Val time!!! Sorry about the delay, work has been pretty stressful lately!

Anyway, this was one of the first DND characters I made semi seriously. He is a tiefling warlock whose leg is made from stolen horse leg bones. The horse haunts and regularly harasses him lmao

#art #dnd #dndoc #tiefling

A drawing of a deep purple skinned man, he has two large dark purple horns on his forehead. He has long, slightly curled black hair- the forelock of which is falling into his face. His eyes are a pale golden yellow. He is wearing a white lace up shirt that has quite a deep neckline, pale beige trousers that cut off just above the knee, and black boots. His left leg is amputated just below the knee, the residual limb is covered in bandage that covers the metal rod that affixes his prosthetic to his body. He is resting on a dark wooden crutch, it is made of rather old, gnarled bark.

He was originally blue because he was an elf???? I don’t remember all of the original lore (I’ve made so much for this guy over the past 10 years lmao)

Quote w/ your very first art of your Oc vs the latest!

Damn, these are nearly 10 years apart! I don’t even think I have the sketchbook for the first drawing anymore.

Anyway, here is Tobias, my little freak lmao

A drawing of a young blue skinned man with purple hair. He has one green eye and one purple eye. He is stood with his left arm outstretched to the side. He is wearing a red jumper with a yellow bolo tie and pink button up, and a pair of grey shorts. He has a pair of black rimmed glasses. To the side, it says “shinigami slingby” which was my old Paigeeworld handle. It also says his name “Tobias Selby” but spelled incorrectly.

A white man who is stood facing to the right. He has blond curly hair almost covering his eyes- which are green (left) and purple (right). He is wearing a pastel pink jumper with hearts all over it- the phrase "I hope you die" in the centre. He is also wearing a purple pleated mini skirt and one pink thigh high. His left leg is an above the knee prosthetic in silver and grey. The background is a pastel purple diamond with swirl patterns. These are a slightly darker shade of purple.

Jasper had always been fascinated in violence in a sexual context, but also just for the artistry of it. He had had these feelings for many years but hadn't voiced them to anyone else. To his surprise, Elliott agreed. He wanted to practice escalating violence to see if something would kill him [6/6]

The character vs how I draw them

(Yeah, I may glam him up a little lmao)

A sprite of Korekiyo Shinguji from Danganronpa v3.

Five drawings of the character Korekiyo Shinguji from Danganronpa v3. In the first, he is wearing a red satin high neck shirt with a dark red cravat, a black buckled corset, and a long black mermaid tail skirt with lace detailing. The second is a chibi head drawing, next to this is the word “tiny.” The third is a neck up drawing of him in his canon outfit, but with his hair tied up in a high ponytail. The fourth is a small head sketch. The last is a full body drawing of him sat down with his left arm over his knees. He is wearing a pale blue button up shirt, black jeans with a matching belt, and black converse. Next to this drawing is the words “venting my frustration at work clothes.”

Just a silly Jasper to play around with some lighting!

This is from around the time he was studying for his Mortuary Science Certificate- this was when he began dressing the way he does now.

As a queer trafficking survivor AND former consensual sex worker, I’m pissed at Itchio’s anti-survivor, anti-queer, anti-sexwork policies.

So, for the next 2 weeks:

10% of profits from this queer art are going to ESWA: a nonprofit that fights policies just like this.

Happy 34th Anniversary to Final Fantasy IV.

The first Final Fantasy game I really enjoyed.

The combination of visuals, story, music, characters, gameplay was unmatched by other early SNES RPGs.

I project a lot onto both characters and I wanted to finally write and draw something that reflects that.

Also I may or may not have based my trans Hungary design on my boyfriend because I know how happy it makes him to see himself in certain characters.

So yeah, this piece is very dear to me :3

Oliver (Comms open) @ephemeraldarkness.bsky.social · Jul 16

Just to get a little sappy as is a headcanon close to my heart. Hetalia, especially Hungary and Austria, helped me come to terms with my own gender and sexuality. It was one of the first exposures I had to queer themes, both in fic and in canon. [1/2]

Just a little trans Hungary for the fanfic (well, part two) I wrote the other day.
