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

( not safe for work )

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!"

Am I going to give this character another name at some point? Eh. I've thought about it, but this is who she is now.

I rendered this yesterday & didn't publish it because I thought it'd be better with modelled slither tracks in the ground. Now I look at it & don't care enough. So you get this version.

I'm not quite happy with this facial expression yet.
