Xochilex, Dreaming Duelist @xochilex.bsky.social · Oct 17

Hello there!

I go by Xochilex, or Xochi for short. I'm an illustrator and motion designer and I mainly draw and post about whatever nerdy thing I'm currently into. I mostly post digital art, but I may also share some traditional art and my mini painting projects from time to time!

#xochiart

Illustration of Morrigan from Darkstalkers. She is wearing a black tube top with a shear top underneath. Her sleeves are also shear fabric. The moon shines behind her with unnatural pinks and purples. Her shiny green hair floats and covers much of the composition

Illustration of Yuriko from Magic: the Gathering. She stands triumphantly on a rooftop. The moon is behind her, with a silhouette of a tiger's head. The illustration plays with negative space, such that Yuriko's hair and clothes blends into the darkness of the background.

Illustration of a cyclops girl with a big horn growing from her forehead, above her single eye. She is wearing an off the shoulder crop top which blends into the soft color of the background.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 1h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I think this is it. Gonna take this on the road, find a visually suitable locale to shoot a video for this.

It's functionally identical to a thousand similar videos online but I don't care. This one is mine.

Bayonetta

#xochiart #bayonetta

Digital illustration of Bayonetta. The point-of-view/camera is low, looking up at Bayonetta. The illustration has a limited color palette, and parts of the background blend into the figure

Hey all 👋 my living situation has dramatically changed. I should be fine for a few months, but if you'd like to help me make - significantly increased - rent, then any change would be greatly appreciated.

WIP of a Sisay commission I'm working on

#xochiart #artWIP

Digital sketch. Cropped-in drawing of woman wearing a bikini top. She has dark hair braided in a ponytail.

The artwork is rough and sketchy, and it is in grey tones

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

🎃 Pumpkin Teapot 🎃- Waitlist FULL! @cloverteapot.bsky.social · 19h

- Everlasting -

a red haired woman with elf ears and dual colored wings stands in front of the universe. Her heart shines and breaks chains that bind her, the frames are ornamented like enlightened medieval manuscripts and lions and sparrows are in it. The motifs are the sun, amaranths, and feathers. She is kind faced and is smiling. Art artwork commission

oh btw if you guys liked Silent Hill f may I suggest Detention. It's by the same studio that made Devotion. It takes place during White Terror in Taiwan and has some really great horror elements from Taiwanese mythology.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

One of my childhood crushes <3 getting to paint her for this set was such a gift.
I've been the biggest fan of all the iterations of TMNT since the 90's, so working on this felt amazing!!
