Emoji of fellas from my ISaT AU, Astral Bodies, for the gift exchange crew but other people are welcome to use or reference them~

their names are :gimme: :daww: :precious:

Loop's hat stars should technically be lighter than the brim but I don't caaare to fix it

#isatAU #isatSpoilers #fanart
Siffrin of CircusBalloon’s AU for the game In Stars and Time. They have a starburst-like black hole for a head and are looking towards the viewer with a hand dramatically reached towards the screen, palm open and up, as if asking to be handed something Loop from the same AU. They’re human with long, wavy hair, scarring around their mouth, freckles, dark cloak, and star patterns on their clothes. They are grinning toothily with their eye closed and hands together at their face in a mocking sort of adoration. Astral Bodies Loop with big, sparkly eye and a pout, hands in fists near their face in a gushy sort of expression.

@erradox.bsky.social 's and my OCs: Psavine, Miyanscinma, and River!
Psavine and Miyanscinma are flirty friends and shapeshifters, and Miyanscinma and River are chosen family/in a magical pact.

These three extremely theatrical gremlins deserved some love

#OCArt #art
A page of digital drawings mostly in muted purples and greens. Featuring River, a tiefling-adjacent character, with Psavine and Miyanscinma, two shapeshifters. In one, River looks scared while Psavine—humanoid with four wings—and Miyanscinma—fluffy orb-headed creature with arms and a snake-like body—surround her in sassy poses with ominous lighting. Miyanscinma--an eyeless fluffy monster with horns—grins with an open mouth while holding a mask with an angry eye. Miyanscinma and Psavine dance with River in humanoid forms. River holds knives with an angry expression and fire in her eyes. River grins with fire in her eyes and coming from her palms.

A nearly grayscale with subtle color drawing of Siffrin and Loop from the game In Stars and Time, floating and spinning in a starry sky while holding onto each other’s hands. Comets spin around them.

A pink page of digital drawings featuring cat-like creatures, a tiefling-like woman in different poses a person with white hair and pointed ears looking uncomfortably to the side, and the tiefling-like character looking at another character imperfectly mimicking her form.

OC lore train 🦇 explain your OC's lore in the worst way possible

A hot woman becomes a bard 'cause she only has one moon. She then meets a big fluffy moth and becomes even hotter because of this. Befriends a dead book while being paid to be feisty
Mostly pink and yellow cartoon drawing of a pink humanoid character with horns, a tail, and white stripes. She's got short curly hair with long sections that are braided and is smiling and posing enthusiastically, like she's jumping or dancing

Needed to draw ace blorbos to celebrate it being international asexuality day

#isat #isatSpoilers #fanart
A grayscale-ish with purple accents digital cartoon drawing of Siffrin, Loop, and Mirabelle from the game In Stars and Time. Siffrin and Mirabelle are on either side of Loop, each kicking a leg out and extending an arm while smiling. Siffrin has their arm rested on Loop’s shoulder while Mirabelle holds Loop’s hand. Loop blushes excessively while looking at the ground with big, sparkly eyes

Respiratory infection brain is making me SO sleepy and giggly right now

I can't stay awake for very long and am pretty sick but the world is hilarious
Digital cartoon drawings of the artist on a green background. They look tired, are sweating, swapped in a blanket, and have a toothy grin. Text by him says "-giggly-" and "infected" with a arrow pointing. There's also a drawing of holding up a sparkly floating bottle of antibiotics like getting a video game item (especially in Zelda games)

I was thinking about witches in Madoka Magica even though I haven't watched that in an age and a half.

This led to me wanting to draw Loop in a paper cutout esque style with Siffrin more rendered

#isat #isatSpoilers #fanart
A digital cartoon drawing of Loop and Siffrin from the game In Stars and Time. Loop, a starburst object head, is sitting at the base of a tree facing the viewer and smiling with one eye while their other is covered by a coin. They have puppet strings going up into the tree off-frame. Siffrin is in the foreground, facing away from the viewer. Only their hat and cloak are visible. There are tears, leaves, and paper cranes framing the image. Siffrin is done in a more rendered style while the rest is done in simple colors with sharp edges, emulating a paper cutout.

I started this exactly three years ago and finished it today (well- yesterday now)

River and her pet Pearl.
They're perfectly innocent and would never get up to mischief ever (lying)

#OCArt #art #fantasyOC
A pink digital drawing of River, a tiefling-like character with short curly hair and braids, and Pearl, a moray eel-like dragon creature. Pearl is curved around River from behind while River has her hand under Pearl’s chin and cheek leaned against her snoot. River is smiling toothily.

gonna casually share this rp response of my girl River because I like it

#doodlin #OCArt
Digital drawings of River a tiefling-adjacent character with short hair in loose curls and waves and long braids framing her face. She’s glaring off-screen with green fire in her eyes and one of her hands, and says “… I hated them. But that is kinda funny” River claps hers hands together with a fake smile, the fire gone from her hand but green light still comes from her eyes. With sparkles around her and extra curly text with hearts around it, she says “Anyway! I need to scream for a second!” She then tips over onto the ground, rolls onto her back with her hands on her face, and screams. The screaming fades out with only one hand on her face and her eyes no longer green, staring upward. She says: “Okay. I’m okay. Fuck.”

Hoop (human Loop) Daycare adventures, featuring my AB Loop and @mintbearjr.bsky.social 's Daisy.

Ash asked how other Loops would respond to seeing Daisy's face, and joked about the "[Daisy will now kill for you]" bit to AB Loop's utter lack of reaction.
Had to draw it

#isatSpoilers #isatAU #isat
Digital comic of fan versions of Loop from In Stars and Time, featuring my human Loop from the Astral Bodies AU and Ash’s Daisy from their Two Coins AU who has no lower jaw and a fairly skeletal appearance. AB Loop approaches Daisy with a tired neutral expression. “Hey Daisy” Daisy turns, wide eyed in surprise. AB Loop continues talking: “Have you seen my Stardust anywhere? We were supposed to play board games but I can’t find them” Daisy looks down at AB Loop through zir veil, a hand brought up near zir face with nervous curiosity. AB Loop goes on: “...You can join us if you’re not busy.” A large black box like a video game popup appears. “[ Daisy will now Kill for you. ]” AB Loop’s eyes go wide in a shocked expression. They’re quiet for a moment, then shout “Because of BOARD GAMES???” with a quieter comment after of “I didn’t know you liked them that much???”

Have some more out-of-context snippets for fun (context for the first bit: an entity wanting to eat someone of her species)

anyway I think mutuals with OCs should do silly doodle roleplays with River. Batting my eyes at you

#OCArt
Drawings on a dull pink background of my OC River, a pink tiefling-adjacent character with tall horns, stripes and speckles, and somewhat curly white hair with braids on the side. River looks horried then uncomfortable, sweating cartoonishly and saying “to put it nicely… HELL the fuck NO???? But I might be willing to sell, like, some of my blood? If that counts??” She looks to the side with a hand up, saying “I’d let you buy some. ‘Wouldn’t be the first time I’d sold my blood.” A quieter speech bubble says, “probably won’t be the last.” River puts a hand on her hip and holds an index finger up. “Terrible for cooking because of the high heat tolerance though” There’s a lighter drawing of me looking nervously to the side and saying, “Wait she can’t sweat-” River rubs at the back of her neck uncomfortably, and says a quiet “fuck, um…” then “Either? Both?” She looks thoughtful, hand moving to have index finger curled at her chin with pupils glowing. “...Are books from other planets on the table?” A slightly different pink background with River smiling cheerily with a hand raised and the other on a hip. She says, “I mean, not really? I just wanted to say hi!”

... I don't know why I drew this

#isat #fanart
Digital cartoon comic of Loop and Siffrin of the game In Stars and Time sitting across from each other. Loop is a starburst object head with a spiky dark body and Siffrin is a cloaked human with a big pointy hat. Loop and Siffrin sit across from each other, Siffrin holding a ticking stop watch. Loop has their legs crossed and hands rested on a knee, and three sparkles. Loop asks, “...Stardust, what are you doing?” and Siffrin says “timing you.” There are three more panels of Loop becoming more confused and sparkles becoming smaller and fewer while Siffrin smiles more and more smugly, the stopwatch continuing to tick.

You know what? This account has not had enough River on it so have some drawings I did for a random doodle roleplay today. Because I DID, in fact, draw my current main girl today.
#OCArt #doodlin
Drawings on a dull pink background of my OC River, a pink tiefling-adjacent character with tall horns, stripes and speckles, and curly white hair with braids on the side. She’s looking up with big eyes and saying “Tall…” with a note to the side that she’s 5’3” (160cm) at the top of her head. She smiles and raises her hands in a more relaxed way and says, “Ah- I’m River~ <3” River leans forward with a hand on a hip and a smile, pointing up. She says, “Father as a name has a fun drama to it- I like it!” She raises a hand with a flame above it, one brow more raised than the other. She says, “But yeah, I’m a Minikin of the Solanum line. Legend has it that we were once humans but made a bargain with fae, the Order of Solanum, and became this!” She looks to the side with a more neutral expression, clutching her hand and the flame going out with sparks. The other hand points towards herself. “...Way before my time, though. So yeah – I’m definitely not human.”

Loop is a starburst object head with a spiky dark body and Siffrin is a human with a big pointy hat and cloak. There are flames along the bottom half of the drawing with Siffrin in front of them, looking to the side with a frown as his cloak billows. He has a glowing stylized heart over his chest. Behind Siffrin, Loop has chains around their neck and arms and is pulling at them, back to the viewer. Spikes of glow are shooting off them.

Illustrated chapter 2 of A Field by the River. For fun and for procrastination purposes~

It feels so weird drawing Field pre-haircut because I'm just here like "who is THAT"

#isat #isatSpoilers #fanart #isatOCs
A digital cartoon drawing of Field, a human version of Loop from the game In Stars and Time. The picture is for the fanfic A Field By the River, and Field is lying presumably naked on sparkling ground. They have an open frown and are opening their eyes, hair over their face. Sunbeams are steaming down. A beach with River, my OC, wearing a cloak and holding her hands palms out with a concerned expression. Field is in the foreground, looking towards her and away from the viewer. Field and River looking at each other with wide eyes and concern, Field’s mouth open. Field is now wearing River’s cloak, and both of their hair is blowing in the wind.

I love.... thinking about Loop as an undead funky creature... !!!

just imagining the game exactly the same except Loop is huge and ominous. For the drama.

Siffrin and Loop from the game In Stars and Time, though Loop's design is modified. Siffrin is a human with light hair that's black in the back and a big shawl-type cloak. In this, Loop is a long, mummy-like creature with a shining cracked skull for a head missing teeth. They have wings stretching out behind them, dark skin, a four-pointed star on their chest, and long, sharp lingers in a shambling sort of pose, looming over Siffrin from behind.

They have wings rested on the ground next to them, dark skin, a four-pointed star on their chest, have chains attached to their neck and wrists. They are sitting on a tree root with the side of their face rested on a fist, looking down at Siffrin who’s standing in front of them and only comes up to their mid to lower calf.

Digital cartoon drawings of Loop from the game In Stars and Time looking displeased and also pointing with smile eyes. Text around says "obligatory Loop lag test (I'm lagging)" and "their head makes a nice test for lag levels" My human Loop, Field. They have short, wavy hair, freckles, dark hands with claws, scarring around their eye and mouth, and a dark star on their chest. They're wearing a tank top and skirt and smiling with their tongue out, while text says "This creature is banished from the main page." The image looks like it's cropped out of a bigger page with other corners of drawings encroaching on the space. Loop and Siffrin. In one, Loop is wearing a party hat and looking at least mildly unhappy with their arms folded. Text by them says "obligatory warmup star and WOW I'm lagging a lot" with a frowny face then "still laggy but less so." There's also a drawing of lasagna with "WOW lasagna" next to it. In another drawing, Loop and Siffrin are together on a root. Siffrin is lounging with their head in Loop's lap and their arms in the air with a frown and mouth open, perhaps complaining, while Loop smiles with their eyes and plays with Siffrin's hair. There's a drawing of me holding my face next to it that says "I just crave cozy (bratty) friends" A scene from my fic, A Field by the River. Siffrin is running and crashing into a startled, off-balance Field with a hug. Siffrin is crying and there are hearts coming off him. Text near them says "(seconds before disaster)"
