Tedla from Halfway Human by Carolyn Ives Gilman.
I’d done fan art of Tedla previously; but I felt compelled to revisit the character thanks to a generous fan buying me a new copy of the book. Eight years makes a bit of difference in art style >_>
To quote the original post from way back when:
This is Tedla. Tedla is a bland, an asexual being from an evolutionary offshoot of humanity. On its home planet blands are kept at a near-slave class, considered to be not human and much less important than either male or female. Blands are mentally, physically and sexually abused by their human masters, normally called guardians.
The long and short of the matter is, when I was 12 or so, I read a book called Halfway Human. What I read in it horrified my innocent little brain and I quickly returned the book to the store. Years later I encountered the book again. Not remembering anything about it I read it anew and was shocked to see the impact that book actually had on me. So I guess that makes this the most influential book in my life.
This is fanart of Seth from The Year of the Storm, which is one of my favorite books.
I realized that I never posted the finished version of this pic. Largely because its still not finished. Nor will it be :p The author was super excited to show it off and circulated an unfinished version. Consequently I lost interest in the pic…
Revisiting an old character, THE Mister X. Probably as close to a fanciful personification of me as you’ll get.
He may be a horrible monster from beyond space and time disguised as a medieval plague doctor, but he still rocks all the latest suit fashions ;p
Red-faced from blushing or the fact that the binky makes it kinda hard to breath?
I’ve had requests for diaper pics for ages ever since I drew this but always deflected them. I guess this is a compromise? Sort of.
The pic was inspired by conversations with and ultimately based on @awkwardgaydude (who is the winner of the random Mister X Is Gunna Draw You At This Moment Lottery™).
Not what I’ve been trying to draw for weeks, but hey, I finished a pic.
Somethin’ about pups with glasses adds an additional layer of adorableness.
I haven’t been able to manage any full size drawings (obviously). But chatting with @puppeh inspired me to at least attempt this. Took me a couple nights of drawing in small amounts.
Also, I think I’m closing up the commissions. This little pic took monumental effort. Attempting something bigger and for money is unrealistic for me. Sorry, folks.
Otep Shamaya as Furiosa, obviously :p
Otep is the band I go to when I need to scream out my frustrations.

I never finished the full picture, but since I already did a Klaus Nomi pic I might as well make this an official Till Lindemann pic. It is a pretty iconic Till glower.
Gothy angsty teen Mister X was heavily influenced by Rammstein. Album art for Sehnsucht? Frequent fap material… They’re still one of my favorite bands.
Song quote from Du Rieschst So Gut
Another really good face. Lines on the hair are too dark, but the shading and color are spot on.
These last couple portraits have come together nicely. I’m feeling pretty good about them.
Now if I can just manage to convert that magic into finishing a full pic…
