The gang's all here!

I've been working on this group art for Caelan's party since December last year. Hopefully 2025 will be a good year for more character-driven art!

#art #oc #ocart #ocsky #mirrorsamuraiart

Art of a group of four fantasy adventurer OCs - the swordfighter Caelan, the mage Nerissa, the bard-archer Cypris and the knight Aladria. There is also a tiny fairy, Felice, who floats next to Caelan.

Caelan is at the far left of a grassy field, waving for the rest of his party to follow him. Nerissa excitedly runs to the front, while Cypris is walking slowly and Aladria has already stopped.

Carren has a twin brother, Roan and Senne are brothers, and Vincent and Mitch have only child status.

Nobody in Caelan's story has siblings as of now (except for Caelan's uncle, but his brother's dead). Though fun fact, Kyra was actually Caelan's sister in the original draft.

Does your OC have siblings?

So I've been wanting to make a casual outfit for Arondite for a while. Thought he'd appreciate it, since he spends most of his time in full armour and short shorts.
#art #ocart #ocsky #mirrorsamuraiart

Artwork of my OC Arondite, an elf man with teal hair and green eyes. He wears a simple outfit, consisting of a light purple shirt that is open at the chest, dark trousers and high boots.

Happy birthday to @gurepyon.bsky.social! Here's a himbo to celebrate!

I can't believe I haven't drawn fanart for your characters before. I freaking love your artstyle, it's downright iconic.
#art #angelbloodfanart #mirrorsamuraiart

Fanart of Minato's OC Gure, who has light brown hair tied in a ponytail, black and blue clothes, and an insanely long red headband. He's doing a cool anime peace-sign pose (inspired by an older piece from the artist).

It's come to my attention that I've never drawn Cypris without his hat. So yeah, here's what that looks like!

#art #oc #ocsky #mirrorsamuraiart

Artwork of my OC Cypris, an elf boy with green hair, freckles, and an outfit somewhere between an archer and a bard. While he usually wears a long white cap, he is instead holding it in his hands, leaving all of his hair visible.

October art from a year ago! I remember this being such a stretch of my skills at the time and being so proud of it

So last month in Artfight, I got two attacks of Caelan with poses inspired by Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia.

Felt like a great reference for a guy with twin swords, so I wanted to do a round of pose practice!

#art #sketch #oc #ocsky #mirrorsamuraiart

A board of sketches of my OC Caelan, a fantasy mercenary boy with twin swords. All of these poses were taken from art of Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia.

Don't mind Arondite, he's just stopping for a drink at the bar. If he gives you a judging stare it's to be expected.

#art #oc #ocsky #mirrorsamuraiart

Artwork of my OC Arondite, sitting down at a bar while drinking from a mug. This piece was shaded in a more painty style. (I also made Arondite a bit scruffier just for fun. The stubble isn't here to stay)

I can't believe I missed this when it first went up on Bluesky. Kai-coloured Nile is comedy gold and Nile-coloured Kai genuinely slaps.

I wanted an excuse to explore design conventions for Caelan's story, and thought I'd do it with three RPG classes that I haven't put in the story yet.

So yeah! Here's my take on a monk, a cleric and a thief!
#art #oc #ocsky #mirrorsamuraiart

Character designs of a group of three fantasy adventurers in their early teens, conceptualised for my fantasy RPG project.

On the left is a monk with green hair. He wears a martial arts uniform with a built-in hood, a headband and two tied belts.

In the centre is a cleric with light red hair, dressed in white and gold robes with a giant capelet and a bonnet with a long veil on the back.

On the right is a thief with short, spiky blue hair. He wears typical fantasy thief clothes with a long, ragged cape, and flashes a coin in one hand.

Fanart for Hag in White, a Fire Emblem fanhack by @saintrubenio.bsky.social! Haven't played it myself, but I've loved experiencing this game through a recent Let's Play. Might have to give it a try sometime.

#art #fireemblem #feromhacks #mirrorsamuraiart

Fanart of Kyra (left) and Apate (right), the main protagonists of the Fire Emblem fanhack Hag in White. Kyra is a bow-wielding huntress with short green hair, red armour and a notched eyebrow. Apate is the titular hag in white, an old woman dressed in white robes and carrying a staff. They are standing side-by-side, both with their weapons at the ready.

Inspired by Day 4 of #stormythoc_tober2025: Fave Duo!

It had to be Roan and Senne. The gravity brothers, the himbo and the nerd. I love them so much.

#art #oc #ocsky #oc_tober2025 #mirrorsamuraiart

Artwork of two OCs, Roan Macroson (left) and his little brother Senne (right), holding hands and looking at each other determined. Roan is a muscular young man (roughly 18) with lilac hair and a prosthetic hand, while Senne is a skinny pre-teen boy (12) with sandy blond hair and hearing aids. Both are wearing the same sci-fi uniform with angular pauldrons.

Inspired by Day 2 of #stormythoc_tober2025: Coffee Shop AU!

Thought this'd be fun to do with Casp and Fran. They're from a school-based story, stands to reason they'd have a part-time job in a cafe.

#art #oc #oc_tober2025 #mirrorsamuraiart

Art of two OCs, Caspian and Francesca, working at a coffee shop. Both are sixteen years old - Casp is the boy on the left, and Fran is the girl on the right. Casp is handing a coffee out with a wink, while Fran is writing down another customer's order on a notepad.

Inspired by Day 1 of #stormythoc_tober2025: Redesign an old OC!

Wanted to finally give a new design to Floren Larkspur! A character I've always wanted to give a redraw but never really did.

#art #oc #oc_tober2025 #mirrorsamuraiart

Artwork of an OC, Floren Larkspur. He is an elven man with reddish-brown hair and glasses. He wears a bare-shouldered, scholarly outfit that is primarily made of leaves, and is seen adjusting his glasses.

On the top left is Floren's old art (from 2022? I think?), which I included for a handy little comparison. Notably, he didn't have glasses back then.

Another version of Floren's new art, with an orange outfit instead of green. I made this as an experiment because I didn't want all of my Leaf Legion characters to be wearing green leaves. (also we're deep into autumn now so it fits in that regard)

We as artists need to uplift one another. Someone's work makes you smile whenever you see it? Tell them so! Your a fan of their style/use of colour/ designs? Let them know!! Artists (especially smaller one's), don't get told often enough that their art means something to someone else.

What happens to angels when heaven is infected with malware? They break. They crack. Their forms distort until the divine light within begins to leak forth.
But that doesn't mean this angel isn't trying her best to do good.
