Follow-up to this #ocart
Far away, the other 2 spouses (Dankyung and Jangil) watch this go down on a couch. Dankyung, a human with her eyes closed, turns to her husband worriedly about her other spouses' shenanigans. "Should we do something?" she asks. Jangil, a floppy haired human next to her, scoffs and looks comfortable. "What? No! This is funny!" he calls out.

#ocart Jinhee is a huge proponent of exacting vengeance on politicians he dislikes
Comic. Jinhee, an older human man, addresses an unseen crowd by saying "I sincerely believe we need to bring back stoning politicians we dislike. This includes me." He manifests several stone bricks in his hand with his powerful transmutation ability, and comments, "I have bricks expressly prepared for this. If I do you wrong, please feel free to stone me to death." with a deathly serious expression. Jinhee motions to his left, where his wife (well known weaponsmith and menance archmage Myron) is standing. He states "as I am immune to bricks, though, I've brought my beautiful wife Jooyoung to demonstrate" while Myron waves and introduces herself as "Jooyoung, who enjoys killing her husband on TV". Myron manifests a comically large greatsword she has to hold in both hands, with a look of eager excitement on her face. Jinhee starts to sweat as he completes his sentence with a stutter to introduce the Greatsword of Golem-slaying expressly made out of his own clay, the only thing that can harm him. He ends by stating he's scary and horny to make misdemeanours with a sword like this at stake.

#ocart Can't use this as the banner of what I intend to use but here we go, more stooges
Digital artwork. Myron (tan half elf), Dankyung (blue haired, tan human), Jangil (black-haired human with green highlights) and Jinhee (grey-haired tan human) strike various poses. Each of them prominently display rings of the corresponding colors of their other 3 spouses.

#ocart To be loved is to be changed (?)

For better or for worse Dongmin's gotten exponentially weirder and that's fine
Dongmin, a human man (?) poses with a peace sign. His blue scarf is draped across his shoulders, and he has a purple fishbone earring along with a teal colored ring representing both his partners. He has a pair of pink tinted glasses on. Dongmin, now significantly more sharklike and monstrous with a grin full of sharp teeth. Notably, he's gotten a long black and white shark tail, on which his ventilator is strapped onto it and connected to his trach.

EDIT: people stepped in that helped out but this person definitely is blocked for some time because lol. lmao even at trying to be smart at me about not paying for it.

Under no fucking circumstances should you ever give Jowling Kowling Rowling any kind of W, fuck you
Meme redraw of an anthro tadpole (me) shouting, through gritted teeth: "Shut up about your personal nostalgia! Shut up about your feelings!" The wizard school IP taught me English - if I can divorce myself so can you!

Some casual comparison art of Dongmin now that he's let loose leaving his abusive family. Fun!
Digital art of Dongmin, a human man in small, tinted glasses. He has a scarf over his neck and is dressed formally with a toolbelt. Digital art of Dongmin, now visibly much more sharklike and dressed down. He's also started getting piercings for his ears, and seemingly less willing to roll over and admit defeat.

#ocart Local woman sadly cannot stop being a little shit
Myron, a half elf is sprawled comfortably on a spouse's (Jangil) lap. She quotes a Tumblr post from Knightlesscordelia: "Oh, you think it's "adorable" that I fell asleep on your lap? Well, it's a mark of my utter contempt. That's how little I fear you."

"To build something as beautiful and welcoming as Pungdo has become - that is my biggest achievement, yet also my biggest regret."

Finally made Sungwoong, first mayor of Pungdo, his ref!
Digital art. Sungwoong, an older man, sits comfortably in his wheelchair while holding his Clear Bell in his right hand. Above him sits the crest of Pungdo, the town he created as a utopia for the homeless to transition back into society.

Local half-elf remains ungovernable, nobody is surprised
Digital artwork. Jinhee, a human man, scolds his wife Myron, whose mouth is full of divine clay. She's happy at being given attention as he complains with the Reddit post discussing "how do I eliminate the desire to be loved".

Just casual musings about living and being in the present
Texts from Telegram by me: "I had a bad day and decided to get tomato soup" (Image of delicious tomato mala swimming in meats, leafy greens and mixed with noodles) "Can't kill myself when I have many seasons of Crime Scene and mala to enjoy" A better look at the delicious tomato broth (worth 9 dollars) with heaping servings of chicken, pork strips and crunchy heads of xiaobaicai.

#ocart Baby's first OC art (circa 2007-8) and the same OC 17 years later - Sukwon (Daniel) hasn't changed very much from his cannibalistic, murderous nature, he's just been transposed into my OC verse now
MS Paint artwork from a bygone era of a Dark Lugia OC with text "Somethings are better off not spoken of..." The same OC, Daniel, now in a polished CSP artwork brandishing his bloodstained arm blades with a confident smirk. Notably, his wings are now gone, and he has a piercing on his left faceplate.

Hey #portfolioday, I'm Tadpole (they) and I'm a writer and artist who decided that I can probably do both! Been published in Atelier Arcadia, DMsGuild and Lone Colossus Games, and here's to many more~

My portfolio and details: tadpoletalks.carrd.co
Digital image of a man staring at his phone, flanked by 2 chickens on his shoulders "He was kind once; then poor construction killed the family he had created, his wife and adopted children he'd saved from abusive homes and fought long custody cases to win, along with people he loved, neighbors and friends alike who paid the ultimate price for a publicity stunt The only person who's gotten the true full course of this is Jiyoon, his best friend of a decade and fellow victim - she knows he's holding back his everything from burning it all down, turning Daegu into a smoldering ruin and leaving for good, because he has to believe in people's capacity for kindness and justice, if he doesn't nobody can do it for him" Digital image of a woman caressing a dagger with a cheeky expression ""Are you sure," Yeonjae's voice was quiet, unlike her usual domineering self in the face of her daughter, "This is...I don't- I can't understand why you'd choose to do this now." The long-haired woman across her smiled, showing the dimples she'd inherited from her mother. "Umma, have you forgotten you taught me the strategies of business growing up?" chuckled Soojung, though there was a sadness in her eyes that struck Yeonjae as so similar to her father's, "We need to do this now. Renounce my inheritance for me, please." "They aren't owed an explanation of what happens behind our doors," Yeonjae couldn't help but leer, a flash of white-hot rage about her privacy never being hers, "I know you want to help me ease my load, but I just can't agree - as your umma, I can't put you in danger like this, hurling you into the maws of those sharks seeking to tear us to pieces--" "Let them," Soojung's tone had taken an abrupt, atypically dark tone, "I can't just-- I won't let them sit and tear us apart like they did before during appa's suicide. We can't keep letting these people win, but we can't let fear control us forever. Look where that's led us. I'm sick of it. Let me help you." "It'll be a stressful time for everyone involved," Yeonjae sagged, knowing that her daughter could rarely if ever be talked out of something she'd set her mind on, "I'll need you to be prepared for absolutely every possibility that may come up here." She ran a frustrated hand through her hair, staring off for a few moments before her stare fell upon her daughter once more. "Does your appa know," she asked, a sudden atypical calm taking her over. "Of course I asked him first," Soojung managed a pout, folding her arms and leaning back in the plush couch, "It's his favourite trick in the book after all.""

Druid and his chickens tend to get busy in any season outside of Winter, and sometimes you just gotta get moral support
Druid, a human farmer is browsing his phone for gofer requests while his chickens Grumpy and Frumpy ride his shoulders, staring at the glowing device he's holding. He's visibly muscular and dressed down, seemingly more absorbed in his phone than his pets.

#ocart Two more circles because these are so fun to draw
Dongmin, a stern looking human man in a scarf and pink glasses, holds up a sign that states "I am the watcher", indicating his awareness of being the target of the Reloaded. Kibum, a smiling man with brown hair, holds up a sign that scrawls "not a watcher! just here to hang out" in messy writing. His hands are mechanical prosthetics that glow blue.

#ocart #sdv More Druid art, because these are surprisingly fun

#ocart #sdv Drew a Druid because I was looking through people holding drinks and of course he would do this
Druid, a disfigured farmer, stares off to the side while holding a syringe draining wine through his PEG tube. He's dressed comfortably in a long sleeved coat over a red shirt, and has a visible trach tube on his neck.

#ocart Decided to finally do up the current roster of the Reloaded, my vigilante group who are here to cause problems and leave no crumbs
Digital artwork of Jin, an older bespectacled human man with red-highlighted hair. He smiles enigmatically, holding up a sign that says in all caps: "WHO WATCHES THE WATCHERS". Digital artwork of Jiyoon, a human woman in a green cap and long dyed brown hair. She's clearly pissed while also holding a sign that states "WHO WATCHES THE WATCHERS" in all caps. Digital artwork of Yujin, a younger human woman with a blue Polaroid camera hanging from a chain on her chest. She holds a sign that asks "WHO WATCHES THE WATCHERS" in all caps. Digital artwork of (well known lesbian girlfailure) Hyunyoung, a female metahuman with purple eyes. She holds up a sign that instead says "not a watcher but here for the ride?" as if asking the others a question.

Next to it is a glass of fruit tea.

#sdv #ocart I love drawing these two because it's so funny to have this confident-in-his-body farmer and his socially awkward transbian of a queerplatonic partner whose default reaction to many things is straight up "wtf that's not legal"
Digital drawing. Druid, a disfigured human man is offering his roommate Hyunyoung his T-shirt, showcasing his well-sculpted body and his PEG tube tucked into his pants. Hyunyoung is a purple-haired metahuman who seems startled by the motion, dropping the laundry basket in her arm when this occurs. A thought bubble, colored like the lesbian flag shows herself monologuing as she says "what gives" in a judgmental tone.
