She/Her, 🏳️‍⚧️ 🔞 Still settling on what I want to post here. No minors plz.

Ryla, standing in the desert, betwixt her friends Makinti & Tern, announcing that she is going to turn into a car now.
A pre-transition Ryla is being lectured by her mother. "I know things have been difficult for you two ever since Jasmin moved out, but this reunion is important to everyone. I don't want to hear about any of the gender stuff while we're out. As far as the rest of our family is concerned, you are our son." "Fine," Ryla folds her arms, looking away.
A redesign of Ryla's kaiju form, "Spindrah." She appears as a robust, omnipedal lizardlike creature made of rubbery, translucent teal flesh, segmented by bright blue markings. Her head sports four glowing green eyes, a rhinoceros beetle-like nasal horn, a dragonfish-esque smile, and a pair of whiplike antennae, which transition into a mane of tendrils running the length of her spine. She sports three tails, each tipped with a diamond-shaped fin. Her overall vibe is of some kind of technicolor sea slug who's twisted into a dinosaur.
Panel 1: Ryla ducking into a limbo/crane stance as a mime-like kaijin fires a magenta energy blast at her. She narrates. "Once in a while, I get impulses. Urges to do things I've never done before, that I have no experience with." Panel 2: Ryla is now pirouetting, looking shocked and confused as the ground behind her explodes where the beam hit. "And against all odds, I pull it off." Panel 3: A ballet dancer is on stage, performing a routine. "And I know I'm looking at some tiny scrap of a person who Julius absorbed." Panel 4: Julius - a lanky, cowboy-looking motherfucker - comes up behind the dancer, an evil grin on his face. His chest has opened up into a circular maw of teeth that is moments away from engulfing the unsuspecting dancer. His lower jaw is beginning to divide as wel. Panel 5: Julius' torso-maw has engulfed the dancer, and she screams in fear as she's pulled inside. "The last echo of an entire life, floating around in my head." Panel 6: Ryla looms in silhouette over the now defeated body of the mime-kaijin, its teeth knocked out and a crack in its face oozing black blood. Behind Ryla, the flames from their battle illuminate the scene in orange light. Panel 7: Ryla is now moving away from the battlefield, looking behind her nervously as she walks through the forest. "I'm not Julius. His crimes aren't mine. But I'm the one who's carrying those echoes now." Panel 8: Ryla moves into a clearing. "That's why, when I feel them-" Panel 9: Ryla assumes the same stance as the dancer had been, continuing the routine she had been doing. "I let them out. Let them be alive in a tiny way, for just a little longer."
My OC Julius, in his 'unraveled' form, which is a red-skinned monstrosity in the vague shape of a manta ray crossed with a falcon, and perhaps a bit of rhamphorhynchus. The only hints of any humanoid anatomy are his shoulders and chest, and even these are highly diluted. His wings are a boneless crescent shape, studded with small teeth along the edges, while a smaller set sits just below them at the base of his long tail, which is tipped with a leaf-shaped fin. His only other limbs are a pair of small, bladed appendages shaped somewhat like arms but positioned like legs, and seemingly not built for either function. His head has a hooked, fang-filled beak and his scalp transitions into a backward-swept, crescent-shaped crest. In lieu of eyes, he has a pair of elongated, pink patches His rubbery flesh is primarily crimson, with flowing rings of darker red running down, with the interiors of his wings being a fleshy magenta.

Three separate concepts for the means by which a grotesque sea monster's mouth my extended down into the neck. The first depicts the masseter muscles remaining in place as the neck opens up. The second is a more Orga-style maw, where the masseter extends all the way down the opening, while the final one depicts no masseter and has the two jaws simply flop around.
Several images depicting Ryla as a harpy. For the most part, she resembles an enormous blue-grey bird, mashing up features of a harpy eagle and a heron, with only slight feminine curves, and a face that is almost entirely human. She has bulging eyes and a pair of feathered crests resembling those of a great horned owl. Curiously, her wings have archaeopteryx-like talons, and can be used to walk in a quadrupedal stance. Various images depict her from various angles, two of which depict her jaws unhinging into a vast maw. But that's just standard Ryla stuff.
A portly humanoid woman with short, spiky, stark white hair, black sclera and a mouthful of sharp teeth. She has long, pointed ears and slightly stretched out limbs, each ending in four clawed digits, and her grey skin is broken up with darker grey markings. Despite her somewhat menacing appearance, she's smiling and waving with a genuinely friendly demeanor.
Ryla depicted as a kaiju. It resembles a robust, omnipedal goanna, with thick, segmented armor in a variety of shades of blue. Its head combines the horn and shell of a rhinoceros beetle, the frill of a styracosaurus, the teeth of a crocodile, the split jaw of a snake, and four luminous green eyes with cute, girly eyelashes. A mane of tendrils runs the length of its spine, and it seems comfortable in both a bipedal and quadrupedal stance. Several smaller doodles depict it rending the limb from a mecha, burrowing into the ground, and rolling into a ball, Sonic-style. A small Ryla silhouette establishes the creature as being roughly fifty feet tall in a bipedal stance, and around a hundred feet long on all fours.
A series of five images arranged in no particular order. The first depicts Ryla Espinosa - a blue-haired trans woman - doing a three-point superhero landing, her free arm having morphed into an enormous, greatsword-like blade. Behind her, something unseen explodes in a fireball, in a Tokusatsu-esque scene. The second depicts her neck horrendously stretched out, coiling around the background. A horned, reptilian being snarls at her as her coils restrain and constrict him. Ryla's head is brought close to him, her jaws hideously parting into a grotesque, fanged maw, inside which is visible a second set of pharyngeal jaws. The third depicts Ryla with stretched out, digitigrate legs and arms that have morphed into teal, mantis-like claws. She's grinning manically, her eyes aglow with a green light, as she stalks towards the viewer. The fourth image is a low angle shot, depicting her crabwalking across the ceiling, her eyes manic with anticipation. In the foreground stands a mime-like alien, apparently unaware of her presence or the impending attack. The final image shows her lying prone in the background, the shadows mostly concealing her details, save but her glowing eyes and a few highlights. Her hair has sprung to life, erupting into a nest of writhing tendrils that shoot offscreen before popping back into the foreground in greater detail. The tips have split four ways into immense, fanged mouths
Walter, from the CryptTV franchise, snarling in pain and rage as Ryla leaps onto him from behind, sinking her teeth into his neck and digging her talons into his arm and chest, drawing thick, black blood. Her hair is curled up into tendrils and her gums are hyperextended like those of a shark. The scene is framed in red, with mistletoe in the upper lefthand corner and the words "Season's Greetings" plastered in the foreground.
An enormously obese woman standing in a subway car, as it glides through a dark, rainy city. Her whole body is clad in a tight, bubblegum-pink body suit with abstract lines and rabbit imagery all over it. Her arms are monstrously enlarged and rather than hands, she has massive, taloned paws, one of which is holding onto the overhead rail while the other lies palm-flat against the floor, helping to support her immense bulk. Her head is covered by a spherical mask with a bunny motif and beartrap-like jaws. She seems happy.
A woman with a ragged stump where her head should be, void of blood yet strangely blue inside, stands holding a paper bag puppet crudely styled to resemble her own head, inexplicably speaking from it. "Sorry to walk around topless, but we're not through here."
A character bio for an OC, depicting a somewhat heavyset Indian woman, smoking a cigarette, wearing comfortable, unfashionable clothing, looking unimpressed. The profile text describes her as a former A-list celebrity who appeared in countless films, but who eventually caved to celebrity culture, "Let herself go", and moved back home, where she instead began directing small-time stage productions, thereby reigniting her passion for the arts.
Crow T. Robot(Mystery Science Theater 3,000) gently urging Ruki Motoko(WANDER) that he thinks they're going to have to kill an unspecified guy. Ruki reluctantly concedes.
The "Barbie and Ken's suspect photo" meme featuring a chubby white girl with bizarre, curly, peach-colored hair in the role of Barbie and a taller, more athletic, blue-haired, latina trans woman in the role of Ken. This is a showcase of two of the artist's OCs, Acacia and Ryla, respectively.
A depiction of a blue-haired trans woman crossing her arms, which are emitting a harsh, neon green glow as she taunts an unseen second party with "Playtime's over, boy" in a clear and direct reference to the climactic battle from 'The Last Dragon'. The connection is not entirely clear, as this woman looks absolutely nothing like Sho'Nuff.
A short, gangly yara ma yha who-woman shivering in barely suppressed thirst as she stands next to a curvaceous businesswoman in an elevator.
A sunny beach scene depicting a lanky, red-skinned, vaguely amphibian woman, a tall, blue-haired trans woman, and a chubby peach-haired woman with bizarre spiral hair standing in front of a vaguely defined doorway, all in their swimsuits.
A character bio depicting a yellow and orange mermaid-like OC, with features resembling lionfish, seahorses and even mantis shrimp, with long spiny fins representing both hair and ears, and elongated arms with long, narrow pincers.
A character bio depicting a lanky, scuzzy looking man with sharp features, elongated arms and red-tinted talons. He's dressed in vaguely old western garb with a shredded duster, red bandana, and no shirts. Various other images showcase his abilities, including one where his chest is opening up into a vast, toothy maw, and an alternate form that is a serpentine, winged manta-ray-like creature.
A lineart of a bespectacled trans-woman sipping a milkshake, wearing a shirt with the text "Yeah I have NFTs: No Fucking Tits."
