so i recently drew a bust of my oc, kamille!

she's young (19) but is sort of church "royalty" if that makes sense? in universe her ancestor spearheaded one of the major religions, and she's set to take on an important position...

#art #oc #ocart
#ocsky #ocs #artsky
#practitioners #digitalart
a bust (chest up) of kamille (she/her). she has dark skin with light freckles, red eyes, and kinky dark blue hair that covers one of her eyes. she's wearing a light purple dress with puffy shoulders, and a black necklace with an emerald gem. the background is a pink gradient with texture, and a white oval cutout behind kamille.

WHOA congrats!!! awesome, you really deserve it! 😊

im adding leah! personality wise, they're definitely the mom friend. always worrying about others even when they shouldn't, always trying to help. a bit of a perfectionist but that's just their inner virgo 😁 generally a sweet, caring person :)
reference of leah (they/them). a plus sized person with dark skin, purple hair, and green eyes. their hair is in two pigtails. they're wearing two outfits in this reference, one is a pink long sleeved blouse with a light blue skirt. the other is a green top with a dark green skirt and brown waist belt.
