Bats! This is a very self indulgent post for me and it’s an excuse to draw bats lol. Close ups and some facts below 👇
So some of these are based on vibes but there are some interesting reasons I chose some of these.
So Cazador is actually based on an extinct species of bat which is basically a massive vampire bat which are about 30% larger than a common vampire bat
Astarion is of course a common vampire bat . I couldn’t find much info on the existence of albino ones but I based him off the few images I could find
To add, Dalyria is from a species that has wings that appear pinkish due to lack of pigment, which is my personal theory for why she has that pink tone in her skin, she’s really pale
Leon being a fruit bad just made sense in my head (Maybe baby bat Victoria is under his wings lol)
Petras being a Pallid bat made sense because of course Pallid=Pale=Pale Petras
I love the idea of Aurelia being a little brown bat because I feel like I HC her as having a more diminutive and reserved personality and I feel that goes with little brown bats
Yousen is a species of Microbat which of course are some of the smaller bats in the world
I feel like Violet would be very proud of her long ears
based on a doodle i did in class. might come back and add a background but wabam. ryley robinson

is it normal to have 2 oc's that are just like alternate versions of eachother but they were both born from the same thing? like basically identical.
the best example of this (other than mine) that i can think of is beta Xiao and ingame Xiao and i remember before Xiao was called Atlus in game some fics called beta Xiao Atlus and he was a diiiiiick. Like still prettyboy but an asshole but the main reason im saying this is bc i cemented the lastname for one of my oc's recently and that really diferientiated him between his beta and his current.
Viktor Sweeney was the original and inspired by this cunty vampire i made in a picrew on a whim and went "shit hes actually really hot" so i give him a whole personality and hes a DICK which was the intention because ooo hot sexy vampire. Main difference (other than personality) is that og Viktor was the son of irish imigrants who came to the US in the early 1900's and was very 20's-30's styled. he also lived in the great lakes area which i cant explain why but it just feels right to place him there
and now hes Viktor Soulier (shoutout to my pookie wookie who came up w his lastname <333) and hes just. wet. like a sopping wet cat who got stuck in the shower and accepted their fate. He's also France and has an actual partner instead of just a random y/n situation?? and they have lore??? Cecil doesnt really have a beta version though so fuck them rn
but like is divergent evolution oc's a thing that happens to anybody else???
guys i’ve got to admit. i have no idea how in hell astarion’s hair works and it’s driving me insane
dwarf, talking about his wife: yeah she's great she's a miner isnt that awesome modern day human: What
imagine a vampire refusing to drink blood straight from the people faucet as it were because its the same thing as drinking milk straight from cow tiddies to them
the subnautica brainrot is getting me
i just realized there's gotta be some connection between me being obsessed with octonauts as a kid and now being obsessed with subnautica and my ideal career being doing fucked up cool mad scientist ocean stuff
