One of the few times I've hated having to put in my watermark, but honestly it's not that out of place in a 90s sci-fi 'shows up in the background' style ad. Also, story's been updated.

Finally bringing this sucker in for a landing.

It was about time I tried my hand at drawing a Shadow. With some obvious flourishes and alterations.

I wanted to see about making the lower body weirder/flesh out their heads a little more/give them a bit more neck than the slender-as-hell looks-like-a-weakpoint-to-me twig the animation gave them.

Usually, she can't look at it directly for too long, even like this. There's too much going on. Focusing on one detail reveals ten more she never noticed before-- and ten more besides. Until mere observation becomes too labyrinthine to escape. She has no such trouble now. She just sees it, feels it there as if it's physically present, given a weight its species hasn't possessed since a time when her own was still debating if it wanted to be one cell, or two. Seeing her seeing it, it greets her with a cozy rumble. Wind and thunder given melody.

(slightly modified) Excerpt/WIP illustration from the ongoing B5 fix-it fic I've been kicking around.

Designing what the Vorlons must have looked like before they 'ascended' into beings of pure energy was a very fun exercise, and one I enjoyed doing quite a bit. I hope to have the above illo done soonish.

Regular reminder that if you think you can be a TERF and still enjoy my work, lol no you can’t.

There was a commenter some time ago who said Phoebe's previous flag was too tiny and she needed a bigger one and frankly, Ependa and I agree, so here we are :V

Babylon 5 - Susan/Lyta collab w/ @ependasketchpad

Learning how close this came to being canon will always be such an enormous bummer.

Thankfully we exist and through some grave error were given opposable thumbs so we are here to help w/ that.

(And now's as good a time as any to mention that another And Then They Fuck chapter went up)

Babylon 5 doodle, maybeee? worth a mild Trypophobia warning?

Does this count as a TF post? Just thinking about the absolutely wild dreams you'd have as an eldritch science experiment.

Prob not gonna take this much farther, I have too much to do generally, but it was fun to concept out.

as ever this is attached to an angsty Lyta/Ivanova fic that I apparently need to purge from my system like food poisoning.
