Hope I'm not too late!
This is my boy Silas, he's a draconic bloodline sorcerer / hexblade warlock, con artist, and an amateur occultist

He's currently working with a party to investigate a demonic cult that's *definitely* not worshipping his warlock patron, whom he hasn't told anyone about yet
A drawing of a red skinned tiefling wearing a dark cowboy hat stitched with runes - his face is covered with gold scales, he has dark hair, and green eyes. The tiefling is wincing and appears to be injured, with a cut on his face as well as a black eye The same teifling snarling and bearing his teeth aggressively, his scales are bristling. The same teifling again, lounging and smoking a cigar confidently The same teifling again tipping his hat towards the viewer

Istg, I've used ALL my shiny luck on this game. Back before I stopped playing the first time I found a random shiny Eevee (who I immediately evolved into Sylveon) - they look so cute sitting together ✨

After I finished Pokemon Legends ZA, I decided to go back and finish playing Legends Arceus since I never actually finished the game back when it came out.

Booted the game up and look who I found almost immediately!! I wasn't even shiny hunting he popped up out of nowhere!

#OC-tober day 6 - Relationships

Decided to colour an old sketch of Silas and Gabriel for today's prompt

( #ocsky #OC-tober2025 #bweirdOCtober )
a digital artwork of two characters - a half elven man with scruffy dark hair and a goatee, who is blushing and trying to read a book. He is being interrupted by a red skinned teifling with gold scales, who is hugging him from behind.

Starting off #OC-tober with Day 1 - New OC

While not technically a new oc, I've never posted art of this guy before, and he recently got a redesign for a Superhero themed oneshot

Meet Bartholomew Black, Supervillain for Hire

( #ocsky #bweirdOCtober #bweirdOCtober2025 #OC_tober )
Two digital portraits of a character with dark hair and a pointed goatee - he wears dark clothing and has prominent cheekbones, eye bags, and an aquiline nose. Two full body artworks showing the same character in different clothing. The first labeled 'civilian' shows him in disheveled state wearing a lab coat and crooked glasses, the second is labeled 'alter ego' and shows him wearing a dark trench coat and a red and black tight fitting tech-suit

I'm old again 💀

Since it's my birthday I'm going to take the entire day off from irl responsibilities and just lock in and work on art fight revenges all day ~

In the meantime, here's some stupid art of my favourite loser siblings to celebrate

( #oc #ocsky )
an artwork of two men standing under a banner with flags that reads '26' - the man on the left - Gabriel - is flipping the viewer off and holding a beer - he has a scowl on his face and wears a dark purple flannel shirt. the man on the right - Ferdinand - has his arm around the other's shoulders and is giving an awkward thumbs up. He wears a flora patterned shirt and a set of dog tags.

The last updated ref sheet is finally done! 🦚✨

Ferdinand my bard/paladin and Gabriel's older half-brother - he's a washed up celebrity who uses illusion magic to make himself look like his - previously famous - younger self

( #oc #ocsky #dndart #characterdesign #artfight #teamfossils )
A reference sheet for a dnd character, displaying two full body artworks and four expressions. The character - Ferdinand - is a friendly looking older man with blond hair streaked with grey, a beard with a curled mustache, extravagant landsknecht inspired clothing, and a hairy chest. He wears the same clothes in both full body artworks but is notably thinner and younger in one of them - this artwork is labeled 'Disguise Self' while the other is labeled 'No Disguise' . In the expression artworks he is depicted with a soft kindly expression, a cocky expression, and a forlorn expression. A description reads "Ferdinand Goldenguard Human Eloquence Bard / Oath of Glory Paladin Neutral Good 46 years 5'11" he/him - an ostentatious adventurer with a love for storytelling a flair for the dramatic and an ego to match"
