Long time no post! When super busy with work and Life, but I’ve been working on my personal Artstyle! I’ve been working on a new coloring/shading style! Check it out!

#noxis does art #oc #original character #golden eyes #It looks better than I thought it would #hella proud #Abigor #demon

[alphanoxis]

I haven’t been Posting, have some art as a Peace Offering!

This Art featuring my OC Elijah, the Feral Strawberry Demon in the Flesh! Was trying something new, so I went with pink hues! Totally unbiased but he is best boy.

#noxis does art #I promise I'm not Dead #Just Tired #Elijah Wane Kingsley #Based on a song by Paramore #Rose-Colored Boy to be Exact #He looks super mixed for some reason #pretty sure it's the eyes #I mean he is but for some reason it's coming out a lot here #Demon #crown #one more tag for the team

Planning for GCP #2

Next Girl for the Gravity Clean Pride Project!  Meet Tadoka! Her story is that she was a Circus Pet but when she got the chance she escaped and destroyed the small village where the circus was parked waiting for the next event. She will probably cost me the most if it takes a while for me to get her RMA Mark, but that’s fine since this will after Black Friday. She boasts Bronze Eyes and Ornament Base because I’m weak for Both! Slots 1 and 5 Empty for Obvious Reasons.

Planning for GCP #1

So I’m gonna make Gravity’s Pride a Clean Breeding One! So I’m planning Custom Lionesses with Piety Markings/App Bases for him! The First Girl I’ve made is Umbela! She’s doesn’t have a set role, but that doesn’t mean I don’t already love her! I’m more Keeping the Design Here so that if I forget to resave it in the Wardrobe I won’t lose her planned design! Now that I look at her I might slap a Herb Pouch on her too Decor wise!

#lioden #clean breeding #heritage less heir on Deck #Gotta wait for Black Friday though to Slap a MOD on him #Thinking Striped #Umbela #Gravity is so pretty I love him he is my favorite

[alphanoxis]

Mass Breeding Results!

So I recently Bred Exactly 40 Lionesses of Varying Bases because I was bored! Here is What I Got! Exactly 62 Cubs! 22 One Cub Litters 15 Two Cub Litters 2 Three Cub Litters 1 Four Cub Litter Notable Cubs Include: A Celestial A Maroon with Albinoid Eyes A Maltese A Cameo with Mottled Rosette Cubs I’m Probably Gonna Keep That Aren’t Above: This One But I’ll Make It Male This Dude Why these you Ask? I think they’re pretty neat!

#Lioden #Mass Breeding Results #too many cubs #I hope I did the Math Right #Celestial #Nice #Sapph's First time Passing Mottled Ros with the Mom not being a Pon #Got what I wanted First Try #Gotta yeet a bunch of potatoes into the Void though

Warm-Up before Lioden Commission time! Playing around with Colored Lines, Shading, and Brush Types!

Eh, I need to learn how to pace myself when making art pieces. I always feel the need to finish art right away, but I know my art would be better if I slowed down some. Gonna work on that I guess.

#not lioden #rambling #yeah lets do that thing

Guess what! I finally made an Example for My Lion Icon Recolors! This one is Featuring Eureka!

Lioden Log 29/7/19

Just gonna start keeping a Log of all the Interesting things that happen on Lioden, for me to look at later. Gravity has had 4 of his 10 Markings upped, so that’s great, can’t wait for all the pretties babies he’ll make when finished. Me and my Breeding Partners have decided to Call Gravity both Grav and Grave, I’m started it because It felt weird calling the purple boy Gravity when everyone knows Gravity is Blue with Yellow stripes, they followed suit for some reason but I’m cool with it. Gravity’s Mom Valuri still hasn’t given any more clones, which sucks because we’ve used 200+ Barks and 10 Crunchy Worms and have only gotten Grav so as annoying as that is we shall continue! I’ve reached 150 Backgrounds! So that’s Awesome! I’m making recolors for my Partners and me to raise Money So here is one!

#lioden #recolor #update #log

Special Lioness Clone King

So I replaced Gravity (R.I.P Buddy), He’s a clone of a Special Lioness, he’s got an awesome set of Markings and he’s Clean so that’s nice! He’s not up for studding currently until I can up all of his Markings to ensure he has the prettiest cubs possible!

#lioden #special lioness clone #haze #royal lilac #rare markings #extinct markings #double rosette

Don’t mind me

I’m Just. Progressing. With my Human Style And I wanna show the poor people who Follow me So Have a Human

Scrying some Cubs
