I haven’t started the whole “get your moles checked every year” routine yet, but I probably should 💀 Especially because I still get new ones occasionally – just had one of those “where did YOU come from??” moments a couple weeks ago lmao. You’d think at 26 I’d be done spawning new ones!

Okay, less brainrot meme comment:

I really love watching artists redraw their sonas over the years, both for the same sona and swapping in new ones!! It’s always so cool to see the evolution of people’s skills, style, and self-concept over time :>

Also hell yeah, million moles club represent lol

If you’re ever missing your art… sorry, it was me, I ate it

I also watch jacksepticeye sometimes, but he’s got very different vibes than the others on my list lol.

Overall I mostly watch story-based games, and usually for any game I wanna see at least one of these four has played it :>

Ooo I’m very picky with people’s ✨vibes✨ so there aren’t many I watch regularly, but some of my favourites are

- TBSkyen (who you already know, pretty sure I found you that way lol)

- Welonz (she’s very chill, great attention to detail)

- EuroBrady (also very chill, offers a therapist’s POV!)

new pfp who dis 👁️

I'll be taking a few headshot comms in this style, with a small discount for non-feline characters because I definitely gotta practice other species more 👀

Let me know if you'd be interested in something like this for ~30€ or so!! :>

Lower contrast version... still trying to decide what I like better for my art, but I think I'm concluding that I gotta chill with the saturation when I pick colours lmao

What is the difference, if you don’t mind me asking? I assume this is one of those “colloquial vs strictly accurate terms” situations?

Thank you so much for sharing these news!

Hey, it's OCtober!

I write a character-driven werid fiction/cosmic horror novel with modern political fantasy elements. I also draw. My characters are 24/7 on my mind and I will use every opportunity to show them to everyone.

Here are my queer, fanatical, celestial-themed lizards.

#art #oc #ocsky

A blue anthropomorphic lizard with spotted skin, dark blue eyes with glowing star-shaped irises, and bright glowing starry marks on her forehead and chest. She is wearing a silver halo crown, a dark blue veil resembling a braid, decorated with vibrant blue flowers, a silver decorative corset, silver decorative forearm cuffs, and a dark blue dress with a high neckline and a wide hood attached to the sleeves. The background is dark blue, full of stars.

A blue-skinned anthropomorphic lizard wearing white robes with a wide hood, golden jewelry, and a blue cape with golden celestial embellishments. His eyes are golden, and his skin—blue with darker spots. He is holding a white rose in his right hand. There's a bleeding, star-shaped wound on his left hand. The background is purplish blue with golden swirls and a halo surrounding the character's head. There are two smaller frames on the sides of the artwork, each containing decorative blakthorn flowers, four-pointed stars, and bones.

Digital artwork divided into four sections. The first section, the major one, is a large rectangle filling the left side of the illustration. Inside it there is an anthropomorphic lizard with dark gray skin, turquoise spots, a long curly tail, and crystal-like markings on her right hand. She is wearing a light pink shirt with wide sleeves, blue pants, tall dark shiny boots, and a thick blue veil resembling two ponytails. She is floating in the space with a dynamic pose and holding an eyeball with a black sclera, vibrant blue iris, and star-shaped white pupil. The smaller three sections are on the right side of the picture. They portray two yucca plants with parasitic flowers and eyes, a hand holding an eye with a dividing iris, and an eel with many eyes on its body. Backgrounds of all sections are dark blue, filled with stars.

An anthropomorphic lizard holding a blue glowing lily flower. She has blue spotted skin, white glowing star-shaped markings on her hands and forehead, and dark eyes with starry white pupils. She is wearing a dark blue dress, a blue cape with a celestial pattern, a dark veil resembling a braid, and a second, thin, semi-transpernt flowy veil with starry emroidery. Silver jewelry complements the whole outfit. The background is an elongated frame containg cosmic space—dark, full of stars.

where are those goated EU consumer protection laws when you need them 😭😭 instead of surveillance and age verification by ID, can we have “websites are not allowed to lie about being free” pls

alexeven @alexeven.bsky.social · 11d

This drives me INSANE!! Same with those questionnaires or calculators (like those quick roundabout tax calculators and such) that let you fill out the whole thing and then go “please enter your email to receive the result (you are hereby also signing up to receive our 63 newsletter emails per day)”

Also new eye colour hello?? I feel like blue is a better contrast with all the warm tones on her face 👀🩵

alexeven @alexeven.bsky.social · 11d

Annnnd attempt 2 at rendering Quili!

I like this one much better, I think the values are a little more distinct and it feels a bit more cohesive. I'll count this as a win

Attempt number one at rendering this 👀

I like it from a technical perspective, but some things definitely still bother me and I can't quite put my finger on what... too much contrast everywhere, so the face doesn't get as much focus, maybe? Or maybe some colours are off? Who knows lol

Thank you!! :3

alexeven @alexeven.bsky.social · 17d

Thank you for 200 followers!! I didn't expect to get that far after only a year of posting my art online, that is SO cool to me!

alexeven @alexeven.bsky.social · 17d

Some more posing and anatomy practice!!

(I tried painting this too, but I couldn't get the values to work the way I wanted them, so... sketch only it is! Maybe I'll give this one another try later)
