Digital graphic with illustrations. Text on the graphic reads: @NeilaK20's Chibi Commissions! $35 each Contact SarahNeilaElkins@gmail.com Help me get new tires for my car! Illustrations on the graphic are of Thunderskull, a skeleton man with a pair of forward facing demon horns, and flaming eyesockets wearing a dark hoodie and pants with dark boots featuring little spikes on the toes. He has one hand in a pink cast held to his chest with a strap while the other hand is bony and at his side. A fluffy gray cat with one red eye, one gold eye, and facial scars smiles as he jumps over a woman with red hair in a short ponytail wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Below them is a kitten with very light orange spots on his head, back, tail, and feet. There is also a car tire with cartoony eyes that have been drawn on it as well.

I'm the freak that enfleshens a perfectly good skeleton man!
Two panels. The top panel features a giant skeleton knight, Thunderskull, wearing a long sleeve shirt made of loose dark fabric as well as fingerless gloves, and armor. He has a skull head with a pair of short pointed horns emerging from the top of his cranium. Flames burn from his empty eye sockets. His left hand is in the air, crushing a solo style cup full of beer very messily. Page Simmons laughs in the foreground. Second Panel: A shorter figure wearing the same armor is collapsed on the floor clutching a visibly shattered arm and hand. he is a young Latino man in his twenties, with brown skin and fluffy dark hair. He is also horrified. Page squats down next to Thunderskull while pointing at his injured arm. The solo style cup i son the floor as is a mess of liquid from the beer. In the background of this panel sits a dresser with a retro sound system on it. A signature reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2023"

This one was kinda tricky for me since I normally try to make Thunderskull's head anatomically correct and Akira Toriyama was super cartoony when drawing skulls.

I like how this came out!

#OCs #OCSky #Thunderskull #Skelly #OriginalCharacter
Thunderskull in the style of Akira Toriyama. He's a cartoony skeleton man wearing baggy pants and a hoodie that's jumping into the air as fire shoots from his eyes. Text on the image reads "Thunderskull Akira Toriyama style @NeilaK20"

THUNDERSKULL because he's on my mind and I think you dig him too, right?

He's on my mind a lot right now because thinking about him being a dork calms my brain.

I hope I did this right. If not, that's OK. Have a wonderful day! :D

A tall skeleton knight with horns and flaming eyesockets wearing armor and baggy clothing while cheerfully waving a small bi-sexual flag. In front of him walks Page Simmons, a white person wearing a dark suit and tie with boots who's waving six flags from shapeshifted additional arms. Their flags include: pan-romantic, nebulous gender, genderfluid, non-binary, trans, and asexual. Digital illustration of a party where Page Simmons is in a corner standing by a sound system looking at their phone. In the foreground is a busty elf woman who is laughing. Next to her is Thunderskull, tall skeleton man with horns,flaming eye sockets, and his right arm in a pink cast. In front of Thunderskull is Eterna, a tall teifling with short curly hair, dark skin, and long swept back horns holding a plate with a muffin on it. Behind them all is Neoni, a normal looking human woman walking toward Page. A signature on the illustration reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2023." Digital illustration of a messy bedroom decorated with anime wall scrolls, a full sized body pillow of a dragon person, unmade bed, glowing neon skull shaped lamp, dirty underwear and socks on the floor, and a large lawn skull made of cement. In the foreground is Thunderskull, a tall skeleton man with horns, wearing a Santa hat. Flames flit out of his empty eye sockets as he takes a photo of himself in a mirror. He's also wearing a large baggy black hoodie and has his right arm, which is still fleshy, in a pink cast held to his chest with a fabric strap. Text on the image reads "Season's Greetings!" and a signature reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2023"

Without downloading new pics, what is it like dating you?

(I haven't dated anyone since 2012...and I was bad at it back then too.)
Digital drawing, made with slightly curved perspective to make it feel unsettling, of a kitchen floor, on which sits a box made of human flesh wrapped in a dark suit with a white shirt. A single human ear is visible on the top next to a scalp that has longer hair and a shaved portion. This is Page Simmons. Don't worry, they're fine. A signature reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2023"

BONUS:

I didn't finish her today but also started drawing Carrie, Thunderskull's girlfriend in the AU story. She has a short skirt & a long jacket. Is VERY GOOD at killing video game mobs, including Thunderskull when they first met.

He respawns so it's fine.

I should draw their pet cat tomorrow
A skeleton man without a shirt holding a giant chainsaw on his shoulder. He's got horns and flaming eyesockets. He's wearing baggy pants and boots with spikes on the toes as well as gloves. Inside his ribcage sits a gold heart held in place with red fleshy lines. Next to him is a sketch of a girl with a ponytail, sword, shoulder and leg armor. She wears a trench coat over a shirt and short skirt. Looks happy to be next to a giant skeleton man. A signature reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2025" and "@NeilaK20" and "AU Thunderskull"

This one fit too well with my AU book about Thunderskull being a video game boss, so I had to draw that version. He's got a literal heart of gold held in place by viscera. :D

Cubism Thunderskull.

Today I learned I am very bad at this style despite being able to see things from more than one angle in my head at the same time. LOL I think I've just gotten too used to cleaning stuff up before I draw it?

I did that one a few years ago. I drew another one with him in human mode that you commissioned in 2023. >_>

Sickos meme recreated with my OC Thunderskull. He is a skeleton man with two small horns growing from his forehead above his flaming eyesockets.

I had to get this done today so I can focus on other things. I haven't done a lot of stuff for fun lately. I learned a lot.

Please enjoy Constantine doing that heart pose. 💜

Draw this in your style Thunderskull edition!

You can either draw this illustration of him in your style or just him in general as either his skeleton form or his Basic form.

I'm including the character design sheet with Page on it for size ref, though Thunderskull can be taller than this.

#DTIYS
Digital illustration of a messy bedroom decorated with anime wall scrolls, a full sized body pillow of a dragon person, unmade bed, glowing neon skull shaped lamp, dirty underwear and socks on the floor, and a large lawn skull made of cement. In the foreground is Thunderskull, a tall skeleton man with horns, wearing a Santa hat. Flames flit out of his empty eye sockets as he takes a photo of himself in a mirror. He's also wearing a large baggy black hoodie and has his right arm, which is still fleshy, in a pink cast held to his chest with a fabric strap. Text on the image reads "Season's Greetings!" and a signature reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2023" Character design sheet for Page Simmons and Thunderskull showing two of Page's forms and two of Thunderskull's forms. First is Page's Basic, or non-shapeshifted form where they are assigned female and not very tall. They have light hair that's shaved on the sides and long on top, brushed to one side and wear a dark suit and tie with black tanker style boots. Second is their masculine form where they are about a head taller than their Basic and assigned male, wearing the same suit and tie. Below those two is text that reads "Page Simmons." After that is Thunderskull's demon knight form where he's a seven foot tall skeleton with horns and flaming eye sockets wearing a cuirass with shoulder armor on top of a long sleeve black shirt, dark jeans, and black boots. After that is Thunderskull's Basic human form where he's short, young, Latino man with great hair, light brown skin, an over-sized armor shaped hoodie, and his right arm in a pink cast held up by a sling. He's got some great medieval style boots on over tight jeans.

Happy birthday, Rem!

I would be honored if you drew my guys. I need to draw some of yours too if I have time. ;A; Totally cool if you don't draw my OCs though. You're great! Happy birthday, again! <3
Two drawings of Mokie the Wild Guess. He's a fluffy read ball of a creature with a bunny head sporting rams horns, floppy ears, cat paws, a possum tail, and big red bird wings. The top picture shows him sitting with his tongue sticking out of his mouth while the bottom picture shows him hopping in the air with his wings spread. Digital illustration of a messy bedroom decorated with anime wall scrolls, a full sized body pillow of a dragon person, unmade bed, glowing neon skull shaped lamp, dirty underwear and socks on the floor, and a large lawn skull made of cement. In the foreground is Thunderskull, a tall skeleton man with horns, wearing a Santa hat. Flames flit out of his empty eye sockets as he takes a photo of himself in a mirror. He's also wearing a large baggy black hoodie and has his right arm, which is still fleshy, in a pink cast held to his chest with a fabric strap. Text on the image reads "Season's Greetings!" and a signature reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2023" Character design sketches showing two versions of Detective Page Simmons and two versions of Thunderskull. For Page there is one shorter and more feminine version with the other taller and more masculine with broad shoulders. In both forms Page wears a dark blueish black suit and tie with black boots. They have light skin and blondish brown hair that's shaved on the sides and back but long on top. Thunderskull's two forms are a tall skeleton with a pair of spiked horns growing from the top front of his skull and flames from his eye sockets. In this version he wears chest and shoulder armor over a loose longsleeve shirt with black pants and boots while holding a small red solo cup in one hand. Thunderskull's second form is a short, thin, Latino man with fluffy brown hair and brown skin. He wears an oversized hoodie that's shaped like armor and has his right arm in a pink cast that's held up by an off-white strap. He also wears tight black pants and brown lace up boots. Digital illustration of Detective Page Simmons. They're a white person with hair that's shaved on the sides and back but long on top. Page wears a dark suit and tie and carries two cups in a drink carrier along with a bag of food from a fast food restaurant called "Burger Hat." They have on heavy black boots but their left foot is kicking forward as their boot transforms into an inline skate. Page appears to be amused by this.

Digital illustration of Page Simmons, a white person with hair that's shaved on the sides and back but long on the top, flying through the air. Page wears a dark suit and tie with heavy black boots. They have jet wings and engines growing from their back. A giant rattlesnake mouth is open behind Page, about to swallow them whole. Beyond the snake head is a spray of blood and gore that comes from the destroyed arm of a winged man who wears a white suit and tie. A signature on the image reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2023" Mokie the Wild Guess. He's a fluffy red critter with bunny ears, ram horns, bird wings, and a possum tail. In one drawing he sits with his wings folded to his side and feet splooted out. In the next he's hopping in the air with his wings spread out and floppy ears flapping. He's got his tongue sticking out in all images. Digital illustration of a gigantic shapeshift explosion. Blood and gore are flung away as the mass of flesh, swords, chainsaws, a pickup truck, kitchen sink, cellphone tower, support struts, giant crab legs, get engines bird wings, and massive gaping wolf mouth full of still more swords, chainsaws, and teeth surrounds a small winged human wearing a white suit. This giant meatsplosion is also Page Simmons. They're fine but the guy they just exploded out of is horrified. A signature reads "Sarah 'Neila" Elkins 2023" Mokie the wild guess flying while holding a shotgun. He's a fluffy red critter with bunny ears, ram horns, bird wings, and a possum tail.

Added a little more to this today very quickly since I had 30 minutes to spare this afternoon. This is quickly becoming my 'wind down from work' project for now instead of writing.

Please enjoy Thunderskull moving a bit more.

This #WIP is not near done but I started it awhile back when I heard Blue October's new single "Hot Stuff" and that they were encouraging people to make music videos.

Not sure when I'll finish animating it since I rarely have time to work on it due to workwork.

Please enjoy #BlueHotStuff

Two figures wearing suits look up at the camera. The person on the left has on a messy brown suit and tie, his short hair is also a mess. This is Detective Eugene Windgate. The person next to him wears a blue-sh black suit and tie. Their hair is a lighter brownish-blonde and their skin is more pale. A mass of things, mechanical and biological grow from their left arm, including but not limited to: an alligator head, dragon wing, motorcycle engine block, ceiling support beams, giant coconut crab legs and body, kitchen sink, brick wall, multiple chainsaws, bird wing, wolf head, jet engine, another human arm and torso, and a cube that's wearing the same suit and tie as the rest of that figure. A human ear and hair are visible on the meatcube. This is Detective Page Simmons. Text on the image reads "Book of CoL: The Ember Child." A signature at the bottom reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2022" Digital illustration of a pile of rubble that was once the nightclub called "Stick Shifter's." Debris rains from the sky, including a bar tap and stool, as a broad shouldered buff figure in a dark suit and tie steps forward. This figure is Detective Page Simmons. Their hair is shaved on the sides with the longer portion whipping in the wind. Their left hand looks normal but their right is partially forming as if it's made from liquid. Their right leg and boot are planted on a large piece of rubble but their left leg is a warped set of tendrils and metal and eyes that is emerging from the rubble.

Here, have another one of Rebecka that's maybe a year older:
A pencil drawing from 2003 when i was a kid. From left to right: a cat girl with a sword wearing a poncho, a boy laying in the grass, a big dog laying in the grass, a girl holding a giant twin blade axe while wearing viking armor and a fuzzy skirt with boots. She's sitting on a box labeled "Bob" that has a dinosaur eye peering though a hole.
