A pixel art drawing of a person with green flowy hair. They have horns and elf ears. There are some golden decorations on one of their horns, as well as a golden earring in the shape of the moon in their ear. The right side of their face is completely dark. They are wearing a t-shirt in split colors, white and black. The split occurs at the same point where their face changes to dark. There is a moon sigil on their shirt. There are black and white orbs floating in the background. A pixel art drawing of two versions of the same character. The right one is upside down. The left one is fully colored, it's a person wearing a crop top with a moon sigil on it, and gray baggy pants. They have a sword with golden elements on their back. They have elf ears and dark brown horns, with golden jewelry on them, as well as vibrant green hair. They have a sword tattooed on their left arm. The right one is drawn using mostly two colors, black and white, with their hair still being vibrant green. Their entire body is pure black. Both of them are holding orbs that illuminate their bodies. A pixel art drawing, of a person staring at a flask they're holding. They have green hair, elf ears, horns, and a sword on their back. They are wearing a black tank top with the transgender flag on it, and gray baggy pants, with a chain, and two pins on it - the nonbinary and lesbian flags. The flask they are staring at is near empty, a single drop of liquid is left. It has a tag attached to it, with a crossed out eye. Text next to them reads Happy TDOV (Transgender Day of Visibility) from @herecomesriley There is a small heart next to the signature. A pixel art drawing of two characters taking a photo in the mirror while hugging. One of them has green hair, horns, and is wearing a black top and gray baggy pants. The other is wearing a leather jacket and baggy pants. They have an eye patch on their right eye. Next to the mirror there's a sword.

Template no I totally didn't forget to post this earlier
A gender chart on a 6 by 6 grid. The four corners represent certain identities, and the spaces in between them represent identities that are a mix of the four. The rows are labelled A through F top to bottom, and columns - 1 through 6 left to right. Top left, A1, is male Top right, A6 is genderqueer/gendered nonbinary Bottom left, F1, is agender/genderless Bottom right, F6, is female

Following my most recent gender crisis uhhhhhh here ish?? I think??

I'm still not sure what I actually am but I just kinda stopped caring lol

As a side note. Yeah as far as gender charts go that is a pretty decent gender chart.

There's an arrow pointing to the highlighted tiles with the text "here-ish"

@proton.me No one wanted this. No one.

You have thrown everyone's trust in the garbage, and for what.

You can brag all you want about how private this thing is, I don't believe you.

Answer me this:

Are you using tools created by violating our privacy, or have you stolen our data yourselves? 🤔

BEHOLD
The Assortment of Armoured Goobers. Trademark.

🎨 #art #pixelart #aseprite #oc #ocsky

I was messing around with their design a bit and just decided to give them progressively more armour.

Random bit of lore: Their left hand is always uncovered to allow for casting spells in combat!
A pixel art drawing of Riley's OC, Luna. There are 8 of them with identical poses, each with slightly more silver-coloured armour than the previous one. The first one has no armour, only a black top with a moon sigil on it, and gray baggy pants. The second one gains a left shoulder pad and armour on their right forearm. The third one gains a breastplate with a moon sigil engraved in it. The fourth one gains armour on lower legs, with moon sigils on them as well. The fifth one gains armoured boots. The sixth one gains full leg armour. The seventh one gains armour on the stomach and the right shoulder pad. The eighth one gains full arm armour on their right hand, including an armoured glove. Their left hand gains a bit of armour towards the top, the forearm remains uncovered.
