It's sad resurrectees hours. What do you think they're listening to? (Victor belongs to roughly6500bees everywhere else. Also VERY mild blood warning)

#digitalart #ocart #artbsky

Thoryn and Victor Emile are laying on a bed in the dark. Their only source of light is a phone between them, playing No Surprises by Radiohead. Victor has a little bit of blood smeared on his hand from a nosebleed, and Thoryn's face is stained with tears. Victor's hair is freshly cut and choppy as shit.

Some recent attacks this season!! @micaman949.bsky.social (The other two aren't on bsky unforchies but they're for roughly6500bees on insta/tumblr and Gad1sar on tiktok respectively)

Turn up your brightness to see the shading! Mica's character, Apple, peeking her head around the corner of a dimly lit hall. She looks like a mostly dark silhouette with subtle shading, and her eyes/mouth are bright white.

A redraw of The Hanged Man tarot card with roughly6500bees' character, Jonathan Orne. He is in fish man form, with gills on his neck and chest as well as fins on his arms. He is hanging upside down by his ankle, with a picture of the ocean behind him. I took that picture myself, btw. This one was a lot of fun to draw.

Two fish guys, the one on the left being my character Seth, and the other being Gad1sar's character Jaime Able. They both have clipboards, and Seth is staring VERY intently at Jaime, with Jaime glaring back at him. Seth still hasn't fully adjusted to the concept of fish people, including tritons, being commonplace, so he's still a little curious.

So uh. Someday This Could All Be Yours Vol. I, amirite? (This song is SUCh a Reese song it's not even funny. If you're not squeamish I'd def recommend the album by The Paper Chase)

#digitalart #ocart

A man standing in front of an obscured, flaming background in full tactical armor. He's holding a rifle, and on the front, he's covered in blood spatters and smears. Beside him are the lyrics "I'm drawing a bloodbath with or without you" from the song The Forest Fire by The Paper Chase.

Hey. I heard you like dogboys. Behold my man. His name is Reese, he's a war criminal, and I want to throw him in a woodchipper. He's such an asshole agh. I love him. More art to come I swear.

#digitalart #ocart #thezonerpg #dogboy #bodyhorror

Halfshot of Reese, just to get his mutations down. He has one dog ear, one dog eye, long canines on one side, a dog nose, and a tail.

Ref sheet I did of him before he got all of his mutations. These are the iconic ones, though. (Also showing off his necklaces, one cross necklace that he keeps tucked into his shirt, and his dog tags which he keeps on display.)

Character on the right belongs to roughly6500bees. Unforchies he's not on bsky but whatevs. Her name is Desmond, and she was an expedition partner of Reese's. Don't worry about what happens to her she's fine.

Reese's tail is WAY too high up on his back, and it causes a lot of back problems for the guy. He has both a regular human coccyx and his dog tail. I'm sure his skeleton would look pretty funky.

(2/2)

Heron, the god of the sky/communication. E wears comfortable clothing, has short feathers for hair, and has the wings of a pigeon. E also has a sachel for es letters, which are addressed only to the recipient's first name/nickname. E can also transform into a carrier pigeon, in which form e can still talk.

Pavel, the god of disease and drugs. He's just a giant bacteria. I'm gonna be real. He wears gloves and a rusty red tunic with nasty green detailing, and he has an oxidized copper incense burner that he uses to infect people that could also take the form of a staff to heal people, but other than that, he's just a person-shaped bacterium. He even has the flagellum and the filli. His organelles are visible through his cell membrane, and his eyes float somewhat freely on his face.

A drawing of what some of the gods look like as mortals. I honestly just included this because I didn't have a drawing of Igni as a god, and I wanted to talk about her. She's the goddess of fire and chaos, and she's in love with Lumia, the goddess of light (not to be confused with Liora).
As a mortal, Pavel struggles with chronic migraines and is an alcoholic, since during his battle with Liora, she used alcohol to burn him.
Kalliste's earrings were torn out during their battle, so his ears are permanently bandaged up. He also has pretty awful tinnitus.
As a mortal, Cernok wears bandages over its eyes, because Liora gouged his out during their fight.
Finally, Igni was burned with holy fire before she became mortal, so she has burn scars all over her body. She also struggles to regulate her body temperature.

I just realized that I have been SLACKING w the uploads, gd. Anyways!! Gods masterpost! (I don't have a great name for this group of characters so I'm open to suggestions lmao)
#digitalart #ocart #characterdesign #worldbuilding (1/2)

Liora, the goddess of life, death, sin, and various other things. She has long white hair, black robes with red trim, and a red hood with white trim. Her halo is red, and can be commanded like a tool. Since her symbol is the diamond, her trim and halo have diamond motifs. She also has large black ram horns.

Cernok, the god of the wilderness. It has a mane made of leaves, leaves growing out of its skin, claws of sharpened wood, and a cross-shaped mouth on his face. Around the opening are markings that appear to be eyes, but are simply designs. The real eye is in the middle of the mouth, and it is said that looking him in the eye is enough to drive anyone to madness. In lieu of a halo, it has a pair of antlers that glow green. It wears haphazardly-made robes trimmed with leaves and tied in place with a red sash.

Orius, the god of war. They are covered in battle scars, with some on his face and arms, and one large one on his chest. Instead of hair, he has a helmet that has two sets of blades that look like horns. They wield a giant battle axe, and wear mostly just armor. He has satyr legs, though they're stocky enough to be horse or bull legs, one of which is wrapped in a bandage. They are also wearing a belt, which has his symbol (a battle axe) engraved in the center.

Kalliste, the god of the ocean and indulgence. He has teal hair and tentacles that grow from his face like a beard. He also has tentacles growing from his waist, as well as four arms. He wears greek-style robes, with a sheer gold capelet, as well as gold and pearl necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings. Several of his tentacles are also decorated with rings, each one representing a different disciple. In statues and paintings, he is often depicted nude, and he has four breasts (on account of having four arms). I unfortunately did not do him justice in these drawings, his tits are WAY bigger.

NEW OC JUST DROPPED!! I watched Assassins the musical and R&GAD o n c e and made this guy. His name is Jasper Williams. Or William Jaspers. He forgets which one.
(Explanation in the alt text)
#ocart #digitalart

A man with white, messy hair, golden eyes, broken glasses, and a fur-lined parka holding his hands up in surrender with a calm smile on his face. Crosshairs are overlaid on his forehead. On his jacket, there's a monarch butterfly patch.
He's a regular guy who ran a foul with a time god and has been cursed to be carted around to different events across different histories, never able to change what happens. He can only move onto another time or event if he is killed. Not if it's an accident, not if he kills himself, only if someone else takes his life. So, he gets rather comfortable with making enemies.

I promise I'm working on that valentine's swap post. In the meantime, Human!Thoryn's gods! Or, at least, their main gods. Liora takes the place of the lamb as the main god of death and life, and Necron takes Narinder's place as keeper of the underworld. Extra info in the alt text
#ocart

Two sketches. Liora on the left, a feminine-presenting humanoid with long,straight hair, horns, and a spiked halo. Her bangs cover most of her face, and her nose is large and sheeplike. Fun fact, she's wearing one of Lazelle's prototype robe designs! She's the goddess of life and death, and she was given her powers by Necron as a way of carrying on the mantel of the god of death after he retired to the afterlife.
Necron on the right. A large androgynous-presenting humanoid with skeletal arms, long, ragged hair, a decaying halo, and a veil.

Necron and Liora's relationship is much mofe mentor/student or father/child than the lamb and Narinder, as Necron acts also as kind of a mentor figure. He gives Liora advice and helps coach her through her work as a god, especially since he left the pantheon with more than a few enemies.

The death scenes from our most recent run of The Zone have been rattling around in my brain.

#horrorart #digitalart #anthro

An anthropomorphic hare slowly being ripped in half lengthwise. His right side has inky black corruption spreading down his arm and body from the inside, and his left side has glowing white corruption spreading acrosd his body and down his arm from the inside. He is holding a phone in his left hand.

Him, a black and blue squid creature, watching in horror as the arm of His previous host is eaten by piranhas. Off-screen, They reassure Him, "Mortals are quite fragile. Let's not get... Attached. :)" Shoutout to the Bees for that banger fuckin line

More art from the Zone!! This time featuring Him, a parasite thingy made originally to try and lead Thoryn astray who ended up taking pity on them, as well as Them, His creator!
#thezonerpg #ocart

On the left, a sketch of Thoryn talking to Him (a blackish ink blob with a singular blue eye attached to their arm).
On the right, a little shitpost comic. Thoryn stumbles across a body of water.
Him: "Thoryn-"
Thoryn: "NO."
Him: "You know what you must do."
Thoryn: "Not happening."
Him: "Return to the sea. Indulge."
Thoryn: "Shut up." (One must imagine Thoryn getting more and more flustered as this conversation continues)

My first interpretation of Them, a figure with only half a face, while the whole of it is obscured by a blinding white. They have a black smile that lays over the glow, they're wearing a tie, and they have a landline that they use to communicate.

Them, looking at Him: Why do you look like that?
Him, having taken a new physical form: New haircut?
Them: YOU DON'T HAVE HAIR.

Woah whoops haha where'd that come from that's craaaazyyyy

This sketch is a little bit older but whatever. Narilamb. They're both so posessive of each other they hate each other they're disaster gays. The lamb has Narinder by the shank, and Narinder has the lamb by the small of their back. Sloppy angry makeout with tongue. They are both enjoying it.
