darkrai and cresselia gijinkas (2022)
#oc #artsky #pokemon
references for two original characters, rai (she/they), and lia (he/they) based off of the pokemon darkrai and cresselia. rai is a short, pale, and stocky woman dressed in a tattered, patchwork dress at mid-thigh length of varying shades of black, grey, and white, with a red collar that covers her mouth. her hair is long, messy, and back, divided into two sections in a zig-zag wave pattern, with a large white bang that covers her left eye. she is wearing a witches hat with a jagged red brim and white top that disappears into a smoke, stitched closed at what is a "mouth" design on the front. she has long, pointed straight ears, thin black horns that have a staggered bend, and cyan blue eyes with dark undereyes. lia is a slender, tan-skinned man dressed in persian + iranian inspired fashion. a long, translucent pink sash is tied around his waist and wraps around his shoulders and arms. his sleeves are striped blue and gold, and a pattern of the moon's phases stretches around the hem of his coat's body. his hair is a light pink, long ears slightly curved upwards, with golden horns of a similar curve. he has freckles and blue, triangular markings travelling from his jawline to mid-undereye. he has a lunar wing earring on his left ear and wears a gold/yellow headdress with tails that emerge on either side of his head. same characters described in the previous reference picture, this time floating in a cosmic scene; the background is a slate hue with scattered scars with both a full and eclipsed moon in the topmost right corner and bottommost left corner, respectively. in the drawing, lia is placing a hand against his heart and reaching out the other toward rai. rai has a more empty, bored look while lia smiles at her compassionately.

drawing centering around an original character, souta (he/him), design inspired by the pokemon drifblim. to the right of of the drawing, different forms/designs he has taken up fade until obscured, in sequential order the further into the past the form was taken, including: a form that just has a different haircut (pulled back into a bun), masked, him as a drifloon, and as a human. as a human, he is pictured facing a wingull, whose face is obscured. to the left of the drawing centers around his present relations, including: mesprit (a guide/superior/friend), and three of his closest teammates; silas (he/him, staraptor), viola (she/they, roserade), and lucille (she/her, empoleon). there is a motion blur that makes visual elements further away from his 'present' design appear out of focus. characters belong to a nuzlocke comic i post on tumblr.

reinterpretations of two ocs, rin (she/her), and yuki (he/him) as a small navy blue and teal bat and a humanoid sunflower monster. yuki is dressed in a blue coat with raindrop decals while rin is wearing dark green overalls with sunflower seed buttons, hair petals pulled back into a ponytail. she is also wearing sunflower seeds as earrings rin is covering yuki's mouth to prevent him from saying anything stupid, asking a third person if he is bothering them while he tries to choke out some sort of phrase. especially before they met and in the early stages of knowing eachother he had very little filter and consideration for others rin is bonking yuki's nose with her leaf "hand" while he screams loudly. he is not used to affection or genuine human connection or people that like him

the fool #art #oc #pokemon
rin (she/her), an oc inspired by the pokemon sunflora, dressed as a sad jester. while she is normally an upbeat character, her nature in the game i used her in was "lonely", so i thought about reflecting that. she is seen rubbing her right eye with a frown on her face, with eye makeup mimicking tears and red around her mouth painted downward. she is holding a sunflower with several fallen petals. a cloud, presumably fake, is overhead with drops of rain hanging by hatch-style lines. her outfit consists of a collar split into large leaves, a tight-bodied long-sleeve shirt with puff sleeves & two buttons mimicking the center of a sunflower, and a skirt-like bottom of her shirt in a similar style to her collar. under the skirt is a light green pair of puffy shorts. she is wearing white lights with zig-zag yellow stripes. her jester hat has a brim surrounded by yellow petals.

my wolf/demon yuri #oc #art
digital drawing of my oc, lezabel (she/her), and taylor (she/her). lezabel is a demon (succubus) and taylor is a werewolf. they are both in their human forms in this piece. lezabel has her arms outstretched, jumping into taylor's arms for a hug while taylor wraps her arms around her shoulders. lezabel is smiling excitedly while taylor looks down at her with a look of affection. lezabel's aesthetics as a human lean toward a preppy, belle type figure, while taylor is a metalhead and heavily inspired by nu-metal fashion of the 90's, specifically groups like kittie. lezabel and taylor in their alternate, "true" forms. lezabel as a demon has long red hair and black skin, which lightens into white on the tip of her tail, horns, and flames that emerge from her shoulders. due to her father, who is a shapeshifter with electric properties, her "flames" are more static-y and conductive, rather than having the properties of pure fire. taylor is a large, blue-purple (indigo?) werewolf, standing much taller than lezabel, with ripped jeans and a mixture of yellow and orange accent colors in her fur, claws, nose, and eyes. lezabel looks up at her, a finger on her chin, with piqued interest, while taylor looks down at her, more annoyed. in the initial stages betwen them, taylor was skeptical and disliking of lezabel due to her popular, party-girl auras, and what she thought was a "fake" persona, but she eventually warms up to her. lezabel always pined, but maybe a little bit more superficially, at first.

embers of marigold #pokemon #oc #art
art of my two ocs, souta (he/him), a drifblim gijinka, and fyren (he/they), a skeledirge gijinka. both are ghosts, with souta being a conductor that leads souls into the spirit world, and fyren being a semi-popular singer in the spirit world. souta is turned, facing fyren, with his hand gripping his cape collar. they are connected by an almost-kiss, both appearing playful in expression. fyren's hand is gripping lightly on souta's sleeve. the two are surrounded by glowing marigolds originating from fyren's cape collar and hat, as well as several trails of cloud-like, cream-colored smoke. additional context: they are exes. fyren is someone souta met when he visited more often. they ended up separating due to souta's growing avoidance of the spirit world, and general immaturity when it came to relationships--not quite ready for fyren's more somber, introspective side when they weren't on stage performing, when all he wanted was to have fun.
