I spun two wheels and Terrya came up twice, and ppl on tumblr voted for her human form to pop up! Double the Terrya, double the cuteness! Too much for one post (1/2) #TearsofXivo #art #3dart #digitalart #Ocsky

Terrya from Tears of Xivo, instead of her usual outfit she's in an one piece swim suit with a tropical island design. She stands, leaning to the left, her left hand on her hip and saluting the viewer with her right hand. Her human form is next to her, mirroring her pose in a two piece bikini that is blue and green. Original Terrya has her wings closed and wraps her tail around the arm of her human counterpart. They both smile at the viewer with bright expressions. It's a sunny day where they stand in front of beach chairs and umbrellas. Next to them is a life saver flotation device.

The angle changes to show their backsides and the water park they're about to enjoy! A large pool and colorful waterslides await.

Original Terrya gets into a pool ring and starts to go down a pink waterslide as her human counterpart waves her on. Terrya kicks her feet up in excitement.

Katrina kneels in front of lounge chair with sand on her legs and butt. Artelia is sitting there, drinking something. With her tail she holds up a cup for Katrina who drinks from the straw as she looks up to her. Katrina lightly touches the tip of Artelia's tail.

All these shades of gray; a photoshoot with Jazza from #TearsofXivo #3dart #art #digitalart (1/3)

Jazza walks down concrete stairs in a pair of stiletto high heels and white stockings. There are silver chains that keep the footwear in place and silver spikes where the toes meet. The crystallization on Jazza's skin pokes through her stockings.

The camera changes to show us a front full-body shot of Jazza. Instead of her usual outfit, she's wearing the previously mentioned stockings and high heels, along with a black garter belt, white lacy bra, long black lace gloves, a white lacy thong, and a black choker with gold rings. Jazza walks down the stairs with her left hand on her hip and her right resting on her chest. There is light coming through on the left side, the right is partially in darkness, Jazza is in the middle. She has a displeased expression on her face.
