Honestly though, this bit in particular just feels like poetry from the universe.

Exciting times, folks! I can finally introduce to you all my very first fursona: Plum!

I’ve been sketching around and brainstorming the design of this character since February of this year and I finally felt it was good enough to post.

#ocsky #originalcharacter #fursona
A reference-ish slash exploratory illustration sheet of my first fursona! Plum is a bat furry with dark purple hair, burgundy fur that fluffs at the jaw and light peach skin. They wear large, round glasses, hooked over their ears with wire, a flannel shirt with the sleeves ripped off, a Batman logo t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up and dark trousers with the cuffs rolled up. Their hands are clawed and their middle, ring and pinky fingers extend to form large bat wings. In the first drawing Plum appears to be mid-flight, pointing at themself like they’re asking a question to an unseen person. In the second illustration they look quizzically at a smartphone with a phone grip (the only way they can keep a grip with bat wing-hands) with their glasses reflecting, making the eyes invisible. The third illustration is a direct front-view of Plum’s head, showing the natural flow of her hair, their halfway lidded eyes and grin showing some spiteful satisfaction. The fourth illustration is a small doodle of what Plum would look like as an Animal Crossing character. Here, the wings are separated from their arms, extending from the back instead. At the bottom of the character sheet is the colour palette from coolors.co that I used to pick the colours for the character, it is titled “Mystic Evening”.

QRP with the oldest and newest art of your OC!

(This may not be the oldest, but it was the oldest I could find)

#art #originalcharacter #ocsky
An inexpertly drawn illustration of an anime cat girl with black ears and tail, short, purple hair with bangs and up in twin tails, wearing a poofy purple strapless dress and hoody purple detached sleeves, purple choker with pendant, glove (singular) and garter belt. On the cat tail is a pink bow with a bell. The character is labeled "Kathamarisu Sumisaki, Mew Blackberry". Kat (Mew Blackberry) is a Tokyo Mew Mew self insert OC. They have short violet hair with long-ish bangs as well as brown cat ears and a tail. They wear a violet choker with turquoise ruffles and a gold pendant. Around their upper arms they wear violet poofy detached sleeves with turquoise ruffles. They wear a violet tank top-like bodice with “tails” coming out the bottom like on Ichigo and Lettuce’s bodices. They wear violet shorts; on their left leg the shorts come down to their calf, while on the left it only comes down to their mid-thigh. A violet leg band with turquoise ruffles peeks out underneath. They wear dark blue fingerless driving gloves as well as dark blue combat boots. Kat sits on an unseen floor, reclining against an unseen wall. Their left foot flat on the floor, their right calf resting on their left knee. Their right elbow resting on their right knee. Their left hand rests on their left hip. They stick out their tongue in a cheeky expression.

Sometimes, drawing all of your art yourself means you come to a meme half a year late, but you know what, that’s okay! Because that means I made something! Myself! With all my human quirks and faults! Without a computer spitting it out!

#actionfigurememe #illustration #art #artsky
An illustration of an action figure in a blister pack on pastel rainbow coloured cardboard. The top of the pack says “Hat & Goggles: Art Edition”. The figure itself wears a captain’s cap with goggles affixed to it, has brown hair and brown eyes, glasses and wears a cream coloured shirt with an anchor shaped emblem on the left side of the chest, blue jeans with cuffed pant legs and high, black combat boots. The first accessory the figure comes with is a denim jacket with colourful patches, with a small piece of text that says “Collect all three themed patch jackets!” The second accessory slot is filled with a black iPod classic and wired earbuds and a pastel pink Nintendo DS Lite. The third accessory slot is filled with an iPad and an Apple Pencil. The final accessory the figure comes with is an ita bag with various colourful button badges, sword and axe shaped enamel pins and a plush Moomin keychain on the outside.

I decided to do a bit of a style experiment (the shading has cute little halftone dots inside it) but after putting the illustration through Nightshade it doesn’t really show :’)

Oh well, at least I’m happy with the rest of how it turned out!

#ocsky #originalcharacter #dndcharacter
Belris (a DND 5E Halfling) stands on her fiancé Fuyuko’s (a DND 5E Goliath) thigh, and with an arm around Fuyuko’s neck and a hand gripping her shirt, pulls the smiling Goliath in for a kiss. Fuyuko, in turn, holds a careful arm out to catch Belris, should she lose her balance and fall. They are surrounded with black and white outlined roses and shoujo manga bubbles.

For my sweet girl Belris (up the tree) it would be learning the basics of adventuring from her Grampa Ted!

#ocsky #dndcharacter
In front of a cream coloured, vine covered house with dark green shutters stands a tree. Up in the tree, popping her head out of the leaves, we find Belris. A small halfling child with rusty ginger hair in a braid just past her shoulders, wearing a dark green dress. Addressing her from the ground is her grandfather, Ted. A middle aged halfling man with equally rusty ginger hair on his head, chin and arms, albeit faded slightly from age and silver hairs, wearing a light brown shirt, an open dark teal vest and dark trousers.

Mmmm I love taking a week off from work just because and going into the city with my mom and getting ourselves some nice treats
A plate with chopsticks and napkins with instructions on how to eat ramen (first taste the broth, then taste the toppings, then try the noodles, then dig in) from Takumi. My tonkatsu black garlic ramen with chashu. Floating in the bowl you can also see a halved soft boiled egg, paksoi, nori sheets and bamboo. My mom's ebi furai gyoza don. The gyoza and fried shrimp are immediately visible, as well as broccoli and pickled radish. Underneath all of that was a decent amount of rice. A vinyl record of Aladdin Sane by David Bowie. The price label says it's second hand and costs €20. A pretty good deal, considering the brand new record was priced €40.

Happy Halloween!

This year I wanted to be a bit topical with dressing Belris up as a Labubu and have her somehow hanging off Fuyuko as an accessory.

#ocsky #art #dndcharacter #halloween
Fuyuko (a DND 5E Goliath) is dressed in a Japanese sailor school uniform, complete with backpack and hair bow is rushing through a darkening city street over a zebra crossing, as Belris (a DND 5E Halfling, her financé), dressed as a dark green Labubu can no longer hold onto the ring on the backpack and panics as she falls to the pavement.

“I’m going to make a very serious character for this Curse of Strahd campaign.”

Makes Whoopi Goldberg from Sister Act but make it a twink in drag.
Two illustrations of a tiefling bard with olive skin, black curly hair and green eyes. On the left the bard holds his lute and smiles, wearing a white poet’s shirt, a long, purple tunic over top and dark breeches and dark boots. On the right, the bard holds his lute and has his eyes closed in a solemn song, wearing a nun’s habit with a yellow rising sun decorating the wimple.

Mmmm I love falling off the second to last step on the attic stairs because my arms are so full of anime figure boxes that I can't see my feet and I misjudged the number of steps 😩

At least my shelves are getting there 💖
A desk with two computer screens, a box and a rolodex, above which are some mounted shelves containing manga, video games and anime figures and other small colourful trinkets.

A worthy addition to my DND ita bag made by @novahiker.bsky.social !
A button showing a happy ginger halfling and a happy black haired goliath with their heads lovingly touching against a lilac background.

Omg I love Doe Maar
A hand holding the CD "Uno" by Green Day. The cover of said album features the face of frontman Billie Joe Armstrong in black and white with his eyes crossed out, and is otherwise neon green with neon pink, which are incidentally the signature colours of Dutch ska band Doe Maar.

I love the GPSR

Throwback to that one time Hildebrandus and Amber caught a changeling that didn't appear too impressed!

I can still barely believe I finished this silly little meme after 2 months.

#dndcharacter #humanfighter #dwarfcleric #art #ocsky
Subtitles: "All I see here is fools and thieves!" Hildebrandus Lambkin (tall, skinny human in a light shirt and dark coat, hand on sword) and Amber (dwarf, stocky build, wearing heavy, padded clothing, a dark vest and a warhammer strapped across her back) peer sternly at their captive, a barely humanoid changeling. Subtitles: "Ooh, self burns. Those are rare." Hildebrandus Lambkin (tall, skinny human in a light shirt and dark coat, hand on sword) and Amber (dwarf, stocky build, wearing heavy, padded clothing, a dark vest and a warhammer strapped across her back) glance at each other and smile, the captive changeling embarrassed by what they just said.

This week's D&D session left me inspired after a months-long dry spell! I'm so glad I finally got to play my sweet child Urika!

#art #dungeonsanddragons #halfelfwizard #halfelffighter #firbolgranger #ocsky
A chest-up monochrome illustration of 3 characters in pink and burgundy tones. In the middle is the introverted and awkward half elf wizard Urika (light brown skintone, black, unkempt hair covering their eyes, a nice, white dress shirt with a nice, burgundy waistcoat on top), clutching onto their white cane (Urika is visually impaired) for security. To the left is Styx the Stygian (Stonecold Hammer’s PC), a half elf fighter (fair skin, long, light hair worn in a ponytail, shirtless, but with a black cape and snake tattoos, built like a brick wall). Styx is slightly off-balance, leaning on Urika with a meaty arm hooked around their neck; the other arm is outstretched off screen. He is laughing and clearly having fun. To the right is The Nameless One (Larty’s PC), a firbolg ranger (light pink skin, mid-tone pink hair; a big mass barely contained in a ponytail, wearing a mint green shirt and a light blue sash over it). She is posed similarly to Styx, but rather than having her arm around Urika’s neck, she has her own arm linked with theirs. On screen are 3 labels with arrows; 2 of them labeling Styx and No-Name as extraverts, 1 labeling Urika as an introvert.

The amount of time I put into tweaking the sizes of these characters whenever I have them interact (they are engaged to be married) never ceases to amaze me 😬
An unfinished sketch of two of my DND characters (one a Goliath, one a Halfling) kissing. The Halfling is standing on the thigh of the Goliath, pulling her in for a kiss, while the Goliath makes a desperate attempt to keep the two of them balanced.

Did it! And I didn't pass out from the heat nor from nerves! David was so lovely and even though the interactions were short, I'm still glad I did it!

I was having a bit of an art block when @jollygamer.bsky.social mentioned wanting something original for Neil Newbon to sign at #comicconholland last Saturday, so I was happy to take on the challenge!

A chibi representation of an angry Astarion (Baldur’s Gate 3) chases a goose holding Astarion’s dagger in its beak around base camp as Karlach (Baldur's Gate 3) and a player character look at the situation incredulously. An overlay of the game’s interface is placed over the characters. The very same illustration, but signed by Neil Newbon in silver Sharpie.

A chibi representation of Honey Kisaragi (fair skin, long, blonde hair and blue eyes) poses mid jump, two fingers resting on the choker around her neck to transform. She wears a blue and white mini dress, white and blue gogo boots, a red hairband, a red ribbon around her left upper arm and a red choker.
