Hello there!

I go by Xochilex, or Xochi for short. I'm an illustrator and motion designer and I mainly draw and post about whatever nerdy thing I'm currently into. I mostly post digital art, but I may also share some traditional art and my mini painting projects from time to time!

#xochiart
Illustration of Morrigan from Darkstalkers. She is wearing a black tube top with a shear top underneath. Her sleeves are also shear fabric. The moon shines behind her with unnatural pinks and purples. Her shiny green hair floats and covers much of the composition Illustration of Avacyn from MtG. The drawing is a half body of an angel facing to the left, so that her face is in full profile. She wears pauldrons and a breastplate of black metal, with black sleeves. Her flowing white hair is left as solid white and unrendered, starkly contrasting the rest of the illustration Illustration of Yuriko from Magic: the Gathering. She stands triumphantly on a rooftop. The moon is behind her, with a silhouette of a tiger's head. The illustration plays with negative space, such that Yuriko's hair and clothes blends into the darkness of the background. Illustration of a cyclops girl with a big horn growing from her forehead, above her single eye. She is wearing an off the shoulder crop top which blends into the soft color of the background.

If I could give one food tip to folks it is this:

Buy a big thing of Tony Chachere's original Creole seasoning. It can make even the cheapest, blandest food taste pretty damn good. Only have plain white rice or beans? Maybe some eggs? Throw some on, done. Instantly delicious.

quote with your starry art 🔭
A surreal digital artwork depicting a young woman with short, wavy hair, whose eyes and part of her face are obscured by an arc-shaped band of starry space. The space band includes planets and celestial bodies orbiting around her head, blending with her hair. She wears a dark, high-necked outfit that appears to merge with the starry background, giving the impression that she is part of the cosmos. The color scheme is a mix of soft ochre tones and deep space purples.

An illustration of a beautiful elf with red hair, yellow/orange eyes, and golden birthmarks (like veins) that travel from his bottom lip across his chest and over his right shoulder. He has dangling golden hoop earrings with a blue gem and red tassels. Across his chest lies a golden harness with many chains and gold leaf charms. A sheer red shawl slides off his shoulders. He is being held up by another elf, A fat, older elf man with light gray skin, long half black and white hair, a short goatee, black antlers, and dark eyes with neon green highlights. He's wearing black spiked pauldrons and a black cloak and waist wrap that reveals his chest and stomach. His body hair is all white, which is revealed by his armor. Their faces are close, as if about to kiss one another. The younger elf with red hair has a soft expression, smiling as he brushes his hand against the older man's face. Light red blush spreads across his face, and his eyes glow a dull gold. The older elf smirks confidently at him, almost teasingly, as he leans back into the pose, a hand holding up the other elf by his behind. They are posed in a lavishly decorated room, a roaring fireplace behind them, which glows with yellow light.

This really is a must read for anyone in academia.
When my business school colleagues insist that ChatGPT is “just another tool in the toolbox,” I’m tempted to remind them that Facebook was once “just a way to connect with friends.” But there’s a difference between tools and technologies. Tools help us accomplish tasks; technologies reshape the very environments in which we think, work, and relate. As philosopher Peter Hershock observes, we don’t merely use technologies; we participate in them. With tools, we retain agency—we can choose when and how to use them. With technologies, the choice is subtler: they remake the conditions of choice itself. A pen extends communication without redefining it; social media transformed what we mean by privacy, friendship, even truth.

hey do you want to show appreciation to your loved ones in discord dms or other places that use markdown, but struggle with earnest vulnerability? boy howdy, look no further!

(alternatively, if the meaningful message doesn’t matter, just take a sharpie to a letter and send it in the mail) #comic
2 panel comic titled “A Guide to Telling Your Friends How Much You Love Them” by Alex Plante 1. write a nice, vulnerable heartfelt message. struggle to hit "send" because society has dumb implied rules, and you are a COWARD. [drawing] message that reads: hey I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad we're friends! I'm a better person than I was before I met you, and knowing you has improved my life in every way. Thanks for always being there for me! Nothing makes me happier than dicking around and talking shit with you. I will always be there, fighting in your corner. Love you forever (or until I die) <3 2. strategically place spoiler tags. now it's funny, so you HAVE to send it, or go to jail for the crime of "not committing to the bit" haha get cherished, losers! [drawing] same message, but words have been redacted to make it read: “hey just wanted to tell you that I’m a better person than you in every way. Thanks for Nothing dick shit. I will fight you forever until I die.”

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.
