So I really enjoyed the #KnightsOfGuinevere pilot
illustration of a stained glass window with golden swirls and stars around the frame. It depicts space princess Guinevere except the glass is broken around her right eye, arm and left leg, revealing an orange sky with hints of smoke behind the window.

I dove into some old boxes and found a couple of sketchbooks from grade 9, just after starting high school

Play my game demo: zoemaxine.itch.io/razzopolis
Illustration on a yellow background. Text: Meet Mr. Smokin. (Mr. Smokin is crossed out with a red line and a handwritten note above it says "Sunny"). Issue 02, zoemaxine.com Razzopolis. There's a drawing of a photograph taped on of a nervously smiling bunny person wearing yellow stripes and a bowtie. Underneath is the faded drawing of a person in a white suit with smoke for a head. Illustration. A rabbit person sits on a white chair, wearing a yellow outfit with poofy sleeves and a striped waistcoat with bowtie. The rabbit man is a light grey with darker grey spotting. Text is between an "interviewer" and the rabbit. Q: Uh, hello, who are you? A: Hi! I'm Sunny, Sunny Warren. My boss, Mr. Smokin, was supposed to have an interview today? Q: Oh, that's right. Where is he? A: He sent me since he couldn't make it. Please don't shoot the messenger. Q: I won't. So you work with Mr. Smokin at the bank? A: That's right! I'm his assistant. Ask me anything you were going to ask him. Q: Alright. Why does a city with no currency need a bank? A: Wow, great question! No comment.

Hey. Meet some characters from my game, starting with the mayor.

Underneath in smaller text: Issue 01, zoemaxine dot com. Second image of the half-skeletal woman, this time a full view with her sitting down in a chair. Underneath leggings, there are skeletal gaps in her legs and her gloves have bone patterns. Text is split between the unseen interviewer and her. Q: Can you introduce yourself? A: Valerie Vertebrae. Mayor of Razzopolis. Q: How would you describe yourself? A: Busy. Q: With what? A: Everything. I run this town. Q: You've been described as "someone who believes she's the only adult in the room". A: When anyone else decides to actually step up, perhaps I'll stop.

The only problem with the text boxes in this fanart I made is it hides the fact that the restaurant in the background is "Flint's Sandwiches".
illustration taking place on a new york street. Doctor Octopus, of Spider-Man fame, lounges on his tentacle arms and is lifting a masked man off the ground with one robotic arm. Doc Ock is looking down at a woman, who is turned away from the camera but is Aunt May. Doc Ock says, "Are you being troubled by this absolute lout, ma'am?". A narration box below reads: "Translation: Is this guy bothering you, queen?"

A lil preview of something I've been working on:
a faux book cover in a brownish red with golden yellow designs around the edges, mimicking an old fairy tale book. Text reads on the back cover: "The Formerly Tragic Tales of Trescrie" with the word formerly handwritten and inserted above. "By Zoe Maxine". On the front cover, on a silhouette of a castle-like manor, in fanciful font reads "The Baron & His Children", below is "A Tragic Tale of Trescrie". Handwritten above them both is the words "1st tale".

Hi! I'm Zoe Maxine, my full portfolio is over on www.zoemaxine.com but here's some pieces that are more abstract or dark (the one with flowers is more dark in subject matter than it appears at first glance ;) )
Symmetrical illustration in deep reds, browns and gold yellows. There's a compass rose in the center with angled triangular shapes spreading from the points. In the shapes are various abstract drawings as well as waves, stars, clouds and dragons. abstract patterns made of black whirling shapes on grey, some evoking the wings and eyes of moths or the horns or beasts. Drawings of poison ivy, hemlock flowers and bitter almonds. a simple illustration that has a slightly unsettling offset look, with red keys and touchpad. The background on the screen is of a wide gaping mouth with uvula and tongue visible, but the teeth are all programs on the computer, pixilated and unclear. Barely visible, the programs are called, collectively, "Just Keep Typing Keep Your Hands On The Keyboard Please Smiley Face"

Heat Wave in TWBU!
Screenshot of a chart of stats, 2 points in Fight, 1 point in Observe, 1 point in Drama and 5 Defeat. Text beside it reads: Powered, Elemental. Extraordinary Objects: Heat Gun, shoots fire, much hotter than a regular flamethrower, Heat Suit, protects from immense amounts of heat. Specialty: Fire Requirements: His powers come from his equipment; he has to be wielding his gun and wearing his suit. Side Effects: His fire is not perfectly controlled and can catch things on fire that he did not intend to. Special Actions: Awe-some: Once per scene when you have to make a Con check, use your extraordinary abilities to intimidate or awe the person you're talking to and automatically add +Drama to the roll. Special Attack: Burn It All: turns up the power on the Heat Gun to increase the intensity of the fire both in scope and temperature. You can use it once per scene. Roll Fight +Drama.  Illustration of a grinning and masked Heat Wave from DC Comics

One way to build Two-Face in TWBU:
drawing of two face from batman, looking handsome in a black and white suit, flipping a toonie A chart with stats on it, 1 in fight, 1 in Con, 2 in Drama, 4 in Defeat. Next to it is a character description: TRICKSTER, Mix and Match. Lucky, twice per session he may re-roll any dice roll. Resource: Henches, two Gimmick: Twos Weaknesses: regular human weaknesses Shortcomings: reliant on flipping his scratched two-sided coin to make decisions. Special Actions: Dramatic Personality: If you can tie any Action to your Gimmick, once per scene add +Drama to that roll. This is stackable with other Special Actions. Comrade: When one of your teammates or allies has been Defeated, you may roll a Move check. On a fail, you lose 1 Defeat as your attempt to help backfires but you may use this move once more with +Drama. On a success you rescue them and give them back 1 Defeat without losing a point in Defeat of your own. On a partial success there is a complication added as well. Note: in game this is represented by the coin flip deciding if he helps or not

What I think of whenever anyone says they're reskeeting something:
one panel comic of dc comics' Booster Gold talking to his robotic buddy named Skeets. Booster: "So everyone on this Bluesky is making angry tweets -" Skeets, correcting: "Skeets, sir." Booster: "I know you're Skeets...?" Skeets: "No -"

Demo coming soon.
On a diagonal grid, with patches of colorful and golden backgrounds behind, are 17 faces of various characters, many of them sporting paranormal features such as ears, fangs, and visible bones. Near the centre is a square that reads "Razzopolis" above a stylized eye.

Did a lil sketchy thing last night. I feel like this probably actually happened canonically #batman #harleyquinn #dcfanart
drawing of Harley Quinn dressed as red riding hood (in a blend of that outfit and her costume), walking into a room with the hint of the silhouette of Batman. Cheerfully, Harley is saying, "Puddin! What big ears you have!"

Have a pair of Alice in Wonderland themed "clocks" :

My Supervillain team-up TTRPG has been updated to version 0.6! Featuring more illustrations, more stuff, and yet a significantly decreased page count as I edited out needless wordiness from 0.5. Check it out! zoemaxine.itch.io/together-wel...
Various pieces of screenshots layered together in one image. The title of the game, in dramatic purple and orange font: Together We'll Be Unstoppable. Then, a drawing of a dog in a superhero mask. Two supervillains, one partly made of goo and one in armor, pose in the next bit. Finally, a very cropped version of the stats page, with the category Outsmart (Observe, skill) accompanied by little black and white drawings of a supervillains dressed as a paper doll with Sherlock hat, and one in a suit with sunglasses repairing a super-gun.

I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure what kind of flowery bush this one is!
