That's how it goes isn't it?

"Mine."

"It's funny, y'know", she crooned whilst a toying smooth glove tilted the drones head slightly with a forefinger-and-thumb; her gesture trying to gauge what resistance remained with. "I have never realised how much that you are mine." After a brief satisfied exhalation, the loose guidance of the chin turned into a mild passing caress of a cheek as she looked up at the indoctrinates distant stare, closing the gap between them. "Of all of those I've pressed into my service, Lel, you are the only one truly seems to enjoy it. You are my most loyal right hand; my righteous defender, my brave soldier, and the executor of my will. Completely and utterly mine."

Still got the "drone brain rot", and so I finished that sketched up piece! Considering it was 2023 Hypnovember artjam that sort of reaffirmed a want to play around with this concept originally, and now is leading into this story/world I am building, only seems apt to give a piece fitting of it again in November!

On a side note; I really quite like how the lighting came out! :)

We'll see if I can do some more at a point soon. :D

It's my 12 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Well.

More Drone Brainrot Stuff

I am alive, and still doing some arts on the side. And at the possible risk of typecasting ones art even further, here are some more drone-y pieces/doodles in progress or as of late. (Although I have worked on some other pieces, but most of that is my Twitch PNGtuber which I am not sure people are really interested in seeing!) Considering a lot of this material and its subsequent story/world I have dreamt up was very much driven by #hypnovember last year, perhaps I should so something in this November to mark the occassion? Seeming as much as its very much suggestive/kink/kink-adjacent concepts, I do kinda like this story running around in my head... Maybe? Maybe not? :\ IDK. (Side note: I'm still debating if I want to do 30 doodles again this November as that nearly destroyed me when combined with little free time / time to decompress from work!) Anyhoozles, enjoy. ~ hexitart

Update of the Doc and her favourite right-hand-drone/lady(/toy); Lel.

Still some work to be done, but we are getting there. Might rework the arm in the rearground as the pose is a little off. :S But liking it so far! (lighting might kill me later on!)

Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating. 

[putyouinabook]

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this?

[why-bless-your-heart]

I have a tendency to beat myself up whenever something I make doesn’t meet my expectations (which is always). The result is that finishing something = bad feelings: I am effectively punishing myself for having created something. The natural reaction to this punishment is an aversion to creation, meaning that my perfectionism is harming me, not only by causing me to despise what I do make and by impeding the creative process, but by attacking even my desire to create.

I’m having some feelings about this post

Doodle of Slix

Whilst trying to pull myself out of this "art-block pit" I found myself in, my muse decided to partake the pin-up brainrot and so here we have a quick doodle of Slix, my slug gal.

For a character whom was originally intended as a one-off parody on Bunny-Girl Attire (because surely you could try making a similar look with a creepy/icky creature type, right? Thus began the "slug suit", and then anthro-ing it...), she's certainly stuck around a fair bit :P

Enjoy...? :P (Perhaps I might make it into a proper pic, and rework some of the posing)

Hither

She could sense them there; these strange elusive gestures, calls and connections toying at the sheer limits of her perceptability. Like fragments of a dream when awake; every attempt to make sense of them caused it to dissolve away under the scrutiny. Yet they compelled. They whispered. They beckoned... Zoe exhaled deeply, and reluctantly dipped her sense of self below the surface, unsure what would happen next...

Been working on this for the last few days, on-and-off, and is part of a potential bigger project/idea (offshooting from last years Hypnovember doodles) that I've got on the back-burner. Quite enjoy how it came out, even if its a little... abstract? (And I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with the fullsize variant of this!) Enjoy!

For those not in the know, this is one of the Amanita mushrooms referred to as a Destroying Angel. Never, ever, ever, ever forage with an app. Especially for mushrooms.

[biglawbear]

One day when AI is finally regulated, those regulations will be written in blood

We're currently in the "unregulated wild west cuz no one has died yet" era

[yeomanrand]

The Amanita mushrooms, destroying angel included, are a horrible way to die. Particularly because, like rabies, when you first show symptoms you're already dead.

But that's not what makes Amanita Ocreata and it's relatives awful.

With rabies there is no reprieve: you are sick and get sicker until you die. With these mushrooms, though, you will be sick for a while, and then suddenly you will feel like it has passed, and you are on the mend.

This is a lie. You are about to return to groaning intestinal pain, slip into a coma, and die. Because during that "reprieve" period, as Kingfisher & Wombat note, the active toxin in the mushroom is destroying your liver.

Only forage with a reliable guide, never an app, and if you're not sure don't pick and eat it!

Lambda-37 / "Lel"

(cutting and pasting from my BlueSky...) "Lambda-37", or otherwise known affectionately as "Lel" for short by the Doc. Prior to her current "employment"; she was a Spec Ops officer for The Foundation. But after being left for dead by her former allies; she was rescued and given a new lease of life within Operon…

Finally finished the lighting and shading of the flat-colours for this on-stream. :)

Making Friends!

I'm sure it's just a costume Zoe! No need to panic over 9 of 10, Primary Adjunct of Unimatrix 242 Nixie being very... erm, in character. It's all for show! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE SHARP NEEDLES!

Suffice to say; its a recurrent thing that at least once every one or two years, I end up drawing up a Borg-related piece. And it was about time for another! (Yes, I know; its an odd tradition!)

Drawn over the last few days, mostly streamed on my Twitch (same username as here!). Already have a few ideas for a sequel piece, but that won't be for a little while.

Enjoy? :P

Faithless

In yesterdays session of D&D, our partys half-orc warlock-sorcerer Maz (played by the sheerly brilliant RP-ing tour-de-force that is @fractalizing-grace ) succumbed to the power of an ancient evil artefact she decided to don and attune to. In a grim mixture of wanton knowledge against the threat and power to help protect against calamity, she had equipped the gauntlets with noble intentions. But over the session, her resolve eroded and she was now a herald for the ultimate evil.

We... we had a heart-wrenching and heart-breaking episode, with the remnants of our party trying to free her from this curse. But in turn; she brought her powers and new insidious abilities to bear, and with not much choice; we had to bring Maz down before she would kill us all.

So, here is a moment in time from when Maz became a twisted avatar of a would-be-god, and a gift for her brilliant player. Terrifyingly badass. :)

Everyone talking about posts that changed their brain chemistry seem to be leaving out this classic, which probably propelled me into activism and more self confidence in a way that I cannot put into words.

Zoe Concepts ("Guest", Astras Worker, Drone)

Zoe (Astras Worker), "Doctor S" (Normal & Armoured), "Lambda 37" Drone (Doc's "Right Hand Drone") Concepts

More "Drone" Variation Concepts (Butler & Combat)

"Astras Foundation" Character Concept Doodles (Commander, Science Officer, Special Ops)

Thought I would share some concept doodles sort of semi-brought on from some of last years Hypnovember stuff and some villainous pics of the last couple of years. In short; I have been daydreaming a story playing on some of the ideas and characters I've had laying around. Not entirely sure this would ever gain traction, but I'm at least back-burner building this universe, characters and a narrative. I'm not sure if people would want an anthropomorphic sci-fi meets dark romance story with some comedic twists... But still, its fun to build on as I ponder. :)

I guess I'll see where this goes :D

... You Never Seen a Slug Before?

Recently acquired a new graphics tablet, and I have enterred the age of IT HAS A SCREEN IN IT! So, whilst learning the new workflow (and bemoaning I am going to have to rearrange my entire desk to fit this monster on it); I decided to have a little fun with a quasi-pinup of Slix.

Enjoy! :)
