Getting used to just being a little looser with these posts!! Y’all like wips and sketches on here? 😳

Noodling around with a D&D AU for my cowboys!! (Here’s tiefling Spade)

#ocsky #oc #art #tiefling #cowboy #dnd #dndau #sketch #concept
A series of color explorations for tiefling Spade. A fullbody sketch of Spade with a tail and horns, holding a cigarette at his side that’s billowing smoke. Sketches of Spade to figure out his horn situation and his face situation.

A doodle I cleaned up recently!! Thinkin' about Spade and Heart's custom boot heels... ♥️♠️

#oc #ocart #ocsky #cowboy #outlaw #sketch #art
A sketch featuring two cowboy ocs, Spade and Heart. Both men are seated next to each other, looking down at the viewer with half-lidded eyes and sly grins. Their legs are crossed together with their boots outstretched towards the viewer, showing off their heels. Heart's boot has a heart-shaped heel, and Spade's has a spade-shaped heel.

A friendship(?) in two images LMAO featuring Spade and Joel!!

#oc #ocsky #ocart #cowboy #outlaw #digitalart #sketch #wildwest #art #meme
A colored doodle featuring two cowboy ocs, Spade and Joel. Spade is a tall man with tanned skin and dark brown/black hair drawn back into a ponytail. Joel is a butch lesbian with greasy shoulder length black hair and brown skin. Joel is kneeling in front of Spade as though proposing to him, but instead of a ring- she’s presenting a middle finger to him with a smirk. Spade has his hands clasped over his face in feigned surprise, like he’s touched by the gesture. He could be welling up with tears. A monochrome sketch featuring two cowboy ocs, Spade and Joel… post wrestling match that Joel clearly won. Spade is sprawled out on the ground, with a flustered grimace on his face. He’s covered in dirt and bruises. Joel casually stands over Spade with one foot on his stomach, looking down at the poor fool she just finished whooping.

I'd be home with you, I'd be home with you. || Heart and Spade, back when everything was simple. Now it's just a memory.

#oc #ocart #ocsky #cowboy #queer #illustration #digitalart #art
An illustration featuring Heart and Spade. The two men are curled up with each other on a lush, grassy field. There are some leaves in the foreground, implying that they're being viewed through the branches of a tree overhead. Heart tucks his head into Spade's embrace. Both men wear carefree, content expressions on their faces. The same image as prev, but it's cropped closer to Heart and Spade and does not include the leaves in the foreground.

🃏 Tragedy comes in threes, third degree apathy 🚬 (A piece for Heart, Spade, and the demon possessing Heart.)

A redraw / illustration based on the Twelfth Night Kiss, featuring mine and a friend's cowboy characters! Spade stands at the center of the piece, flanked by two Hearts. His eyes are turned to the one on the left, who has his hand on Spade's shoulder and is leaning in to kiss him with a grin, shotgunning smoke in the process. Spade regards him with a conflicted expression-- His pupils glow with blue spctral light as he looks at this figure and knows that this is not really his Heart. This "Heart" is holding a smoking cigarette in one hand, and smoke swirls up unnaturally around both Hearts-- obscuring the right Heart's eyes, curling up around him like it wants to swallow him up. The Heart on the right (the real Heart) has his cheek leaning against Spade's shoulder, expression somber and yearning. He has a hand resting delicately on Spade's bicep. Through all of this, still desperate to not be forgotten, still desperate to get Spade's eyes back on him again. TLDR: This piece features the dynamics between these three characters: The House (the entity possessing Heart), Spade, and Heart.

I'm in the business of cowboy memes now LMAO !! Here's one for Heart, Spade, and their horrible third: the entity possessing Heart. (bonus doodle in the replies!)

#oc #ocart #ocsky #cowboy #queer #meme #art
A meme redraw featuring Heart, Spade, and The House (the entity possessing Heart). Heart and Spade are shirtless, leaning against each other with smiles as they both say, "I consent." Next to them is a shadowy version of Heart with an eerie glow in its eyes that says, "I don't!"

#Yeehawgust Day 5: Boot Scootin' Boogie (Part 2)

Here's part 2! Had two drawings for this prompt because Heart and Spade love to dance! They're great dancers. Always in sync, no matter who ends up leading.

#oc #ocart #ocsky #cowboy #outlaw #illustration #art
An illustration of Heart and Spade moments before a dance. Spade reaches out towards Heart's waist while Heart drapes one hand on Spade's shoulder. They maintain eye contact and fond smiles, never needing to look down at where their hands or feet are going.

#Yeehawgust Day 5: Boot Scootin' Boogie (Part 1)

Got two drawings for this prompt because Heart and Spade love to dance! Any excuse to get their hands on each other, really, haha. So here's part 1! :3

#oc #ocart #ocsky #cowboy #outlaw #illustration #art
An illustration featuring Heart and Spade dancing. Spade takes a moment to dip Heart in the middle of their dance. Using the hand that's not holding Spade's, Heart reaches up to keep his hat from tumbling off his head. (And yes, that's Spade's hat on Heart's head :3)

#Yeehawgust Day 1: Stars of the Midnight Range

I'm very late to the game, but I had to throw my hat into the ring!! (with more to come...) #oc #ocart #ocsky #cowboy #illustration
An illustration featuring Heart and Spade, two cowboy ocs. Heart is resting on Spade's chest. One of his hands gently brushes against Spade's chin as he looks at his partner with fond eyes and a bright smile. Spade reciprocates the fond look with a smile of his own. One of his hands is holding Heart's arm, while the other teases Heart's hair at the back of his head. The piece is bathed in warm tones. Stars twinkle above them both on an abstract background.

pssst here are some bonus sketches featuring Dante (drow, they/he) and Falxir (dragonborn, she/her)!!

#ocsky #dndart #dnd #sketch #doodle #dragonborn #drow #darkelf #digitalart #queerplatonic
A sketch featuring Dante and Falxir. Dante sits on an unseen surface, throwing their head back in laughter as they cradle Falxir's face. Their face is flushed from alcohol. Falxir has her arms wrapped around them, smiling into their embrace. Her face is equally flushed. Dante leading Falxir in a dance. Falxir and Dante curled up while resting. Dante is the little spoon and Falxir is the big spoon. Dante sits on an unseen surface while Falxir is kneeling in front of him. He has one hand resting on her cheek as they look at her, a small smile on their face, contemplating her. Her eyes are shut as she allows them to examine her. She's blushing.

An illustration featuring Dante (they/he, drow) and Falxir (she/her, dragonborn). Dante sits in Falxir's lap with his back to her chest. She rests her chin on their shoulder and has her arms wrapped around their waist, enveloping them in a gentle hug. Dante, in turn, delicately rests their palm on one of her cheeks, holding her head. Both of them look content. Dante is my oc! And Falxir belongs to my friend Zest. Their ship name is Misery Loves Company :)

An attack on Fire Starter for @magpiespy.bsky.social !! This was SO much fun to work on! <3 🧡💚

#artfight #artfight2025 #dndart #dnd #ocsky #tiefling #druid #teamcrystals #illustration
A digital illustration of Fire Starter (he/him), an orange tiefling, and his animal companion, Hazel, a field mouse made of flame. Fire Starter looks up at Hazel as she floats overhead, her flaming tail curling around him. Fire Starter's poncho and scarf blow behind him as though ruffled by the wind, and he tugs on his scarf to pull it down from his chin. The scene is set in a birch forest at night, with only Hazel's fire to give them light.

One last post for the night! An illustration I made for Spade and Heart, my friend and I's doomed cowboy lovers! #cowboy #queer #oc #ocsky #ocart

♠️♥️ The boy I love is a body / And bodies die. 🥀♠️
An illustration featuring Heart and Spade. Part 1. Heart, a blond-haired white man with a moustache, is straddling Spade, looking down at him with a playful grin and half-lidded eyes. He rests one hand on Spade's stomach to balance himself while he leans back. Spade, a dark-haired, medium-toned man with facial hair and a ponytail, has his hands placed on Heart's thighs to hold him steady. He looks up at Heart with fond, intent eyes. Both men are shirtless. The writing on this piece reads: "The boy I love is a body." An illustration featuring Heart and Spade, which is the same as the first image, with some alterations. Part 2. The piece's colors are much darker, and instead of a cream-toned background, now there is a red one. "Heart" is still straddling Spade with the same playful grin, but his eyes are a piercing, glowing neon blue. There is blood splatter across the canvas, coming from just behind his head. Spade's smile has fallen, and his eyes have gained an eerie blue glow emanating from his pupils. The scene feels much more tense, losing that playful, fond feeling from the first version. The writing on this piece reads: "And bodies die."
