Here we’ve got another drawing of Lev. He’s just so fun to draw.

I’ve never drawn his face from this sort of angle so it was interesting to figure out how to make it look correct.

A picture of a character looking back over their shoulder while holding a pair of revolvers. He has fur in an orange-brown, cream, and gray. His hair is reddish-brown with a white streak. He wears a semi transparent shirt with billowy sleeves that are rolled to the elbow. He also wears loose brown pants, tall dark brown boots, and a waist corset.

Did a ship chart for Lev and Clove. Lev’s answers are red and Clove’s blue.

Generally, Lev is high energy and dramatic and Clove is chill and easy going.

Ship chart for two characters, Lev and Clove. Gives some stats about each character and how they behave in a relationship. Lev’s answers are in red and Clove’s in blue.

A drawing of my character Quinn. They’re always fun to draw.

I really like how the lighting turned out in this one.

A drawing of a character sitting with their body facing left, but with their head facing back towards the viewer. They’re smiling. They have lots of fluffy hair that starts brown and then shifts to purple and then pale purple. They have light blue eyes and several scars three on one arm, one on the other, one on one leg, and one on their torso. They’re nude, but loosely wrapped in light blue fabric that swoops up behind them.

Here’s another drawing of my character Lev. I love drawing him.

I’m imaging this as a sort of POV from his husband in the early morning.

A perspective drawing of a character lying down with his legs and feet towards the viewer. He is only wearing a pair of boxers. He has fur in orange-brown, cream and gray, and hair which is a dark red-brown with a white streak. The end of his tail is loosely wrapped around one of his ankles. He also has a few scars on his body, two on one arm, one on the other, some claw marks on his stomach, and one on his knee. He is smiling with his head resting against one of his hands. He is also wearing a wedding ring.

Here’s some more art of my character Lev and his husband Clove. They’re excited to see each other after Lev gets back from a trip.

Lev was originally a character I made for a hypothetical Dnd campaign, and Clove was a I shopkeeper NPC that I created for the same campaign idea.

Two characters are hugging, one of them is almost being knocked over by the force of the hug. One character has gray skin and pink hair that’s up in a bun. He wears a long skirt, sandals, a white shirt, and a shawl. You can’t see his face. The other character has tan, gray, and orange-brown fur. He has dark red-brown hair with a few white streaks. His tail is curled behind him, and he wears a billowy off white shirt, a waist corset, loose brown pants, and tall brown boots.

Here’s a drawing of my character Lev. I wanted to do something dramatic for him and I’m happy with how this piece turned out.

A cat man with fur that’s reddish brown, gray, and white. His hair is in a ponytail that’s a dark red-brown with a white streak. He wears a large, billowy, white shirt and loose brown pants. He also wears a red choker, a brown waist corset, and tall brown boots. He is standing on the guardrail of a ship and holding on a rope. His shirt is partially transparent due to back lighting. In the background is a sail, a barrel, and some more ropes. The sky is a cloudy sunset and there is sea spray in the foreground.

Here’s one of my #ocs. She doesn’t have a real name so I just call her Bunny Mask or Bunny. The character was designed for a hypothetical Victorian themed platformer game.

I just finished her redesign, you can see her old design in the second image.

I thought a more retro style would suit her.

A character wearing a large cloak, dress, and a bunny mask. Her outfit is made up of several shades of blue as well as white and gold. She has long, wavy red hair. She has a serious expression. She is also accompanied by a black cat. She is drawn in a style inspired by retro cartoons.

This image features a design with many similarities to the first, but with a few differences. These differences are her straight hair, a medallion necklace, and, you don’t really see any of it but, her outfit under her cloak.

A pink Pokémon that is stuck mid evolution between a Flaafy and an Ampharos. She has a blue stone on her forehead and the end of her tail. She has white fluffy fur on her neck and ankles. She has purple eyes and some slightly lighter pink patches. She wears a yellow bandanna with a lemon pattern on her head. She is standing behind a wooden stand with a sign that says Lemonade’s Stand. She is outside on a nice day.

A lime green pony with a slightly darker mane and tail. He has a scar running through his eyes. He has an eyebrow piercing, a bridge piercing, and a septum piercing. His cutie mark is a pencil that turns into a lemon with a sprout at the top.

My most recent OCs, Vaughn (she/he) and Audra (she/her). They’re girlfriends :)

I love the way their color palettes ended up complimenting each other.

Here’s my next Arcane and Pokémon piece.

This one’s inspired by Jinx and Vi’s confrontation in season 2 when Jinx shows up to tell Vi about Vander.

Been thinking about if Arcane characters had Pokémon. I have many more thoughts, so you can almost certainly expect more art about this in the future.
