Also a wip of a new upcoming OC in the works, his name is Castor, he's an octopus, and he's the captain of the Red Rose ship ❤️ He was meant to be more lean but I ended up making him muscular instead 🤞

Pose practice with Adam (Eve after transitioning)

A good chunk of my ocs are trans men and also gay along with being pre-op other than the third one, yapped a bit more on their whole character in the alt thing since there's a whole ton to talk about and short descriptions aren't enough I gotta yap about them semi fully 💔

I like using religious/biblical imagery with some of my stories/characters and Eve is one of them (to the point that his chosen name was going to be Adam if he were to come out) He's the General of the nations hunters called Kurgans and really important. He's also not human but no one is aware of that but him and his "Caretaker" basically made and trained to be used as a weapon and to uphold the nations Legacy. He never gets the chance to properly come out and now his corpse is being used by an entity named Sosia who didn't really choose to be in his body it was through a gem which is a whole other thing but basically Sosia knows who Eve is and that they were a trans man, and goes on to basically reveal that and the group thinks he's lying and doesn't believe it. It's meant to be a trans allegory where that past you is "dead" and now you're someone "new" as in transitioning but the people around you refuse to accept it and try to chain you down to who you were once before and act like the old you is literally dead kinda if that makes sense. Overall the allegories and symbolism is transness, dog symbolism, Frankenstein motifs and biblical imagery :3

This is Lucas he's basically a lobster kemonomimi ig and he's a pre-op trans man, along with being disabled (due to getting attacked and injured his right leg being badly damaged and no longer has a tail) and autistic. Used to work at a bar to pay off student debt and that's where he met his boyfriend, who's a shark, that's a captain of a ship that are basically bounty hunters who go after people who harm sea life. He's also trans and post op so yk post op x pre op t4t relationship. They fell in love at first sight when Mako (the captain) went with his crew to get a few drinks and accidentally bumped into Lucas who was bringing them their drinks and classic "touch the same object at the same time so their hands touch as well" troupe and fell in love right there but it's like a little slow burn they're both pining over each other but assume the other isn't interested in them despite there being clear signs. They end up having a long distance friendship at first as Mako had to leave to travel and yk do his job. But in the end due to some things Lucas joins Mako and the others and travels with them

This is Klaus, he's post op and a bear (in a gay way but also quite literal since he's a werebear) bro has been in love with his best friend/teammate for decades and it's a whole ass brokeback mountain situation 😭 bro was his best friend's best man and saw him get married to a woman (he did not hate her btw, he found her lovely and perfect for his best friend) and after that Klaus went into the mountains and did not return for almost 20+ years. And the thing is the fact they weren't casual in their friendship, every time they'd drink together and get drunk they'd kiss and his best friend was very much openly bisexual they just never confessed to each other fully and labeled what they did as "fooling around" but it was absolutely not casual 😭

Finally this is Kalrin aka Dream God, he fully presents himself in the body of a woman and while he can change his form he chooses not to as he feels perfectly comfortable in his body and literally no one questions it. Currently he's a deep sleep as his own creations aka his children (the major arcana) betrayed him as they wanted more power and he gave them that because he loved his children and despite that they still "killed" him and now his (Vier) lover, they're also t4t, that also got killed like actually killed by the major arcana while trying to protect Kalrin guides a vengeful human hating Tiefling who wants to be as powerful as a god (also a trans man) named Kairon who is a parallel to Vier and his attitude
