Little Lyre 🎻🎶 @littlelyre73.bsky.social · Nov 21

Hello!! I'm Lyre (aka littlecello73), a musician, teacher and artist based in the UK. Creating fanart and music projects around my favourite media is what keeps me sane! Please peruse this thread to get an idea of the things you'll see me do here~ First, art!

#drawinglark #GenshinImpact #LifeonMars

A waist-up portrait of Chiori, a character from the game Genshin Impact. We see her at a slight 3/4 angle, studying a large sheet of fabric with a satisfied smile. The illustration is painted in a soft light. The words "Commission" and "do not use" are superimposed over the illustration.

A portrait of the character Furina, from the game Genshin Impact. She is looking down at the viewer at a 3/4 angle with a crazed expression - although she is laughing with an open mouth, her eyes show absolute despair and are overflowing with large, goop-like tears, which look like some kind of oil-like, toxic substance. This goop is gathering at the bottom of the illustration, as though Furina is slowly but steadily drowning in her own toxic tears. The painting is dramatically like from below in an eerie red light, and in the background are countless eyes, staring at Furina.

An illustration of the characters Sam Tyler and Annie Cartwright from the UK TV-Show "Life on Mars". Sam is to the left and Annie to the right, and they are both floating in space. Annie has just grabbed hold of Sam's left hand and she is smiling at him, while he looks over at her with an expression that is a mix of surprise and wonder. The background shows a galaxy and shooting starts.
This painting is based on the song "Ferris Wheels" by I Am Kloot, inspired by the following lyrics: "I don't know who I am / I don't know who you are / but when I touch your hands / I see shooting stars"

A figital painting of John Simm in his role as Sam Tyler, in a realistic style. This is a shoulder-up portrait, and although he is facing the viewer, his eyes are looking off to the left and he is smiling. The colours used for this portrait are mostly yellow, green and teal shades, giving it a very sunny feel.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

He just wanted to see the light.
It had been a while since I had done any “big drawings,” and I really struggled, but that's the risk you take when you use the wrong paper :B

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe.

🏮 He points out the Supreme Court ignored human rights (which breaches its legal obligations)
🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved...

This is a) utterly terrifying and b) vital. Don’t turn away. The crisis is fixable because it is, ultimately, political. We know the chemistry. We decline the action necessary.

MORE BLORBOS! I'm having so much fun, the fandom has been so welcoming 🥹🤍

#LifeonMars #SamTyler #GeneHunt #ChrisSkelton #RayCarling #drawinglark #art #doodle

Doodles of characters from the TV show Life on Mars. From left to right, top to bottom:

- Gene wearing a classic "wut" face.
- Sam, very beaten up and bloody, but grinning up at the viewer with determination and a little bit of madness in his eyes
- Sam, tinkering with a police radio. He's wearing an expression of intense focus, with his tongue sticking out a little.
- Sam again, this time dozing off with his head supported by his hand. his tongue is sticking out a tiny bit.
- Chris, looking very worried for his safety with an extremely nervous smile on his face
-Chris again, this time with a pleading grin, poking his two index fingers together
- Ray with dramatic lighting, looking off to the side. You get the impression that he's about to rough someone up.

Quite a bloody cheek, this, given the UK has the most hostile regime towards healthcare for young trans people and their families in the world (www.gov.uk/government/s...).

doodles of characters from the UK TV show "Life on Mars". From top to bottom:
Ivanhoe the orange cat, mid-licking his bum, looking up with a perfect blep face
Ray, looking off to the side with a very disturbed look on his face, his cigarette falling out of his mouth
Gene, thoroughly beaten up andh is hair, shirt and tie all askew, but looking round the corner with a dashing grin, as if to say "miss me, Sammy-boy?"
Annie, drawing great big tears but looking relieved
Sam, looking *extremely* tired and resigned, his shoulders slumped
