Hey you lovely people! I don't usually share stuff like this, but this post involves my best friends CR and Jack.

If you cannot give anything, please share and spread this ok? Their situations are awful, and Jack is especially in dire need.

Hi all I really hate to do this but things have gotten beyond unsafe for Jack, and I. Just recently Jack has had to run away from home after being beaten and choked within an inch of their life, among other awful things. Everything helps.

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

My bbg Raize who I love very much....
Yes she resembles a Tyrantrum cause she was one but I wanted to mold her into something of my own!

Shoutout to my girl Lucida for being one of my most impactful OCs to date...

I don't roleplay as her as much these days, but she still stands to be a staple of my many OCs :)

She's a seamstress by day and a fighter by night

#oc #OCsky #originalcharacter #art #undertale #undertaleoc #monster
A reference of a skeleton monster. She's wearing a pink and black gown and a fashion hat tied with long ribbons. There is a bow and rapier to the left, a diagram of her tail and legs to the right, her powers in the top left (osteokineses and cryomancy), and the status of her eyes signifying her use of magic on the top right. A skeleton mistress walking away from a giant glacier she's made towards the viewer. Her eyes are glowing, and her rapier is drawn at her side. A tarot card-styled image of a skeleton mistress wielding a rapier with care. The tarot reads "The Hermit". A skeleton mistress falling through a white void. The void is filled with streams of binary and rectangular, glitchy images that signify as different universes.

Introducing the Ghost Train :)

The "successor" of Raize

(This Rex is also technically my boyfriend's, I just made it into a manmade horror for our friend's Pathfinder Campaign!)

#oc #OCsky #dinosaur #mecha #undead #gore
A bio-mechanical T-Rex pushing its way through a sliding wall. Its spiraling eye bores down on the viewer. A bio-mechanical T-Rex with sharp metal plates running down its spine, up its shoulder, and has a mechanical arm and thigh. Four metal plates run up its neck in the reverse direction. Its metal helmet billows smoke from vents over where its nostrils should be. It drools and leaks oil from its mouth and open wounds in its chest. A purple flame flows around its neck like a mane.

It's the end of the year so I'm shoving a Fantasy Verse Margaret out there :)

She's a seemingly normal cloth merchant in the day who murders at night to feed the demon within~

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Suzu, Intrepid Thief (Alternate)

Suzu required gameplay "nerfs" to maintain "balance" in her kit

Thank you so much for hosting!!Gracu☺️
A vintage-style illustration of a cat depicted as the composer Mozart, with its large, expressive eyes adding a whimsical touch. Behind it, a decorative universe and blooming flowers create a dreamy backdrop, with a banner that reads, ‘Music Is My Life.’ A dignified Beethoven cat holds a quill, surrounded by a radiant, starry background, with his quote : Music is like a dream An illustration of two radiant, human-like figures resembling comets streaking across a dark sky. Each figure has a glowing halo above their head and holds their hands close to their chest, emitting a luminous trail filled with tiny stars.

Bridget from Guilty Gear Strive is jumping in the air, attacking with her yoyo that spirals around her and towards the viewer with a rainbow path. (This rainbow will be printed in foil) Both her pose and her expression are filled with energy, happiness, and clairvoyance, mirrored in the wide open blue sky behind her, with soft white clouds underlit by pink drifting carefree. A digital sketch of my original character Mythril standing in the center of the canvas in a summery dress with a simple rectangular background with leaf fronds that match her dress. Mythril is a fish girl with blue fins on her arms and ankles and replacing her ears, a blue and white speckled tail, long green hair, and yellow eyes. She is wearing a white dress with a print of flowers and leaves and matching flower earrings. Tilly, my winter elf, is casting an arc of ice with a perpetually grumpy little frown on her face.

Hey, thanks for sharing! I make oil paintings of natural & fantasy landscapes as well as prints and weird sayings using my artwork #art #tradart

linktr.ee/shiftypumpkin
18”x24” oil painting of an autumn forest, in hues of yellow, orange, red and brown. Bright light shines down through the trees and settles into a low-lying grove with an old log. A tree with red leaves and dark branches sits in the foreground. 18”x24” oil painting of a nebula in red and orange, above a dark forest in shades of purple, blue and black. A cozy campfire brightly lights a clearing next to an old log, and reflects on the surrounding trees. A rushing stream cuts through the forest. 18”x24” oil painting of a graveyard in autumn among a hilly landscape. The sky has yellows, reds, oranges and purples of sunset. A pumpkin sits against a large, bare tree, with gravestones dotting the landscape and into the distance. Grey fog creeps along parts of the ground. 18”x24” oil painting of dark, jagged mountains amongst a cloudy, stormy sky. The clouds are sweeping across the largest mountain in the center of the painting. A break in the clouds from the upper-left casts a semi-golden light down on the landscape. Pine trees and a shallow pond sit in the foreground.
