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 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.

Genuinely thrilled to see an executive in comics come out with this hard of a stance about it

"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it."

Digital illustration of Bayonetta. The point-of-view/camera is low, looking up at Bayonetta. The illustration has a limited color palette, and parts of the background blend into the figure

my full piece for the 2025 Object Head Zine 🏴‍☠️ || #art

A very colorful illustration featuring two characters with objects for heads. One is a pirate with an anchor for a head and lots of seaweed hair under her big blue captain's hat. The other is a mermaid with a pearl for a head, with a shimmering white body and long purple hair. The pirate stands atop an open, overflowing treasure chest and brandishes a sword in the air. The mermaid is wrapped around her leg like an old pulp novel cover. There is some text in the orange and blue background that reads: YO HO HO.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.
