My half of an art trade for my friend @gresea.bsky.social !! :D Her Last Unicorn inspired character, Oni! A unicorn trapped in the wrong body after all the magic in the world disappeared.

#ocsky #unicorn #dnd #dndart #fantasy #illustration #arttrade #art
An illustration of a unicorn-like humanoid, curled in on themself, with their hand reaching up towards the sky. His eyebrows are furrowed and he stares off with simmering rage. He wears fancy green clothing with gold accents and a big fur collar. His hair is pulled back into a very long braid that curls around him. The piece is busy and chaotic, representing his feelings of being trapped and angry at his predicament. A glowing chain cascades from the top of the piece and twists around him. Blood drips from his outstretched hand and down the ornate, bramble-like frame of the piece. There's a gold halo with rays of light behind his head. The caption "this body is wrong" is printed at the bottom of the canvas.

My half of an art trade for my friend @corvitea.bsky.social !! Featuring their characters Myrias and Lunai. The sun and the moon, star-crossed lovers.

#ocsky #art #dnd #dndart #elves #elf #illustration #arttrade #sorcerer #king #fantasy
A half-body drawing of two elves, looking deeply into each other's eyes, with fond smiles, leaning in as though they could kiss. The king holds the sorceress's right hand while she gently caresses his face with her left. There is a pretty sunset scene behind them. Physical descriptions of the elves are as follows: The king is featured on the left. He has brown skin and long blond hair, styled into a bun and some braids. He is dressed in light, regal clothing, with gold accents and some gold jewelry. He also wears ornate, cultural face paint, accentuating the structure of his face. The sorceress is featured on the right. She has dark brown skin and long, dark locs that are twisted into the shape of horns on her head. She has many gold haircuffs scattered throughout her hair and wears dark clothing, with long black gloves. She has silver scales that dust her cheeks and her shoulders, and silver wings protruding from her back.

Just an oc drawover meme this time!! Featuring Spade, in his depression era 😭‼️ bro did not make it out of the codependent homoerotic friendship unscathed #doomedyaoi

#art #oc #ocsky #ocart #cowboy #doodle
A drawover of a Youtube thumbnail with the video title "being gay sucks." Featuring my cowboy oc Spade! He sits in a car with a deeply tired look on his face, holding a cigarette up to his lips. His hair is longer, more unkempt, and his facial hair has grown out. He has eyebags and there's a faraway, hollow look in his eyes as he stares out ahead. He wears dark, simple clothing. (The source of this thumbnail is user 'that zack' on Youtube!)

Been playing around with Spade's hair!! Thought some of these ended up really cute, so I will share with the masses... this is your sign to play dolls with your ocs SGHDJ

#oc #ocart #ocsky #cowboy
A variety of different hairstyles for my cowboy oc Spade! He eventually lets it grow out and get a little messier when he's in the deepest parts of his depression, so I wanted to play around with that a bit in some of these.

Another #secretsanta piece!! This one's for my buddy @ace-ugo.bsky.social featuring their kid, Zelle!! <33

#giftart #art #illustration #digitalart #oc #originalcharacter #sci-fi
An illustration of a man with long, wavy, red hair, tied up into a bun, with a braid cascading down. He bears a somber expression. On the half of his face that we can see, he has a geometric tattoo running down his skin, over his eye, and down his cheek to his jaw. He has one hand raised clutching a poppy delicately between his fingers. There are a couple of other poppies sprouted around him and in the air, hovering near his face. There is a halo of static noise behind his head, with the text "Forget Me" hidden within it. A red star falls off to the left-hand side of the piece. There are also some braid-like ropes draped over the right side of the piece.

My #secretsanta piece for @abstractkryptid.bsky.social featuring his slime warlock, Mathias :D !! Had a blast working on this gooey dude!

#giftart #art #illustration #digitalart #slime #warlock #dndoc #dnd
An illustration of Riley's oc, Mathias, a slime-themed warlock. In his left hand, he clutches a book near his chest that glows with green arcane light. He extends his right hand out towards the viewer, sending a swirl of colorful, glittery slime around the canvas. He looks at the viewer with a smile over the top of his glasses.

CAIN!!! My beloved rogue, my Barbie doll... <33
A close-up of Cain's face. Cain is a human rogue with fair skin, ginger hair, light facial hair, and a scatter of freckles dusting his nose and cheeks. His hair is shoulder-length and pulled into a half-up, half-down braided hairstyle, with plenty of loose strands. He has gauges and two helix piercings in his ears. Two full-body drawings of Cain, one fully rendered and the other is just a sketch. Both outfits are wildly out of character for Cain to be wearing (of his own volition) but hey, we have fun here. LMFAO In the fully rendered art, Cain is dressed in a crop top, harness, heeled boots, and a skirt with two large slits exposing both of his legs up to his thighs. He is posed like he's a model. In the sketch, Cain is dressed up in a long black dress and long gloves. The dress has cutouts on the hips. Cain is commenting on the outfit, stating "this... is excessive" as he glances down at himself. (sorry buddy, you look good though)

FEBRUARY 2026: Love in Bloom

My friends and I have been working on pieces for a calendar!! <3 Here's my illustration for the February spread (oh and psst, if you'd like this piece for yourself, check the replies!)

#art #illustration #dryad #fae #fairy #queer #digitalart #flowers
An illustration of a feminine dryad figure lounging against a tree in a flower-covered field. They rest propped up by their elbow, and in their free outstretched hand, they delicately hold an apple that has been pierced by an arrow, leaking a glowing ichor. Near the apple, three pink glowing fairies flitter. Flower petals billow from the flowers in the tree overhead.

Aaa tossing Dante (they/he) into here! Drow fathomless warlock and pirate captain, certified toxic bisexual rep SGSH

(I hope your night gets better!! Sorry to hear about the dinner not going well 😭)
A colored drawing of Dante with their long braid draped around their neck like a scarf. A colored drawing of Dante and their party member Zera, a dhampir cleric. He has a hand on her hip and is pulling her against him playfully, remarking “qué linda sonrisa~” A sketch of Dante in the style of a magazine cover. He is sat with his head tilted back, a bloodied dagger pointed at his sternum, and they’re licking blood from their lips. The title over their head reads VISCERA. And the caption printed below them reads: A kiss is the beginning of cannibalism. A sketch featuring Dante looking into a mirror with a steely gaze.

So excited to be able to show this off here but!! I commissioned my friend @gresea.bsky.social for some art of Spade & Heart in their element!! Give her all the love you can !!! >:D

#notmyart #commission #art #ocsky #oc #ocart #originalcharacter #cowboy #cowboyoc #gambler #illustration
Commissioned illustration from @greseadraws featuring two cowboy ocs Heart & Spade in their element (gambling). Both men sit at one end of a table in a darkened saloon backroom, lit only by lamplight. There are cards, drinks, and poker chips adorning the table. Both cowboys lean into each other conspiratorily with their cards fanned out in their hands, watching the viewer with devious grins.

I still have a few cowboy doodles on the back burner that I haven't shared,,, like these doodles of Spade with one of his other partners, Pike! (if ya didn't know, Spade's poly :3)

#art #oc #ocsky #ocart #queer #cowboys #sketch #doodle
A doodle of Pike and Spade resting in bed next to each other. Pike is on his side, looking at Spade with a fond look, gently brushing back some of his hair from his face. Spade rests on his back with his eyes shut, arms folded over his stomach. Another doodle of Pike and Spade. Pike is sitting behind Spade and has his arms wrapped around him. Spade has his face turned towards Pike over his shoulder. Both men have their eyes closed, looking a little sleepy, and are enjoying a moment of soft affection.

A friendship(?) in two images LMAO featuring Spade and Joel!!

#oc #ocsky #ocart #cowboy #outlaw #digitalart #sketch #wildwest #art #meme
A colored doodle featuring two cowboy ocs, Spade and Joel. Spade is a tall man with tanned skin and dark brown/black hair drawn back into a ponytail. Joel is a butch lesbian with greasy shoulder length black hair and brown skin. Joel is kneeling in front of Spade as though proposing to him, but instead of a ring- she’s presenting a middle finger to him with a smirk. Spade has his hands clasped over his face in feigned surprise, like he’s touched by the gesture. He could be welling up with tears. A monochrome sketch featuring two cowboy ocs, Spade and Joel… post wrestling match that Joel clearly won. Spade is sprawled out on the ground, with a flustered grimace on his face. He’s covered in dirt and bruises. Joel casually stands over Spade with one foot on his stomach, looking down at the poor fool she just finished whooping.

I'd be home with you, I'd be home with you. || Heart and Spade, back when everything was simple. Now it's just a memory.

#oc #ocart #ocsky #cowboy #queer #illustration #digitalart #art
An illustration featuring Heart and Spade. The two men are curled up with each other on a lush, grassy field. There are some leaves in the foreground, implying that they're being viewed through the branches of a tree overhead. Heart tucks his head into Spade's embrace. Both men wear carefree, content expressions on their faces. The same image as prev, but it's cropped closer to Heart and Spade and does not include the leaves in the foreground.

🃏 Tragedy comes in threes, third degree apathy 🚬 (A piece for Heart, Spade, and the demon possessing Heart.)

#oc #ocsky #cowboy #outlaw #demon #queer #illustration #digitalart #art
A redraw / illustration based on the Twelfth Night Kiss, featuring mine and a friend's cowboy characters! Spade stands at the center of the piece, flanked by two Hearts. His eyes are turned to the one on the left, who has his hand on Spade's shoulder and is leaning in to kiss him with a grin, shotgunning smoke in the process. Spade regards him with a conflicted expression-- His pupils glow with blue spctral light as he looks at this figure and knows that this is not really his Heart. This "Heart" is holding a smoking cigarette in one hand, and smoke swirls up unnaturally around both Hearts-- obscuring the right Heart's eyes, curling up around him like it wants to swallow him up. The Heart on the right (the real Heart) has his cheek leaning against Spade's shoulder, expression somber and yearning. He has a hand resting delicately on Spade's bicep. Through all of this, still desperate to not be forgotten, still desperate to get Spade's eyes back on him again. TLDR: This piece features the dynamics between these three characters: The House (the entity possessing Heart), Spade, and Heart.

A meme redraw featuring Heart, Spade, and The House (the entity possessing Heart). Heart and Spade are shirtless, leaning against each other with smiles as they both say, "I consent." Next to them is a shadowy version of Heart with an eerie glow in its eyes that says, "I don't!"
