After a while of silence, I can finally share what I was working on!

I've been wanting to do a "times of the day" piece like this for ages, always been very intimidated by the idea, but I'm glad I finally got the balls to do it. This was incredibly fun and has me craving more pieces where I experiment with color a little or put characters in real scenes.

Feels good I feel like I'm really proving I'm getting better at this whole art thing.

It occurs to me some of this is polished enough it could be its own post, but I feel weird doing that. So I'll refrain unless... for some reason someone asks????? Idk man if you like an image that much, I'd be flattered.

But yeah! I do a lot of misc doodles just drawing guys as other things, or drawing em as little creatures. It's easy and fun! And my autism brain loves loves loves assigning guys things then expressing that.

So here's an art comp of my best mspaint hits.

#my ocs #original character #monster oc #monster boy #dragon #horses #monster #light gore #recallback draws #laid out in lavender #nihil tornincasa #oren kawaguchi #lucero ardenti #raffail gallus #arion karst #shichiro kamiyashi #masaru yamada #kim eun-ji #some of these guys are getting a character tag for the first time congrats to the new crowd! #this is their official first public appearance! #theyll get more eventually. namely like masaru and shichiro #idk abt eun-ji i rlly like them but they kinda exist on the edges of my mind yknow? #dont have much to do with them #but yeah yknow as much as i get on myself for drawing in mspaint as just dumb doodles #these actually look pretty good im a decent artist in mspaint #they Could be their own posts and in the future i might do that #but for now. i dont rlly wanna. its a comp. u can ask for individual uploads #no one will but yknow

Day 15: Meme! We're finally back on some more prompts. I draw a lot of meme edits, so I had to really look through my collection to find something new to edit, and landed here.

Teen Luz and his friends really should have been more wary when everyone said the condemmed construction site the other side of town was haunted.

#oc tober #bweirdoctober #inktober #original character #creature design #recall draws #my ocs #laid out in lavender #lucero ardenti #how to draw baby luz's hair was a real battle i can never decide on anything except that it was black and short #he looks so so cute here tho #shame he got put thru the horrors #btw didnt realize this was where the do not read tag came from

Day 19: Inspiration! Wanted to do someone else or something else, but had really bad brain disease and wanted to bang out a super easy pic.

While the Shibuya gang take more cues from other places of inspiration, Lucero's jinx form was visually inspired by Chainsaw Man before I got into the series, so here's a Chainsaw Shark.

Bonus Oren and Pochita. He's not CSM inspired, I just wanted to draw a little guy and a danger puppy for fun :)

#oc tober #inktober #bweirdoctober #csm #blood #recall draws #my ocs #fandom posting #laid out in lavender #lucero ardenti #its both those things ok. crossover #but yeah i wanted to do some other stuff but bad brain didnt let me #both bc it didnt wanna draw and didnt wanna. draw this prompt #i just feel rlly embarrassed out right stating what inspired me to make guys the way they are #sometimes its fine bc its like well i was inspired by this thing i actually experienced or how i live my life #thats just how characters work but some more than others yknow like arion and oren have experiences - #- heavily based on my own life #but it feels like when u admit u were inspired by media its like admitting u Stole something or u ripped something off #it feels like admitting to something awful and being some kind of fake artist #feels like ppl arent gonna view them as their own thing anymore and again that u just stole something #thats not true obviously. if anyone ever tells u thats true theyre a wee fanny and u shouldnt listen to em #but its how i feel #so yeah u didnt need a vent in the tags i just feel bad and rlly ached over this prompt

I've been chipping away at this for a second now, so I'm hype to finally post it. You can think of it as a hypothetical cover page for something I've been working on - but it was a fun experiment either way.

Really enjoy doing these bigger ambitious pieces, feel like I'm getting a lot better at art and enjoying it more in doing so.

#original character #my ocs #original story #insects #animal death #recall draws #laid out in lavender #lucero ardenti #oren kawaguchi #masaru yamada #dazai kubo #tobi omukade #idk what else to tag lol #one of these days primrose path will probably get its own tag but thats only if i take the writing seriously #until such a time itll exist under the loil bracket bc its in the same universe #i have done some writing tho which was apparently a hit so ive been motivated to rlly hit the books again #im hoping it means i can finally chip away at the loil pilot #set up the blog and stuff yknow #and from then on i can chip away at both as they appeal to me #i prolly wouldnt post anything for primrose until i had a decent buffer of writing tho. like 4 chapters maybe

Day 31: Costumes! And with that.... we are done! I did every single day, and I feel super good about that. It was really fun. Definitely proud of myself.

Happy Halloween, brought to you by the Shibuya gang! Stay safe and have fun out there!

#oc tober #inktober #bweirdoctober #original character #halloween #csm #recall draws #my ocs #laid out in lavender #fandom posting #tobi omukade #dazai kubo #oren kawaguchi #lucero ardenti #masaru yamada #thats so many tags im sorry. lot to note #debated over what to do for a hot sec but happy with these choices #knew from the start luz was gonna be a cosplay bc its a bit of a nerd. csm and bleach are its fave mangas #i debated whether oren would match but i thought he seemed like hed wanna try something fun spooky fr #daze wants to look hot thats it. tobi is wearing what they wore to work that day that blood is real #masaru didnt wanna wear anything but luz gave him a rlly sad look and he caved

Day 29: Treat! Got mega distracted and almost forgot, but managed to keep the streak going. I'd have liked to do something better quality, but regardless, here's some OC themed novelty foods! As a treat <3

#oc tober #inktober #bweirdoctober #food #recall draws #my ocs #laid out in lavender #arion karst #lucero ardenti #raffail gallus #ive actually drawn guys as cookies before i should post that. bc i dont think i have #just bc it was cute #god i havent felt like i can draw right lately tho idk whats wrong with me #had to do it weird in class on monday once and now its weird forever

Day 9: Future!! I have no excuse for being late today, I just slept late and forgot to post >>;

I wanted to contrast the past piece, so here's a glimpse into Lucero's future. It contains a lot of those important, sweetly mundane moments with people who actually care for every part of him.

#bweirdoctober #oc tober #inktober #original character #creature design #cat #recall draws #my ocs #laid out in lavender #lucero ardenti #masaru yamada #oren kawaguchi #oren and his glowing kinda ruins the vibe i forgot he does that #cause i dont always draw it in since i usually draw in bw or draw him as the little axolotl #but at least i get to practice. drawing glowing? suuuure... yeah. #well its the palette challenge now and im not too jazzed abt that #ill do it bc im not a chump but i find them a degree of boring

Tobi's been cursed for over a decade, they've just accepted they're going to eat anything that can fit in one of their mouths.

#original character #my ocs #recall draws #lucero ardenti #tobi omukade #laid out in lavender #idk what to tag its just a little stupid comic #i dont even have my usual rants to put here i just made a silly :)

Finally read Witch Hat Atelier, and I'm really in love with many aspects of it but the style and really weird animals are definitely noteworthy. So, while thinking of OC au's, I designed a bunch of WHA inspired creatures based on my OCs.

#witch hat atelier #wha oc #creature design #monster design #original character #body horror #recall draws #my ocs #fandom posting #lucero ardenti #oren kawaguchi #dazai kubo #tobi omukade #i dont. rlly know if this counts as like.... fanart...... and im allowed to call it that #but its entirely supposed to be so ill give it all the tags anyway #the intents kinda like. well my ocs are all creaturey guys so heres the creatures theyre chimerized with in wha :) #i spent so long detailing the drakes hair btw its crazy #it looks kind of good tho so maybe its something i should try doing more #we'll see id like to experiment with it #thats why its good to experiment u find new things u like and wanna experiment further with :)

Was doing a doodle page and I have a TON of different little doodles of Oren, cause he's my fave guy to just doodle in his little creature form, so here's a dump of different doodles with him.

#axolotl #monster oc #monster boy #original character #recall draws #laid out in lavender #oren kawaguchi #lucero ardenti #just since hes in here too #ik he has the loil tag but its cause hes from that universe. again itll have a specific tag for important canonical content #hes just my silly little guy :) #im tryna get better abt remembering to post and like feeling confident to post literally whatever #my ocs #forgor the tag

Day 8: Past! I'm late posting today because I put a lot more effort into this, though I'm not 100% satisfied with it.

High school is difficult for most people, but especially difficult when you're cursed to turn into a shark monster every night with a compulsion to eat your close friends and your friends response to this is to bully you until you're so defeated you can't keep fighting the curse anymore.

#oc tober #bweirdoctober #inktober #original character #creature design #recall draws #my ocs #laid out in lavender #lucero ardenti #life aint easy when ur luz. #never even gained a back bone from this experience he just got worse #but like in the sad way #got rlly unwell mentally and physically #dw he like. tries to get better. never quite gets there bc of circumstances but he gets ppl in his life #and they rlly rlly care abt him and try to help him despite their own issues #and its very nice and bittersweet and sad but good

I'm very late to this meme, but I DID draw it. Y'know back when it was still a meme months ago. Whoopsies.

Bonus:

Don't let the comic fool you, Oren's usual fighting style is something more akin to an angry cornered prey animal.

#original character #monster #body horror #blood #recall draws #my ocs #laid out in lavender #lucero ardenti #oren kawaguchi #he doesnt usually have his magic on hand or immediately think to use it in a fight so he doesnt use it that much #i just thought this specific scenario was funny #bc he fully Can do that

[recallback-art]

So, I saw a post that reasoned if you want people to care about your ocs more, you should post more about who they are and comics were a good way to do that. And I figured y'know what, that's true! So I should post my silly doodle comics instead of only sharing em with friends.

Anyway, Shibuya gang game night is wild.

#original characters #monster ocs #recall draws #my ocs #laid out in lavender #oren kawaguchi #lucero ardenti #tobi omukade #its always a bit nervewracking actually posting abt ocs but i mean they had a point itd be nice if u got to know my guys #ill prolly keep it to this gang since id prefer for u to meet arion & co via loil itself #but the shibuya gang is kind of off in their own story so i can post whatever i want abt them forever #anyway yeah tobi hangs out w oren and luz :) they dont Really like oren but they get along w luz so put up with it #which is sad bc oren likes tobi oren thinks tobi is cool as hell

Bit of an odder piece to post, but some extra design details I put together for the weird teeth situations of some of my more creaturey ocs. Shichiro's teeth probably came out the best here lol

#body horror #monster oc #creature design #original character #laid out in lavender #my ocs #recall draws #dnd #shichiro kamiyashi #oren kawaguchi #lucero ardenti #tobi omukade #i forgor on my other posts i do character tags i need to go back and add those lol #i have more refs of other guys teeth actually but eh its old and id have to look em out if i do it i do it #u get this one tho bc i like them :) teefs
