seeing as i hijacked it for my header, here's an illustration from some juncture
surreal landscape illustration. swirling white clouds emanate from the dark silhouette of a distant fortress, lightly glowing beyond bleak flats of black sand and sulfur pools.

oc shitpost for me and one other person. alix is so tired
sequence of two drawings of heavily scarred, very tired human with short hair and armor, on a light blue background, with screenshots from a tumblr post by nymphoutofwater. the first drawing is accompanied by a screenshot reading "fuuuuck that is my circus. are those...? yep...". the character is watching something out of frame with crossed arms. the second drawing is accompanied by the second half of the post, reading "those are my monkeys..... goddammit." the character is looking down with a hand over their face, eyes closed.

4. Favorite OC design
This is so hard this is so hard I avoided it for a full day. I don't have one!!! I'm really happy with Taz's design I guess?? Repeat answer but them's consequences. He's one design I'm not dissatisfied with. It works.

bonus sanguines from looking for sanguine pics, a normal and a modern au
#dndcharacter #ocsky
Portrait on a pink background of a tiefling man with four horns, empty eye sockets, and facial scarring A dramatically shaded portrait of a human character with black hair messily tied back and facial scarring. The background is orange, and it's next to a doodle of a sunflower.

3. Favorite OC
This feels like it has to go to Sanguine. Legally. Subject of many drawings, AUs, one of which I'm developing a comic about for some reason, and a giant watercolor painting hung up in my apartment
A redraw of a screenshot from the Eric Andre Show where a character sits at a desk with a microphone and notecards, looking into and addressing the camera, overlaid with the text "1. The Tits" The character in this drawing is a blue tiefling with four horns, extensive scarring on his body, hands, and face, and an elaborately decorated navy blue overcoat. There's a fruity little purple drink in a glass on the desk. Four unfinished comic pages, over the course of which a character gets trapped in a car underwater, barely escapes, nearly drowns in the process, then loses and returns to consciousness coughing up water. A watercolor painting of someone with muted blue skin splayed on their back with their chest flayed open, sternum and heart removed so the only things visible in the chest cavity are the lungs and a hint of the abdominal organs. The character's face is not in frame. A necklace is laid atop the open cavity, the skin of which is pinned back with white-headed sewing pins.

1. Oldest OC
Alexis (hoodie) and Chris (collars) have both been kicking since 2012 or so! Third image is Alex ca. 2014. Both were originally homestuck ocs .
I had plenty of OCs earlier but these guys survived. Don't mind inconsistency here the first two pics are over a year apart
Drawings of three characters in blue pencil: a teenage girl with shoulder length hair and dark clothes (no expression), a young adult with choppy dyed hair and punk accessories (shouting), and a teenage boy in a hoodie (looking to the side with wide eyes). Five drawings of two characters. The first three drawings are a young man in a black hoodie with brown skin, 3c hair, and a broad hooked nose. The second image is accompanied by a speech bubble reading "[3hrs of infodumping]". In the third image, his hair is in chunky box braids. The last two drawings are of a young man with choppy dyed hair, freckles, a narrow jaw, and facial scruff. In the first drawing, he wears glasses and is holding a cigarette, wearing a pink shirt and decorated denim jacket. In the second image, he's rolling his eyes, wearing a spiked collar, light makeup, torn up black crop top, and a teal button-up tied into a crop top. A pencil drawing of a teenage boy with narrow features, wavy hair over one eye, a dark hoodie, and earbuds wrapped around his neck. He glares to the side.

a couple unfinished phantasmagoria sketches, second was mostly studying facial features since his face is constantly obscured #bg3oc #darkurge
high angle sketch of an elf with very long hair, no visible eyes, and a very wide, toothy grin, doing the archetypal gyaru peace sign pose. he wears a leather harness. there are sparkles drawn around the character. sketch of an elf with heavy facial scarring and an unsettling toothy grin. it's unfinished, with facial features outlined in black, and the hair, body, and other distinguishing features sketched in red pencil.

actual most recent basil drawings from like last month. pre-game (~25) and trespasser era (~29). man's fully grey by veilguard. it would've happened anyway, but literally every factor didn't help

#dragonageoc #dragonageinquisition

first-ever drawing of basil trevelyan (may 2021) vs. most recent proper illustration (july 2024)
he didn't lose the undercut, the second drawing is just a non-inquisitor situation. anyway oh my GOD

posting this on its own as well
i put them on a miserable road trip together as a form of enrichment. the ultimate form of "putting two guys in a box and shaking it around" #ocsky
full color digital sketch of two men having a conversation in a diner booth with red benches. the man on the left is pale and lanky with a sharp face, crooked nose, and scars on his hands and arms. he's speaking, gesticulating vaguely with one hand while stacking coffee creamer cups with his other. he wears an olive green dress shirt with rolled-up sleeves and has dark blue hair, blonde roots showing, pulled back into a sloppy ponytail. the man on the right has medium brown skin, a more muscular build, a hooked nose, facial piercings, and is heavily tattooed, a tired expression on their face while they stare at the table, face resting on one of their hands. their other hand is hidden, as their arms are partially crossed. they have long, dark brown hair with shaved sides, partially in their face, sunglasses pushed up onto the top of their head, and are wearing a sheer dark purple shirt rolled up to their elbows. the visible tattoos are loosely rendered, featuring suggestions of botanical illustrations and animal bones. the window behind them is lit sunset orange, providing a backlight. on the table between the two characters are standard condiments provided at a diner, more coffee creamer cups, and a tube of lipstick and lip gloss.

i AM going to post about my modern au dnd characters, who spent the entire summer relentlessly occupying my brain while i couldn't play them for real. shoutout to sanguine and vesper #ocsky
respectively, he/him and they/he
two colored and shaded, digitally sketched busts of human characters. on the left is a pale, lanky man in profile. his expression is flat, tired, and potentially irritable. he has sharp features, glasses, a crooked nose, and a prominent scar through his upper lip that reaches past his nose and exposes one of his front teeth. he has dark blue, shoulder length hair, blonde roots showing, messily pushed back from his face, and wears an olive green dress shirt. the top few buttons are undone, a dark undershirt visible. on the right is a front-facing masculine person with medium brown skin, a hooked nose, and long, dark hair with shaved sides. some strands fall over their face, and their hair is pulled into an unkempt braid over one shoulder. their expression looks uncomfortable and concerned. they wear opaque, purple-tinted sunglasses, dark purple lipstick, a sheer purple shirt that's open over their chest, and a black leather jacket with fringe on the front. they have facial piercings with gold jewelry and wear two gold necklaces.
