Effy and Fuchsia talking humorously. Effy asks “So if we had sex, would it be 1/4th gay?!” Fuchsia nervously responds with “I suppose…” The background is purple with some blue mixed shadows.

First time using Clip Studio Paint, be patient please
Effy is now tan
#clipstudiopaint #ocart
Effy redesign concept. He has tan skin. A light pink tank top woth dark purple lining, a light blue stripe and dark blue stripe against the chest, and a dark red cross out symbol on the middle of the tanktop. The same symbol lays in the middle of his bottom pectorals. He has dark jeans with white and pink stripes at the side. A light yellow string is tied into bow within the belt holders of the jean. He has pink sneakers with a pink back symbol, a star engraved onto it. He has long, blue hair that gradients to cyan at the bottom. His right hand has a pink scrunchie around his wrist. His left hand has a thin black bracelet and a light pink ribbon. One pose is him shocked, stating “Woah, What happened?” As his hands are in the air. Another is him opening his mouth, his fangs are visible. One is where he is standing surprised. The other is bust up, saying “sorry, this is really new.” With a sheepish expression

The main protagonist of fantasy life i is way too nice it’s kinda pmo… I get the Japanese values, but man I just want to be blunt about it

Speaking of which have my fantasy life character Bayosoleil, they use they/them
(check alt for more info)
#fantasylife #fantasylifei #fantasylifecharacter
Bayosoleil in both Fantasy Life 3DS and Fantasy Life i. FL3DS Bayos wears the Dancer Outfit, with the Scissors Pony tail haircut, which resembles a Kitsune tail. They are smiling at the viewer. FLi Bayos is wearing a red dress with intricate straps. They have demon-horn like drills of hair, braids drape from the hair around them. They have Forest Dweller ears. They have a cold gaze. They both have yellow eyes. FLi Bayosoleil in the Novice Hunter Outfit in Fantasy Life i. They are smiling with one hand on their hip and one giving a thumbs up to the viewer. Below their arm is “The best hunter has their tits out”. Bayosoleil is somewhat well-endowed.

(Describe the plot of your comic in one panel)

This is an extremely outdated version of SPY EFFY ngl
Don’t take this at face value, it’s getting rewritten heavily
SPY EFFY runs to the left of the screen. He says “Nothing. Just looking down on corporate greed.” The communicator on his ear responds with “The usual, huh? Keep your head in the game. Karma’ll bite their asses sooner than you think.”

The mind horse of mine, Aristotle the Virtuous Stallion from my oc universe, Tales of Veinbuzz
I’ll make an actual ref for him someday.
A large, burly horse with curly hair. He has a headdress that covers a small part of his hair. His face is stoically stiff.

Persona art
#artpersona #personaart
Salten is sitting, his legs bent as he looks up with his hand out slightly, reaching for Spyke upwards. Salten is smiling, a long, lock of hair is draped over his right. His free hand rests on top of his waist. Spyke sits upward in the same position, their hand out slightly reaching for Salten’s. Their face is neutral. In the middle are small sketches of Effy, Fuchsia, Bernard, Gladwyn, and Kyuunolo. All original characters. Same picture, now upside down.

Because there’s been a lot of discussion of Ghibli, I’ve decided to recommend an underrated Ghibli movie!!! Please watch The Tale of Princess Kaguya, it is a retelling of the famous Japanese myth of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. It is beautifully animated and emotional!
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya is the title upwards, Kaguya-hime is downwards with a bright smile on her face. Her skin is light and her hair dark grey, straight and somewhat messy. Her hands are open as she reaches for a cherry blossom petal. Her kimono is cherry blossom styled. Cherry blossom petals fall from the sky.

me frothing at the mouth trying not to recommend revolutionary girl utena despite it being the most crucial animes in history, with clear character arcs and explorations, along with clear extended metaphors and conceits that tackle real life societal issues with gender identity and sexuality
Ethan MacManus from Ctrl Alt Del snapping an object of screen. He is tweaking. TLDR: watch Revolutionary Girl Utena (make sure to look up the trigger list!) NOW!!!!!!!!

Asui lies upper in the screen, grinning madly. His right eye glows red. His hair elongates and encloses his brother, Aran, who is lower at Asui’s right. Aran’s eye glows green. The flowing hair separates the art piece into various parts. Lower right half has a wheat field with several wheat plants sporting blood on its tips. The top right has scales (which I did not render at all btw) Upper left has spider lilies branching from the bottom left, where a heartbeat is shown slowly decreasing. Saturated version of the first. None eye glow version of the first. Saturated non-eye glow of the first.

This is the Grim Geek, he’s very much an “I know” simply due to his fierce self-confidence and knowledge of his own power.

Grim Geek, standing tall with his hands outstretched, his left hand points upwards while the other hand is outstretched upwards. See previous posts for alt description.
