Tethys seasonal alts design musings! The yukata one ended up being my favorite, but I had fun with all of them.
Digital sketch of my oc Tethys, a tall curvy Black person with pointy ears, horns resembling those of a hartebeest, locs styled in an asymmetrical bobcut, moles under their eye and corner of their mouth, and 3 earrings on each ear. She stands with one hand raised so that you can see their nails, and the other relaxed by his side. There are 6 versions of them lined up wearing different outfits, all labeled with text. In order: Underclothes: They wear a sports bra, boxers, and glasses. Default outfit: They wear a dress shirt with the top few buttons undone and sleeves rolled up, choker with a rose pendant, straight legged, tie-side high waisted pants, a belt with a rose shaped buckle, a rose shaped pin cushion bracelet, and matching shoes. He has measuring tape slung over her shoulders, a simple glasses chain, and thimbles placed on the tips of their horns. Valentine's: He wears a midi dress with a bow cutout design, puffer jacket, leggings, and heels. She also has a hip chain belt with a heart motif, choker and garterbelt with a rose, bracelets with bow designs, a bow-and-chain horn accessory, different glasses chains and heart shaped stud earrings. They carry a rose shaped bag. To the left of the drawing is what the outfit looks like without the jacket. Yukata: She wears a loosely fitted split-color yukata with tie designs on the sleeves, an obi with a belt and bag attached to it, a rose pendant necklace, a rose-shaped accessory on their horn, the same glasses chain as in the default outfit, and sandals. Part of their hair is tied up in a low ponytail. Summer: He wears a wetsuit, swim shoes, fanny pack and bracelet. Swim goggles rest around her neck, and pool noodles cover their horns. She doesn't have any glasses in this outfit, and wears their hair in a similar fashion to the yukata alt. Halloween: She wears a scarecrow costume with overalls, a hat, and face makeup.

Every night, I dream of a butterfly.
Digital half-body painting of my oc Aria. She is a thin brown-skinned woman with long dark hair, eye bags, a mole under her left eye, and a butterfly shaped birthmark on her right shoulder. She wears a nightgown that loosely hangs off one shoulder. She sleeps while resting her head on a desk, only her shut eye visible of her face. Her hair splays down her back and over the table, with one strand going around but not covering her birthmark. On the desk are various papers, books, writing materials, and a framed photo with a blurry image. The window to the right of her is open, letting in some ambient light. An abstract silhouette of a butterfly floats towards the window above her, casting some light on Aria's sleeping form.

Been conceptualizing a grungy urban fantasy fighting game story in the back of my head for the past couple of months. Here's the protagonist, November, a failed psychic experiment turned mafia goon with a grudge against her boss
Sketch art of my oc, November. She is a Black woman with dark skin, a shaved head, a scar that goes around her head, a nose ring, and gauge earrings. She leans casually with her head tilted back, looking down at the viewer with an unimpressed expression. She holds a baseball bat in one hand, bracing against the ground with it. There are two versions of her outfit. On the left version, she wears a sleeveless button down with a neck tie, a tie clip with a butterfly design, zoot suit styled pants, belt, and belt chain, baseball bat gloves, and baseball cleats. On the right version, the outfit is the same with the addition of a zuit suit styled open jacket and a fedora. The same as the previous image, but without color.

Paging Dr. Ward - wait, what kind of hospital is this?!
Digital full-body illustration of my character Aria. She is a thin brown-skinned woman with long dark hair and a mole under her left eye. She poses coyly with her hands resting on her knees. She looks at the viewer with a slight smile, pursing her lips. She wears a playboy style bunny suit, along with long socks and gloves, an arm-band, sneakers, and a nurse-style hat with decorative rabbit ears. In the background are two people with embarrassed/bashful expressions. One looks away from Aria with a slight smile. The other looks directly at her, blushing and sweaty. They both have bandages with rabbit designs on their faces. The art has a frame bordering it, with a repeating pattern of rabbits, plus signs, and hearts decorating it.

Some GBF-style sticker emotes of Tethys. Attempting to get across the contrast between when she's chilling vs when they're Really enthused about something.
Chibi style drawing of my oc Tethys. She gives the viewer a thumbs up with a pleasant smiling expression. Text above their head reads "Seal of Approval." The background is a circle with lined art of flowers overlaid over it. Chibi style drawing of my oc Tethys. He hits a more emphatic thumbs-up with a delighted expression while projectile nose-bleeding. The text says "A Perfect Fit!!!" The background is a white heart over flowers.
