LOCK THE FUCK IN MY BODACIOUS BROTHERS IN CHRIST IT'S WIZARD BOY AUTUMN!!!! #art #oc #originalcharacter #autodesksketchbook #funemployment #wizardposting #characterdesign #meow

A young, thin man sits in the center of the image, posing coquettishly with his wizard staff. His long, dark hair flows in the wind. The wizard staff drowns in barnacles. His eyes are wide and abysally dark, almost like those of a whale's.

Some character sketches for a story that's been brewing in my mind...obvs not finalized yet but I think i'm establishing a foundation for the aesthetic here #art #sketch #oc #characterdesign

A roughly middle aged sorcerer stands in the center of the image, wearing a cloak and mask that conceal his face. Despite the cloak, he is shirtless, revealing the giant fugly scar on his torso. He wears a skirt with a tasseled waistband, marking his experience in his craft.

A swagalicious butch lesbian wizard stares at you with reproach, scratching the back of her head. She has an athletic, rugged figure. Her breasts are completely exposed because this is a tropical setting. Her skirt has been burned considerably, blackening at the edges, and her waistband features only two tassels, signifying that she is an apprentice.

A waifish apprentice wizard poses with his staff, which is gnarled and bumpy. The bumps are supposed to be barnacles, but the artist was too fucking lazy to draw them. His hair is long, sleek, and dark, and a port wine stain splatters the right side of his face.

Oh em gee...a Colored Image?!??!?! By ME? Impossible! In all seriousness tho, this is just a color palette experiment I did a while ago. Ignore the fact that I can't draw feet to save my life 💜💜💜💜 #art #sketch #oc #rendering #autodesksketchbook #funemployment

A young, androgynous figure sits in the center of the image, staring hauntedly at you. Their long dark hair is blown by the wind. It has a slightly iridescent look to it, almost like crow feathers.

I should really draw more fashion-oriented stuff it's SO fun. Colored version coming soon.....at some point #art #lineart #OC #autodesk #sketchbook #meow

A slender young man poses zestily in the center of the image, almost as though balancing on something. He's wearing an oversized jacket swimming in sewed-on patches, and a rosary hangs off his neck—not out of genuine devotion to the Virgin Mary, but because he thinks it looks cool. He looks up at you with a bemused expression.

Still unemployed after half a year but I remain silly nonetheless <3333 #girlboss #art #digitalart #oc #interiordesign #bathroom #weirdcore

A dark-skinned young man struggles with what is presumably Eldritch Abomination Puberty in the bathtub, growing out several pairs of lapis-blue eyes on his arms and legs, which cry hot pink blood. Would it not be for the horrors, his bathroom would be a dreamlike paradise. The wall behind the subject is depicted with diamond black-and-white tiles, while the tub and other wall are decorated with basic-ass monochromatic square tiles. In the bottom left corner, a nondescript plant grows. The tub is overflowing. As the subject struggles, he grasps the wall in vain, and smudges his handprint in blood.

I am so fucking tired of this job market bro [BLASTS YOU WITH UNSOLICITED OC DRAWINGS] #art #oc #zentangle #drawing #autodesk

A dark-skinned young man stands near the center of the image, leaning on one leg. He's wearing a light blue tank top that hangs very loosely around the back, drawing attention to the scars over his shoulder blades. His nails are also painted blue to match. His pants are a nice shade of mustard yellow because he's an art hoe at heart, and the background is awash in various zentangle patterns.

SHE'S BEEN RENDEREDDDDD!! I tried for a more simplified style this time bc i have an idea for a webcomic that's in the works...on a completely different note I LOVE texturizing scars #art #sketch #oc

A muscular, shirtless young man sticks his middle finger out at someone outside the image. He has medium brown skin, with burn scars extending from the left side of his face to his left shoulder. His short hair is dark and unkempt. His right eye is lapis-blue with golden flecks, while his left is pearlescent in hue. He's wearing a pair of cerulean TRIPP NYC-style jeans, with strips of gromit-strewn fabric hanging between the belt loops through some D-rings. His conceal-carried pistol pokes out from its holster behind the waistband.

not to have a normal ego or anything, but I am, in fact, the CEO of artistic nudity. scared yet, liberals? #sketch #oc

A tall, muscular young man stands nude in the center of the image, holding a cursed as fuck amulet (with human remains on it) in his left hand and a book of arcane spells on the right. His left arm has a sleeve tattoo of a feathered serpent. His hair, extremely long and beautiful, swishes around him, obscuring his nether regions and creating a nice trail towards the bottom left corner of the image. His butt still manages to peek out with all that going on. His one visible nipple is pierced. End description.

HOLD THE LINE BITCHES IT'S GOTH BOY SUMMER 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #art #sketch #oc

A quirked up goth boy (goated with the sauce) leans uncertainly towards the camera. He's wearing a spiked choker, ripped fishet sleeves, and black tank top with the words "bite me" hand-painted in all caps. His pants, also black, are adorned with many hand-sewn band patches and embroidered motifs. On his left pocket is a skeleton hand flipping you odd. On the right, a spiderweb. His belt is decorated with myriad pyramid studs. End description.

the way I'm out here doodling the villain deku concept I had in freshman year of high school even though I haven't watched mha past season 2...a demon has taken over me, i fear. might make him an oc tbh

Pictured is an alternate-universe version of izuku midoriya, a blackpilled loser whose short greasy bottle-green hair is left unkempt. There is no light in his eyes. The bags under them can fit over a car. He wears a gray hoodie with white drawstrings, and he's looking distastefully up at something outside the bounds of this image (probably the sun, since he hasn't left his house in 3 months). End description.

Once again I don't have the wherewithal to fully render something, but I'm popping sketches out like crazy. here's a full-grown version of an oc I've had since I was like.. 14 #art #sketch #oc

A muscular, scruffy-haired young man stands in the middle of the image, gleefully flipping off someone in front of him who isn't depicted. He has a large burn scar covering the left side of his face, some of his chest, and his entire left shoulder. He is clad in only baggy DIYed tripp-style pants, with eyelet-strewn strips of fabric attached to the belt loops via D-rings. His conceal-carried pistol pokes out from the waistband.

Don't have the energy to post anything fully rendered so have a sketch this fine night ig #art

A swagalicious butch lesbian angel sits cross-legged on the floor, her one wing outstretched to the left. She has long shaggy hair that reaches past her knees, coarse unshaven body hair, and tiny sungasses sitting atop the bridge of her long nose. Her jorts, a staple from the 80s, have DIYed patches sewn onto them, and her nipple piercings poke through her halter top.

Once again, we have another product of my resounding unwillingness to draw clothes #art

A person with long silver hair, styled into several braids, leaps through the air. Their left knee is raised high, as though poised to kick, and both their hands are also raised, presumably to hold conjured fireballs or something because this drawing is incredibly unfinished. End description.

Experiment complete >u< i like the pastel-y, chalklike finish for the skin, but it takes longer to perfect than my normal rendering methods. Choices choices
