Alita bra strap m... nevermind.

Digital two-page comic of Alita (a young dark-haired girl who is entirely cybernetic from the neck down) from the manga Battle Angel Alita. She is wearing black track pants and a white sleeveless top.

In the first panel her top has slipped down off her left shoulder, exposing what looks like a black strap underneath. A voice off screen is saying "Your bra strap is showing."

In the second panel she has reached over and detached her left arm at the shoulder, revealing that what looked like a bra strap was just the seam where her arm connects to her torso.

I spun two wheels and Terrya came up twice, and ppl on tumblr voted for her human form to pop up! Double the Terrya, double the cuteness! Too much for one post (1/2) #TearsofXivo #art #3dart #digitalart #Ocsky

Terrya from Tears of Xivo, instead of her usual outfit she's in an one piece swim suit with a tropical island design. She stands, leaning to the left, her left hand on her hip and saluting the viewer with her right hand. Her human form is next to her, mirroring her pose in a two piece bikini that is blue and green. Original Terrya has her wings closed and wraps her tail around the arm of her human counterpart. They both smile at the viewer with bright expressions. It's a sunny day where they stand in front of beach chairs and umbrellas. Next to them is a life saver flotation device.

The angle changes to show their backsides and the water park they're about to enjoy! A large pool and colorful waterslides await.

Original Terrya gets into a pool ring and starts to go down a pink waterslide as her human counterpart waves her on. Terrya kicks her feet up in excitement.

Both Terryas share a pool ring as they go down a water tube together. Water splashes on them as they laugh and smile at the viewer.

Some reflections remember more than you do. The Mirror Between Us is a proof of concept for a larger story about identity, connection, and what happens when the space between people… starts looking back. — #IndieFilm #PsychologicalHorror #Filmmaking #IndieCinema #HorrorCommunity #FilmPoster

A dark, atmospheric movie poster centered on an ornate, antique gold-framed mirror split vertically by a glowing, lightning-like crack. The mirror reflects a dim interior with a staircase receding into shadow, suggesting depth and unease.

Four characters stand around the mirror, two on each side, facing their reflections. On the left, two women: one with dark hair in a loose sweater, looking cautiously toward the mirror; the other with light hair in a dark outfit, her hand raised as if testing the surface. On the right, two men: one gazes intently at his reflection, while the other extends his hand toward the mirror, emitting a warm, glowing light that illuminates his face and the cracked divide.

The color palette is moody and cinematic, blending deep blues, greens, and warm gold highlights from the mirror and light source. Shadows dominate the background, enhancing a sense of mystery and psychological tension.

At the top, in gold serif text: “SOME REFLECTIONS DON’T BELONG TO YOU.”
At the bottom, the title appears in large gold serif letters: “THE MIRROR BETWEEN US,” followed by smaller production credits beneath.

Over on tumblr we did a poll after picking two characters, the winners were Katrina & Artelia and ppl voted for them to go on a beach date! So I'm sharing it here! (1/2) #TearsofXivo #art #3dart #digitalart

Katrina and Artelia stand side-by-side on a white sand beach with their backs to the viewer. They aren't in their usual outfits. Artelia is in a two piece blue swimsuit and strap sandals. Katrina is in a pink one piece and a red shrug hoodie. Artelia is holding an inflatable pool ring with bright patterns, it matches the beach ball that Katrina holds on her left hip.

The camera flips, we see them from the front. Katrina has on a pair of sunglasses. Artelia's bottom has a cutout that reveals a bit of her waist. Both of them have bright smiles on their faces.

Katrina has removed her hoodie, glasses, and sandals as she jumps from a pier into the water. Artelia watches her from with an excited face.

Katrina swims in the water as Artelia sits on the pool ring. She hits the beach ball in the air over to Katrina.

I'm going to keep offering this deal until the end of the month for any #indiedev who needs performance work. So many games on Switch and Steamdeck with low or painfully unstable frame rates.

Simon Roth@simoroth.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Actually had someone bite for this. So let's say £360 for a day of low level performance consultation and optimisation, in C++ or Unity, for any indies needing the help.
