Amar, the Lunar Ranger 🌙🌊✨
Sketchy portrait of a person with a cowboy hat, crescent moon hair clip and dark blue jean-jacket. The moon lights their figure from the side, their black bangs further framing their face. Their one working eye, a strong scarlet, looks almost towards the moon. Half their face remains immovable due to their burn scars; a subtle smile adorns their lips regardless.

I might? (see the green lil fella in my OC, Xenia's, arms)

Absolutely no pressure though!!! So cool of you to use clay as a medium :)

I'm behind on the prompts and may or may not need to redraw poses but still chugging along!!! ^^)/

Featuring a new OC, one I'm still working on and an old OC!

A sketch illustration of a beautiful heavyset woman poses with one leg poised and her arm raised up behind her head. She has a beehive-type hairstyle with clouds around it and is wearing a dress with slits on the sides. Her name, Victoria, is next to her body in hard lettering. A sketch illustration of a girl with curly hair, a horse tail, a unicorn horn and wings. She stands prepared, for fight or flight, on digitigrade horse legs with the sleeves of her dress covering her arms. A sketch illustration of a heavy-set niqabi with their niqab and cardigan extending out into smoke. They're falling gracefully with their hands reaching out as if waiting for someone to grab them. Their name, Nebulus, swirls adjacent to their figure, ending in a swirl.

Roux experiencing other magics via his uncle :) (who's name I'm still figuring out)

Both characters use he/him pronouns!

Two anthropomorphic cat magicians stand together around a magical star, a manifestation of the older cat's magic.

Trying out @adorkastock.com 's daily pose challenge for June :) I'm very behind and may complete others using traditional sketches but for now, enjoy some OC draws.

1st image: Zephir, he/him
2nd image: Yandel, he/they/she
3rd image: Salvadora + Luz, she/her
A sketch of a tall man with long curly hair posing with a hand on his hip. He looks triumphant with his cape and skirt billowing behind him and a sideways smile on his face. A sketch of a muscular person with bird-feather ears carrying a large, bowl-shaped weight - big enough to hold a small person inside. They look at the view from over their shoulder as they walk along. A sketch of two young women, both distraught, with their backs on one another. They both hold their knees to their chest, eyes closed, and ponder quietly.

I'm trying to work more actively on my writing (character bios, zine work, short stories, etc.) so figured I would advertise a couple other places I'll place my stuff on?

For artfight I MAY not be able to return peep's attacks - but I may at least try to do some return sketches :)
Screenshot of my profile on Unvale. It showcases a few of my art pieces with the username Awkturtleartist displayed. A screenshot of my Artfight profile with my profile bio shown on the bottom of the image. It reads: Hewwo u w u)/ I'm Turtle (they/she pronouns) and I'm here to vibe and have a good time drawing people's characters! Busy with life atm so I may not have time to return draws for people! I would be appreciative enough if you liked my characters ^^)/

Tomas helped out Zephir and Nephele - didn't think they'd try to cling to him after. Big mistake.

Nebulus does the back slaps when they laugh - they often underestimate their strength when doing this so be mindful ^^;

(Nebulus: they/them; Luz: she/her) #ocsky #ocs #illustration #art
Two friends walking together with a bright yellow background. The one on your left, Nebulus, wears a niqab with the ends turning into a "HA"; they back slap their friend on the right, Luz, who is falling from the force of it. Her hair is a light blue that gradients into lavender wearing a tight sky-patterned top with a tennis skirt and sneakers.

Our favorite band of siblings (and dralaluz) rest on in the night; unbeknownst to all but Zephir, their sleep is watched over. By friend or by foe?

An illustration of an anthropomorphic bat watching over a group of friends sleeping with their dralaluz (dragon) friend curled around them. A fire in the middle keeps them warm in the night.

OCs as Sonic popsicles because why not? :D

(featuring friends! @raptorkizzie.bsky.social @sweetenerdx.bsky.social)
3 popsicles of mine and friends' OCs. On the left is Brissa popsicle, a brown-skinned woman with brown and green gumball eyes and red hair mostly tied up. In the middle is Luka popsicle, a fair-skinned anthro rabbit with pink hair and a gray hat. Their eyes are blue like their glasses, and a string of pink gumballs is attached to their popsicle hair. On the right is Zlee popsicle, a brown-skinned woman with blue and brown gumball eyes and hair that gradients from brown to blue. Derpy smiles and uneven eye placements are on all of their faces.

A private moment #oc #ocsky #art
Two merpeople in embrace, eyes closed, about to kiss. The one on the right, Jadzia, is holding the other, Tomas's, face as Tomas holds onto their arm. Jadzia uses they/them pronouns while Tomas uses he/him pronouns.

A father and his daughters 🐏☁️🌈🎹✨
An anthropomorphic ram reads calmly while his two children, a xylophone head girl and a girl with cloud hair, drape themselves over his lap unseriously. The background fades from a dark purple to a lighter one, and in the middle are chibi heads of the three.

It's been busy but I continue to attempt to work on the creative endeavors ^^ Here's a lil peek at a short story I'm putting together with my OC, Brissa!

If you're wondering who I wrote about.... it's them™️ ^w^)/
Two mermen are sitting together, each looking at one another fondly. The one on the left, Jadzia, as their hand on the one of the right's lap, Tomas. A wispy of smoke with their colors combined is on the side in the background. Two sheep furries are doing the pocky game. The one on the left, Mari, is holding the pocky box in her hoof and is smiling happily at her husband. The one on the right, Jose, is holding his wife's hoof and gazing at her adoringly. They both wear matching strawberry and blueberry coordinated outfits (Mari and Jose respectively).
