Halfbody art of my OC Ilenne, a woman with white bobcut, an eyepatch on her right eye, holding a sword Two charts of questions: basic and lore Two charts of questions: relations and scenarios Two charts of questions: weirdly specific and meta

Tesh and Sky are the equivalent to married in their world, and the unholy trio are too: Ilenne (middle one) is married to the other two, while Ray and Val are kind of QPR :)
My OCs Sky, a long blue haired man with glasses, and Tesh, a nonbinary masc person with black wavy hair on a bun and scars on his face and neck The unholy trio, my OCs Ray, Ilenne and Val, left to right, cuddling and with myosotis flowers around them

I've been a bit struggling this week, but hopefully will get better next week. For now, a wip of what I wanted to do with the stamps of last month's challenge

🌿Share your OC + a plant you associate with them🌿

Old drawing, but Sky at left and Tesh at right!

Sky's is a dandelion, with hope and healing, aside from his name and the flower flying
Tesh's is forget-me-not, with remembrance and loyalty

Besides, their flowers match each other's palette :)
Two of my OCs, Sky at left, he has glasses, long blue hair and a feathery navy coat, while Tesh is at right, he has a messy bun of dark hair, neck scars and a sleveless black coat. They are cuddly and the text on the left says "Happy new year" (this was for 2021) Dandelion, yellow flower at left, seeds ready to fly at right Myosotis or forget-me-not flower, it's small, blue with five petals and a yellow and black center

The last two of them, two games in which colors and emotions are very prevalent and that I very much adore visually

Two round shapes that make me really happy for some of the last stamps of the month - Animal Crossing has been with me since Gamecube and E33 has given me hope about videogames and art in the current hard era ♥️

#linoctober #graboctubre #artober #acnh #expedition33 #clairobscur
Stamp of Brewster from ACNH, partially inspired by the look of a certain coffee shop company's logo Stamp of the face of Esquie from E33, looking happy and with the text "wee & woo" under

The last relevant OCs I will share for now are these because they are the most recent ones absorbing my brain, specially Alba. She was a concept floating in my head for a few years already and it took me so long to design her, but now I got the need to draw her so bad...

#NalaOCs
Info sheet for my blob Alba, a demon priestess of life and death with two moon shaped horns and an eyepatch Info sheet for my blob Zero a guy (non-binary, but masc leaning and is cool with masc-gendered nouns) with a prosthetic eye, a metallic mask and a black and gold uniform.

A couple other stamps of two games I liked recently and one game I adore from when I was younger...always been a lover of animal-like main characters. Also pretty happy with the crow from Death's Door :)

Aside from MD story, I have another main one, TSOH which has a few important groups but it all was born with the unholy trio. When I say those words I refer to Ilenne, Val and Ray! They've owned my brain for the past 6 years straight and I still think and yap a lot about them

#NalaOCs
Sheet of my OC Ilenne, a white-haired woman with an eyepatch, light skin, and a few subtle scars on face. Sheet of my OC Valentine, who I call Val, he's a man with dark skin, freckles, wavy/curly blonde hair and elf ears. Sheet of my OC Rayna, who I call Ray, they have two short horns, tan skin, long wavy/curly dark hair and on icon they are wearing a flower crown with the colors of the non binary flag

Happy ace week everyone! Sharing a little old art of one of my main OCs who is ace (and aro!), Kiz in their human AU version :)
OCs have always helped me understand my identity a bit better, and the aspec side of me is no exception

#Aceweek #NalaOCs
Old art of my OC Kiz, with braided hair, dark-ish skin, some wrinkles, holding bluebell flowers, with the aro, ace and non-binary flag colors in the background

My other two mains from MD are Sky and Tesh, they are also the oldest of my main OCs nowadays, having created them back in...maybe 2012? They also had various redesigns and even if I have other OC fixations, they are still two of my most important ones ⭐
#NalaOCs
Little sheet for my man Sky, he's got blue long hair tied in a braid, wears earrings, has glasses, a blue feather-y cape and white-ish clothes. Sheet for my OC Tesh, he's got black wavy hair tied in a ponytail, and a little braid, earrings, two scars on face, a necklace, a black cape and white-orange-yellow clothes.

Made a lil sheet to share info about my main OCs!

These are Shin and Kiz, two of my older characters who are important to my worlds. They are from one of my main stories, MD, and sometimes I also use Kiz as mascot in their creature form. Shin has suffered two big redesigns through years!

#NalaOCs
Sheet for my girl Shin, a femme person with caracal ears, brown wavy hair, slightly tan skin tone, wearing jewelry inspired by ancient Egypt. Sheet for my OC Kiz, a person with dark braided hair, dark skin tone, elk horns with accessories and a cape/blanket over the shoulders, wearing light colored clothes.

A different thing for a change, a very chill doodle-illustration I did for #ArtFright2025 because I really liked this palette! Ft. two of my older OCs, Cherry (left) and Berry (right) - yes they are girlfriends
Two girls enjoying an afternoon out, drawn in a blue and yellow-y palette. Cherry at left is sitting and holding Berry at right, who is standing on one leg with arms stretched in an almost T. Berry is having fun while Cherry seems a little worried about her not falling down.

Hi hi that sounds like a cool idea! I love doing TTRPG character commissions - the first three are recent samples of a tarot card, party scene, and character design commissions :) last one as extra sample of group art because I LOVE drawing compositions with multiple characters
Tarot art commission for a vampire woman, she has gears in the background, and she's holding some sort of tech piece with wings on one hand, a book in the other. The card is I - The magician A party art of a group reunion at a neon-vibe diner, they seem to be talking through a plan but each of them has a different mood. For sample, the left character is just waving at the right character that looks back in disdain. The leader and the ones to his left seem to discuss the plan while the ones on the right seem to not be agreeing. Character design commission for an anthro antelope/satyr woman with a broken horn. The left design has leather clothes and a blue cape while the right one has a more cozy green vibe. Full watercolor illustration of my OCs from a personal story, with the three main ones at bottom and the rest at top.

The 4th one is for a game I played a couple months ago. Nine Sols was a hard game for sure but I really enjoyed the curious taoism and cyberpunk mix, and many of thr character designs

Linocut and a tiny behind the scenes :)

#linoctober #graboctubre #artober #linocut #ninesols
Same linocut drawing in three colors: blue, black and yellow, of Yi from Nine Sols with a sun and rays in the background Wip of the seal with some color tests on grid paper, the stamp itself and the material to cut it.

And a couple doodles with my thoughts, in the end I specially see them in contrasts: my adult vs younger self, sapphic vs masc self, introversion vs extroversion etc. it’s sort of like the two sides of me in my head.

Funny enough, Nala is easier, but Hiku is easier/more recognizable drawn in BW
Little info about my sonas with Nala the bear at top left and Hiku the red panda at bottom right.

I’ve been wanting to draw my sonas together and introduce them for a bit and I got some time today! Nala is my proper sona, she’s the one of my icon, while Hiku was born as an OC and eventually became sort of a sona.
They are friends in my head even if I rarely draw them together!
My fursonas Nala, a brown bear wearing a yellow sweater, and Hiku, a cheerful red panda with a teal top

From main OCs, there's two that have siblings! The mains are Tesh (they/he) and Ilenne (she), at right, and then there's their little siblings at left - Ashley (she) and Elliot (he) :)

Don't mind me I only had these 5 y.o. sketches of them together from when I was figuring out the siblings designs
My OCs Ashley at left and Tesh and right. Ash has a low ponytail, glasses and two purple hair highlights, she's wearing a pink and grey hoodie. Tesh has some lightly matching vibe with a higher ponytail, a pink shirt and a black and grey hoodie. My OCs Elliot, at left, and Ilenne, at right. Elliot has long brown hair, half tied on a bun, freckles, and is wearing a brown apron on a white shirt and green vest. He has a wooden leg. Ilenne has white hair, and blue, white and brown clothes along a dark brown cape.
