Hannyween B(oo!). ‼️2025 JEAR OF JAINA‼️ @hanny-b-art.bsky.social · 5d

I’d love to join again!!
I’m Hanny, an OC artist! I draw mainly OC’s belonging to me or my friends!

Interests include:
-Female/femme presenting OC’s
-Humanoid OC’s

Can’t wait to participate!! 🧡🧡

A full-body digital drawing of @drizzledaydream.bsky.social’s OC Mezo. She is a pale, redheaded woman with brown eyes and long curly hair. She is wearing a long dark green dress with a cream colored inner lining, brown lace-up boots, a brown corset with a long sleeved cream colored shirt underneath, and a green hooded scarf with circular golden clasps. Attached to the scarf is a golden leaf shaped medallion on a small chain, with a red gem in the center. She has a golden leaf hairpin as well, and she is holding a small basket in her left hand, carrying some sort of cream colored fabric. Mezo is standing on a green hilly backdrop with a large tree to her right, which she is holding onto with her right hand, as if she just appeared from around the tree. She is smiling with an open mouth, very happy to see the viewer. There is a cluster of trees behind her in the background, as well as some white clouds in the light blue sky. The setting takes place in Autumn, as the trees all have orange leaves, and Mezo has a slight blush on her cheeks, nose, and knuckles to give the feeling of a cold Autumn day.

A fullbody drawing of @stoatallybored.bsky.social’s OC Heather the Witch. She is a 13 year old beginner witch, with pale skin and freckles, blue eyes, and dark blue hair in a bob cut. She is wearing a sky blue hoodie, grey leggings, and little black boots, along with a black witch’s hat with a lavender ribbon tied in a bow. She is sitting on a small brown broom, with another ribbon of the same color and a letter H carved into the handle. She’s holding on with both hands at either side and her legs dangling down, as she faces to her right and looks at the camera with an open mouth smile. She is on a dark blue night sky background with a subtle gradient, and a white glowing crescent moon in the top right surrounded by little stars. Underneath her are what could be a cluster of clouds, or a patch of fog rolling in as she might not actually be that high up. Surrounding the piece is a sky blue border with an inner white stripe, and a little design of her witch hat in the bottom center.

A full-body drawing of my Star Wars OC Jaina Ryder wearing a maid dress. She is a pale skinned woman with short cut hair in a side shave style, blue eyes, freckles, and a slit in her left eyebrow. She is wearing a short sleeve maid dress with a short skirt and a white apron, with two black bows on the waistline. She has thigh-high white socks with little black bows at the top, and black dolly shoes with silver buckles. She also has white cuffs on her wrists, and a ruffly headpiece on her head. She is standing on one foot with her other leg bent up, and her arms out out to the sides at an angle. Her head is slightly tilted up and facing screen left, while she looks at the camera with a smile. She is on a simple blue background with a lighter blue border.

A fullbody drawing of my Star Wars OC Jaina Ryder wearing a swimsuit and sitting on the beach. She is a pale skinned woman with short curly black hair in a side shave style, freckles, blue eyes, and a slit in her left eyebrow. She is wearing a tight black one piece swimsuit with high-cut hips, a low back, and a four pointed star shaped window just underneath her breasts. The swimsuit also has a purple star design on the sides. She is in a sitting pose, sitting on her legs with her arms up and bent, right hand behind her head and left not. She’s smiling with teeth and looking at the camera while facing screen left. She’s sitting atop a purple towel with lighter purple trim and fringes, which is on a background consisting of a black sand beach with bluish-purple water washing ashore, creating a white foam at the shoreline. Further back are some grey mountains with white clouds, a closer white cloud in the left corner, and a pale violet sky bringing it all together. Surrounding the piece is a purple and white border with a single silver four pointed star in the bottom center.

A bust-up illustration of Matcha, Chel's (@assbread.bsky.social) witch oc. She wears a light green witch hat with a cream bow, and a cream long-sleeved blouse with a light green pinafore. She holds a white teacup and looks at the viewer with a soft smile. The background is a brown paper, with ripped pages of a book, the tag from a tea bag entitled "witch's brew," and pressed flowers - the leaves and flower from a tea plant, and some lavender.

a chibi illustration of tea's sona (teacoluoredink.bsky.social), surrounded by heart and star stickers and patterned washi tapes. tea's sona is made to look like a sticker on dotted journal paper.

an illustration of a pale woman with a dragon tail and horns, with white coral designs. her dress is pale blue and she is inspired by chinese water dragons.

An illustration of Mint Fantome in her new casual otaku outfit, holding a plush of her fan mascot, the wisps, and looking at the viewer with a wink.

🃏Woooooo I'll join again!! Here are my recent trades from here! 😄

A digital drawing of Assbread's OC, Rena! She's a little girl in a frog raincoat and orange wellies, playfully splashing in a puddle with her tongue sticking out. The background is some grass, clouds, and a raindrop pattern. Text reads: Rena!

A digital drawing of an angel character floating in a dark night sky background with some stars. She has pale skin, long navy hair that glows light blue on the inside, white wings, a white cloak, and a purple dress and boots. She also has a glowing halo. She has one arm outstretched, and one hand to her face with a thoughtful expression.

(Character is Estella Celia - an OC who belongs to Melodreams)

A digital drawing of a light brown anthropomorphic cat character wearing a frilly red dress, bow, and apron. She's winking with a huge smile and is standing on one leg, holding up a plate with two cups of coffee teetering on it. One cup is already in pieces on the floor surrounded by a puddle of coffee. Text reads: Baker!

(Character is Baker – an OC who belongs to @drizzledaydream.bsky.social)

A cartoony digital drawing of a young woman from the waist up. She's wearing a black vest with a green bomber jacket over the top, has freckles, and black hair in a side cut. She's smiling and winking while doing a peace sign with one hand. There's an angled strip of blue behind her with a space pattern, and the text "Jaina Ryder" at an angle above it.

(Character is Jaina Ryder – a Star Wars OC who belongs to @hanny-b-art.bsky.social)
