Portrait of a pale elf boy (Ren) with two-toned brown hair and blue eyes. His expression is extremely vacant as he's turned to the left looking off into the distance. He wears a dark green high-neck tank top and golden jewellery. In his hair is a lotus flower and to the right of him is a paler hand with rings and long red nails. There are also wisps of white hair coming down from the top right. The (Neri's) hand appears to hover near the side of his face. The background is a blurry painted pond with lily pads and lotus flowers dotted around.

Obligatory update: out of the three pages of OCs, one is complete (that’s 9 drawings), the second page is being shaded, and the last page needs to be sketched out.

I’m incredibly stubborn and won’t post anything until it is all done. 😂

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Hope that everyone is enjoying the holidays (with friends, family, the family cat/dog, etc.)! Enjoy the food and all the presents!

(I finally drew my Kingdom Hearts trio! Took a while, but here they are! As kids!)
A detailed green ink illustration of the trio (Sora, Riku, and Kairi from Kingdom Hearts) as kids playing I the snow. Riku is in the snowman, with only his head is showing while plush dreameater is on his head and snow. Sora and Kairi are getting ready to throw snowballs at each other in between Riku. Snowballs and presents are scattered around them. Merry Christmas is in large black ink text behind them.

QRP to reintroduce yourself!

I'm HIR! I'm a hobbyist artist who is dealing with insane amounts of OC brainrot as we speak (points to Ruairi and Aphenos). I am hoping to kick off my OC project (PROXIMA×EXPRESS) next year if things play nicely for me 🥺🥺
Coloured illustration of Ruairi Cromwell in a bunny suit, posing with peace signs with a confident expression towards the viewer amidst a yellow background. Coloured illustration of Omori posing confidently - right arm behind his back with the elbow pointing up and left arm on the front a little above his head - against an orange-yellow background with stars. Illustration of HIR holding a birthday cake while winking, wearing a green party hat. There are floating chibi characters clockwise: Iori Takamine, Ruairi Cromwell, Ossia Belvedere, Fuwa Mario, Riyo Yarimizu, and Fuwa Maria. The background consists of multicoloured green party flags and a light green background and a dark green striped circle on the bottom left. Illustration of Hyalt Keylen (Castrella version) preparing to fire an arrow imbued with flames amidst a dark, glowy background

#ocsky / #art
Digital illustration of two original characters, Atsuji on the left (who belongs to @roxoah.com) and Rene on the right. They're wearing traditional Japanese-inspired attire adorned by fur. Rene has teal hair up in a ponytail and a grown-out shaved right side, and they're holding a tanghulu with their right hand while looking at Atsuji. Atsuji is behind them, his arms around their waist as he has a piece of strawberry (from Rene's tanghulu) in his mouth. The background is a starry night adorned by fireworks.

I hear we're doing #MeetTheWebcomic!

I make Bad Influence, a fantasy, slow burn, friends to enemies to lovers about two people who should probably just talk about it but won't for reasons. There's also magic, crime and a mystery to be solved!

#webcomic #BadInfluenceComic

badinfluencecomic.com
#meetthewebcomic Bad Influence Action Crime Romance Tassera and her crew of thieves are set on making sure the nobility of Nalohn never have more than they deserve, usually by just taking it. But the detective tasked with catching them may have a conflict of interest. And that conflict's name Tassera. An illustration of a man and woman in profile, stood facing each other, the woman with long wavy purple hair and a shit eating grin, the man with long shoulder length straight dark blue hair looks like he is not falling for it. An illustration of my OCs, Vale and Tassera. They're in a booth at the Crow and Lyre tavern, the walls are wood panels, there's a pair of latticed windows behind Tassera's head with bright yellow light coming in. Vale sits on the edge of the left booth seat, one leg stretched out toward the viewer, his sword rests on its point, has right hand holding it up, it's taller than he is, sitting. He has light skin, purple eyes that look away toward the left and the floor, long blue hair pulled back in a half ponytail and a close cut beard. He has a long blue coat, over a blue vest and white shirt with a collar, a strap is around his left upper thigh and knee high boots. Tassera sits on the table to our right, turned toward the right slightly, legs crossed, she holds a dagger in her left hand, cradling the point in her right. She has medium skin, green eyes and wavy purple hair with a slight smirk on her face. She wears a bodice style top in dark purples with straps and thigh high boots. They are both back lit in yellow light from the windows. A comic crop of three panels. Tassera is walking behind Vale, she reaches up, running her fingers through his hair that's pulled back in a half pony tail. She hooks a finger in his hair tie and tugs on it as she passes. She stops on the other side of him, resting a hand on his shoulder, his hair now falling loose. Tassera and Vrilla sit at the large round table in the basement of the crow and Lyre. Klies and Haln come down the stairs. Klies says planning something already? And Tass replies just something small to pad out expenses. Klies gives her a smirk saying and because you hate being idle. Or could it be something else? Tass gives Klies a glare and gets up, resting her hand on Klies' shoulder. C'mere Tass says as Klies continues to grin saying you did say Vale was back last night. Tass loops her arm around Klies' shoulder turning their backs to the rest of the room with a fake smile. We're not doing this again she says.

Making an updated #PromoSky post, seems there’s a new twt exodus, so I felt like it was about time!
Hello!! I’m Maxie, I’m an artist who primarily works with #WashiTape and #AlcoholMarkers !! I also enjoy #SelfShipping and #manga ^^ examples of my art below!!
A traditional bust artwork of Ben Tennyson from Ben 10 Omniverse. He has one hand up in a peace sign, and wears a green and black checkered sweater, which is made of washi tape. The background also uses various green colored washi tapes. The rest of the artwork uses alcohol markers, fineliner pens, and a glitter gel pen. A traditional full body artwork of my anthropomorphic fox OC, Mikan. The artwork uses ohuhu alcohol markers, washi tapes, and fineliner pens. Two of the washi tapes used are the asexual and agender pride flags. A traditional bust artwork of an OC belonging to KyriiWasHere. The character holds a Pokeball in one hand. They have a pinkish orange gradient hair, and wear lots of light grays, light blues and yellows. The artwork uses alcohol markers, washi tapes and fineliner pens. Emi Yusa stands behind Lucifer and my self insert, Seraphina, with a judging expression, while saying “I am so happy for you and your ugly fucking boyfriend I’m serious.” Seraphina ignores her, happily snuggling up to Lucifer, while he looks awkwardly to the side.

Tfw you get so far in a drawing and then your Apple Pencil decides to run out of battery.

To those who are giving me the honor of drawing their OCs - I should (theoretically) have everything done by Friday!

It is that time again… mutuals, gimme your OCs! I will be working on it over the next week.

Keep in mind that I’ll really be open for anything, I’m just weaker in areas like full mecha and animals.

If I get over 6 ocs, then I’ll either just add on to this document, or I’ll make a second post.

What is the spell being cast? Wrong answers only

#commission #experimental #mage #dndart #fantasyart #fantasycharacter
Experimental illustration of a mage with long dark blue hair and billowing sleeves, working on a spell. The style is very geometric, textured and symbolic. They are pale with red tattoos on a red background. Their eyes are closed, and both their arms are up with their fingers splayed. An eye-like symbol is overlaid over half the canvas.
