OK, I didn't do any new art for two, almost three, days. Sorry. Let's just pretend this is Thursday's post. It's a little late. It's still Thursday in Paris, right?

Trying to do a quick sketch without an actual set, ended up with an accidental Boris Vallejo quality in the postwork.

Shot another angle of this and lightened the sky.

OK, I did a sfw version. I think the colours of the lights are the aesthetic part anyway.

Evoking old SF covers here.

I noticed today that reimagining Ellery as a lamia is a weird case of me creating, or synthesising, things that would be meaningful to someone else in a way—but then me not playing them that way.

Ellery can come off as a non-binary character, & she's a little gender-nonconforming, but I basically write her as a cishet woman. (Meanwhile, my lesbian characters are overwhelmingly femme. e_e)

On the other hand, I have seen the lamia used as a symbol of trans femininity. Which I think I get? I'm more into the idea of a snake woman as a mystic, quasi-prophetic figure—or just someone alien.

Anyway, with the blue lamia, I'm thinking, "Monster girl! Make her glow blue!"

I framed the shot to ignore it, but the left forearm of this sweater is borked.

So encouraging e_e that the company that makes my tools changed how they work so much that the old hacks are just unavailable.

And I can't even run the old version of the program on this PC.
