Hello there!

I go by Xochilex, or Xochi for short. I'm an illustrator and motion designer and I mainly draw and post about whatever nerdy thing I'm currently into. I mostly post digital art, but I may also share some traditional art and my mini painting projects from time to time!

#xochiart
Illustration of Morrigan from Darkstalkers. She is wearing a black tube top with a shear top underneath. Her sleeves are also shear fabric. The moon shines behind her with unnatural pinks and purples. Her shiny green hair floats and covers much of the composition Illustration of Avacyn from MtG. The drawing is a half body of an angel facing to the left, so that her face is in full profile. She wears pauldrons and a breastplate of black metal, with black sleeves. Her flowing white hair is left as solid white and unrendered, starkly contrasting the rest of the illustration Illustration of Yuriko from Magic: the Gathering. She stands triumphantly on a rooftop. The moon is behind her, with a silhouette of a tiger's head. The illustration plays with negative space, such that Yuriko's hair and clothes blends into the darkness of the background. Illustration of a cyclops girl with a big horn growing from her forehead, above her single eye. She is wearing an off the shoulder crop top which blends into the soft color of the background.

Sketch of hakaan character for the Draw Steel TTRPG. Muscular woman with curly hair rests her hand on her hip. She wears a cropped top and baggy pants Same sketch of the hakaan character shown next to a basilisk (a lizard with a rooster-like crest) and three other loosely drawn characters. Measurement lines show that she is just under 9ft tall

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.

After 3 or so weeks of not painting, refreshing to get back to some traditional work!

This is an imagining of an #mcdm goblin with an alternate fantasy design - keeping the characteristic hand-feet, of course!

For those not in those circles, I just need to remind you that losing a job to AI is not a vibes based idea. We are being told explicitly by art directors that we are being weighed against AI for jobs, people on teams fighting against the AD and you. It sucks. It’s demoralizing.

fanart of Samus, from the Metroid games she's wearing her signature power suit/armor, only her helmet's off, she's holding it in her left hand she's standing in a dark wire-filled place, with only a vertical ray of green light falling on her fierce-looking face, like a door's opening on the outside, off screen

Reva, my memonek earth elementalist!

#xochiart #TTRPG #DrawSteel #MCDM #art
An earth elementalist character for the Draw Steel TTRPG. Woman posed mid-dance, with her left arm and right leg raised. She is made of discrete segments and parts, like a ball-joint doll. Her skin is partially a purplish grey and partially a bright red gem-like material. Parts of her body have gold tattoo-like markings. She wears a simple black halter top and short shorts. She has sleeves and pants made of a translucent material.

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

These people want legal clearance for murder at scale, and they can just say it out loud, in public. Meanwhile, in here, if we get a little colorful expressing our derision for these monsters, the ban-hammer finds us with a pointed quickness.
