he/fae comic artist trying to make a game! https://snail-legs.itch.io/ https://vgen.co/snaillegs 🏳️‍⚧️&

3D model of a lightning gerbil creature. The render has a funky border overlaid on top of it, with hand-lettered MONTANA and wireframe stamps
on the left there is a chibi august perched on a cut-open giant lychee. on the right he's adjusting his scarf and there's a lil heart speechbubble
"Sunkissed//Shackled"; an illustration of paige shining her lamp on emery, who stands wincing at the bright light in the foreground
code editor screenshot of lines 95-102 of a script, reading: q (doubt) "It depends. What, exactly, do you plan to do here?" ? "My job." -> my_job "What would you have me do?" -> and_you # my_job q (stare) "That is not an answer."
EARLIER: uuuuu what if this is bad. is it terribleawfulnogood?? i can't tell.... | well, I like it. for what that's worth | that's sweet but you have terrible taste LATER: wow these visuals feel really charged now that I'm drawing them... | what? no, they're good!!!!
paige and emery drawn side by side. paige still has her trademark big stupid purple coat (affectionate), she's just been desaturated. and emery now has very very long hair, drawn tied up in chains and looking sorry for themself and a bit objectified (being tied up in chains will do that to you. sorry emery)
compilation of artworks from the past few months, with a little "Alex Lawrence alex@snail-legs.co.uk" in the corner
blender screenshot showing a 3d model of a rodent from behind. the texture on the back side of the model is clearly a; just the texture from the front side and b; not properly uv mapped to this side
"I just think they're neat" meme format with a drawn-from-memory-with-a-mouse morris slapped onto it.
dramatically lit halfbody of a winged girl with crutches and marbly skin and a severed unicorn horn.
demon girl with angel wings drawn on the phone with angel girl with demon wings. they look like they're having a good time :)
sketchy art of a fairy man, Gallagher Molan. In one sketch he has four arms, antennae, and a scar on his chest. He looks in the mirror with little sparks flying around him. The other sketch is him in a different mirror, minus the details described in the previous sketch.
fullbody sketches of miles and august in the void, also surrounded by little annotations. these, too, are reference images.
fullbody sketches of shelby and marlowe stood in the void. they both have detail callouts, suggesting that these may be... reference images...
a bunch of loosely half-sketched figures overlapping eachother at varying opacities
a sketchpage featuring two dnd characters. panel one has them running through some sort of rose garden/rose maze holding hands and laughing. then there are some chibis in the middle! the second panel has them sat on some stairs teasing eachother. and there is a wistful-looking portrait of one of the two characters in the foreground.
sketchy soya frowning and rubbing its paws together
three drawings of a little anthro candle-fox character (soya) labelled 2026, 2025, and 2024. the 2026 one is the most simplified and the 2024 one has the most design details, arguably being over-designed
photo of me in a skirt sat on the floor holding a long plant light dramatically in a similar pose to what ended up in the final artwork posted earlier in the thread
a crop of the piece showing only the stained glass mural. it's super shiny and glowy.
an illustration of an aasimar sat crumpled on the ground. she's looking down at a broken staff. above her is a stained glass mural of her former self, brightly lit and hopelessly out of reach.
art fight card. user: snail-legs. attack: based on my whims. friendly fire/revenge/mass attack: heart x3
this one is of the aarakocra. there are three different colourways of three different outfits, some prop sketches, and some compositional thumbnails. the page is littered with notes.
an aarakocra walking and strumming a lute. he looks back over his shoulder. four panels of the night sky are lined up behind him, each in a different phase of the moon.
two figures laying in opposite directions. they each have their hands tangled in the other's hair, both smiling. one tearful, the other remorseful.
digital sketchpage. girl who is sad for unspecified reason. guy who is flustered for unspecified reason. goofy chibis. everyone is only a few steps away from being a stick figure. random full-page oc art that goes surprisingly hard. incomprehensible comic pages. surprisingly OK studies
loose rough digital sketch of a boy and a girl laid out of the floor in opposing directions. they are both playing with each other's hair. girl is smiling remorsefully and boy is smiling tearfully
zoomed in screenshot of the drawing from the beginning of the thread, with a bunch of tiny little errors circled. we're talking, you still have to look quite closely to notice them, levels of tiny.
a grayscale chibi of the same character holding faer tail to faer chest, looking sleepy.
digital drawing of a dragon boy standing with big wings spread open behind him. faer arms are crossed, propped up on his tail which is all twisty.
photo of some wireframe glasses in a warm dark metallic colour. sticker on the lens says they cost £50. uhh the frame is quite thin and it's like a rounded hexagon type of shape
godot screenshot of a WIP pause screen. there is a short row of buttons up top (resume/options/save/load/quit to title/quit to desktop), but taking up most of the screen real-estate is a series of image buttons with crappy shorthand drawings of shelby, marlowe, miles, and august staring blankly at the camera against solid-colour backgrounds
desktop screenshot in krita... studies/sketches of adorkastock laying down wearing costume wings. there's a red set of traced shapes, a black set of freehand shapes, and a drawing in blue/black labelled "freehand post-trace"
a set of digital drawings of an uma musume character, drawn singing. a music stave swirling round her transitions into a racetrack, which a chibi version of her runs on, both the singer and the runner under a spotlight. also there's a drawing of her looking kinda red-in-the-face surrounded by shiny rainbow carrots. Text reading "friendship theater" in the background (her name)
sketchy art of auden (dragonboy sona) waving a trans flag and sitting in the clouds. his wings are also the trans colours and so is his funky half-skirt thing
photo of homemade shortbread on a cooling rack. it is star shaped!
a palette-swapped drawing of auden, my sona. he is drawn chest-up, sitting politely
Digital illustration of Marlowe, a fairy boy. He wears a kiwi-themed jumper, with a portrait of him going "?" on the left side of the image, and on the right-hand side he drawn as a chibi on a falling kiwi slice looking a little bit alarmed.
battle screen mockup... 3 columns, the leftmost containing 4 boxes stacked on top of eachother (noisy interiors, solid colour exteriors). the next column has character sprites in it, the rightmost column has a monster. and across the last two columns there is a speechbubble styled menu
shitty mouse drawing of the dialogue layout showcased above. Shelby wrings her hands on the left side, while Marlowe is doing a hmm kinda pose on the right. there's speechbubbles in the middle
A composition with clean-sketchy lines, non-literal colours. The left side of the image is moody and blue-purple, with a portrait of a knight (helmet off). The right side shows the knight sitting victoriously on a horse. There's some funky layout elements too, like blackletter name text (Didysis) and roses and rose petals everywhere
A digital illustration of sky and tesh, two ocs belonging to nalavi/abby. Sky stands pondering a bookshelf, while Tesh gently holds a little caudix (bunny-like fantasy creature), stood by a table with a vase of flowers on it. In the middle of the composition, there's an illustration of the both of them having fallen asleep together on a rug.
A page of lineless sketches of marlowe holding a bundle of nettles. Each version of the image has him drawn with different wings... The 1 series has a very sharp boxy uppy shape, while the 2 series has a lower-sitting, more relaxed round shape. 3 has elements similar to both 1 and 2, shape-wise. And they're all coloured slightly differently!
Digital art, flat-coloured. A front, side, and back view of a knight wearing a full suit of armour. Each view is framed by an archway. There is a detail callout section on the far right with a banner, a sword, and a shield.
digital sketch of a guy under a duvet hugging a pillow thinking "mmm I should get out of bed..."
b/w sketchy comic page. Exterior of a house. The two have touched-down, on the ground outside now. AUGUST: "Well, guess this is goodnight!" MILES: "Um! Tommorow, you'll be..?"
screen recording of ugly game prototype. the player stands in the middle of the screen while a monster in the corridor below zips along a set path over and over and over again
there's a screenshot from farbecolore.com of the colours it gave for "marlowe". two copies of the same sketch are then coloured with this palette in slightly different ways. he's doodled looking over his shoulder.
screen recording of rough and dirty nightmare complex battle ui. shelby and marlowe are shown with sprites on the left side of the screen and they are both blinking rapidly, like blinkblinkblinkblinkblinkblinkblink. it looks a bit silly
doodles of lilac amor flots and wyrm. they're not particularly connected to eachother, just sort of arranged in a pleasing way.
photo of a sketchbook spread full of headshot doodles of lilac and amor done in pen and highlighters
Sketchy crappy-looking digital comic. Marlowe sips on a mug of something, quietly enjoying it. Shelby watches him, her own mug in hand. SHELBY: "soo, what do you think?" MARLOWE: "mmm so soothing... perfect for an icy evening" SHELBY: "right? it's my dads' favourite blend~" SHELBY: "always such a treat when they send me some. I savour every drop of it." MARLOWE: "thank you for sharing some with me then, friend." SHELBY: "oh. of course! good things are better shared, after all!"
some kinda game UI mockup. on the left, thumbnaily shelby and marlowe are drawn looking somewhat horrified. on the right, chibi overworld shelby stands in front of a monster. there's a rainbow looking progress-bar dividing both halves of the screen. and a little speech-bubble shaped menu with a list reading "action action action action"
photo of lined notebook with notes on it and plain paper notebook with doodles on it. all in green pink and purple
Transcript AUGUST: "I know... this isn't the face of the girl you thought you know. BUT, UM!! um!!" AUGUST: "Oh! It's weird to say this out loud... After so long hiding it... But, this is!!" AUGUST: "This is the shape I feel most comfortable in, and the one which comes most naturally to me." MILES: "In other words, your truest form?!" Miles seems a little thrown-off by this. AUGUST: "Y-yeah." MILES: "Wow... That explains a lot, actually..."
a sketchpage made up of two roughly-made comics. (1) miles looks tired and a bit disheveled. "still no good", she mumbles. august hugs her "you... do know you need to rest, right?" he asks. "ughh, I knowww. but I'm so close to figuring it out..." (miles falls asleep in august's arms almost immediately) "what are you like..." august ponders, affectionate. (2) miles presents sad august with a little flower, telling him "cheer up, buttercup!" he breaks out of his ruminations, taking the flower with a little smile and a tear in one eye. "awww, miiles-!"
purpley-blue digital drawing of august stood alone, looking gloomy. his wings are raised in a way that makes him feel kinda closed-off. his arms cross over his heart, as he props up his head with one hand and clutches his shoulder with the other, hugging himself. gaze downcast.
