I know that drawing Rama raju with long hair is canon, sorta, even when making him Rampunzel is stretching it. But once I drew him with the water peacock, I had to draw #Bheem with long hair and having charmed an elemental shape shifter fire snake. Will the two princes realize who their love is?

Rewrite the stars is one of my favorite songs of The greatest showman, and RRR is totally in my head. So here's a bit of a circus AU for Rambheem in our Fanart sunday :) And I have to remind you all that now, for easy #commissions, I have a @artistreeio page, https://artistree.io/luxshine, now complete with new shinny terms of service! https://calicochimera.com/comissions/ Just in time for the holiday gifts!

Since I drew Prince Rampunzel and Prince Bheempunzel, well, at some point they HAD to get together, right? So here are the two adorable long haired princes, finally together both in human form. Fire and Water, in a loving embrace. Because you know, Dosti!

Magadheera was SS Rajamouli's Seventh film, and although it wasn't that known in the USA, the first telugu film that premiered in American shores, all the way back in 2009. So let's check it out, and see how many parallels with RRR and other Rajamouli's films we can find, as well as how Ram Charan has grown as an actor, as this was his second film ever!

Now that it's 2024, there's a thing I hope that never gets repeated again. See, every time that there's a cast announcement that includes actors who are not white, there is someone that complains that they're forcing diversity on us. But let's be honest here: Diversity is Never forced, it can't be forced, and we're going to talk about how it's the whiteness that has been forced on us forever.

I love Baseball and India loves cricket, so I dreamed up this AU idea where Charan is a star cricket player that for some reason is drafted to play for India's baseball selection where Tarak is the star catcher and while at first both hate each other, soon sparks fly in the outfield! And of course, I had to draw the idea!

Poor Cujo has always been one of the most misunderstood characters in the Stephen King's universe. So let's talk a little about why that is. https://youtu.be/ekObEVEA1BA?si=6Z7PowUuUZlrJhYI Please, please, Please, I can't urge you enough to #vaccinate your pets against rabies. Dogs, Cats, rabbits, foxes, any animal that can catch them? Should be vaccinated.

While in Mexico we have a free vaccination program (which I urge you all mexicans to use, for your pets and the strays around your neighbour), the information online is a bit spotty about it. But check with your local veterinary or shelter! Same goes to the USA, who apparently only has a WHO-faq about the disease (and I didn't know that before saying that I would put links here. As soon as I get some, I will edit this part), but you guys have some of the BEST organized shelters and vet-groups I've seen and I am pretty sure your local one knows more about how anti-rabies programs work. PLEASE vaccinate your pets. Even if you think they don't leave your yard, even if they don't leave your house (my kitties are so indoors that they go to the closet if the front door opens... they are STILL fully vaccinated), don't lapse their shots. It's better if they have it and never need them, than having them pass through this horror.

Chari is one of the twins Tarak plays in Adhurs, which is a.... weird movie. But it is 100% worth it to see this priest yell about how fish aren't allowed in the Sacred Pool. And because of THAT, when I decided to mix him with Pokemon, well, his Pokemon had to be a Goldeen! Her name is Paksi, which means Bird in #telugu, so TECHNICALLY, She is not a Fish in the Sacred Pool. And she floats over it. So there!

One of my favorite horror movies in 2022, was the worst wedding night in history as Grace Le Domas has to fight her whole new family for her life, due to an ancient tradition that her new husband forgot to mention, in the Horror comedy, Ready or Not.

#Baseballhistory Wednesday! Professional #Womensbaseball started on September 11, 1875 between the Blondes and the Brunettes in Springfield, Illinois, and ever since then, there have been women's leagues, officially and unofficially all over the world. But they only played in skirts when they were the #AllamericanGirlsProfessionalBaseballleague to bring in viewers while the men players were in world war II. Because seriously, you don't want to slide in home with a skirt!

If there's any horror movie that is 100% prochoice, that is Alien. So check out the video I made a year ago about this amazing movie, and the equally incredible Ripley who'd have saved everyone if anyone had just listened to her!

As I keep drawing my dragons, here are Chitti the water dragon with Lava the tree dragon. His horns bloom when he's happy with different flowers. Roses means he's in love.

As 2023 draws to a close, I want to remember the first video I made this year! A video about WHEN to table at #artistalley, because that's a question we all artists make ourselves! Starring @murphysplushtrips, and my kitties Serenghetti and Hei Hei! (I need to update this image with Konidela too) Check the video at: https://youtu.be/Tvye0jsEh1c?si=TJrBzWWaSRjNI6nj

Junji ito's magnus opus is, in pretty much everyone's opinion, Uzumaki, one of the best modern horror manga you will find. But have you ever noticed that even the narrative of the manga is a spiral? Once you see it, it's hard to unsee! I talked a bit about this in Lets talk about when Junji ito came to SDCC.

My very first new illustration of 2004, is The Lovers card for the Building Blocks tarot that I've been working on and hope to have the Major Arcana for SDCC 2024. The Lovers here are Grandpa 'Thulu, Cthulhu himself, and his wife, Gramma Imagination, who are the parents of the creator of everything, and remind us that we always have to make important choices in order to find our right path.

Some of my favorite commissions to make are those of original #rpg characters, like Magnolia here. She was so fun to draw, and her design was an unique challenge due to her dark colors and colorful personality! So today, on commission saturday, I wanted to give her another shotout! And remember, if you want your own #OC in my style, commissions open at
