This #WerewolfWednesday, I decided to start working on a portrait for Feng, my ice magic Werewolf-Elf.

Slowly crawling through my #NovelEmber project... I highly doubt that I'll make it to the badge, but eh. At least I am making somewhat steady progress.

Now I just need to fight the urge to re-write and improve everything before I even finished the first draft. 😅

A line chart showing my writing progress over the past weeks. Between November 8 and November 25, the word count has increased from about 5.6k to 12k, with alternating phases of slow and fast growth.

I never thought much about random crushes, so there aren't many OCs to choose from.

That said, Ria is stuck with two idiots who are hoping to get through to her and heal whatever makes her push them away.
A digital painting showing three of my Werewolf-Elf OCs. Ria sits on the right, sharpening one of her daggers with a whetstone. Feng (left) and Lex (center) are sitting at a table next to her, dreamily gazing at her with hearts above their heads. Behind Ria, the pink background color fades into gray.

✨Artists! Please show:

♡ the first piece you did in 2025
♡ your favorite piece of the year
♡ your most popular piece
♡ your most recent piece

Hard to pick a favorite, but I'll go with my desktop wallpaper.
The griffin is still my most faved piece on DA, and Thakon is the most recent "proper" art.
A digital painting of a hooded figure with canine ears. Her face is mostly covered by a cloth mask and her white hair that has red accents. She is wearing light armor. This is Sona'Ria, a Wolfbrood assassin that was designed for me by @justalka.bsky.social in early 2023. A digital painting of my Werewolf-Elf OCs, all in their bestial form and running across a moonlit landscape. The artwork includes a quote from the song "Throne" by Bring Me The Horizon: "So you can throw me to the wolves / Tomorrow I will come back / Leader of the whole pack." A digital painting of a snow-themed griffin. Its bird half is based on an emperor penguin, and the cat half is based on a snow leopard. A digital painting of a Werewolf fighter with dark but graying fur. He is sitting on a rock and leaning on a two-handed sword with an annoyed expression. There is a scar over his right eye, and he is wearing brown pants along with a broad armor belt. This is Thakon Blackpelt, a former Wolfbrood knight who was designed for me by @justalka.bsky.social in early 2023.

I was browsing Pinterest for #OC memes and found the call to "normalize putting bows on your serious/scary OCs."

Enjoy.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Huh.
A meme titled "When the person you hate falls", showing a man who covers his mouth in shock. Next to him, a caption says "omg is the floor ok?"

Lace with a floral pattern, huh? I had no choice but to draw the stocking meme, too. 😆

"By the Eight, Lex - put some clothes on." - "I AM wearing clothes." - "Clothes that are not see-through." - "... Seeing something you like? 😉" - "I see something FLAMMABLE."

He's lying on his belly in a seductive pose, wearing lace stockings with a floral pattern and playfully tugging at the stocking with a thorn growing from his heel. His torso is covered in various leaves and blossoms, and his "hair" is made of red petals. His skin is green.

I've been meaning to make a "drinking tea" Discord sticker for quite a while. Having a proper reference for the hands definitely increased my motivation. 😄

Sitting down for #NovelEmber before the weekend is over. Got my @worldanvil.com mug full of tea, got my incense cone wolf fired up, got my pack ring in position. Let's see how far I get today.

Thank you for the art share!

Hi there, you can call me Kali. 👋

I'm an artist and worldbuilder, and I just wrapped up OC-tober with my pack of Werewolf-Elves. They have taken over my life during the past two years, so now I'm learning how to write novels because they want me to tell their story.
A digital drawing of my Werewolf-Elf OCs. The pack is gathered around a campfire, with two tents and various trees in the background. Feng and Ria are sitting on a log, and Ria is checking the blades on her cape while Feng looks at her with a smile. Lex stands next to the campfire, cooking food in a large pot. Thakon is sitting on a folding stool and carving a figurine from wood, while Areon is sitting cross-legged on the ground and is drawing the situation onto a page of his journal. A digital painting of a hooded figure with canine ears. Her face is mostly covered by a cloth mask and her white hair that has red accents. She is wearing light armor. This is Sona'Ria, a Wolfbrood assassin that was designed for me by @justalka.bsky.social in early 2023. A digital painting of an elf with mismatched eyes and bright-green ruptures in his skin. His grin shows pointy canines, and his sleeveless green top exposes fur-covered shoulders - both of which hint at the fact that he's half-Werewolf. This is Lex Herabur, a Wolfblood alchemist that was designed for me by @justalka.bsky.social in early 2023. A digital painting of a Werewolf fighter with dark but graying fur. He is sitting on a rock and leaning on a two-handed sword with an annoyed expression. There is a scar over his right eye, and he is wearing brown pants along with a broad armor belt. This is Thakon Blackpelt, a former Wolfbrood knight who was designed for me by @justalka.bsky.social in early 2023.

Returning to #OC-tober for the big finale!

"C'mon, boss... you can check your gear later. Just relax a bit." - "I would rather use the time now." - "Let me guess - you will eat in your tent again?" - "Yes." - "Hah. Good thing the stew still needs a while."

Somehow, after all those years, I managed to notably scratch my drawing tablet. Now it's marked with a sketchy little Lex seasoning the stew for the pack. 😅
A sketch for a group picture of Ria's pack, sitting in a camp and just relaxing together. Scratches on my drawing tablet that don't seem to go away... and they're clearly showing the sketch of Lex from the group picture.

Happy #AsexualAwarenessWeek!
🖤🐺🤍💜
The "global warming" meme comparing bisexuals and asexuals, redrawn with two of my Werewolf-Elf OCs. Ria is wondering why every gender is hot. Areon concludes that it's because of global warming.

Welp - my OC-tober challenge just sabotaged itself by motivating me to work on the actual novel rather than just showing the characters in slice-of-life doodles. 😅

Oh well. I might take care of the remaining prompts at a later time or maybe use a few of them for more complex artworks.

Artists, quote with long hair!

Getting back into #OC-tober with Feng.

"Gah! Shitshitshit!" - "What are you... SNOWFLAKE! STOP FEEDING AIR TO THE FIRE!" - "Then what should-" - "Pull the air away! Suffocate it. That's better. ... Sheesh. You don't even need my help to set yourself on fire. Good to know."

10th entry for #OC-tober, starring Lex and Ria.

"Whoa, hehe... Relax. It was mostly smoke and noise. None of the really dangerous stuff." - "I do not care. You will never do that again." - "But she-" - "NEVER. AGAIN. Do you understand?" - "Uh... yes. Yes, of course."

A little something for #GetToKnowMeTober2025.

Since I'm already spamming y'all with Ria's pack, here's a different #OC that's really precious to me.

The Stranger emerged from a random Blender test and insisted on becoming my artist companion. More of a familiar by now, I suppose. 😄
A 3D model of my OC, The Stranger. He is standing in a grassy landscape, showing a simple stone-like texture and being overgrown with plants. This is a render from 2023, based on an ancient Blender experiment from 2012. A 3D model of my OC, The Stranger. He is floating upside down while mimicking the rubbery appearance of a yellow balloon. A sign in the background displays information about the chemical element helium, like it would appear in the periodic table. Three handmade plushies of different sizes, depicting The Stranger and two of his younger siblings with the extremely creative names "Mini" and "Tiny." The glowing part of a lantern, depicting The Stranger in a style similar to stained glass. The lantern is made of thin colored paper behind a cardboard frame. Three small LED lamps provide the light.

Day 8 of #OC-tober, starring Areon.

"By the ancestors - what was that?" - "Probably payback for whatever Feng did to Lex yesterday." - "I'll check on-"
"DAMN IT, FLOWER BOY!!!"
"She's fine. You'd better go and check on HIM."

A digital drawing of Areon, one of my Werewolf-Elf OCs. He was just startled by an explosion while writing in his journal. The quill slipped across the page, leaving a trail of ink behind, and he accidentally knocked the inkwell off the table.
