#MachineAtArms

Rough pencil drawing of sorXa, a tall red-haired muscular gynoid, color-shifted to be a reddish magenta. She's viewed slightly from above and to her right, and she's glancing up int he general direction of the viewer. She has a red bob cut, orange wavy bangs framing her face, and a matching cowlick dangling over her forehead. She's wearing a cropped athletic jacket and nothing else.

Turns out all it took to break my art block a bit was getting bored at my future SIL's bridal shower on Saturday because the Mad Libs game handout was done wrong and thus deciding to use the crappy little wooden pencil to sketch a sorXa on the back instead of filling it out
#OC #MachineAtArms

Pencil drawing colorshifted to approximate the trans pride colors (with blue for dark values, pink for midtones, and white for highlights). A tall muscular gynoid with long wavy hair and a pale face cuddles her girlfriend, a shorter heavyset Black woman with short undercut locs. The gynoid is unclothed, but the coloring of her body from the neck down resembles a dark bodysuit, and she has a T-shaped line down each of her cheeks. The human woman is sitting between her girlfriend's legs, looking over her shoulder at her and caressing the side of her head. She's wearing goggles over her forehead, a white tanktop, a neckerchief, and coveralls with the sleeves tied around her waist. A heart floats up from each of them. Text: "Happy TDoV!!"

She has dark sclerae, gold irises, red lips, and a T-shaped line going down each cheek. Below the neck her skin is dark purple aside from her fingers. She's wearing a reddish leather jacket with a sherpa/fleece lining, a white open-backed turtleneck croptop, and white short-shorts with deep pockets sticking out. She's glancing to the side and smiling with one hand on her hip.

Happy International Women's Day and US Women's 23 Hours! Just barely managed to finish drawing sorXa with a new outfit before midnight Eastern time ^^;;

#MachineAtArms #OC

Pencil drawing of three girls (Jenna, they/she; Violet, she/her; and Selena, it/she) hugging under the text "happy Valentimes" (spelling intentional). Jenna has their hair up in a messy bun with wavy bangs framing their face, Violet has a shaven head with only fuzz remaining and a pierced right eyebrow, and Selena has its hair up in a ponytail and a bandage on its crooked nose.

What time is it? IT'S VALENTIMES!!
What're we gonna get? SEVERAL GIRLS!

feat. Jenna (they/she), Violet (she/her), and Selena (it/its unless you refer to the Moon with she/her, in which case you unlock she/her for Selena)

#OC #MachineAtArms #Valentines

Digitally-colored pencil drawing of a tall red-haired muscular gynoid doing a magical girl transformation in a field of golden blobs of ether. Her cropped jacket is disintegrating from the sleeves first, the cuffs at her wrists are separating and emitting more gold ether, and the purple skin of her body is turning bright magenta. She has a pale face with T-shaped lines down each cheek, and a band of pale skin around her neck resembling a choker.

Happy in-universe transiversary and 3rd real-world rebirthday to sorXa!!! 💖💖💖

Well, aside from the obvious Selena loving (worshipping?) the Moon I wouldn't say any of my characters currently have much interest in space in general? Which is admittedly because I myself don't have much interest in space either, so it's not something I think of when writing OCs
#MachineAtArms

Tumblr post by me. "What if people asked me questions about my OCs. Wouldn't that be neat.

What if. Imagine.
#MachineAtArms #OC

Assortment of 12 drawings (one per month), plus a selfie of a heavyset white trans woman with wavy brown hair and glasses.

A pretty decent year for art all things considered, especially the advent of sorXa's long hairstyle

Digitally-colored pencil drawing of a tall, muscular, red-haired gynoid with a ponytail, a white sleeveless croptop with red strands connecting down the front, a red two-strapped belt with a gold buckle, and white cargo pants with holes between the pockets. She has a T-shaped line running down each cheek, orange bangs tucked into her ponytail, a matching wavy cowlick over her forehead, golden eyes with dark purple sclerae, and red lips. Her face, fingers, and a choker-like band of skin around her neck are all pale, while the rest of her skin is dark purple. She has her right hand on her hip as she stares off to the viewer's right and smirks.

sorXa's cargo pants and croptop make their triumphant return just before midnight. Truly a Decemberween mackerel

She's smiling and glancing to the side as sweat drips down her face and body.

Neglected to post this Heather when I drew her a few weeks ago, but you can have it now
#MachineAtArms #OC

Digitally-colored pencil drawing of a fat robot girl who's red, white, and grey. She has gold eyes and dark sclerae, visible joints, and a collar of sorts protruding from her collarbone. Her wavy hair is shaved on the left so you can see her robotic scalp and robot ear. She's sitting on an invisible ledge and giving a V for victory handsign while smiling sheepishly.

Finally have a design for my sona that I like

She's wearing olive green coveralls with black reinforcement over the front of the legs over a black sports bra, as well as black goggles around her neck, black gloves, and grey-and-black boots. The coveralls are partially off, exposing her upper arms and abs.

A tall (6½ feet) Arab man with bleached-blond hair except for a streak of black with a cowlick dangling from it. He's wearing the same coveralls as the woman, but now you can see the chest pockets. He's also wearing behind-the-head white-and-yellow headphone-shaped hearing aids, a gold eyebrow piercing, black fingerless gloves with gold studs on the knuckles, a white undershirt, and grey-and-black boots with gold zippers and a black stripe down each side.

An anthropoid with a white, bright green, and grey shell, gold eyes with black sclerae, and a green strip running down its chin. It's wearing a sleeveless version of the same green coveralls, which have also been cropped to have short legs. The leg reinforcements are gone, with only the holes from their rivets remaining.

Digitally-colored pencil drawing of a tall red-haired gynoid wearing Bridget's outfit from Guilty Gear Strive (using her red alternate palette). She's posed like Bridget's key art (walking forward with her yo-yo held high and swinging Roger behind her), but Roger is replaced with a plush of a grey cat with a long brown vest, beige pants, brown boots and gloves, a green button eye, and a white eyepatch.

Pencil sketch of a low-detail chunky robot with a dragon-like head. It has plantigrade feet.

Pencil sketch of a robot with the same head, but with a lankier build and digitigrade feet. She's holding a spear.

The robot with a chunky plate-armor-like design and digitigrade feet, an energy sword, and thrusters coming from the back.

The previous design, refined to have fluted accents like gothic plate harness.

Redesigning Valia for #MachineAtArms is hard, as it turns out

This design isn't finalized but I think I'm happy with the direction it's going (even though I'm sad about the loss of her iconic scarf, which she's had from day 1)

Digitally-colored pencil drawing of a tall muscular red-haired gynoid and a less tall heavyset white woman with dark brown hair holding each other. The gynoid is wearing a white and red cropped jacket and giving a "peace" sign with her left hand, while the human woman is wearing silver glasses, a multicolored cardigan with red, orange, beige, and white stripes, a black "sweetheart"-neck top, and blue jeans while resting her head against the gynoid's breast.

October 16th is the day I observe the 20th anniversary of sorXa's creation date, her canon birthday, and the 3rd anniversary of me deciding once and for all that I wanted to live as a woman!

#MachineAtArms

Digitally colored pencil drawing of a tall muscular Black man with his thumbs tucked in his pockets and glancing off to the side. He has short hair with long sideburns, and golden eyes. He's wearing a blue t-shirt with white blocks of color around each side of his waist, tucked into a pair of black cargo pants with white reinforcement at the knee and a third pair of pockets on the calves, and short blue boots with white straps and soles. He has a pair of dogtags around his neck with a sword blade-shaped hole in them.

It took about 2½ years but I think I finally have a fully colored outfit for Alex that I kinda sorta don't entirely hate (still not sold on the knee protection, but the rest works IMO)
