two winged figures, a man and a woman; the woman is reaching toward the man, and that seems to scare him a little

This is up late, & I thought maybe this scene wasn't ready yet. But I like trying to more or less post on a schedule, so this is my Monday post.

(A blue lamia with glowing yellow hair stands tall on a mysterious flat surface.)

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 dunno, man. I like the new necklace colour design. I think I'll use that again.

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?
