?" He doesn't remember you. To be fair, you barely remember yourself, who you used to be...Maybe that's why it hurts so much. #shalvis

A traditional drawing of Shulk and Alvis from Xenoblade Chronicles. Shulk is his older self from Future Redeemed. He stands stiffly, looking down at Alvis. His left hand grips his shoulder. It is slowly dawning on him that though this is the person he remembers, he's the only one who has those memories.

Alvis looks up at Shulk, one hand upon his chest. A relaxed, almost too familiar gesture for someone who has never met this man before. Have they met before? The pained look on Shulk's face says perhaps so, but he could be wrong...

#ShalvisWeek2026 It's Day 5 woo! Roleswap. "You should be afraid of me." "Should I?" I don't think Alvis is afraid at all, actually, Shulk. You're not very convincing even with the Monado pointed at him like this... #shalvis

A traditional drawing of Alvis and Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles. Their roles are reversed. Shulk, on the right, wears an outfit much more like Alvis' with the upside-down triangle patter on the back but with very "Shulk" additions that include a hood and sleeves reminiscent of his Future Connected outfit. He holds the Monado up to Alvis' neck, a scowl on his face.

Alvis stands with his hands up, elbows bent. His outfit includes a short sleeved jacket with a belt around the center, styled a bit like a yukata but not quite. He wears a turtleneck and the bottom on his jacket features three circles connected on a hinge, much like Shulk's normal outfit. Underneath, he wears a long sleeved, skin-tight black shirt. Alvis looks at Shulk, confused. Why is this guy holding the Monado up to him like this? Doesn't he know it can't hurt Homs? Amateur, really...

#ShalvisWeek2026 It's Day 4! Woo! Forced Proximity! Oh nooo it's raining, and we have to take shelter in a hollow tree. What ever will we doooo???? #shalvis

A traditional drawing of Shulk and Alvis from Xenoblade Chronicles. They're seated in a hollow tree, leaning up against one another. Alvis is very comfortable, eyes closed and relaxed. Shulk has his arm around him. He's blushing, staring at Alvis rather intently. Maybe he's trying not to wake him (if he's even asleep). Maybe he's just not used to being this close to someone...

#ShalvisWeek2026 Day 3. Angst. Even if you say that, will he believe you? You're not sure... #shalvis

A traditional drawing of Alvis from Xenoblade Chronicles. His expression is sad and confused. Tears fall from his eyes, though one is obscured by his hair. His left hand curls into his chest. Shulk's hand cups his right cheek. He asks, in disbelief, "Why won't you treat me like what I truly am?" the implication being that he isn't a person at all. Just an object to be utilized, of course.

A traditional drawing of Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles. He looks concerned but gentle. His left arm extends outward, matching where his hand would be in the previous image. His right hand is in a fist, not from anger but care. He says "Because you're more than a weapon to me..." in an attempt to reassure Alvis. He believes this wholeheartedly.

Day 2 of #ShalvisWeek2026 Modern AU, Memory A nighttime walk to the beach to watch the stars became the moment he fell in love. Based on a roleplay I got to see happen in real time between @eriktheartist.bsky.social and @tikibuns.bsky.social #shalvis

A traditional drawing of Shulk and Alvis from Xenoblade Chronicles. There are two panels. The left panel features Shulk. He stands in front of a wide railing. His long hair is flowing to the right in the breeze. He wears headphones around his neck and a pullover hoodie. His hands are in the front pocket. He stares, wide-eyed, blushing, almost in awe.

The right panel features Alvis. He leans against the railing, arms draped over it. He wears along coat and fuzzy mittens. He stares up and out at something we can't see, the stars above perhaps, lips parted as he happily explains all of the ones he can see. He's comfortable, at ease as the wind blows his hair back and toward the left panel. Text in the upper left corner says "I...think I love you." in a small, incomplete bubble, uncertain if they're spoken aloud or kept inside.

#ShalvisWeek2026 is here!!! Here's my #shalvis Day 1 art. Utilized prompts: Fantasy AU, "Do you trust me?", Stars They're running away together. From what? To where?

A traditional drawing of Shulk and Alvis from Xenoblade. They're dressed in conventional fantasy attire. Shulk wears a long sleeved tunic with a belt and hood, a sword at his hip. Alvis wears a capelet with fur around the neck. Shulk looks at Alvis, taking him by the shoulders and speaking to him sincerely as if to ask if he trusts him. Alvis holds one hand to his chest, looking at Shulk with a soft smile. Of course he trusts Shulk. There are small stars in the background.

Sometimes I draw Shulk sad because I can't imagine him NOT having inner turmoil.

A traditional sketch of Shulk from Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed. His arms are crossed, and he looks to the left. Cracks have formed on his skin. His expression is sad.

I draw Alvis like this by the way. Frequently.

A traditional sketch of Alvis from Xenoblade in a two piece bathing suit covered in stars and constellations. One arm is wrapped around his torso. The other is behind his back. His head is tilted to the side slightly, and he's smiling with a little blush.

I let the intrusive thoughts win and put Shulk Xenoblade in a cute sweater.

A traditional sketch of Shulk from Xenoblade in a cute sweater with both halter style and cold shoulder elements. The sleeves come from the center and make a cute bow-like design. The bottom of the sweater is asymmetrical, extending down over his right hip. A small necklace dangles around his neck. A chain belt drapes over the waist and downward. He looks displeased and has one hand on his hip. In the corner is a poorly drawn self-portrait of the artist as the "skiddaddle skidoodle" meme.

Old A art I still really like.

A traditional sketch of A from Xenoblade facing the viewer with a serious expression. She stands on one leg with the other bent upward, holding her blade in her right hand. Her left arm is bent across her upper body. She has a halo around her head.

Concept art for Allegory. Did this one around September 2025. #originalcharacter #dungeonsanddragons #oc

Concept art for a character named Allegory, a feminine presenting humanoid with light skin, sky blue medium length hair, and cyan eyes. They have a dark blue bow in their hair. Their outfit is reminiscent magical girl attire, including a sailor-style top and bow with a monogram "P" on the chest. They wear a long, grey, short-sleeved coat that has a dark blue bow in the back and a monogram "A" on the sleeve. Their skirt is made to look like paper and has the names "Bristle, Colette, Fable, Aden, Naiya, and Shura" written on the sides. They wear long, light blue boots. Their gloves, boots, and coat all have glowing cyan accents. They hold a staff with a glowing, cyan gemstone butterfly at the end.

The concept art shows that their back bow can convert into wings. There's also a small, cute drawing of their face beneath it. Their color palette is off to the side, consisting mostly of shades of blue.
