Failed to post art yesterday. So today I decided to revisit some old scenes with the angel man.

( nudity )

I first designed devil and angel versions of my cartoon avatar thinking they'd be a shoulder devil and shoulder angel. Then I never, not in years, used them that way. (Unless I started to do and forgot, I guess.)

So Ellery gets a shoulder imp, scaled down (1:6) and on her shoulder, before cartoon Nia does!

I can't be bothered to put these two in pants right now, so nsfw. I figured I was just shooting Ellery from waist up, and I decided to let the imp be, well, impish. Also, I like the idea of Ellery's shoulder angel devil imp being a hermaphroditic wee brownie. ( Cut for bits. )

I tweaked devil Nia a bit. A bit more. She was mostly just me with horns. Now she has some physical tweaks; including fuller boobs, which should make it to regular cartoon Nia; and a tail that glows a little bit, which I'm not sure I'll even keep for devil Nia.

( nudity and stuff )

Oh. I have three different pieces from the last few days that I have only published on my trashy nsfw bluesky alt. Sorry.

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!"

This weekend I tried re-editing my angel shots from last week so the halos would both cast shadows and illuminate the area around them.

To mixed results?
