Fei, Bart, and Emeralda inside the Zeboim konbini. Bart and Fei in the foreground, checking out the old magazines of Gear info. Bart looking intrigued at finally learning how to activate Hyper mode, Fei looking up from the zine curiously towards the sounds ringing throughout the cavern outside. Em is behind the counter, pulling the string of the half broken blinds, looking out the broken dirty glass of the window. A grey light filters through the windows into the dim room, dust in the air, cobwebs in the corners.

Just two dads accompanying the little one on a trip to see her hometown and maybe take out a dragon or two while they're down there.

Shitan standing in his battoujutsu pose, having just sheathed his sword after performing his deathblow Festive Wind. Shadowed, eyes obscured by his glasses, bright yellow full moon glowing in the background behind him, standing in a ripple of water, mist covering the area, with text in glowing gold beside him vertically: 風の唄 敬り逝くものの 鎮魂歌

My first past-art Xenotober entry. I realized I hadn't properly tagged it as PP back then.

My first #Xenotober2025 entry, for

Day26 賢者(sage)

The first Elehayym, Persona, nude and covering her chest just like in her only appearance, hair splaying out and bubbles around her. The simple background is mimicking the colors of the gold machinery around Zohar and the life assembler plant pod Elly is created within, Kadomony.

Bust shot of Rico Banderas, facing directly at the viewer, using one of his Spirit (気合い) abilities, giving a great shout (as the Japanese prompt is 気合, what was translated in the English version of the game as "Spirit", as in "fighting spirit".

AO3 screenshot of an excerpt from sleep alone, by Elendraug. The site skin is Reversi, a dark mode viewing option in storm grey. Behind it, everything is black like a void, like space. In large, crossed-out header text: A.D. 2007—2022 Below it, the musical notation for a caesura, two slash marks which denote "a brief, silent pause, during which metrical time is not counted." (per Wikipedia) Below that, the musical notation for a ghost note, a tiny x. From Wikipedia, it is "a musical note with a rhythmic value, but no discernible pitch when played." At last, again in large header text: T.C. 4740—4768

Redraw of a scene in Xenosaga 1. MOMO looking confident and proud, arms behind her back, with a text box saying "I'm built a lot tougher than I look" to Ziggy who's in the foreground with his back to us.

AO3 screenshot of an excerpt from "of infinite space" by Elendraug. Reddish text on a greyish background, ringed with a green glow. “It took us twenty years.” Gaignun closes his eyes and kisses the impression of his fingerprints and exhales over his skin before blinking back to the unreal reality of sunken soil and neutron stars, of the one and only willing to forever wait. “To die. To sleep.” “To weave and unweave.” Jr. holds his hands at the gates of hell, passing the bullet-trained shuttle through everything looming over their heads, reworking and pulling at plot threads as long as it takes, the patterns acquiring slight variance each time until there are radical departures in continuity, coursing their navigation to where they need to be, one ray-traced path at a time, still unmade as soon as another someone glances away and the events are no longer actively observed, as a recreated record of love in an instance of their own Ithaca. “To write and rewrite.”

Digital drawing of little chibi heads of the main Xenosaga cast. Shion is with a cappuccino, Junior is with an energy drink, chaos is with a very long and specific take-out coffee order, MOMO is with a peach tea, Ziggy is sadly thinking about a black coffee, and KOS-MOS is a shock hazard.
