"Mine."

"It's funny, y'know", she crooned whilst a toying smooth glove tilted the drones head slightly with a forefinger-and-thumb; her gesture trying to gauge what resistance remained with. "I have never realised how much that you are mine." After a brief satisfied exhalation, the loose guidance of the chin turned into a mild passing caress of a cheek as she looked up at the indoctrinates distant stare, closing the gap between them. "Of all of those I've pressed into my service, Lel, you are the only one truly seems to enjoy it. You are my most loyal right hand; my righteous defender, my brave soldier, and the executor of my will. Completely and utterly mine."

Still got the "drone brain rot", and so I finished that sketched up piece! Considering it was 2023 Hypnovember artjam that sort of reaffirmed a want to play around with this concept originally, and now is leading into this story/world I am building, only seems apt to give a piece fitting of it again in November!

On a side note; I really quite like how the lighting came out! :)

We'll see if I can do some more at a point soon. :D

Update of the Doc and her favourite right-hand-drone/lady(/toy); Lel.

Still some work to be done, but we are getting there. Might rework the arm in the rearground as the pose is a little off. :S But liking it so far! (lighting might kill me later on!)

More Drone Brainrot Stuff

I am alive, and still doing some arts on the side. And at the possible risk of typecasting ones art even further, here are some more drone-y pieces/doodles in progress or as of late. (Although I have worked on some other pieces, but most of that is my Twitch PNGtuber which I am not sure people are really interested in seeing!) Considering a lot of this material and its subsequent story/world I have dreamt up was very much driven by #hypnovember last year, perhaps I should so something in this November to mark the occassion? Seeming as much as its very much suggestive/kink/kink-adjacent concepts, I do kinda like this story running around in my head... Maybe? Maybe not? :\ IDK. (Side note: I'm still debating if I want to do 30 doodles again this November as that nearly destroyed me when combined with little free time / time to decompress from work!) Anyhoozles, enjoy. ~ hexitart

Doodle of Slix

Whilst trying to pull myself out of this "art-block pit" I found myself in, my muse decided to partake the pin-up brainrot and so here we have a quick doodle of Slix, my slug gal.

For a character whom was originally intended as a one-off parody on Bunny-Girl Attire (because surely you could try making a similar look with a creepy/icky creature type, right? Thus began the "slug suit", and then anthro-ing it...), she's certainly stuck around a fair bit :P

Enjoy...? :P (Perhaps I might make it into a proper pic, and rework some of the posing)

[hexitart]

Hither

She could sense them there; these strange elusive gestures, calls and connections toying at the sheer limits of her perceptability. Like fragments of a dream when awake; every attempt to make sense of them caused it to dissolve away under the scrutiny. Yet they compelled. They whispered. They beckoned... Zoe exhaled deeply, and reluctantly dipped her sense of self below the surface, unsure what would happen next... ---

(At the risk of typecasting oneself, as there has been other arts since my last submission...)

Been working on this for the last few days, on-and-off, and is part of a potential bigger project/idea offshooting from last years Hypnovember doodles, but I will admit it is on the back-burner.

Quite enjoy how it came out, even if its a little... abstract? (And I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with the fullsize variant of this!)

Enjoy!

(I'll try to upload something less... drone-y next time?)

The Games Gods Play (Sketch)

In the D&D campaign I run, the current arc is leading towards a powerfully sad, but potentially bittersweet climax.

Two beloved NPC characters the players (and I as the Dunger Master for that matter) adore, Izzi (an adorably dappy and blithe kobold druid) and Quibble (a booksmart-yet-a-nervous-wreck forgeborn) are in both in mortal peril... from eachother.

In short; the acolytes of a twisted and insidious demi-god have practically abducted Izzi; filling her head with their dark messiahs doctrine, beliefs and ideologies in the hopes she will be a perfect sacrificial puppet for the next parts of their plans; an eldritch voice to call upon the locations of thier flayed deity.

Quibble, manipulated and blackmailed by the Goddess of Nightmares, has been shown countless would-be-futures that end in the demise of all. His friends, his new home... his world; a playground for the whims of a perverse dark lord. And the lynchpin, the Goddess believes, is a certain kobold if allowed to succumb to the corruptive influences.

So the players have been hot on Quibbles heels; realizing he has become a reluctant assassin for a being who is capitalising on his own fears and worrisome nature.

... and so I feel compelled to draw a scene where it will all lead to; where both their lives hang in the balance, and where I hope the players/characters compassion and love will resolve this without bloodshed or loss. I intend to make it into a full splash screen for this arcs closing episode(s), even if it emotionally hurts to look at.

I will admit; I'm bricking myself with this arcs conclusion. I've never done something so emotionally intense before as a Dungeon Master, and the fact I have to voice/act both these two loveable wrecks is going to kill me especailly as I've been practicing their pleas, possible-replies and variations on monologues/moments... I practically tear-up every time. I'm also filled with a sense of dread that this entire arc paints me as a person as a dark/depressive entity. And I know that's likely not the case... but its hard to shake, y'know? I know it's serving the greater narrative and story, but yeah... CONCERN.

PEWPEW SILVER

My poor D&D drow artillerist, Qeln, who is the de-facto arcana expert of The Circlebreakers (as we smash evil magic circles!) is finding it harder and harder to second-guess the BBEG, and some new encounters have derailed his internal "red-stringing"! :P

I'm sure it'll all make sense soon Qeln. That, or you'll need more string. XD

Inspired by the classic Pepe Silvia meme

What is your (least) favorite dnd monster/curse/player character "species" (idk what term to use for warforged)? Also, which Star Trek Captain?

Firstly; first ever ask, so thanks for that! :) In regards to least favourite D&D character monsters/species/playable races, I have a weird aversion to dragonborn. And to be honest; I'm not exactly sure as to why! I think it might be on some level it sort of screws around with 'the majesty' (so to speak) of actual dragons in settings/campaigns...? But as said; I'm not sure really as to why! Perhaps I might need to explore this a bit more. (As for monsters in general; HARPIES. So many bad memories of those and thier TPKing songs! I remember a pre-written campaign that used them to ridiculous extent...!) In regards to Captains of Star Trek (I'm assuming you are infering favourite and least favourite)? Fav would probably be Picard due to a mixture of being raised in the era where he was prevalent on BBC2 (now that's showing my age!), and generally being more inspirational overall. ... (That being said, and likely obvious from a pic on my tumblr/Twitter; I have a soft-spot for Captain Shaw...!) As for least favourite Captain; Burnham. I just find it hard to connect with her character, although I will admit; trying to pick a least favourite is difficult as there is always redeeming and good qualities!

Lambda-37 / "Lel"

(cutting and pasting from my BlueSky...) "Lambda-37", or otherwise known affectionately as "Lel" for short by the Doc. Prior to her current "employment"; she was a Spec Ops officer for The Foundation. But after being left for dead by her former allies; she was rescued and given a new lease of life within Operon…

Finally finished the lighting and shading of the flat-colours for this on-stream. :)

[hexitart]

Lambda-37 / "Lel"

Whilst it is at a glacial pace; I am beginning to work on some of the concepts for this sci-fi dark romance/comedy story I have day-dreamed up called "Pliant". So I worked on one of the characters I've been thinking up; Lel.

Now, at the risk of just making it look like all I draw is drone/hypno quasi-kink/smut stuff; I thought I would share the pic so far as I quite like it.

I'll spare you all my waxing poetic about ideas, story tangents, etc. But cutting a long story short; she is the villains right-hand woman (or rather, in this case, drone). Although I will say, not all is at it seems with Lel as there is many reasons as to why she is quite loyal to the BBEG...

I'll likely work on this again to get a shaded version up in the next few days. Enjoy! :)

Coiled

An impromptu desaturated doodle of Smut (yes, thats her name) and some snake coiled up around her. I DUNNO. SEEMED A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME. XD

Making Friends!

I'm sure it's just a costume Zoe! No need to panic over 9 of 10, Primary Adjunct of Unimatrix 242 Nixie being very... erm, in character. It's all for show! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE SHARP NEEDLES!

Suffice to say; its a recurrent thing that at least once every one or two years, I end up drawing up a Borg-related piece. And it was about time for another! (Yes, I know; its an odd tradition!)

Drawn over the last few days, mostly streamed on my Twitch (same username as here!). Already have a few ideas for a sequel piece, but that won't be for a little while.

Enjoy? :P

Faithless

In yesterdays session of D&D, our partys half-orc warlock-sorcerer Maz (played by the sheerly brilliant RP-ing tour-de-force that is @fractalizing-grace ) succumbed to the power of an ancient evil artefact she decided to don and attune to. In a grim mixture of wanton knowledge against the threat and power to help protect against calamity, she had equipped the gauntlets with noble intentions. But over the session, her resolve eroded and she was now a herald for the ultimate evil.

We... we had a heart-wrenching and heart-breaking episode, with the remnants of our party trying to free her from this curse. But in turn; she brought her powers and new insidious abilities to bear, and with not much choice; we had to bring Maz down before she would kill us all.

So, here is a moment in time from when Maz became a twisted avatar of a would-be-god, and a gift for her brilliant player. Terrifyingly badass. :)

Zoe Concepts ("Guest", Astras Worker, Drone)

Zoe (Astras Worker), "Doctor S" (Normal & Armoured), "Lambda 37" Drone (Doc's "Right Hand Drone") Concepts

More "Drone" Variation Concepts (Butler & Combat)

"Astras Foundation" Character Concept Doodles (Commander, Science Officer, Special Ops)

Thought I would share some concept doodles sort of semi-brought on from some of last years Hypnovember stuff and some villainous pics of the last couple of years. In short; I have been daydreaming a story playing on some of the ideas and characters I've had laying around. Not entirely sure this would ever gain traction, but I'm at least back-burner building this universe, characters and a narrative. I'm not sure if people would want an anthropomorphic sci-fi meets dark romance story with some comedic twists... But still, its fun to build on as I ponder. :)

I guess I'll see where this goes :D

... You Never Seen a Slug Before?

Recently acquired a new graphics tablet, and I have enterred the age of IT HAS A SCREEN IN IT! So, whilst learning the new workflow (and bemoaning I am going to have to rearrange my entire desk to fit this monster on it); I decided to have a little fun with a quasi-pinup of Slix.

Enjoy! :)

[hexitart]

*sigh* THINE BOI...!

Decided to make a silly doodle from my current (and only one so far) Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough after Withers decided to comment on my character, Rodney (Fighter, Battlemaster subclass) and his denial of his fellow partymembers advances.

Look, Vecna-lite; Rodney's love life is none of your dang undead business! :P XP

The Dreamer & The Weary / Talking to Myself

A small bit of vent-adjacent art.

In short; the end of year introspection and criticial analysis has been in overdrive. And in ways, that feels like having to be heavy handed with, well, aspects of myself.

I'm pretty sure we've all had to have these imaginary chats with ourselves from time to time.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year, and that you can push through whatever problems you have.
