NEVER STOP BEING OBSESSED WITH YOUR OCS 🫵

Starting off the new year going back to my roots with Mushroom Drawings!

First one is inspired by an Inkcap Mushroom, and the second is inspired by Pixie Parasols!

Quick concept/test doodles for a Wuthering Waves oc I've been thinking about ^^ They don't have a name and I don't know what their element is yet, but they're an Exile and if they were playable they'd be a healer. And uh...yeah. I don't. I don't know much more about them yet.

Part 2 of me using this meme for my ocs (Part 1 here).

Warning for my really, really old art from when I first stated drawing and also blood + cigarettes this time around!

It's Thorne Crow's turn!

So of the Death Omens characters I'd argue Thorne has gone through the most change. When I first made Thorne I was really into making agile, assassin like female characters. She was supposed to be quick and nimble rather than an absolute powerhouse who brute forces her way through every fight. I also loved suppeerrrr long hair back then. It was about a year or so after that original drawing that I decided to give her a change. I wanted Thorne to be more of a brawler type character, for her to have a tough/rebellious vibe, and for her to look like she's gone through some rough situations to get to where she is today. She got a broader/muscular build, her signature vest, more scars, and her hair got chopped short. And all her following updates/redesigns would follow that same trend (with small changes to color palette and hair length; her first redesign gave her essentially a pixie cut in comparison to her current wolf cut, for example.)

There has been a few things that've stayed the same however. The hunter brand on her arm, for example, has made some changes in appearance and location, but its always been there. She's also always had her dark hair, a cigarette on hand, and a knack for gathering a concerning number of injuries during a fight.

(Also her long hair has made a comeback before, in an au design!! Ironically she is an actual assassin in this au lol)

"She was standing inside the Secret Garden. It was the sweetest, most mysterious-looking place anyone could imagine." - Pages 96-97 of The Secret Garden.

Another Illustration for class! We were meant to select a scene from classical literature and illustrate it. I chose "The Secret Garden", specifically when Mary finds the garden!

I have a Problem with Fletcher Renn. And that problem is that the more I think about him, the more I like him.

......

Anyways. test drawing for how I might draw Fletcher.

Gave my oc Thorne Crow (she/her) a new reference <3 <3 the one with her vest has design notes and the one without has scar notes.

A quick introduction to her character: Thorne's role is that of a Hunter, a military-esque position made up of people raised to combat the monsters (and humans) that threaten the safety of civilians. She is stubborn and hotheaded, the type to rush in and get things done rather than sit and wait, but also the type to take a hit for someone else. She's tough, used to living simply, and is a lot more social than her demeanor might imply.

Fun Facts abt her: She does have magic (shadow magic), but because she wasn't ever properly trained to use it she can only do like. One thing. And she does that one thing very well but its only the one thing. She is very competitive and loves a good challenge. And she's very close to her brother, Ebony.

There is a protection sigil/rune on her vest. I've introduced this one before with prior ocs (Salem and Ebony), it basically reinforces the piece of clothing against physical and (certain) magical attacks!

Final part of the Old-ish oc references that I touched up rather than redrawing!

Rhessyne (she/they) is a half-fae witch who lives on a small farm just outside a rural town. She practices plant and healing magics, and sells potions and minor remedies on the side along with extra produce from her farm. However she would never think to take money or goods from someone suffering from a serious condition, and as such heals for free.

Residing on her farm with her is her partner, Avon (an ex-werewolf hunter turned werewolf trying to recover from his past), some chickens and goats, and on occasion various members of the Fae side of her family.

Fun Fact: Wood fae dress to match the season they were born in, hence why Rhessyne wears spring colors and florals!

Been editing and touching up some of my old OC references for my senior portfolio as opposed to re-drawing them. Mostly this includes fixing line art, adding proper clothing folds instead of the random ones I did bc I had NO IDEA what I was doing, fixing some anatomy stuff, and redoing some details here and there. And I figured I'd post the updated references cause why not 🤷‍♀️

As a quick introduction, this is my oc- the lovely Lady Salem Blair (she/her). Shadow witch, socialite and politician, smooth talker, magical prodigy, and lover of elegant things. She was quite a well known figure in political and well to do circles when she was alive, though that's not to say she was well liked by everyone.

Prolly the other two most important facts about her was that she did in fact do a lot of spying and sabotaging in her time, usually herself but sometimes with a little help. And that she was the mother of some of my other ocs, the Crow Triplets.

Quick run down of her runes (sigils)

Lock- Prevents anyone but the caster from opening or moving whatever the rune has been applied to.

Mute Sound- When activated, mutes sounds made by (or, within a certain radius, around) the wearer for a certain time frame. (thanks to @nicstylus for the suggestion with this one!)

Protection- Reinforces clothing against both (certain) magics and physical attacks.

Glamour- When activated, gives the wearer a shimmering flair. Not practical but very fun!

Disruption- Disrupts (low level) magical eavesdropping, locating, and otherwise spying attempts.

Shapeshifting- When applied to an object, allows a user to channel their magic into shapeshifting magic. Works best with masks or objects worn on the face.
