Bex at the Desk Portal

An intricate image of Bex's animal persona: a jaguar and dog mixed creature with wings and blue spots and a sun wheel on her head. Her chest crest and forehead crest are glowing like a sun, and blue flames are emanating from them.

I'm Bex! I'm a fantasy artist and writer who loves to explore magical worlds. I'm trying to rediscover joy through worldbuilding and art.I'm currently hard at work with my comic Variant Realms.
