some ocs portraits I made recently ☁️💙
#art #ocs

a digital drawing portrait of my oc Shoyo looking a little confused and annoyed. She has grey and dark brown hair and orange eyes, tan skin, eyebags and triangle shaped birthmarks attached to their eyes. The background is an abstract night scene with clouds and stars with mainly dark blue and purple colors.

a digital drawing portrait of my oc Haruto looking mostly unimpressed. He has purple and pink hair and a short sleek back undercut hairstyle with loose pink hair strands sticking out of it. He has dark skin, brown eyes and wears an eyebrow piercing and ear piercings too. He wears a black shirt and a green shirt over it. The background has a tech pattern and green and purple colors.

illustration commission for @/posthypermodern on tumblr 🤖🔅
#art #ocs #commissions

a digital illustration of Delta (on the left) and Luster (on the right) standing against a brick wall. Delta is a young back teenager with short kinky brown hair and brown eyes. He's wearing a stripped black and blue sweater, baggy white pants and orange sunglasses and he has his left arm around Luster's shoulders while smiling. Luster is a white teenager with blond hair pulled into a little ponytail and blue eyes. He's wearing a black beanie, a red hoodie and a jean jacket and yellow pants as well as brown sunglasses. He has his left hand in his pocket and is looking to the side with a neutral yet curious expression. The piece and the background has warm tones, the brick wall has yellow, orange and purple lights and shadows over it.

(2025 redraw of a 2021 sketch, side by side in the replies)

A digital illustration of my ocs Will on the left (he/they) and Charlie on the right (they/she) sitting together on the edge of a wall at sunset.
Will is a South East asian trans person with black curly hair and think eyebrows, wearing a patchwork vest, worn out black pants and makeshift sandals.
Charlie is a fat black person with short kinky hair. She's wearing a cream colors dress and soft brown boots with big comfy socks.
They both seem tired and morose and but are holding hands, Charlie resting their head on Will's shoulder. They're looking far in the distance, facing center left.
Behind them we can see a part of Kian, a dense and ecclectic city build on top of steep rock formations. The main colors are purples, pink and browns and the light hitting the characters is a bright yellow/orange.

Finished a reference for otter arti (it/he), my mascot fursona, used to be a PNGtuber from when I tried streaming!
#art #fursona #furry

A digital reference sheet drawing of my sea otter mascot. The top version is its plain body and fur patterns, one front view and one side view. The bottom one is the same base but with big round glasses, a yellow scarf, orange pants and shoes. The proportions are very cartoonish and the shapes are pretty rounded. The background is white.

Are you looking for an awesome outfit for your blorbo? Look no further!

Been meaning to host a little DTIYS/dress up game for a while, and I just finished this design ✨️ not perfect for winter, but perfect for your OCs! Feel free to modify it and please tag me/quote this if you do draw it 🩵

DTIYS outfit template of a one piece/dress themed after butterflies and orchids. A full skirt is layered and open to the front, and the sleeveless top has a high collar and wraps around to the back. Golden bracelets and antlers are decorated with leaves and petals in the colours of the dress.

Can folks point out their inconsistency in enforcing their restrictions? For instance, MasterCard debanking indie furry artists (both NSFW & SFW), while not going after Spencers for what they sell at the back of their stores, Disney over Zootopia 2, or OpenAI & Grok for allowing NSFW AI slop
