Hey guys!

🎉🎉🩵 It's my Birthday! 🩵🎉🎉

So it would mean a lot to me if you could share my art today! I love story telling and bright colors and I adore my OCs.

I hope you guys have a lovely day!

a picture of an OC, Sitriini Sinfonia, playing his violin. He is wearing a brown vest and a goldenrod button down shirt with 3/4 sleeves. He has on a red jasper pillar necklace and two rings on his hand. One is golden and red and the other is silver and blue. He has fair skin and citrine orange hair pulled up in a high ponytail with four ruby red crystal horns. He has deep grey wrist braces on each wrist. He is on a blue background with orange mist surrounding him at the bottom with music notes floating towards the back. His eyes are closed and he is smiling as he plays his violin

A picture of an OC, Aqua Sielu, playing his cello with a gradient blue background and sparkles and swirls around him. There is a music score in front of him swirling around him and his name "aqua sielu" written in the corner in the misterican alphabet

a picture of a sky with flat colors of aamunkoitto at the center looking up. valo floating up on the left side, sielu falling happily as he plays in the sky with revon hanging upside down closest to the screen looking back at them there are sun beams from the sun light in the upper left hand corner coming across the page

A comic page of two OCs, Sitriini Sinfonia and Aqua Sielu.

They both are wearing torn clothing and are covered in dirt and injuries.

Sinfonia is bleeding from the face and there is blood running from his mouth, nose and above his left eye on his forehead. He has long messy citrine orange hair and is wearing a tattered deep grey hooded cloak with a torn goldenrod dress shirt that has three-quarter sleeves. He has on grey dress pants that are torn on his right leg and dark grey fingerless gloves that are also torn and tattered. Sinfonia has 4 ruby red crystal horns on his head that are short.

He's laying unconscious in Sielu's arms as Sielu holds him close to his chest protectively. Sielu has long messy aqua blue hair with 3 tall green crystal horns, He's looking down as he cries and heavy rain pours over both of them. He's wearing a tattered deep brown hooded cloak and a tattered light blue dress shirt that the sleeves have mostly ripped off of. He has on dirty light brown dress pants.

The first frame is Sielu holding Sinfonia and Sielu is yelling "VOLTAIRE"

the second frame is a close up of Sinfonia's injured face and the 2nd is a close up of Sinfonia's injured arm. The 3rd is a close up of Sielu's face and he's saying "If he dies ... so do .. "

with a final frame of Sielu's eyes, glowing right aqua blue and furious. His pupils are glowing white slits like a cat's would be as he cries angry tears and screams "YOU" in bright red text.

Rick Sketch

And finally...Rick... whose eyes I don't know how to draw! So he came out unintentionally looking a bit semi-realistic. But whatever, lol, at least it gave me an excuse to go mad with brushes. Plus I need to experiment more with backgrounds anyway. 🥲

#art #fanart #kirby

Image (Art): This is a traditional sketch which I scanned, cleaned up a bit and added colour digitally to, featuring one of Kirby's animal friends Rick who is an hamster-type creature. As stated above, I wasn't entirely sure how to draw his eyes so he's come out looking a bit semi-realistic as a result, which when compared to the other two is hilarious to me. Anyway, seeing as this is a sketch I just sorta drew him standing in a field with grass and a couple of flowers. I also decided to go mad with brushes for this, so it has a very textured feel to it, since for some reason I just couldn't get the right colours for him on the multiply layers, so I got a bit bored and worked on the background instead. Still I'm happy with how this came out in the end. || Artist: yesbutterfly. (Tags added here for clarity of subject: art, fanart, sketch, rick, kirby, kirbysdreamland2)

The background is an art nouveau-style circular graphic of gold celestial motifs on a black to maroon gradient.

I felt like redesigning my battle witch tank. She also has a name now: Larkspur, and I wanted to incorporate the flower colors in her new look!

What do you think, did she need a redesign at all? 🪄

#art #oc #fantasy #witch

A digital illustration of a battle witch tank named Larkspur.
She is standing confidently with a hand on her hip and one leg crossed over the other.
Larkspur has short, dark hair and deep blue eyes. She is quite muscular and has several scars.
She is dressed reminiscent of a landsknecht.
She has a large hat with a feather, a wide pink sleeve on one arm and a decorated glove on the other.
Larkspur's pants are multicolored and textured, with her left shin and knee in a metal greave.
She has large boots with tusk-like decorations near the toes.

A digital illustration of a battle witch tank named Larkspur.
She is walking towards the viewer, one hand by her shoulder holding the strap attached to her sword sheathe, the other holding a magical targe.
She has her blonde hair tied up in a bun, and she has brilliant, blue eyes. She has multiple scars all over her body from years of tough battles..
Her sword is at least as tall as she is and is being carried from a strap on her shoulder. It has glowing blue jewels in the hilt and pommel.
Her targe has a similar glowing blue jewel at its center.
She is wearing tough leather leggings with metal armor covering her knees and shins. She has large boots with buckles and what look like tusks at the toes.
Her top looks ready to burst from her cumbersome bust.

I haven't been posting too many new art pieces, but I think it's high time I change that ✌️

The pyromancer has a name now! Lechenaultia, after a flower that comes in orange and blue colors, how fiery 🔥

The other witches call her 'Naultie for short, and you can, too 😉

#art #oc #fantasy #witch

A digital sketch of a battle witch pyromancer named Lechenaultia.
She holds her staff up in front of her while conjuring multiple orbs of fire that swirl around her.
Her hair is long and dark, and her large pointed ears have multiple piercings.
