Artist, nerd, pretty cool guy. Lover of stories and media in general; ask me about character analysis.

Strong feelings about AI, don't get that nonsense near me.

More sketches for project brainstorming stuff; I really do need to settle on a style eventually :')

Art hard

Haven't updated Auchnein/Faust's design since like... middle school? And I don't wanna draw this ever again :'D

#oc #ocart #art #ocsky
A human-shaped construct with green glowing accents breaking up the dull brown patina of most of his body. His arms end with skeletal claws, and feet are somewhere between human and reptilian. He wears an eyepatch over one eye and several draped cloths.

Trying to get myself drawin' again. One day I won't need to take so many breaks. I got stuff I wanna finish

#oc #ocart #art #sketch #ocsky
A grumpy-looking elf dude with scruffy hair wearing a pink collared shirt, glasses, and necklace, with the words "Am I not the picture of enthusiasm?" written next to his head.

Lens sucks :V The three characters that have been turned into marketable plushies belong to folks over at @bifrostterminaloct.com

#ocart #oc #art #sketch #ocsky
An automaton in a blue coat holds three small, plushie-like versions of three other characters up by strings, with the words, "A marionette should know something of puppetry, no?" at the top of the sketch.

I sort of exist again!

I tend to name online game characters Dantalian because harhar, it's funny to me, and one of them in particular stuck around and I should draw her more :V

#oc #ocsky #ocart #art #sketch
A grumpy-looking woman stares off to the side. She has red eyes with X-shaped white pupils, horns, and messy hair pulled into a long ponytail. She wears a coat with pronounced shoulderpads over a vest and button-up shirt.

Trying to vary the color palettes for some characters for my project I keep trying to work on. Bright side of them all being RPG PCs at some point means I've got a good grip on their personalities; downside is getting kinda same-ey, looks-wise :')

Today's a very garbage day in a string of garbage days, so comfort OC time, complete with his old, jarring color scheme. He's just happy to be here; I'm envious :I Oh, to have 7 int and 20 con.

#oc #ocart #art #ocsky
Flat color drawing of a humanoid character from the waist up. He has bug-like antennae and wings, and some robotic-looking elements at odds with his doughy face and excited expression.

I wanted to quickly doodle one of my freak-ass elves from the setting I've been fiddling around with, and it turned into definitely less-than-quick-doodle. (He's particularly weird, even by elf standards.)

#art #oc #ocart #ocsky #elf #butelvesarelikeraccooncats
A three-eyed elf, with yellow irises and cat-like pupils; the sclera of two eyes are black. He has red, messy hair, and a mildly concerning grin, showing sharp teeth, with a scar vertically crossing his mouth on his left side. He wears glasses, a red scarf, and a black jacket, though it's just a portrait, so his clothing isn't seen much.

I have renewed motivation to actually finish something, to the point I'm actually annoyed that my health's precarious :')

But no, there's some characters I love but hate drawing, and Tenriel is one; feels he's annoyed to be drawn, too

#oc #ocart #art #ocsky
A grumpy individual that looks like some sort of bug-demon-humanoid is resting his head on his hand, and his elbow is leaned against a table.

As a massive Final Fantasy dork and magenta being my favorite color (and flavor), team choice was immediate :'D

Fuckin' around with brushes behind a super quick sketch? Couldn't be me

#oc #ocsky #art #ocart #sketch
Sketch of a humanoid automaton in a long coat. His face is solid black other than a light blue grin. Behind him is a jet of fire, positioned like a shadow, and red glowing stars light the black background

I should probably draw my protagonist for my project more

Y'all ever have that like, weird feeling of a character becoming rote/taken for granted? It's funky

#oc #ocsky #ocart #art
A young woman in a red coat, with silvery hair tied into a very long ponytail. She wears orange glasses on the top of her head, and a turtleneck swear underneath a button-up vest. Her pants are the same black as her vest, and she's got knee-length boots on.

A screenshot from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, specifically the scene in which Charlie is rambling about Pepe Silvia in the mailroom, with 'Pepe Silvia' written over with 'WD Gaster' and Charlie drawn over with a cartoon-style person with dark hair in a black coat.

It's the funny cheese man

I don't do fanart often, but I picked up the Oblivion remaster, and I realized how much the Shivering Isles wound up influencing my taste in creative stuff. I've got ~4 different OCs that are just some variation of Sheogorath/Jyggalag on complete accident.

[Bring us back stories from outside.]

This time I had Moonlit Night from Death Parade on loop. Still mostly practicing and actually remembering that digital art means different tools than physical stuff. Also brainstorming and processing feeeeelings.

#oc #art #ocart #ocsky
Two constructs, mirrored similar to classic playing card art. One is reaching out while grasping at his chest, and is surrounded by a ring of white fire. The fire trails down to connect to the tail of the other construct, who is also reaching out. Her back is facing the viewer, and her golden wings are fading into the night sky behind her.

[Wearing your heart on your sleeve is quite dangerous.]

Music is so powerful. I want to practice enough that I can get these feelings on paper. Also, people should go check out @bifrostterminaloct.com! They have everyone's auditions listed, and this guy I keep drawing is there :D

#oc #ocsky #art
A black backdrop with sketchy white lineart of a construct looking upwards towards the viewer. He casts a white shadow against the black backdrop, and has a hand over his external, red, gem-like heart. The red heart is the only color on the piece, and the words "...What did I forget?" are written next to the construct's head.

[If things hadn't gone so wrong]

Digging through old music, working on story stuff, put Flare (Homestuck, I'm old, eugh) on loop and had a feeling of nostalgia while my mind wandered and I messed around with some lighting. Like you want to cry, but it's just pressure.

#oc #ocart #ocsky #art
A white, humanoid construct, with a feminine figure, horns, and blank, black mask in front of a dark, starry background. It has golden, spread wings and a ribbon-like tail, and is emitting rainbow-colored light.

I think only a few people in the OCT I auditioned for follow me, so I can just slap all sorts of "spoiler" sketches without it ruining anything for later :'D Mostly.

But I should definitely draw more creechurs

A robot in a turtleneck and coat, sketched from a side angle; his neck is tilted down, and he has his right hand over his chest, with the words "What good is a heart?" written to the side
