The Cruel and the unusual: Muxtra and Jazza
#TearsofXivo #art #3dart #indiedev #indiegames #indiegamedev
An image of Muxtra from Tears of Xivo. Muxtra is a tall, muscular woman with multicolored angel wings, a kaleidoscopic patterned hoodie and two different shoulder guard. Her hair is done up in a ponytail and each section is a different color. Muxtra flies over an ocean in the setting sun towards the viewer with a large sword and hammer in hand, ready to swing. A pair of hands that are blurry, out of focus, rise to feebly to defend the viewer as Muxtra, with a twisted smile, ready to do what she does best. An image of Jazza from Tears of Xivo. Jazza is a woman with long, wild, curly gray hair, shimmering white eyes, and white glittery jewels covering her skin from head-to-toe. She's wearing elastic shorts and a tube top with a single sleeve that has a geometric blue and white pattern. Jazza is flying above the viewer, looking down disgusted hatred. Green lightning erupts from her right hand lighting up the cloudy night. Electric death flies towards the viewer who holds their hands as debris flies up to meet their destruction.

The First Two Lovers: Xivo and Marix
#TearsofXivo #art #3dart #indiedev #indiegames #Blacksky
An image of Xivo from Tears of Xivo. Xivo is a Black woman with dark skin, rainbow colored 4C hair, pink eyeshadow, and constellations covering her skin. She is massive, floating in outer space as she holds an Earth like planet between her hands. Xivo is wearing a pearlescent bodysuit, a golden bracelet, golden metallic wings flank her sides, golden spikes frame her head, with silver and gold rods that make a halo. A shimmery red headpiece sits on her forehead with chains attached to red orbs, the chains frame her nose down past her eyes to look like she's crying. The planet she's holding is where the game takes place. Behind her are galaxies and infinite stars, but her focus is solely on the planet before her. Xivo looks down with an unmistakable sadness and pain. An image of Marix from Tears of Xivo. Marix is a dark skinned Black woman, black and white braids, a tikka head piece, a nose ring, and bead chains cover her arms and torso. She has on a black and silver bodysuit. Marix is immense in size, she stands in outer space, holding up a planet between her hands. The planet she holds is the same one Xivo holds in her photo. Behind her, the cosmos have aligned to color the universe in black, purple, pink, and orange with an incalculable amount of stars. But Marix only has eyes for the planet in her hands. She holds it with reverence, and a sad adoration rests on her face.

It is night time, but the stars illuminate the scene is in shades of pink and purple, shining through the clouds. Artelia in her left hand holds a sickle and in her right a health potion.

She's wearing a veil with a geometric pattern, a shrug jacket, crop top, a hip cape, ripped jeans, high top sneakers, finger caps, and a leather bookbag.

The blue of the sky and white of the clouds is interrupted by a dash of pink coming in from the left. Eve holds out her left hand, fingers spread as she looks down at the viewer with a look of focus on what's visible of her face. Eve is here to help us! An image of Sahkyō from Tears of Xivo.

Sahkyō is standing on her tail on a grassy hill in front of stone structures with runes embedded into them. The sun is setting, but Sahkyō stands tall, ready on defense as she has her staff in her right hand and a gold yellow shield spell in her left. She locks eyes with the viewer, a fierce expression on her face. Sahkyō is here to help us! An image of Terrya from Tears of Xivo. Terrya is a light blue skinned Gargoyle. She has emerald green hair done in cornrows, pointy ears, silver metallic horns, wings and a tail. Terrya is dressed in a tank top, an iridescent silver puffy vest, cargo pants with a yellow, green, and black pattern with two bags slung over her shoulders. Terrya is flying through the air, her left arm and wings are covered in stone, intercepting a stream of intense fire. The flames harmlessly wash over as she smiles, amused by the attempt. She heads towards the danger, shielding the viewer from harm. Terrya is here to help us!

I find it fascinating in movies/tv shows/games when there’s a giant monster and the military gets deployed to stop it that they have regular guys with just rifles shooting at it. Like, sir, what do you think your rifle is going to accomplish against the 500ft monster that shrugs off missiles?

an image of two guys sitting in front of laptops. on the left above reads "Ppl that have only seen the art for Tears of Xivo:" below that is text meant to be his speech "Wow! These characters look so cool! I hope only good things happen to them!" he is cheering at his screen. on the right there is text that reads "Ppl that have played the ToX demo:" there is no further text and the mam underneath looks at his laptop with a shocked expression grabbing his head.

Suggesting to Gamerbros that a Triple A game company with a recorded 2.4 billion dollar profit last year, hundreds of employees, state-of-the-art computer technology, and worldwide marketing should be better at making Black features in their games:

Katrina and Vexxin, characters from Tears of Xivo, replicating the "Im this clingy" meme with Vexxin lying on a bed with Katrina's head between her thighs. Both of them are looking at the camera with smiles on their faces. There is text in the middle that reads "Im this clingy [with a laughing emoji] 🤣" This is the same image without the text in the middle.

Dogs are getting vaccinated less and rabies rates are rising, in part because 37% of Americans think vaccines will give their dogs... pawtism.

www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Worries about vaccination rates in dogs As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs — and their owners — becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in a nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.
