#oort the truncheon

[what-the-flux]

Have what will likely be the last finished art of 2023, something blatantly thirsty to close out the year, lol. After 9+ years I'm finally at that point where I'm happy with how I draw Oort. Here's to another year of art and creativity in 2024!

Do you get asks

Not as much as I’d like, but I have gotten a few! They are super fun.

How did you get the idea for your URL

Geologist! With a minor in seismology.

Dream trip: Take me across the British Isles, and then let’s go relax in Seychelles, please?

Significant other: None at the moment. Unsure if I am looking again right now. I have strong feelings towards my friends, so I have lots of platonic love to give.

Nickname: I don’t have an irl nickname, but online people call me Plavi!

Gender: Female

Star Sign: Pisces!

Height: 5'6" or 170cm

Sexuality: Demi-heterosexual

Hogwarts houses: Honestly, I was never a big fan of Harry Potter so I took a quick quiz instead that would choose my house and the result is: Ravenclaw

Average hour of sleep: 6-8 hours

Why I made a Tumblr: Mostly to make an art blog and to share my art, but also I enjoy looking at other people’s content.

Followers: 388

Reasons for URL: I wanted to use one of my GW2 OC’s name. My main thief, Oprez, was already taken then (now it’s free, I took it, haha!), so I took my second character’s name Charoban and so it stayed.

#Personal rambles #I got tagged #about me

[what-the-flux]

I came to the realization the other night that my beloved main man Oort the Truncheon turns 10 years old today! I can scarcely believe he's been with me that long, and yet it feels like I've had him even longer. As silly as it sounds, he's been through a lot with me. I'm not just talking the incredible amounts of development and IC story he's had, but how he's grown alongside me. He's been an outlet of self-discovery for me in a lot of respects, even playing a part in me accepting my own gender identity years ago, an aspect of myself I had boxed away. He gave me the courage to challenge inner doubts, prejudices and fears of self-actualization. I can't understate how important he is to me these days. Oort was also the catalyst to get me to share more of my ideas in the fandom and became my default "face" here on the GW2 side of Tumblr and through him I met so many great people over the years!

Decided to change his colors back to his OG look with classic yellow hair magilev crystals to celebrate the occasion. Thank you all for those that have followed or supported me since the beginning and all the people that came afterwards in more recent years. I may not be the most talkative here sometimes, but the fact that this curmudgeonly Warmaster and myself are still here over 10 years later speaks volumes on how much of an impact my GW2 characters and the fandom has had on me.

No screenshots remain of him from the earliest years, so have one of the first arts I ever did of him, all the way back from 2015!

[what-the-flux]

Continuing the long-standing art tradition of “Oort casually leaning against his weapon while looking intense and intimidating.” As much as colors would be badass for this piece I am not sure I will color it so I’m calling this “done.” But who knows you might see it crop up again with colors added but no promises, my inks are good enough standalone and the linework is always my favorite aspect of my art anyway.
