✨ welcome to my art blog ✨
I’m Sunny (or Ripley), lesbian who draws lesbians. I’m making an OC story called No Graves, about inappropriate workplace relationships, an emotionally-absent lesbian single father, and why you should follow protocol when getting your fantasy PhD.

i never said anything on this website but i got accepted into a masters program so i get to study ✨science✨ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will either make no art for the next 3 years or i will be stress-drawing a lot. do not know what will happen. but thats my life update :)
Pre-story lore dump from my comic but like 20 years before it starts. I posted this on bluesky last week but I’m gonna dump the full text under the cut. I want to talk about my ocs
Lyra is an environmental scientist studying how magic impacts their ecosystem in the age of technology, where manipulating magic has fallen out of use. She is focusing on how ordinary creatures seem to be turning into large magic-fueled beasts that destroy everything around them. She also studies the history of how people used magic, and the process of channeling magic to change one’s shape. She often goes out into the field and is faced with dangerous creatures, and, since she is not a fighter, she puts out an ad to hire a “research assistant”/bodyguard.
Svee is a lonely woman just entering her 30s, from the southern end of the continent, fresh out of combat school, with little to no idea on what she wants to do next. She never knew her parents, and went to school because she had nowhere else to go and didn’t know what to do. She is not unhappy, but feels like she has no purpose or drive to do anything specific. Not wanting to join the military, she decides to become a freelance sword-for-hire and takes gig jobs as a hunter.
She sees Lyra’s ad, and decides to move to the northern reaches of the continent to follow this potential job offer. She has no experience with magic or science, but she knows she is good with her swords, and that seems to be what Lyra is asking for.
Lyra immediately finds Svee fascinating – though people in the present time no longer actively use magic and don’t seem to even know how, Svee is actually physically incapable of perceiving or connecting with magic at all. Lyra can tell this immediately, and hires her. She is fascinated by Svee and wants to test the limits of her magic deficiency.
Svee is immediately in love. She is at Lyra’s side every waking moment of her life. She does everything Lyra asks, and tries her best to be exactly what Lyra needs. Lyra gives her a purpose, and is very kind to her. She accompanies Lyra on all of her field expeditions, and spends many days in her office or lab watching her and doing everything she says.
Lyra intentionally exposes Svee to areas and creatures with extremely high concentrations of magic, and smaller concentrations while under observation at Lyra’s side. Lyra is testing Svee, and Svee doesn’t know it. Svee is changing, and she doesn’t understand.
Lyra cares for Svee, but she cares about her research much much more. Lyra enables Svee’s behavior, though. She entertains a romantic relationship with Svee, but always puts Svee below her work. Svee fails to understand this.
Svee makes a lot of friends at the research institution. She is not a very “interesting” person (she has no hobbies and can only talk about Lyra and work) and is not very chatty in general, but she enjoys being in the company of others and learning what other people are doing. There is some negative opinion regarding Lyra, mostly that she does not want to work with others and won’t share what she’s learned or what she’s working on.
Lyra believes very strongly in the old religion, the spirits/gods that died from excessive use of technology, which left magic stagnating and fading away. She believes she is doing the right thing by helping purify and strengthen the magic left in the environment, and believes she might be able to create more of it, or control it in some way. She thinks she is on the verge of something huge, that could solve all of the problems she’s been studying for years.
Svee’s body eventually begins to rely on magic as a result of the exposure, but she can’t intake it herself. Her body starts to eat itself. Lyra has to infuse her with magic, and continuously increases the quantity.
Svee becomes increasingly protective of Lyra. She grows distant from all her new friends, and only talks to Lyra. Lyra is working on something very big, and does not elaborate to Svee on what it is. Lyra starts testing things on herself, and starts leaving Svee out of things and doing things on her own. She assures Svee that what she is doing is simply very important and needs to be done in a very particular way.
Lyra portrait previews. Observe my horse
Lore has updated a lot since I made the text on these, so I rewrote the info on their refsheets :)
They put me in the ground
But I’m back from the dead
Wifey moment
Didnt like Svee’s portrait in comparison to this sketch of Lyra’s. So I’m redrawing her. Of course.
Wifey moment
My ocs are not ffxiv characters anymore, just for the record. That’s where they started, and now I’m doing something completely separate and way more insane to them.
Characters I’ve pulled inspo from for Svee:
- Thancred
- Gideon Nav
- like every shitty reluctant dad in media but I wanted to see that trope with a lesbian
Characters I’ve pulled inspo from for Lyra
- Minfilia
- Zelda
- Barbara Ann Minerva
Characters I’ve pulled inspo from for Anja
- Aurene
- Ryne
- wait those two rhyme
I used to make huge rambling threads about my ocs on twitter but then I deleted my twitter and I’ve been too embarrassed/shy to do the same thing on bluesky. What if I just talk here
I have an oc blog where I reblog aesthetics and shitposts if anyone cares about that

Brief rundown of the No Graves premise since I never coherently talk about it anywhere:
It’s told post-timeskip. The older Svee design is 99% of the present plot.
Pre-timeskip Svee is a bodyguard and monster hunter for-hire who works for Lyra, a magic scientist and historian. Lyra has a lot of theories about the way magic works in their world, and thinks she could personally make it better. The use of magic has fallen out of style, due to improved tech and lack of public interest in magic use. Lyra hires Svee because Svee has a complete inability to channel magic at all. She finds her fascinating. She basically makes Svee the focus of her phD thesis. They also have a somewhat-covert definitely-inappropriate-as-boss-and-employee romantic relationship. Lyra wants to experiment on Svee. She does experiment on Svee. It does not go well.
Present story, Svee is on the run because she’s been framed as the one who caused Lyra’s disappearance almost two decades ago. She lives in a cabin in the far mountains with her daughter, Anja. She regularly loses control of herself and turns into a giant manticore, who the mountain locals call The Valkyrie. Anja knows nothing about what happened before she was born, because Svee refuses to speak about it. Svee’s health continues to deteriorate while Anja is left physically and emotionally neglected by her only parent, and has to run the house for both of them.
That’s all for now. Yippee

Anja is the most pathetic sopping wet thing ever every time I draw her but she’s out there covering for her mom who is killing people in the woods as a giant manticore so like. Its ok that she looks kinda pathetic and pitiful

(I turned my ocs into cats. Or. Even more cat than they were)
Separated under the break
its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%
daily reminder that if you like something someone made tell! them! tell them tell them tell them TELL THEM
pease
Thank you guys for telling me, whether it be in the tags, in asks, comments, and everything else💚 it has kept me alive through my darkest thoughts and moments. I really mean it.
