Also, go show some support for Ahmed and his family. They havent been active on Bluesky (understandable since they got labeled spam and that restricts their account a lot) but they still post updates on their campaign and still need support. gofund.me/9ab2824e

Some detail shots
A zoom in on the snakes' tails, showing the colorful scale stitching (purple fading to red on one snake, purple fading to blue on the other) and the varying textures of the fabric scraps. A zoom in on the snakes' faces, again showing the colorful scales (red fading into purple and blue fading into purple) as well as how the black paint on the scalpel handle interacts with the texture of the cloth (streaky).

See, its important to spend a bit of time with a character design before calling it done cause you might realize you need to make major changes to the color scheme and also that you forgot to draw the back
A character design turn-around of a rosy maple moth inspired girl. She has shoulder-length, fluffy pink-and-yellow hair with green antenna sticking out. A green and yellow shawl is draped over a light brown shirt. She is also wearing a poofy green skirt, pink socks, brown boots and brown gloves. The back shows bright yellow wings with abstract patterns on them that mimic the photo references of moth wings at the top of the page.

A zoom in on the snakes' heads. Better shows the stitching and the button eyes. Zoom in on the scalpel blade and the snakes' tails. Better shows the texture of the blood painted on the blade.

I'll start! This is a costume I made a few years ago. It started as an expression of my feelings around gender and gender expression, and has remained that but has also grown into an #oc named Chime.
A white person with long, wavy brown hair standing in front of a concrete wall. They are wearing a long-sleeved collared shirt, long plant pants, and a purple open vest. The are also wearing a thick belt, a ragged, patchwork skirt, black high heels, and multiple necklaces. They are holding up a snake-headed tail. Their face has dramatic contour on their cheeks, bold blue eye shadow and black eyeliner. Red streaks are coming down from their eyes, and there is a large pair of antlers made of yarn on their head. Chime, sitting on a concrete bench, petting both of their snake-headed tails. Chime facing away from the camera, reaching up to touch the branches of a tree. Their tails are dangling toward the ground. Chime standing on grass, leaning against a concrete wall, inspecting their fingernails.
