Finished this before pride month ended! Enjoy this little date between two queer fishes!
One's based on a clownfish, known for starting out male but turning female later on, while the other is a yellow clown goby, who can freely change genders over and over again!

Two fish-like figures sit at a cafe table. One is a black clownfish, the other is a yellow goby.

Been busy working on art for both art fight and pride, but take this new ref for my favorite himbo!
#oc #dndoc #elf #mimic

A reference sheet of a silver-haired, seemingly elven man, and his actual true form: a dark purple blob of goop, eyes, and teeth.

Despite being a mimic, Ósannur really just wants to fit in, most meat he eats is deli-meat and the occasional squirrel!

So I've been quite busy as of late, but finally found the energy and time to draw! Take my spooky fella actually being spooky for once!
#art #oc #ocart

Cecil, my goofy old man, actually being intimidating for once. His shadow isn't quite that anymore-

Been trying to shake off some rust from not drawing, take this bobbit worm demon! Thinking of the name Cupiditas for him!
#art #demonoc #bobbitworm

A horned gentleman/gentledemon, Cupiditas is based on bobbit worms, known both for their massive jaws and iridescence.

Yo, it's been awhile! Have a dragon! I'm thinking of naming him Stor Skovbrand!

A large red dragon adorned with small bits of jewelry. Stor's name is Danish for "Large Wildfire", but he is far more gentle than what his name suggests. He prefers hoarding books and soft fabrics over jewels and riches.

Finally finished his new human ref, as I was unhappy about how the original one turned out. I def need to refresh a lot of my character designs since they’re sort of outdated now!
#art #oc #eldritch

This dark haired individual works as a professor of anthropology at a local university, and is quite passionate about it! He does, however, seem to take interest in the occult as well, often studying the subject. This is for good reason though, there would be no students to teach if such things were allowed to run amok!

Been busy lately, but take these lil fantasy creatures!

An emerald-coloured dragon, the Toxabeak is an odd creature. Both venomous and poisonous, it has a secondary lymphatic system to pump its deadly toxin around its body. Due to having barely any natural predators, they are surprisingly docile!

A diminutive, (for it’s genus), gray dragon, Dusk Thiefwings sport quite the wingspan. They glide for miles, searching for prey and shiny objects to steal.

A large herbivorous reptile, Packbeasts are dependable companions! Native to savannas and grassy plains, they can go without water for quite awhile.

Thanks for the share!
My rogue Ósannur is atypical not in job, but in personality. He’s quite joyful and sweet, and is not one to brood often, unless one brings up his past. He’s a mimic attempting to blend in with society, not to feed, but to find somewhere he might belong.

This is currently the best image I have of him, I need to redo his reference sheet. He attempts to act suave like this a lot, but he always falls back to his true nature; goofy and not the most book-smart. Think James from pokemon-

Elves in my urban fantasy emote with their ears solely because of this guy, but his are more exaggerated. He’s not great at disguising his emotions, and if he has to lie he does it by omitting details. He’s far better at sneaking around and stealth than manipulating others, especially since the latter doesn’t sit right with him.

Here’s a snippet of his true form and goopyness from his old ref. As a mimic he’s pretty much a sentient blob of putty, capable of the classic shapeshifting expected of his kin. He, however, hates doing so, and actually now despises his true from due to how others have treated it. It’s also unfortunately how he got wrapped up into more shady dealings, he’s been blackmailed. He eventually does get help, and will eventually learn that he’s more than a monster; he’s an absolute adorable himbo.

I return from the pit to bring a new reference for my boy, as I am unhappy now with his current reference sheet. I’ll work on his human persona’s sheet next!
