Still had more of my new kid in my system
Page of black and white sketches. Sketch 1: two men standing together in active wear—Saltir is in the back, he’s muscular with dark skin and curly black hair in a bun. Malke is in front, he’s chubbier with hair pulled back into a ponytail. Both men are heavily tattooed. Above them it reads: Rugby on weekends. Sketch 2: Malke, now with his hair down in his usual mullet, has his arm around a much taller man with long black hair and a tattooed neck. Above them it reads: Ex that got him playing, still friends and play together. Next to Malke it reads: friends with all his exes. Sketch 3: Headshot of a smiling Malke wearing his hammer necklace. Notes next to him read: was gunna design a neck tattoo but changed my mind. He was too cute to delete tho. Noted next to his hammer: Thor’s hammer from Kriss. Sketch 4: Malke smiling next to a black woman with her hair in curly pigtails, black make-up, an all black outfit and a backpack with wings and a labubu on it. Notes say: another ex, dated for 2 years. Sketch 5: A chibi of Aria clapping her hands. She says: I love his goth girlfriends, I always get a free friend. A note next to her reads: also stays friends with all his exes

Thinking about the important parts of character creation--what type of people they should kiss lol I landed on 'tall goth/alt hotties' for Malke which made me go 'he %100 had a crush on Davin and Kielana' and 'he+Rory absolutely dated and burnt each other out'

Adrian>@mundanemugful.bsky.social
Page of black and white sketches. 1: Malke and Adrian talking. Adrian looks nervous. Asks: So you and Rory dated? Malke responds: Huh? Oh yeah! Ages ago. 2: Chibi doodle of Adrian staring down a confused by smiling Malke. Arrows point to them both: Cute, short, soft boys. Adrian says: I see his type. We're just in different fonts. 3: Adrian is a bit more panicked now as Malke looks very confused. Adrian asks: Why'd you break up? Who broke up with who? Did he do something? Did you? Should I be aware of anything!? Malke says: Uh. 4: Malke turns towards Saltir who is a bit off in the distance with his twin. An arrow points and says bad memory next to Malke. Sal looks back at his friend as they have a black and forth. Malke: Sal! Why'd Rory and I break up? Saltir: Huh? Oh, he was annoying. Malke: oh yeah! Who did it? Saltir: You broke up with him. 5: Malke smiles warmly at Adrian who looks more nervous now. Adrian says: oh no. but he's usually annoying. what'd he do? while Malk reassures him: We just didn't vibe, mate! He's fine! Sketch of Adrian watching Malke and Rory have an energetic conversation. Adrian says: Oh. I get it. I'm exhausted watching him try to keep up. An arrow points to Rory that says: At 11. An arrow points at Malke that says: watching his energy. Beneath them it says: Still Friends.

Veilguard flavor. I like the spirit of the design even if he didn't look as grizzled or huge as I wanted.
Photo of a TV showing the Veilguard character creator. Burak is still a grey skinned qunari with black horns with metal casings. He now has a full beard and dreads pulled back into a bun. Screenshot of Burak looking out a window. Subtitle reads: I once called him by another name. Friend. Burak sitting at a table across from my elven Rook, Kiaan in Crow mage armor.

My big boy Burak 💚
Photo of a TV screen with the Inquisition character creator. Burak is a grey skinned qunari with green eyes, black cornrows and twisting black horns that are more metal than horn. Screenshot of Burak talking to Cullen. Burak is dressed in red rogue armor with gold and red vitaar on his face. Subtitles read: Wait here, Cullen. I'm going to have a word with the grand duchess. Solas Greatly Approves. Blackwall approves. Endgame screenshot of Burak holding his green glowing hand as he talks to Solas. He is in white rogue armor with red and gold vitaar on his face. Subtitles read: You don't have to destroy the world. I'll prove it to you. Endgame screenshot of Burak in his red nobility clothes, missing his left arm with Iron Bull standing next to him.

Some more doodles! Mostly Aria this time! She started off a bit more solid so she needed less base work but it's always fun to flesh out details!

idk why that little buddy chart popped into my head the way it did but 10/10 should do this for all OC friend groups
Sketch of four stylized busts organized into different groups to show different character dynamics. Set 1 is labeled Besties Core Group with all 4 friends. Aria, a tattooed woman in a tank top with a mullet and dark lipstick. Under her it reads: Calm+Sweet, In everyone's business [positive]. Kriss, a dark skinned man with dreads up in a large bun wearing a leather jacket with a full face of dark makeup. Under him it reads: Calm+Quiet, Will burn the world down if provoked. Saltir, a tan man with long curly hair in a military jacket. Under him it reads: Volatile gremlin. Angy. Loyal even when unreliable. Malke, a round faced man with a scruffy beard and mullet wearing a flannel shirt. Under him it reads: Cute Gremlin, golden Retriever, usually confused. Set 2: Aria and Kriss labeled The Baddies. The hottest in the room, they are judging you, a chill vibe. Set 3: Saltir and Malke labeled Zero Brain cells duo. Pub buddies, very fun+spontaneous, if you want Sal in a good mood and social, bring Malke. Also sincere emotional support since both lost family to Xoret. Set 4: Aria and Malke labeled practically siblings. Everyone thinks they're dating, the social duo, protective+loyal. Set 5: Kriss and Saltir labeled OG besties. Ride or die. Quiet+Antisocial or menaces to society, no in-between. Start and finish fights. Set 6: Aria and Saltir labeled Friends with benefits, Aria got over her crush just in time to start hooking up, gossip corner no matter how much Sal says he doesn't care, chatty tattoo sessions. Set 7: Kriss and Malke labeled Great Dane + chihuahua, actually kinda chill? No one believes they come together or thinks they're dating, balance each other out. Page of black and white sketches. Sketch 1: A young Aria in jeans in a tank top sitting and looking over her shoulder with a smile. Labeled: Aria Yvelle, 18. Came out shortly after the Xoret attacks. 2: Pre-transition Aria in uniform walking next to Malke, asks: Hey! I heard you're doing Beetlejuice for Halloween? Malke responds: Yeah! I'm not letting Pen win this one! 3: Aria looks a little embarrassed, asks: Can I be Lydia with you? Malke smiles and responds: Oh! Yeah! Go for it! 4: Pendra is dressed as Winfred from Hocus Pocus. She looks over at her brother dressed as Beetlejuice and laughs at him. She says: Thanks for proving me right!! Malke shouts: I didn't think this through! 5: Aria is dressed as Lydia, in the red outfit from the cartoon. She is smiling and blushing a touch. Pendra points at her and says: You look cute as hell tho! You better not date my stupid, gross brother. 6: Aria in her Lydia costume with her wig off, sitting with her eyes closed and a smile on her face as Kriss does her make-up. Kriss in wearing a tunic with sticks and flowers in the bun of their dreads. He is also smiling and very focused. 7: Aria stands with a backpack on and holds a pillow as she looks over at Malke, giving her a soft smile as he wears a beanie. Aria says: It feels weird to take Pen's room. Malke says: Don't. It'll do us some good to not have it empty. Text reads: 18, Kicked out by her parents. Taken in by Malke's family until she can afford her own place. Didn't want to stay on campus after Xoret. Next to Malke it reads: Left his dorm for about a year to keep his parents company while they're grieving. Sketch 8: Concert Buds. Kriss and Aria stand together, both made-up in cute outfits and surrounded by a crowd. Text reads: Team Stand in the back to not mess up fit/make. Malke and Sal are screaming chibis labeled: Team Pit Gremlins. Sketch 9: The four of them in a pub booth, drinking and laughing after the concert. Aria is labeled: Still crushing on Sal. Sketch 1, in color: Adult Aria and Malke. Aria is pale with a green mullet. She wears a top with mesh area to show off her cleavage. Malke is less pale with a brunette mullet and beard. He wears a Nile shirt. Both have tattoo sleeves. A red ballon on Malke has an arrow pointing at it: Tattoo for Penny (wise) Text above: 20s, underground resistance era. Text by Malke: Part of the welcome team for immigrated meta-humans. Stays off the portal grounds by happily helps at the safe house to help metas find a home and adjust to the realm. Basically an illegal punk version of his mom's job. Alchemist/artificer. Text by Aria: Everyone's tattoo artist! Stays out of the direct business of the underground by is always available if needed. Specializes in divination magic. Is rubbish at the future but great at detection and comprehension spells in tattoo form. More tattoos coming soon with an arrow pointing at her. 2: Aria is putting a stencil on Malke's arm but looks at her tattoos on his arm in horror: Can I please cover those up? Malke: No! They're historical!! Close up of the tattoos, a skull with a spider web and black stars, framed with her signature. Text: Made her frame her first tattoos and sign it. 3 and 4, same drawings: Aria and Saltir leaning against a railing. Aria: Can I admit something--I had a big crush on you when we were teens. Sal: Ew, why? You love wasting your time or something? We hung out with KEON! Have better taste. Hell, I have a twin who actually dates. Aria: Don't worry, I'm over you! I'm not gunna put gas in a car I can't drive. But there's a lot of things you can do in a parked car... Sal: Uh huh? 5: Sal getting tattooed by Aria as his younger brother watches: Sal: Any news or you wanna wait til you're done outlining? Aria: Depends. Do you need to cover Kira's ears 6: Aria, Malke and Kriss in flashy outfits. Text: Pride! 7: Bust of Aria looking cute. Arrow points to her key necklace: Key is her parents. Charmed to detect them so she can avoid them.
