as simple as it sounds, they'd like to be cat! some would view them to be overly mischievous or impulsive animals, but Rhys particularly sees more into their curious natures and their desires to live by their own rules... very similar to how they feel! >:3 🐱

[3/3] when Rhys's powers manifest, her skin develops a peculiar "dark rot". as it intensifies, the veins glow and pulse beneath the surface. the effect can even reach her eyes, turning the sclera black and her pupils become luminous ^_^ ✨

[2/3] the Exalted do have powers, but they aren't defined by conventional laws of magic due of their anomalous nature. they can bend reality in unfathomable ways, making them exceptionally dangerous.

[1/3] okay, so basically Rhys is known in my story world as an "Exalted"! in this world, the Exalted refers to individuals who were transformed by residual energy left behind by cataclysms, known as Arbiters (:

1. rhys really likes steamed meat buns, especially the ones their father makes!! ^_^
2. in their established/canonical storyline, yes. her partner's name is juhwan, and they're also childhood friends. will talk more about him soon!
3. i'd say warm-earthy colors, like amber-yellow and muted green (:

#bweirdOCtober2025 - old OC 🐦‍⬛
When I decided to pick up drawing again 4-5 years ago, I made a pair of sibling OCs for the first time. Korvus appears to be the reliable, intelligent, and charismatic leader of the village, but it’s all just for appearances..
#art | #oc | #oc_korvus

Sketch and bust of an older OC, Korvus. He has long, straight black hair…purple eyes and a scar that runs down his right eye down past his lip. He wears an long, plum robe with an elaborate overcoat with raven feathers and eye motifs

#bweirdOCtober2025 - New OC 🦇🪡
Ion, my newly-made vampire OC! He’s still a work in progress and I’ve a few backstories made while creating him, so things are subject to change. I love him very much already tho u.u
#art | #oc | #oc_ion

Formerly Ion Croitoru, he has been under the care of the Auclair couple since he had been turned into a vampire by them some several centuries ago. He is a tall man who appears to be 30 years of age. He has long blonde hair in a ponytail with a long bang draped over his half-mask on the right side of his face. His black mask has gold details, notably a gold tear drop sewn onto the mask as well as an attached teardrop bead dangle. His mask hides some burn scars. He wears a white ruffles shirt with puffy sleeves and an emerald green brooch atop his ruffles. Over his shirt is a charcoal vest and tails with dark green lining and fitted black trousers.

"Using reference is cheating, Tracing photos is cheating...."
Some people are constantly competing with other artists, and it REALLY shows.
Do we need to remind you that this is NOT a competition? Everyone has its own struggles.
Just don't steal other people's art, claiming it's yours and we good

a halloween themed icon for mhin!

[ #touchstarvedgame | #fanart | #art | #halloween ]

a drawing of mhin from touchstarved, but their appearance is different. their white hair bleeds into black inky feathers on the bottom. they cover their face with their hands, their fingers are spread and it lets their eyes peek through. their eyes are a beady and visceral red, their hands are scaled and tough like the leather of bird legs. something black and inky drips down their face and onto their chest, but their chest too is a dark void, with the bones of their ribs and sternum poking out.

the moon glimmers behind them out of focus, making their hair glow a little bit.
