My rooster is super eggcited about Halloween. He's practicing clucking like Bellegg Legosi's Draculegg, and refuses to break chareggter.

First time with the traditional birthday watermelon slice. I was trying sonhard not to damage the cutting board... I only used half force. Had I gone full force, I think I'd be shopping for a new picnic table right now.

A fantastical, otherworldly scene unfolds beneath a sky alive with color and motion. High above jagged twisting volcanic rock formations, a massive spire of dark, organic-looking stone twists upward, its surface riddled with deep hollows and textures like cooled magma. A narrow staircase spirals around the spireโ€™s dizzying height, leading to the summit, where an immense statue of the Eternal Goddess Xolaria dominates the scene. She towers in gleaming, otherworldly armor, crowned with horns, her form both protective and terrifying, illuminated from behind by radiant light that spills outward like a divine aura. Before her stands a vast ceremonial basin, suggesting ritual purpose or cosmic offering.

The night sky behind her is alive with a shimmering aurora that washes the heavens in greens, purples, and blues, like a celestial curtain in motion. Cutting across this aurora is the faint but unmistakable arc of a mysterious space ring, glowing as it stretches from horizon to horizonโ€”an ancient and incomprehensible structure encircling the world.

Closer to the viewer, a small flock of Rendaraian bats swoops through the sky. Their leathery wings are spread wide, and their long, prehensile tails curl and twist as they fly toward the foreground, lending a sense of eerie vitality to the surreal landscape. In the lower distance, smaller spires of volcanic rock rise through mist and shadow, framing the monumental climb up treacherous carved rock staircase that spirals around the spire to the chalice of the goddess. The overall impression is vast, reverent, and unsettling: a vision of divine presence, cosmic wonder, and alien grandeur within the Children of Gaia universe.

I think my illustration of the Chalice of Xolaria from the epic sci-fi/fantasy series: Children of Gaia is finished.

This statue of one of the 10 eternal Children of Gaia is also a tomb for a robot that once was powered by the eternal, but sacrificed itself to free her.

Also, it's still a WIP, Gotta texture, shade, and highlight the statue still.
