(2024) OC-tober day 26: Cosplaying as Bridget
#MachineAtArms
Digitally-colored pencil drawing of a tall red-haired gynoid wearing Bridget's outfit from Guilty Gear Strive (using her red alternate palette). She's posed like Bridget's key art (walking forward with her yo-yo held high and swinging Roger behind her), but Roger is replaced with a plush of a grey cat with a long brown vest, beige pants, brown boots and gloves, a green button eye, and a white eyepatch.

October 16th is the day I observe the 20th anniversary of sorXa's creation date, her canon birthday, and the 3rd anniversary of me deciding once and for all that I wanted to live as a woman!

Wake up babe, new sorXa weapon just dropped
I had a hankering to give her a greatsword, so I gave her a greatsword. As one does. You understand.

Full writeup and earlier drafts here: www.tumblr.com/aqueousablut...
#MachineAtArms
Digitally colored pencil drawing of a flattened-tip sci-fi greatsword based on the Monasterevin sword. Its stout dark purple quillons are tipped with white, and when folded up over the ricasso of the blade, the sword becomes cloaked in a red field of crackling ether as the red crystal in the middle of the guard glows. The red ether is emitted from a long dark purple band running down the flat of the blade. A patter of three large holes linked in a "Y" thape, with three smaller holes between them, is at both the tip of the sword and on the smaller lobe of its pommel. When not coated in ether, the blade is white with a reddish sheen to it.

Digitally colored pencil drawing of two trans women. On the left, a heavyset Black human woman with short undercut dreads, a white clover flower tattoo on her right upper arm, two white implants on her belly, and a green neckerchief. She's sitting behind and kissing on the cheek her girlfriend, a tall muscular white ex-human gynoid with a pale face and fingers, a pale choker-like band around her neck, and an otherwise dark purple body. She has a bright red bob cut with orange wavy bangs framing her face and a matching wavy cowlick over her forehead, a T-shaped line down each cheek, and two divots on each shoulder. She's smiling with her eyes closed as her girlfriend kisses her, a hear rising between them. Text, with each word in a color of the lesbian flag: "They will never take our love". The artist's watermark has a trans flag in the logo.

She has visible joints, panels over her abdomen that resemble abdominal muscles, and two divots on each shoulder. She's standing at a three-quarters angle to the viewer and glancing back over her right shoulder, such that her face is toward the viewer but her eyes are not. She's smiling.

The exception to this, of course, is when dealing with those who have wronged her (or those she cares about): she's become harder to anger these days, but once she's been set off, she becomes an almost entirely different person. sorXa has absolutely no qualms with tearing her enemies limb from limb or executing a surrendering or fleeing foe if she's been given a reason to hate them. Her ruthless viciousness when angered is unsettling even to her allies at times. There are people whose jugulars she'd gladly tear out with her bare teeth if she had to.

She has a pale face, golden eyes with dark purple sclerae and glowing pupils, a T-shaped line running down each cheek, red lips, and a choker-like band of pale skin around her neck. Her body is otherwise dark purple. She's hunched over in a wide stance, screaming in rage as she clenches her right hand into a claw off to her side. The background is an intense red, with dark streaks radiating in rough circles from her head.

Digitally-colored pencil drawing of a group of lesbians. On the left a stack of a white tallish woman with a shaved head and a robotic left arm giving a piggyback ride to a white medium-height redheaded woman with a messy bun and wavy bangs framing her fave, who is in turn giving a piggyback ride to a bleached-blonde girlthing with light tan skin. To the right, a tall muscular gynoid with a pale face and dark purple skin from the neck down, and a red bob cut with wavy orange bangs framing her face and a wavy orange cowlick dangling between them, holding a medium-height heavyset Black woman with short undercut locs in a bridal carry.

She's glancing toward the viewer and sneering, her hands formed into claws. She's wearing nothing, but a field of red energy crackles around her like lightning. Her golden eyes are glowing with red sclerae.

She has visible joints, panels over her abdomen that resemble abdominal muscles, and two divots on each shoulder. She's dancing in a golden sea of glowing blobs not unlike the "lava" in a lava lamp.

Digitally-colored pencil drawing of two women with an arm around each other's shoulder. On the left, a tall muscular gynoid with a red bob cut, orange wavy bangs framing her pale face, an orange cowlick over her forehead, gold eyes with dark purple sclerae, a T-shaped line running down each cheek, and red lips. Her body is dark purple from the neck down except for her fingers and a choker-like band of pale skin around her neck. On the right, a shorter human woman with a slightly athletic build who has red hair in a messy bun, long wavy bangs framing her face, brown eyes, painted black nails, and scars on her thighs. The gynoid is wearing only a cropped pinkish-white athletic jacket with a red stripe down each arm and short pinkish-white zip-up boots with a red stripe around the top. The human woman is wearing a black shrug with an orange geometric patter around the wrists, an orange sports bra, grey high-waisted shorts, and orange-and-yellow sneakers with grey soles. The gynoid is crouching slightly and giving a 2-finger salute, while the human is on one leg giving a peace sign while bending her other leg up behind her and sticking her tongue out.

Finally have a design for sorXa's axe (Tuireann) that I'm happy with #MachineAtArms

Full post here: www.tumblr.com/aqueousablut...
Digitally-colored pencil drawing of a two-handed dark purple sci-fi axe, styled after Irish axes whose heads protrude in a sort of teardrop shape above the haft. The curved edge is white with a pink tinge, and it can emit red crackling energy that coats the blade. An emitter at the back of the head propels the axe, and a red crystal glows when the axe is emitting energy. It has a hexagonal shaft. An earlier version of the axe with a straight blade is to the left, uncolored. Text: sorXa axe concepts. "Tuireann"? "Esarg"?
