#mechpilot art for today, a little experiment from a week or so ago. #scifiart #LancerTTRPG
A woman shaded in an orange-to-brown gradient has her head turned to the left, staring blankly into the distance. A mechanical exoskeleton is attached to her arms and back. The backdrop behind her is blue-gray, and orange smoke cuts a slash through the air horizontally across the piece, catching and gathering around her neck and visible eye.

forgot to post these here -- two of my contributions to the #StillFantastic #CaitVi pride flag art!
a drawing of a small bouquet of violets in varying shades of purple and magenta. the flowers fade to white at the center, and deeper purple veins are interwoven throughout the petals. a drawing of a deep purple top hat with a golden band and detailing -- Caitlyn's hat from League. next to it is a pair of metal goggles, Vi's, with a backdrop of pink ruffles. at the bottom left of the drawing is a purple heart, and at the top right, a pink heart.

if you see this, post your green #art ! 🌱
A green-hued crumbling city landscape, fading from more vibrant greens in the foreground to less saturated and bluish in the background. In the foreground to the left, stepping out from behind one ruined building, is a spindly digitigrade robot.

some #CaitVi doodles ft. the mech pilot au I've been working on a bit! albeit slowly. happy #lesbianvisibilityweek (almost too late lol) 🩷🤍🧡
A collection of doodles of Vi and Caitlyn from Arcane. On the left, Vi poses in two different outfits similar to those she wears in Arcane, with a bust shot at the bottom of the page wearing armor and a helmet bisected into a visor and a forward-protruding faceplate. On the right, there are multiple Caitlyn poses; she mostly frowns at the camera, wearing armor and a close-fitting undersuit. Toward the upper middle right is a bust shot in armor and a sleek, dark helmet. A closeup of a portrait of Caitlyn in a sleek helmet, colored in blues and grays. A closeup of a portrait of Vi in a helmet bisected into a visor and faceplate, shaded in warm grays and pinks. A closeup of two Caitlyn poses. On the left, she wears a close-fitting undersuit and a cropped jacket. On the right, we see a view of her undersuit from the back, featuring details and a hexagonal design between her shoulderblades.

lost in the green depths

#sci-fi #art #ocsky #originalart
A green-hued ruined city landscape. The closest buildings are the brightest; as the landscape fades into the distance, the colors become less saturated and eventually bluish. In the foreground, stepping out from behind a building, is a spindly digitigrade robot.

I just really like sci-fi, and my assorted little guys (ocs)
A lanky woman with skeletal metal arms and short-cropped dark hair sits on the edge of a glass containing a whiskey sour. She stares pensively into the distance. Two bust shots (left) and a half-body drawing (right) of a muscular blonde woman, who looks ready for a fight. She has an assortment of scars, and wears a mechanical exoskeleton. An armored woman with mechanical wings streaks across a gray-brown landscape of hills and ruined buildings, leaving a vivid orange trail behind her. A muscular woman with orange hair in two French braids lounges, flashing an employee badge at the camera. Her shirt reads "born this gay".

more important content. this is practically canon.
The same woman from the quoted post wearing a hat, tilted down to dramatically cover her eyes. The text on the hat reads "Women want me, fish fear me."

finished the first draft of the novel I've been working on since last summer! celebrated by sketching the protagonist in her element: being gay and making puns

#originalart #ocsky #oc
A woman in casual loungewear smiles at the camera and flashes her employee badge, which identifies her as company security. Her shirt is cropped, showing off her abs, and the text on it reads "born this gay."

so cool to see all this progress in one place!
here's 2021-2024 for me (2023 ft. a friend's character) -- I think my art and I have changed a lot, and I'm looking forward to going a lot further!

the oc | the playlist
An image of Regina, a lean woman with skeletal metal arms and dark hair. She leans forward pensively, looking off to the right. Her face is scarred, and her eyes are tired. A screenshot of a Spotify playlist.

happy Valentine's Gay <3
#caitvi
A pink-tinted image of Caitlyn and Vi from Arcane. They stand facing each other; Vi's back is angled toward the camera, but the viewer can see her smiling at Cait. Cait, smiling back, nervously offers her a bouquet of violets.

a traumatized Vi to go with my tired Caitlyn portrait from a while ago
#Vi #arcane #fanart
A portrait of Vi from Arcane as she appears at the end of the series. She looks tired and battered, and stares off distantly to the left of the image.

meet Regina, who lives paycheck to paycheck off that sweet sweet bounty hunter cash flow (she's suffering)
#cyberpunk #bountyhunter #ocsky #originalcharacter
A tall, lanky woman stares pensively into the distance. She has a growing-out buzz cut and a pair of skeleton-like metal arms, and sits on the edge of an oversized glass that contains a whiskey sour.

doodled concept (with a time limit) -- eventually I'll have some time to refine the idea/character!
A woman in futuristic armor with mechanical wings flies through a post-apocalyptic landscape. She leaves a vibrant, fiery trail behind her.

posting my favorite mech pilot here because I need her everywhere that I post my art. her name is Ire and all she wants is to be friends. her friendship involves sparring matches
#Lancer #ttrpg #oc
A reference sheet of Ire. Two headshots show Ire shouting (top) and with a satisfied smile (bottom) on the left, and a half-body shot on the right shows her in a fighting stance, grinning at an opponent. She is a woman with blonde hair and orange eyes, with a mechanical exoskeleton that attaches to her arms, back and shoulders.

little introductory #selfportrait in case the Caitlyn drawing wasn't introduction enough lol. hi, I'm Ciph! they/them, giant scifi nerd, causer of chaos, obsessed with my own ocs (but I draw fanart too)
A self-portrait of the artist, smiling at the viewer, sitting with one leg propped up and their arm draped over it, holding a pencil. They lean back on their opposite hand.

grief and guilt.
you know my first post here had to be her #Arcane #CaitlynKiramman
A portrait of Caitlyn Kiramman from Arcane, looking tired and upset. The sketch is traditional, colored and rendered digitally, with a faint purple glow around the piece.
