Not finished yet, but this is what I have so far. The background is a placeholder if it's not obvious 😹

Don't know why, but I wanted to make a pixel art version of Madame Emily as well. Imma attempt to animate her when I'm done!

Sketched a thumbnail storyboard for a short animation idea I randomly thought of.
Mad respect points if y'all know where I got the audio from.

I got the flat colors down. I think wearing all black with some red suits a supervillain like the Madame Emily variant.
#oc #originalcharacter #blackartist #ocsky #artist #artsky
Emily's most evil variant, Madame Emily in all black wearing high heeled rocket boots. The reason she has purple eyes is that she's always using her powers to show fear and ofcourse power amongst her enemies. It's also a reference to my original concept to her former design about a decade ago where I had her as the main villain for my stories and she has purple eyes regularly instead of her current brown eyes.

That I'm not sure. On Instagram, it was Kariah, I guess on here it's Vanessa, then again I haven't showed all of my OCs on here yet.

At some point in their 30s, Kenji and Emily do end up marrying each other. However, there exists an alternative timeline where Emily is married to someone else while Kenji remains a loner unknown if he ever finds love again.

I'm finished! Here's Madame Emily aka Emily's most evil variant. In her timeline she's the most feared, cunning and powerful supervillain the world's ever known. Hopefully she'll never become a dimension hopper so she could conquer other timelines. 😏
#oc #blackartist #ocsky #artsky #artist
Side note: The Kenji and Kariah of this timeline are the only ones who manage to foil her plans. Though every attempt isn't without a couple of failures. Half the time Kenji has to work alone as Kariah sometimes be a bit of a double agent only because Emily is, despite all of her evilness, her big sister. However she'll be on Kenji's side if Emily goes too far. Whenever a battle is victorious on Kenji's end, he never has the heart to finish her off because in a messed up way, fighting her gives him a special kind of excitement he never experienced with other foes and although she won't admit it, Emily feels the same way whenever she's victorious. So with that, they share a dark (and possibly naughty) secret that the outside world never found out about and disguise it as the loser who keeps getting away.

Obviously a #wip but I'm sketching out a full body version of Emily's most evil variant, Madame Emily.

Was thinking about how the Mega Man games made art of Mega Man using any weapon he gets after beating bosses and wanted to do that with Emily for every weapon chip she finds, starting with a Fire Chip.

Felt the urge to draw the Sirius Sisters as their adult selves. I think thicker outlines fit my artstyle.

#artist #oc #ocsky #blackartist #artsky #originalcharacter
Amelia as an adult. She's 25 here. She's gone through a lot throughout the years due to a canon event that happened between her and her younger sister Emily. She's more of a lone wolf nowadays. Emily as an adult, she's 23 here. She's not as happy go lucky and heroic anymore due to a canon event that happened between her and her older sister Amelia. She had quite the short lived villain arc during her late teens to early 20s but is more of an antihero nowadays. The only thing that has remained from her old personality is her sassy, petty and sometime playful self. Kariah as an adult, she's 22 here. She's the only one out of the trio who remained the same. Kariah takes the heroic mantle that her older sister Emily left behind when she started her villain arc. All of the sisters together. Despite all being adults, Emily's height remained the same, only being 4'9. It's not really a curse is just her mom's genetics were stronger than her dad's.

Sketched out an adult Kariah after thinking about my first ever sketch of her. That was 11 years ago😹.
#blackartist #oc #originalcharacter #artsky #ocsky #artist
My first drawing of Kariah back in November 2014. Fun fact her hairstyle in this sketch is referenced in my design for Kariah's teen self. I've pretty much done that for all of my OCs who were former Sonic OCs with the exception of Kenji. What she looks like today 11 years later.

Made a new battle sprite for my game. This will be used for the more angry variant of Emily if you were to pick a path where you get her angry.

Randomly thought about my 1st ever drawing of Emily in 2012 and redrew her in her current look. The only thing that stayed consistent all these years is her grin.

Finished that one Emily sketch from earlier this week. This is gonna be a sprite for her angry self in my game for the battle scenes. Will I give her an instant kill move just for shits and giggles? Maybe...😹

Finished another quick Teen Emily #animation. This is her anger status, based off a recent idea I have for my game to where you can do a mission if you choose a route that makes her upset. A non animated version will be used in game.

Did a quick Teen Emily blinking animation. If Bluesky had an animated avatar option this would be perfect lol. I plan to use a non animated version for my game as a status screen. Unless I can make it animated too.

Finally finished my horror illustration for the year! Here's Kenji & Emily fighting a monster who's a manifestation of a trauma they shared in their past. I had Silent Hill on the mind while working on this.

Since I should be done with my horror illustration by tonight, I decided to go back and do #sketches for my game. Since a new idea brewed while working on its development for the demo here are the results so far.
