im looking back through your page bc i do rlly adore your art and i just wanted to mention how cool tamsin and namiko (i think those are their names!) are!!! im super curious abt them, so anything you'd wanna say abt them I'd love to hear!

Thank you!! I'm glad someone asked because I am always in the mood to infodump about my ocs. Fair warning, this may get long as I have a tendency to ramble when I'm passionate about something-

You were correct about their names. Namiko and Tamsin are both what I call "cave elves" which are essentially elves who have adapted over time to life in a dark environment, hence why they look like toothpaste incarnates. I intend to actually flesh out the species more later on as it's a little hard to explain when I don't know myself what the species consists of.

Namiko (she/her) is my main oc (hence the pfp) and I initially created her because my teacher assigned a character design projects for my art foundations class in 2022. This was my first drawing of her, actually:

Namiko doesn't have as much substance as other characters of mine but I do enjoy drawing her often because I imagine she has a very snarky personality and is a bit of a prank-fanatic. She's also the closest I have to a persona since I draw her so frequently, so she shares a couple traits of mine (and is most often featured in the obscure meme art I draw.) Small Namiko art dump:

Tamsin (she/xir) is more fleshed out than Namiko is. I created her on a whim because a friend of mine asked me what Namiko was and I found myself so tongue-tied that I decided to draw another character of her species in an attempt to find an answer. I made her 7 months after Namiko and she started out a little rough, and I removed eye number 7 later on.

Tamsin is basically a mom friend. Very considerate and often worries about her friends, albeit being a little basic (she would definitely frequent Starbucks, just look at her). She's got a lot of siblings so I envision xir to unintentionally baby her friends around or take time to explain things thoroughly like she would to a child. She definitely also advocates for being yourself, I can imagine her being reminiscent of a kind old woman who doesn't quite understand peoples' struggles but supports them nonetheless.

As for Namiko and Tamsin's relationship, I'd say they're probably more of the childhood friend type, kind of like a sisterly relationship. They tolerate one another, but they aren't super enthused to hang out as much since they grew apart as they got older. When they do hang out, most of their interactions include Tamsin being extremely anxious and reluctant because Namiko is about to do something stupid without any thought about the consequences. Tamsin art dump (the photo from this point on may be a little older, as I don't draw Tamsin as much):

You didn't ask, but these fools also have two more friends that make up their friend group, Harlow and Vesper.

Harlow (they/them) is often viewed by others as childish due to their whopping height of 4'9", but they are actually decently mature and well-mannered. They adore reptiles, and have a still-unnamed pet snake who means the world to them (despite the fact that Tamsin, their best friend, is a little hesitant to befriend their pet). I have been working on a little project regarding Harlow and a friend of theirs, but I shan't spoil it for now so here's a tiny Harlow-sized dump:

Vesper (she/they) is probably the least-drawn and also the least fleshed out of the group, even compared to Namiko. Speaking of Namiko, the two are best friends and share a love for getting on peoples' nerves. Vesper doesn't have much of a filter, though. Namiko is the type to TP your house for the funnies, Vesper is the type to place a thumbtack on your seat for the funnies.

Some dynamics and side details about the group are all written out in a discord channel so I'll copy paste them:

Vesper and Tamsin are the type to get in arguments. Not very intense arguments, just Tamsin pulling the "Hey, stop that" card whenever Vesper tries something stupid, which is a lot. Tamsin has a few younger siblings, so she has a bit of the mom-friend personality. She's a very sarcastic type when it comes to Vesper.

Vesper and Harlow are basically that "he asked for no pickles" meme. She sees Harlow as a bit of the baby of the group, which causes them a little frustration, but I feel they'd be pretty open to each other. I could see them ranting to one another.

I always imagined Vesper would have a very honest way of speaking. She'd blurt something out and be brutally honest, which doesn't always work to her favor. Also, she definitely put way too much effort into learning how to solve Rubix cubes. I can imagine her being a speed cuber in her free time, but she keeps it to herself mostly. Tamsin would act like the teacher that makes kids say bye to inanimate objects and it pisses everyone off.

Tamsin tries to make baked goods like a kind grandma but none of xir friends have the heart to tell xir that they taste like dirt. Tamsin is also constantly on the verge of rage and hates taking care of kids but puts on a front because little kids love xir for some reason.

That's all, and I'm so so sorry that this post is a behemoth. I went on a tangent and honestly I don't think I even described the characters well, but I'm super honored that you like my art and here's a little doodle to end this ask!

Today has been a Bad Day... please send some mx vids or pics, I need heart patching ASAP before I have a breakdown...

I visited some family today. The drive was stressful, even though I wasn’t the one driving. We get there and after a while a discovery channel show comes on, it was just about this vet office that treats exotic animals/pets and... any time a bird, a hamster, or a fish came up, someone would say “why would they spend so much on this treatment? they could just euthanize it and get another for less cost”, it took everything in me not to SCREAM at them!!! Animals have feelings!!! They want to live just as much as we want to!!! They feel pain and attachment like us!!!!

The entire time my social meter was on 0 and I just wanted to leave.

The drive home was even more stressful because it was nearing dark and people were driving extra dickish, (seriously!!! WHY cant you just stick to one lane!!! why do you need to be only a foot away from the car in front of you!!! WHY!!! DO!!! YOU!!! NEED!!! TO!!! CUT!!! IN!!! FRONT!!! OF!!! EVERYONE!!!)

Not to mention the stupid discourse over Taehyung letting his dog Yeontan lick his lips. Who the fuck cares???

I get home, first thing I see? a Loona fan being nasty about Monsta X, who also tried to make me feel bad for being white??? While I was trying to get her to realize she’s only bringing Loona down by acting the way she was??? Like sorry I can’t help being white, but you’re perfectly capable of changing your trashy attitude yet you don’t. (and then I lose a couple followers after sharing that experience)

I join a VC in Discord, idk how the conversation ended up there, but it ended up with someone who I thought I enjoyed being around saying he hates Mexicans. I told him that was racist and he ADMITTED to it being racist, but tried to diffuse the severity of his claim by saying “everyone’s a little racist”, tried to scramble up bullshit asking if I would procreate with a black man (probably assuming I’d say no, but my answer was yes, though I dont want to procreate at all), and then tried to label my fixation on Kpop idols as casual racism towards every other race... like?? what in the fucking shit???

And I’ve recently noticed the quality of my blog is... deteriorating. I haven’t posted many edits, god knows the last time I posted a moodboard. I’ve lost inspiration and ideas, I gain all these new followers but no one ever requests anything so I have no idea what to create. now im just word vomiting and have no idea how to end this rant

#morti's monologue #text #everything is just... shitty...
