I made a service for these Simple Reference sheets with the people who need a good, clear view of their characters and have a low budget in mind. If you need a simple but clean ref, check these out!

My second outfit design commission for 2.0, as they really liked working with me on the first one! We went with a more jellyfish-esque design, as there were jellyfish-inspired outfits on its moodboard.

Highlighting the head/hair because I never drew hair sprawled out like this and I’m really proud of it 😭

#ocart #digitalpainting #originalcharacter
A banner featuring Joybilance’s sona. She lays down amongst a bed of draping curtains, dressed in a Hanbok fashioned similarly to her regular design. Surrounding her are lanterns with twisting frames and long tassels — but she examines closely a cracked lantern with a frayed tassel.

An outfit design commission for their OC, 2.0!
We discussed and combined lots of ideas, the moodboard they sent me was really inspiring! In the end, we came up with this cute sweater/skort combo.

About a couple of years ago I had a mini series/SKEB service where I inserted characters and OCs into my old personal project. It was a really fun design exercise and I'm thinking of bringing it back...

Here are some samples for anyone interested!

An outfit for every season!

Getting really into sketching outfits, so I gave Kishiko (@kishikobushido.bsky.social) a few fits.

Slowly getting everything for my new sona design together; this is my new PFP!
Note that all the flowers here are deliberately chosen.

#oc #originalcharacter #sona
A circular illustration of Joybilance's sona. She is depicted in a white and pale blue Hanbok Jeogori and a collared shirt, both with decorations akin to stained glass. Around her are Forget-Me-Nots, Chamomiles, and Vanilla flowers; she holds a few stalks of Lavender in both hands. Her eyes are closed in an almost peaceful expression.

Is it cheating to use your water powers in a pool party?

#ocsky #originacharacter #oc
A sketch page of Joybilance's OC, Six, utilizing his water powers in several different ways, including: - An umbrella - A projectile akin to a watergun - Healing burns and scrapes To the side is a roughly colored illustration of Six, hand raised as a huge surge of water circles around him. While the other sketches portray Six using his powers in non-serious ways, this depiction is much different and much more authoritative.

Happy birthday, Six!
Exactly a year ago I brought him back as my personal OC after about several years, and I've been going back to enjoying doing personal art ever since.

#ocsky #originalcharacter #ocart #digitalpainting #ocbirthday
A digital painting of Joybilance's OC, Six; a man in blue/black hair, gills on his neck, and a white coat. He seems to have just resurfaced from a swim, his face and hair still wet. He pulls back locks of hair from the side of his face, greeting the viewer with a smile. A version of the previous illustration with text overlaying it. "Good morning! Were you up to see the sunrise, as well? The waves were quite rough, so it took me a while to find a place to settle. I made it just as the sun came into view, though! ...It has been a year now, ever since I came to. A thought came to mind, as I was watching the sun come up; How much more will time give us throughout the course of another year? What exactly is out there that we don't know of? You don't have to answer that -- to be frank, no one is obligated to. That's the joy of being alive, after all: to live. To live means...to experience the moment -- the goods and the bads. To reap what you sow, endure storms, heal from grief, celebrate achievements... I hope this coming year will be filled with nothing but the best experiences for you. Whatever resolutions you vow to keep, whatever plans you have, I hope that you keep them near and dear to your heart. As for me... There is still much out there that I have yet to make sense of. She... is quite busy organizing things, as well. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to seeing everything continue to unfold. Until then...safe travels, and see you around!"

17. I never gave Six any outfits outside of his original, so I consider this his first alt outfit/costume! It's a jellyfish-inspired wetsuit.
I've yet to come up with any good composition ideas for a drawing of Six in this outfit.
