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 Avacyn from MtG. The drawing is a half body of an angel facing to the left, so that her face is in full profile. She wears pauldrons and a breastplate of black metal, with black sleeves. Her flowing white hair is left as solid white and unrendered, starkly contrasting the rest of the illustration 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.

This is a really excellent breakdown of practical color. The 60-30-10 rules is something you encounter in graphic design a lot, but she gives clear examples of how it's used in fine art, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDUU...
I wish someone had told me this about color

The Wanderer (commission)

#xochiart #art
Digital illustration of The Wanderer from Magic: the Gathering. A woman with white shoulder-length hair and a white kimono sits on a bench. She holds a cup in her hands, with stylized steam coming out of it. Her eyes are closed and her expression is relaxed. A shiba inu's head rests on her lap, the rest of its body covered by her crossed legs. The background is a stylized landscape with a setting sun in the horizon. Sakura trees in the mid and foreground are losing their pedals.

Someone in a Facebook group posted this photo of something called a Charivari. I had to look it up and learn all about this jewelry i never knew existed. I’m OBSESSED! I can’t believe I’ve never even accidentally found out about these things before!

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )
A digital drawing referencing the quoted image. In the style of an early 20th century drawing, a woman in a dress holds a minigun. The text above is changed to read "Does the minigun make women cruel?"

We're seeing some confusion about this, so let's talk about it.

Home Depot has been complicit as ICE snatches day laborers out of parking lots. At minimum Home Depot is turning a blind eye, and there have also been rumors they may be more actively complicit. Organizers including #weaintbuyingit 🧵

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
