#whumptober2025 final day, alt prompt: "I hate this job."

sometimes kit feels fine enough after, sometimes he feels hollowed out.

#art #illustration #nsfw #oc #whump cw sex work, bruises, rope marks
an illustration in pink, purple, and blue, featuring Kit on a hotel bed. Kit has split-dyed hair (natural blond on his right, black on his left) and is very thin and pale with delicate features, covered in small scars such as cigarette burns and fresh rope marks and bruises. He is wearing a pentagram harness and black panties, and he is smoking a cigarette. surrounding him are used condoms, a stack of bills, a lighter, and a rope. a text bubble in a deep magenta reads "I hate this."

#whumptober2025 day 26: relapse, drawn curtains.

"you've got poison in your system; sick eyes don't glisten."

Ryder's no stranger to using for fun. but when he's alone, when the curtains are drawn, it's a different story

#art #comic #oc #whump cw drugs, needles, injection
A silent comic featuring Ryder in a ketamine relapse with the curtains drawn. The background lineart is white on dark values. curtains, walls, and floor pure black with a sliver of white peeking through the curtains. The color grading is a sickly yellow with muted greens and violets, the mundanity and sickness of this cycle. Ryder is a tall, toned man with light brown skin, dark brown eyes, and long, thick straight black hair in a wrecked bun, lots of flyaways and loose hairs. He has multiple facial piercings and is wearing a black t-shirt, black boxer briefs, and gray jeans with ripped knees. His dark circles are pronounced and he has small marks on his face and neck. Panel 1: a low table with a shot glass (remnants of liquid in it), a baggie of white powder, a syringe cap, and a bottle of Percocet. Panel 2: Pure black curtains and wall with light lineart, showing the curtains drawn with light shining between the small opening. Panel 3: Ryder is sitting on the edge of his couch, more of his trashed apartment visible. He is injected himself intramuscularly with ketamine, holding his syringe with one hand and plunging with the other. His expression is relatively flat, but slightly furrowed — the burn of ketamine. Panel 4: a close up of Ryder's thigh, smearing the blood and droplet of fluid with his thumb after removing the needle, simply dropping it to the ground with his other hand as his body appears heavier. Panel 5: Ryder slumped against the front of the couch with his legs out in front of him, leaning back with arms heavy on either side of him. His expression is fading, with a hint of melancholy as the regret hits before the drug. Panel 6: A close up on Ryder's face in a profile view, his head tipped back and his expression gone, lips parted, eyes glazed and dark circles prominent. the background is layered with hatching, distortion, and cloud effects layered into a subtle rough background. in the bottom right corner is the artist's signature, KNAPPEN.

they're on it again
Jayce licks Viktor’s nape while they're having a sexual intercourse. Viktor is moaning, indicating he's close to orgasm. I hc this as an unusual occurrence which is why Jayce gives a small word of praise about it

#whumptober2025, day 16: Permanent Marker

gage at school, before everything went to hell again. it's not worth sharing.

#art #oc #whump #comic cw child abuse, flashbacks, trauma
a one-page comic in a bruise-like color gradient. panel one featuring gage, a thin young man with curly black hair, brown skin, light eyes, and scars, is eating ice cream from a cup. a friend off-screen asks "Hey gage, where'd you get that scar on your lip?" it cuts to white lineart on pure black hatching: panel 2 shows the hands and torso of a large and unhygienic man holding a box cutter directly to the camera, the knife glinting. panel 2 show's gage's eyes as a young boy, crying with a bloody a nose and dark circles. the final panel features gage with a dulled expression, the spoonful of ice cream in his mouth as he responds: "It's a stupid story." the friend off-screen asks "What, you faceplant or something?" Gage responds "Something like that."

#whumptober2025 day 14: wounded caretaker

after escaping the fire and shootout, Aaron and Gage are separated for the investigation. they made it to safety, but no one is telling Aaron if he's is still in a safe place. but Aaron will hope.

#art #oc #whump #comic medical, eye trauma, burns
a four panel comic in hospital blue. Aaron is a tall, lean trans man with pale skin, short blond hair and light bangs, in a short messy shag. He has one brown eye and one eye enucleated with stitched corners (both sides from knife slash), with healing scars and bruises on his arms and face. He has a bulk bandaged hand (each finger is wrapped for a full surface burn). He has an IV in his right arm, and bandages on his chest and shoulder from minor operations. the first panel is a close up of the left side of Aaron's face, his eye enucleated and his scars and deep bruises on their way to healing, but still present. his expression is flat, solemn. the second panel is a close up of Aaron's left hand limp in his lap, completely bandaged, fingers and all. This is from his burn wounds. the third panel is a close up of the IV in his arm, disconnected from fluids but a constant presence. the final panel is a view of Aaron from overhead, his shoulders and up. He is looking slightly off-camera, his expression flat and and exhausted. the inner monologue is placed over the panels: "It's been a short while since we burned everything down, and I don't know where you are. The pain is unlike anything i've felt in my life, and every day I relive that night. But I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Because if you're safe and being cared for, everything will have been worth it."

#whumptober2025 day 12, cardiac arrest

when gage's heart gives out, Drew can't risk being seen with him. so he drives him to the corner by Hope County Hospital, positioning him on the ground and shouting before fleeing the scene.

#whumptober2025 day 11: laceration

The night Gabriel and Antonio both faced their father's wrath, bleeding as they wait for Santiago to arrive with first aid. continuation of Whumptober 2024

#art #illustration #oc #whump cw blood, injuries, domestic abuse
an illustration of Gabriel and Antonio sitting in the bathroom, severely injured and surrounded by meager first aid supplies after a fight with Luis, their father. Gabriel is a small boy in black shorts with black curly hair and brown skin, covered in cuts and bandages from Antonio's work. Antonio is large and muscular with a mussed black medium taper fade and brown skin, sitting on the toilet, holding a paper towel to his bloody left shoulder shoulder and slumped backward with a half-present expression. His white tank top (one strap sliced open) and gray sweatpants are covered in blood with his left arm hanging limp in his lap. Gabriel is huddled on the bathroom floor, blood stained and bandaged, holding tight to Antonio's calf and curling into himself. Both are crying. The background consists of light colored lineart of a bathroom (rusted and cracked toilet, sink, shower curtain, overflowing trash can, mirror, medical supplies). The medical supplies are filled in white and some are stained red. The bathroom has a diagonal crack through the length of it, and the bathroom floor tiles have a crack that leads to Antonio's foot. The background is black, with lineart in a haunted, sickly yellow-green, white fill on various objects, and the red of blood stands out.

Starting to do COMMISSIONS! ^w^ a quick sketch round to start, opening at 12 slots! putting this here soon because im already doing some, its subject to changes later!

use DMs here or on discord for further details. info is also on the image's alt text :3
KIRZA is doing commissions now! i'l draw mostly anything. from monster and anthro/furry designs to nsfw or machines. wont draw anything bigoted but im not stating the obvious in the comm sheet. i may refuse a request depending on what it is. (prices followed by multiple examples of each artwork type.) black & white (shaded): 40 USD colors w/render: 70 USD i dont usually draw busts or pfps (can make some exception but the pricing will be the same). the artworks will be full body with a simple background. adding extra detail to the background will add an extra price varying from $5 to $15. extra characters added to the artwork: the first character added will cost an extra 50% of the original price. each other character added costs 25%. this is subjective as for example background extras will count as background detial. other specific requests to the drawing, extra complex details or additions, etc. are up for discussion on added pricing. Contact is through bluesky direct messages. Or through Discord: __kirza__ going to discord is easier after first contact. il send rough thumbnails for the commissioner to pick and choose before i go on to sketching. Payment is made through paypal only. first half upon ordering the comission, second half when i deliver the first sketch.

when rescue registers as trauma.

stan is dead and miel is in an unfamiliar hospital, unable to regulate himself no matter how many hours pass. painless torture is far too much.

#whumptober2025, day 6: medical restraints

#art #illustration #oc #whump cw scars, captivity, stockholm syndrome
an illustration in deep blue, black, red, and whitee, of Miel fully restrained to a hospital bed, viewed from above. Miel is small and emaciated, with long black hair in a ponytail and a loose hospital gown. He's covered in old scars, and he's crying, his expression extremely distressed as he cries for Stan. His restraints include shoulder straps, biceps, wrists, ankle, a lap belt, and mitts. He's visibly struggling against them. Off to the side, nurses speak to him and each other. dialogue: Miel: "He..help! Stan…!" Nurse 1 to Miel: "I understand you're scared, honey… we want to keep you safe." Nurse 2 to Nurse 1: "This breaks my heart. It's like he thinks he's been kidnapped…" Nurse 1 to Nurse 2: "Yeah… restraints really aren't helping. But every time we loosen them he tries to harm himself… so…" Nurse 2: "I just don't know what to do for him… He keeps crying for Kansawa, even with everything they found in their house." Nurse 1: "It sounds like it's all the poor boy knew. Wouldn't be surprised if he was conditioned to feel affection for his captor." Nurse 2: "I just hope he wears himself out soon… Anyway, keep an eye on the bruising, hopefully no breaks. Just try to talk to him." Nurse 1: "Yeah, I've got it from here. Have a good night."

Zhen began existing one year ago as of yesterday!
Sketch of Zhen, a gangly woman with long thick hair and piercings on her nipples and bellybutton, lying back in bed while holding a vibrator wand to her soft, squished down cock. Her foreskin is bunching around the vibrator. Her other hand clenches the bedsheets and her head is thrown back with moans. Sketches of Zhen. The main one is of her lying down on her front while clutching her head nervously. Her feet are sorta kicking up and squeezing together. Her somewhat erect cock lies between her thighs, mostly obscured by her leg. Another sketch is just of her from the side, still on her front and looking flustered. Then there’s a jokey doodle of Zhen as a deer feasting on zyns. Tiny doodle of a naked Zhen exclaiming “I’m one years old!”

whumptober day 4: iron rod

flashback to Gekiyaku and Kazehiki AU

when the monster laid his hands on Kazehiki was when Gekiyaku broke. She killed him and packed her brother in a wagon, blood boiling and tears falling as she walked to the church on the outskirts.

#art #illustration #vocaloid
an lineart illustration with a sketch background, featuring young orphans Gekiyaku and Kazehiki. Gekiyaku is pulling Kazehiki in a small child's wagon, holding a bloody iron pipe with an expression of raw rage as she cries and trudges forward. She is small, about 9 years old, and she is walking with bare, dirty feet, bruises and bloody hands, her dress torn and pattered with blood. Kazehiki, about 5, is curled up in the wagon, crying with his hands brought up to his face as they walk. His clothes are ripped and he's missing a baby tooth.

whumptober day 3: found family

Kit, Ezra, and Ryder hide out, waiting for an opportunity to escape after a deal gone wrong; Ezra was dragged into it, and now, their only option is to call Damien: Kit's pimp and the man who has all of them under his thumb.

#art #illustration #oc #whump
a dark and moody illustration of three men, Kit, Ryder, and Ezra, hiding out in a trashed apartment, littered with debris. Kit sits on the right side of the image, curled into himself on the floor with a backpack and his knife. Kit is small and thin in ripped black jeans, black boots, and a tight black sweater, with split-dyed shag hair, blonde on his right and black on his left. Ezra sits on a cardboard box in the corner of the room, closest to camera center. He is large and soft with a red-brown medium middle-part shag, wearing a black hoodie gray jeans, and sneakers. he is holding a phone, tapping the screen. Ryder is standing by the open window, leaning out slightly and viewed from the back. his thick long black hair is pulled back and messy, and he's wearing a black hoodie, patched black jeans, and nikes. each of them are surrounded by a hatching glow. the coloring is a green-blue-gold gradient map, a haunting grimy, rainy city palette. the dialogue reads as follows: Ryder, out the window and to himself: "can't keep fucking doing this…" Ezra, to both: "I'm calling Damien." "We're on our own getting outta here, but he'll send a ride for Kit." Kit, to Ezra: "Whatever. But I don't wanna hear that asshole's voice."

whumptober 2025, day 2: prophecy

portrait of gage, a self fulfilling prophecy!!

#art #illustration #whumptober2025 #oc cw abuse, scars
a bust portrait of gage with brown skin, light blue eyes, and black hair in grayscale, overlaid with a chaotic blue/red/purple gradient map. Gage appears battered and scarred and exhausted, his expression and posture neutral as he's surrounded by a background of distorted quotes of things he has said, and other things said to him in the past, both traumatic and uplifting. each of these things paints him as a self fulfilling prophecy. the quotes are overlaid on a cracked wall image with alcohol ink texture, and a heavy chromatic aberration and RGB shift.
