Happy Valentines Day 👍

This book and my art in general has had a DRAMATIC shift from fanart to OC art by the way. I remember when I was a little younger (14 or 15 or so) and I was like "I'm never making OCs!!!" because I thought they were kinda cringe. At that stage in my life I thought OC just meant fan characters and I'd only had experience with mid-at-best Sonic OCs.

And I said to myself I would never be that person who shipped their OC with the canon characters or made ""Mary Sues"" (which was the whole inspiration behind Penni LOL) and that sentiment still kinda sticks around because I am just waiting for the day someone comes and says "your OCs suck and you're a horrible writer" 👍👍👍

Tbh I don't think I'm ever getting rid of that fear but I can learn to control it 👍

But yeah it was just something I noticed 🤔 never would've thought I'd have so many OCs. Kind of a nightmare sometimes but I also love my little creations

That being said, let's move on 👍👍

Auris using his powers as intended 👍

Aperture gets so pissed whenever anyone asks her to make "hoo" sounds because Fun Fact boreal owls don't hoot. They make "kew" sounds and kips.

Oh yeah she has heterochromia now 👍

Aperture as one of the races from Outer Wilds!!!!!

I am so normal about Outer Wilds. If you've never heard of it go!!! Play Outer Wilds if you can!!!!! It's such a god-tier game.

Anyway that outfit is kinda sick tbh. Would probably look good on a dnd character 🤔🤔

But speaking of outfits I think I'm just gonna give up on making an official outfit for Aperture for now. I'm just gonna draw her in whatever the hell I feel like 🤷‍♀️ she's the type to have a wide selection of outfits anyway. Not sure how that would work if she travels so much but bear with me.

I might need a break from drawing Aperture in general??? I know she's in a lot of the recent drawings and I don't want to burn myself out trying to get a design lol.

Aperture + Ghost + yet another OC named Bumble!! She's a bumblebee :))) more on her some other time

Dnd time B)

If Vairx ever told Arivine why he doesn't want to do any more criminal things this is pretty much how it'd go down

Inspired by:

Their dynamic is so funny. Person who doesn't like being a criminal + Person who loves being a criminal. Def not the healthiest dynamic!!! But it's also kind of hilarious.

I think I said before that Arivine kinda developed a crush on Vairx??? Which uhhhh I'm retconning because it feels way too weird 🌚🌚🌚 so it's more of an admiration now?? It's like the trope of the plucky protagonist meeting the old and jaded hero/warrior/mentor and wanting them to return to their former glory but they're criminals.

So Arivine's like "omg you've committed arson!?!?! You should do that again" and Vairx is just "no....I really don't want to..."

POV: Marble's in his training arc + my sister's OC

Guy at the top of the first panels is yet another new OC named Poison 😁😁 more on them another time. It's like 1 AM and I'm exhausted 😦😦😦

Okay gamers it is no longer 1 AM 😁👍

So Poison is a porcupine!!! And her power is based off the false myth that porcupine quills are poisonous. He has poisonous quills and can turn into a poisonous eldrith horror type beast, hulk-style 👍

If you haven't caught on yet, Poison's pronouns are he/she/they 👍👍

I'm still kinda debating on their backstory?? It's either they're punk and edgy and have daddy issues because they were dropped too much as a child and also dropped into a vat of radioactive waste, giving him the powers,

Or they were just born this way and are punk and edgy because he wants to be

Probably will be a combination of both. Like Poison has all the reason to be depressed and/or self-loathing but she's not. There's probably some underlying psychological stuff in their behavior but I'm not getting into that just yet.

And I'll talk about Bumble a little bit too 👍 She's a worker bee in her colony (since worker bees are female) but is incredibly clumsy. Hence the name. But she's still determined to do her best and is a big people pleaser. And her backstory is essentially she got separated from her colony and ended up with the Chaotix, who help her find her way home and in return, she helps around the office.

So yeah they're neat 👍

On the topic of OCs. I've been debating over an idea. I want to conduct an experiment/study in which I post OC content to somewhere like Twitter, but I make no comment on who they are or what their deal is. Anyone who sees it will have to figure out everything exclusively from the comics and whatnot.

And the goal is to 1) see if anyone ends up giving a fuck, and 2) see what kind of stuff anyone potentially theorizes. For example will anyone give them names?? Make headcanons??? I've only ever shown my OCs to people I know, but what would a complete stranger say? Especially when there's no context or tone whatsoever.

I'm just hesitant because like. It's a new thing and I'm worried about its reception. I know I'll never know until I try, but I am paralyzed by action and commitment👍 It sounds like stupid fun idea though. I kinda really want to do it but at the same time. Guh.

I will let you guys know if I go through with it 👍 I kinda don't have time to commit to anything other than schoolwork rn lmao

I made this template myself!!

Okay bye love you <333
