    A character concept I've been picking away at over the past few weeks and months, based on my logo. I nicknamed it Machineon for now.

    It might still undergo a couple of changes in the future (e. g. I might think of a more interesting tail design), but I'm quite happy so far!

    Digital drawing of a mammalian ceature of unknown species floating against a dark background. It has dark fur, long, pointy ears and an evil grin. Its canines and claws are made of metal and it has a big cogwheel around its neck. Its pupil-less eyes are emitting a bright yellow glow.

    "My head was throbbing from the static air and the monotonous humming that had slowly been growing louder as millions of tiny chitinous bodies encircled her like an abhorrent shield. A twitch of an ear and they would burst into shapeless clouds and quickly take on new formations.

    'I'm not like other girls.' Her words from earlier dug their way back into my mind, along with the smirk she had given me; a smirk that had now turned into a lipless grin."

    Old art from 2011.

    I just found this 2012 doodle named "ArtWTF.jpg" while looking for something else, and if this isn't a mood I don't know what is, lmao. Same, art-blocked past self, same. :coolsad:

    Oh for duck's sake, Affinity has been bought by Canva.

    If you've been on the fence about buying the Affinity Suite V2, I recommend buying it on sale the next chance you get. I'll eat my hat if V3 doesn't become a subscription model.

    Making a little thread to introduce my original characters and show off some old artwork!

    This is Cibex, my long-time fursona created in late 2003. She's a cat/ibex hybrid who lives in an abandoned factory. She's more of a standalone character these days, but I still love her dearly. She turns 20 this year, can you believe it? 😱

    Digital drawing of Cibex dancing in a dimly lit club. She's wearing industrial-style clothing and doing the metal horns gesture.
    Traditional drawing of quadrupedal cibex in an orange and yellow tinted industrial setting. She's holding a piece of chain between her teeth and glares at the viewer.

    My fursona and alter ego Sciasm, created in 2020. I have no idea what species she is – I just went with whatever was fun to draw.

    There's not much art of her yet, but I'm working on changing that. 😎

    Traditional, stylized portrait of Sciasm.
    Digital drawing of Sciasm, imitating the Ben Affleck meme. She's holding a pencil instead of a cigarette and has an exasperated expression.

    My character Gith, Cibex' demonic counterpart from another dimension, created in 2004. He's her protector and voice of reason, even though not always of the wholesome kind. They look out for each other because if one dies, so does the other.

    A traditional portrait of Gith done in black markers and graphite.
    A digital comic with three panels, depicting Gith having a monologue towards poor Cibex with a shit-eating grin. First panel: "Well, Boo-hoo. Newsflash, Crybaby: You are not entitled to anyone's attention." Second panel: "If you don't wanna lose 'em for real, you better keep your mouth shut. Nobody likes a whiny brat." Third panel: "Negativity disgusts people. Swallow your self-pity and nod and smile..."
    Digital portrait of Gith in a dark industrial environment. He is looking directly at the viewer, baring his teeth, and his eyes glow bright blue.
