"Blargh!" said the Muffin

Concept art of unicorn/valentoki hybrid, Sydelle.

Finalised design of Power Optix.

This is Aria Orkusa, one of the Elemental Masters that gave their names to the elements wielded by characters in the current timeline of the SFA Project. In this case, Wind.

I first gave her a purpley-blue dress but thought this caused her face and hands to disappear into it, so I tried out some other colour variations. The pinky purple one was considered the best version.

For her outfit (and pose :D; ), I drew inspiration from link and link.

Design dump for a new species of anthro I created for the SFA Project called a Basilice.

I collected a bunch of artist renditions of a basilisk/cockatrice, as well as some ref pics of a some cockerals, snakes and the basilisk lizard.

I briefly considered giving the basilice a bird/cockeral head but thought I’d have more to work with if I went with a reptilian face.

I experimented with triangular and flat underbelly scales, feathers and no feathers on the wings, forked tail, or tail plume, feathers on the upper legs or lower arms, splayed or ‘neat’ feet and stuck with a simple horn design. Feedback from my co-creators led to me to the finalised design as seen in the reference sheet.

I really liked the striking, rich colours of the cockeral, as well as the bright orange underbelly of the snake and the stripes on the basilisk lizard so I opted to use those for the main colours of the male basilice. For the female I tried out lighter/girlier colours, just lighter and attempt at a more drab appearance. Ultimately the lighter/girlier colours were more appealing to both myself and my colleagues.

And the reason for the paler face and hand colours was because I thought both became lost in the dark colour of their neck and arm feathers.
