An OC and the flower that represents them! 🌼 Most of my characters are named after plants, so for two of them who aren't:

💛 Twin: Columbine: Foolishness, courage, resolve
🖤 Aluco: Thistle: Protection, resilience, harshness

I swear I remember I have a webcomic I gotta update, have a WIP featuring Clover.

#wipwednesday #originalcharacters

A WIP panel from Deck.
Clover holds on eye closed and holds another arm outstretched toward the reader with a grin. The pupil of her open eye is divided into 3.

It's Twin, and it's not even close.
He's a kid in a bad spot who's not mature enough to recognize who's helping and who's hurting him, so he lashes out at nearly everyone who crosses his path. He's smug and convinced he has all the answers just so no one can tell him he's wrong

#originalcharacters

A mock panel from Deck.

Twin gives a smug smile after narrowly avoiding a punch to the face from Acer that clearly would've ended him

"Whoa dude. Temper. What if you had actually hit me?

sketch with dialogue of OCs from my comic, Deck.

June is holding Acer's head, forcing him to look at her and not the offpanel Horrors she caused.

June: Oh-- Ace! I'm so happy to see you here ♥!
Acer: Uh-- yeah, good to--

CRASH
BOOM

Acer: What the fuck was tha
June: Eyes on me.

One last #OC-tober pic, where I draw my OCs as characters from horror movies. Here they're being BEST PALS who nothing terrible and/or monster related will ever happen to!

This one's kind of a 1:1. Guess the movie if you can-- answer's in the alt text.

Hey, hi, howdy! Happy #portfolioday to one and all! :)

I go by LeafSaw and I absolutely love OCs and will probably do your DTIYS if you post one.

🧡 I've also got a webcomic on Tapas, called Deck! tapas.io/series/rigge...

Acer and Clover, my OCs, on an empty subway.

Harrier, OC of midnightcoffee.bsky.social, looks into a mirror with the word "smile" written on it. Her reflection takes a picture of her. Beside her is the name of the webcomic she comes from, Hi, Strangeness: https://hi-strangeness.com/

A textless page of Deck. Acer stands to complain to a robot at the newsstand.

My OCs Ollie, Scout, and Chain in battle-ready poses.

an idea for a comic page in thumbs. acer is looking over a fence but is then pleasantly surprised to see clover appear beside him, taking his attention away from whatever he was looking at before.

Also from 2021! I realized I had to fix Iori's hand and then put the file away and never opened it up again, like someone who faces her problems.

None of you are allowed to get tired of Aluco until I can figure how to draw his face consistently.

Chain holds Aluco's face close with an intimidating toothy grin. Aluco is not amused.

Aluco's three emotions: cautious, annoyed, and slightly more annoyed.

@leafsaw.bsky.social

These are characters from my webcomic, but this sequence was solely for writing practice. I started thumbing because............................... yeah I was procrastinating working on the actual comic.

Also I thought seeing Gera sprawled out like that was funny.

Aluco is walking beside Chain
A: Fucking board didn't want my input before they screwed us all over. Now all they care about is how I'm gonna fix it.

Chain looks up to the ceiling. Aluco is distracted by his phone.
A: That piece of shit--
C: Heads up, Al.

Al sighs.

Geranium is bored and laying on the ceiling. It looks stupid.

A: Geranium. Get down from there. If you're that bored, I've got actual work for you to do.

Aluco looks around, suspicious. Meanwhile, Chain holds his arms out.

A: Where the hell's Twin?
C: Over here, Gera.

Chain catches Gera.
G: Haha!

Pretty sure this was supposed to be Dragon's Dogma fanart of my OCs but I messed up their heights and never got around to fixing it (Gera/Twin are my arisen/pawn for those who know my ocs).

If anyone wants to use these as bases, feel free.
