If you see this, quote with a robot that’s not from “Star Wars”, “Star Trek”, “Dr. Who”, or “Transformers”.
EDI’s robot body from Mass Effect 3. Greyscale metal body in the shape of a conventionally attractive woman with a bob and an orange visor. Her neck, shoulders, and upper chest are black gunmetal, below that and her face are light grey chrome, and her “hair” is a darker grey metal. She wears winged eyeliner for some reason. Probably for Joker.

Black background with white minimalist hook and fish. “This is bait.” Is in the upper-left corner.

get in queers, we’re posting lock screens apparently.
An Apple lock screen featuring art of a red-haired girl in a blue-accented green tunic, brown pants, and brown boots flying on a white dragon with a blue-firey mane. The girl has many silver piercings on her face and a branching bracelet on her wrist closer to the foreground and has her eyes closed and a smile on her face; her hair is flying back in the wind. The dragon is looking up at her past horns on her brow with a “puppy” side-eye; the brown saddle she wears is ornamented with silver branches with blue leaves, and her wings stretch past the upper part of the frame. The background features a blue cloudy sky rushing past. The foreground reads “AT&T Wi-Fi” in the upper left corner; 2/4 cellular bars, full Wi-Fi bars, and a full battery icon are in the upper right corner; immediately below that in the upper center reads, “Mon 5”, a picture of a black crescent over a white circle, “Waning Gibbous”, and then immediately below that on the screen lies the time: “9:12”. Below all of this, in the lower-left corner, lies a flashlight button; centered beside it reads “12 Notifications” with faded black background for readability, and finally a camera button in the lower-right corner.

An art trade with a sweet and dear friend: her character, the Dragon Knight, the protector of his queen’s kingdom. Soldiers come from another kingdom to attempt to capture it in the dead of night, but the wheel of fate spun away from their favor, and the Dragon Knight was awake to burn them down.
A green dragon with wings outstretched mid-beat, flying over a field of grass, breathing a cone of flame down onto a wooden siege tower on the left of the page. An archer in a red tunic and yellow pants dives off the top, clutching his red ‘robin hood’ style cap with a yellow feather stuck into it onto his head. A spearman and two swordsmen in varying skin tones run away (described here from right to left); the spearman holds a wide hoplite shield above his head, protecting himself while pointing with the spear off-camera, directing his company to flee. One of the swordsmen flees with his arms in the air, sword and buckler flailing, while the other looks back toward the dragon, pointing their sword towards the dragon and holding their shield in front of their body. All the soldiers on the ground wear bronze breastplate, pauldrons, and shin guards, as well as red leather skirts to protect their thighs, and leather sandals to protect the soles of their feet. Behind them is a blurred background of a starry sky with a Waxing Gibbous over a forest on the left and a castle wall on the right. The fire from the dragon’s toothy maw splashes light and shadow; besides the cold light of the moon, it is the only source of light in this scene. The dragon has four legs and four near-black crest horns (three visible), emerald reptilian eyes with dark ridges around them, and a light underbelly. Its feet are dog-like, and its claws are as dark as its horns, made of the same keratin. Fins travel along its head and back, and then down to the tail, where it becomes its aerodynamic guiding rudder, running wide and down below the tail. His wings are wide, running well above the view of the page, cut off by the top.

More “character” art! This is of #ASterlingGarden ‘s IGstar-88, or “Star”, a heavily modified Westar-88 blaster with a droid cpu inside to regulate the odd component structure. It’s the blaster of @damphyr.com’s Maribella, and it helps inform her of ally and adversary psychology as well as shooting.
“Character” art of The Star Wars Legends fanon blaster/droid IGstar-188. The blaster is a sleek silver Westar-88 custom blaster, which is shaped like a revolver with some armored sections protecting the electronics within. This model has been slightly gutted and altered, a window having been cut out of the armor around the barrel to allow for two red wires to be routed through it and around the gun, into the top of the trigger guard, and around to the back of the weapon. At each end of the set of wires are two small black boxes that presumably hold the droid components: the one over the handle is plain and unadorned save the wires extruding from the front of its left side, but the box in front has been shaped around the barrel and the armor into a more “boxy teardrop” shape, and has a hologrid and two indicator lights (red on top, green on bottom) on the side facing the camera and a lens facing front. The handle is made of a light wood with a red tint on the visible rings, and has a constellation carved into its lower section.

Got to do a #commission for another friend: Nix, the Bard of Love. Figuring out the lighting was really rewarding here, as was the guitar! I don’t get to drawing instruments very much and I think I did a good job hehe
Character art of Nix, a Bard demigod of love, playing guitar on a professional stage. Nix himself is in the foreground: blonde hair pulled into a ponytail with curtain bangs flying about by some unseen wind, glowing pink eyes, fair skin, thin masculine build; he wears a black leather jacket over a dark red V-neck and tight jeans. He’s leaning back, holding a microphone in one hand and the neck of a custom acoustic guitar (three red-lined heart cutouts for the sound hole and a red pick guard over a light wood body; brass pins hold the metal strings in place at the bottom; hearts act as fret indicators along the neck) in the other. He sings into the microphone, a smirk playing along his lips as he looks at someone in the audience. A pickup in the guitar is plugged into a soundstage wire. The background features a lighting grid with a set of pink can lights stage left and a set of yellow can lights stage right. Cyan light streams from beyond the foreground, stage left. Behind Nix is a tall speaker on stage right, and an empty drum set on a massive block stage left. Sparkly pink magic swirls around him, playing with his hair and along his fingers on the fretboard; it forms a heart-halo above his head. Pink magic vibrates along the guitar strings as well, visible just on top of the sound hole.

Got to do a commission for a fren! Look out for this bit of cover art from yours truly on an upcoming project from @mrray.bsky.social 💜🥰🎶
Three fake Power Rangers (from left to right: Yellow, Red, and Blue) ready to fight, standing on a cyan grid of energy with a neon grid-mountain in the background being struck by five bolts of yellow lightning interspersed irregularly throughout the dark sky (vaporwave yay!) The rangers themselves are clad in aquatic themed gear inspired by several legitimate generations, but most notably the first, with their golden buckles featuring their power animal (visible on the yellow and red rangers) and the white accents to their simple costumes. Their helmets bear a resemblance to SCUBA masks, except instead of a tank, they feed directly back into the helmet. They also have light armor on their forearms and lower legs, and separated armored shoes that have a slit from which flippers may extend. The Yellow Ranger crouches with a yellow-finned spear pointed to the left, the Blue Ranger stands holding a Tesla Gun pointed to the right and behind them, and the Red Ranger stands in the center foreground facing the ‘camera’, holding rocket-punching-gloves in a boxing stance protecting their face and midsection.

Reset with a pic someone else took of you that you don’t hate
A late-20s trans woman smiling softly, looking down at something and leaning her head to the right (her left); she is only featured from the upper chest to her head. She has a round face with light stubble barely visible around her chin and upper lip; she’s wearing a collared red button-up with a light pink pattern on it, a silver chain necklace with an unseen charm hanging from it, and blue and pink glass earrings each in the shape of a leaf that hang from her ears. Her hair is mostly pulled back into a messy ponytail, save some curtain bangs, the right set (her left) of which is visible, hanging over her left eye, which is still visible through the slightly parted strand of wavy hair. The hair itself is parted to her right, and although it’s definitely had some growth—revealed in the inch or so of brown roots—is mostly dyed a faded pattern of cyan and purple. The background is blurred, but a shelf full of board games—identified as such by the distinctive “Mouse Trap” logo—and a potted plant with a strand of leaves hanging down over them can be discerned. —taken by Emily Davis

“A Sterling Garden” is a #SW5E limited run campaign set in 3BBY: four green strangers learn to survive, then thrive, in a Galaxy out to get them. You can find us at twitch.tv/meadowlarkpr... starting on 3/6 at 6PST.
Set upon the backdrop of a cloudy planet’s stratosphere and the surrounding space, with its moon in the upper-right-hand corner. At the top in stylized block lettering reads the title: “A Sterling Garden”. Immediately below it stand four drawn characters of varying heights and apparent species, with names (Adelaide, Kay, Mirm, Mr. Ray, GM Sophia) to their left. From left to right, the characters are: A white, green-eyed woman with poofy red curly hair tied up with an aqua band leaning against an unseen wall, holding a blaster at the ready while looking warily over her shoulder. She wears a dark leather jacket over a lace crop top, grey pants tied with an aqua sash, and knee-high brown boots. A white woman with green hair eyes looking towards the ceiling. She wears a long red duster with brown shoulder pads over thick grey coveralls with blue knee pads, brown leather gauntlets on her arms, steel-lined brown leather boots, and red goggles on her forehead. A Mandalorian in distinctive orange armor with red accents; the visor is in the familiar “T” shape. He holds a blaster pistol in his right hand (our left) and a vibrodagger in his left (our right). Instead of standard thigh armor, he wears a dark brown war skirt that is open in the front. A yellow-skinned Twi’lek with green eyes. They wear piloting goggles on their head and have tattoos in the shape of circuitry running down their “lekku” and serve as their eyebrows. They wear a brown scarf that trails down behind them, bits of white “plasteel” armor on their right shoulder and left arm, a light brown wrap barely covering their chest, dark brown pants with black pouches strapped on, and black leather boots. They are the tallest of the group, leaning casually against an unseen wall, thumb to their lip. Below them reads, “Thursdays at 9pm EST; March 6-27 • April 10-24 • May 22& 29”. Below that is the SW5E logo and the Meadowlark Productions logo, then finally the text, “A Meadowlark Productions Limited Run Series”
