New month, new pinned~

So, I'm Lex: a writer, artist, and lowkey crazy cat lady with a terrible case of brainrot centered around King and Blue Mary from KOF being besties. I'm also the captain of the KingxVanessa ship.

I'm happily married, into nerd shit, and swear a lot.

Please enjoy your stay!

A collage of art by thelexhex/illyrilex featuring Blue Mary hugging King from behind while wearing a cheeky grin, a silly version of King and Vanessa sloppily making out in a car while Mary drives from the backseat, Mai Shiranui wearing the casual mod outfit that I designed, Mary taking a mirror selfie, King holding a disaster bisexual flag, a sketch of Vanessa, and King yelling at Ángel ("Whatever with your 'nyaaan I will fucking lay you out!!!!") while Mary facepalms.

A collage of images drawn by thelexhex/illyrilex featuring King in her KOF XV select screen pose in an original outfit designed by me (LexHex mod), Team Women Fighters 03 beat up and holding up their middle fingers, Kind and Mary mugshots from the Barbie meme, Mai setting a spider on fire while a horrified Andy watches, King and Mary sitting on a bar stool together, with King grimacing because she has a dead leg since Mary is sitting on her thigh, and Vanessa sitting on a chair like in Basic Instinct (you know the scene).

A quick, really rough Mai sketch done with some new brushes I downloaded. Will I hate this later? Probably, but at least the the colours are pretty.

#FatalFury #COTW #KingofFighters #KOF #MaiShiranui #AlwaysCreditTheArtist

Quick sketch of Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, done in a multi-coloured blue brush that has some light green and indigo worked into it. She's leaning forward and there are other brush strokes visible becaus I was testing them out or whatever.

It's officially #KOFtober time but I'm being lazy about what I've done for today's prompt, which is Favourite SNK Character. It's a tie, which shouldn't be at all surprising if you've been coming here for a while 😁

#KOF #KingofFighters #King #BlueMary #UltimateBrotp #AlwaysCreditTheArtist

King from Art of Fighting and King of Fighters, holding a bottle of wine and looking toward the viewer. Previously uploaded an alternate colour scheme version of this but I'm reusing it with her KOF 94 palette because I was too lazy to do something new for today's KOFtober prompt. Illustrated by me -- thelexhex/illyrilex

Blue Mary from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, taking a bathroom selfie. Previously uploaded an alternate colour scheme version of this but I'm reusing it with her default palette because I was too lazy to do something new for today's KOFtober prompt. Also, I know she doesn't actually have a gun holster in-game but whatever, this is my house. Illustrated by me -- thelexhex/illyrilex :)

Time for #KOFtober prompt number eight: Your First KOF Team

I got started in the Dark Ages, before team edit was a thing. Anyway, yeah, I scribbled some stuff that I forgot to erase but I think it's funnier this way.

#KOF #KingofFighters #King #YuriSakazaki #MaiShiranui #AlwaysCreditTheArtist

The original Team Women Fighters team from King of Fighters 94 and 95. King is standing in a burgundy tuxedo, holding a rose and trying to look casual/cool; Mai is bending over, looking toward a camera, or the viewer or whatever, and Yuri is sitting criss-cross on the floor, nervously looking at Mai's breasts, where writing that says "It's boobies :| " can be seen next to her. Illustrated by thelexhex/illyrilex

Special props to @gonzais.bsky.social for the pose reference

For those who missed it, my buddy jojo and I teamed up on a new illyverse oneshot that focuses on Ryo and Robert beating people up and bickering.

Damn, dude, that sounds... like a test of one's patience. I hope that A) your corworker will be okay, and B) that you'll get a chance to relax and get away from all of the fuckery you've been having to deal with.

Ooof. I feel for you, dude 😩😩😩

#8ber prompt no°2 "Portale per un altro mondo/Portal to another world"

999' Sudoku scene. Iykyk.

And no it's not a typo this time, it's really prompt 2 because I'm picking the ones I like the most. I hope I'll manage to use at least 8 prompts but we'll see.

I find it bleak that ChatGPT now has more users than Wikipedia. Many people would rather be spoon-fed information by a machine than read and research for themselves. Tech isn't just making us dumber. Worse than that: it's killing curiosity itself and the desire to learn.

The dog bit a small lizard's tail clean off a little while ago so that was fun to deal with.

How's *your* day going?

Today's #KOFtober prompt is "Redesign an SNK character," which is basically all I do (when I'm not emotionally torturing them).

Credit to @malaguetasccp.bsky.social for the existing Mai and King mods!

#KOF #KingofFighters #King #MaiShiranui #BlueMary #AlwaysCreditTheArtist

Collage of thelexhex/illyrilex's redesigns of King, Blue Mary, and Mai from KOF, Art of Fighting, and Fatal Fury, along with a couple of shots of CachorroViolinsta's mods from KOF XV and COTW based on said redesigns (where applicable because no thelexhex Mary mods exist). King's cursed MLS outfit is also a mod that doesn't exist but is there because that was one of my first alternate designs for her.
