Some reasons under the cut ^^
I'm hitting stage 2 terminal artblock so have this WIP of Stryga, Nostromos and their backstories. Haven’t touched it for 2 weeks. Please do bully me into not abandoning it 🪦
Rambling about the sketch ⬇️
Fuck that anon. I came for the art, but there's nothing wrong with learning from someone using their platform for good! If you don't mind, I wunna hear more abt what Virago is/your OCs!
Hey, thanks for taking an interest in my art. I really appreciate the kind message! No clue what that anon was all about the other day ☠️ but for my OCs, you know I'll take any excuse to yap about them lol.
To answer your question about Virago I'm still new to the community and figuring out my identity so I'm no expert on the topic but I'll try my best...
In short, Virago is a genderqueer identity for women who tend to be more masculine-aligned (although there are virago who are androgynous or feminine) and who are attracted to gender non-conforming/feminine-aligned men. You can be het, bi or pan and be virago.
Speaking for myself I grew up tomboyish, tried to be hyperfemme to fit in but struggled to feel comfortable with my gender expression, now I'm leaning towards masculine. I also have a very strong preference for feminine men.
If you want to learn more about this identity @viscasi , @viragoposting and @prof-zunoshade are your go tos. 💪
About my OCs You didn't specify which OCs you wanted to know more about so I'll introduce the ones I've been drawing lately. 🤔
Yui and Mattaeus I share this pair of characters with my friend Xeno who Matty belongs to. Although I've mostly drawn them in a modern day setting, these two actually started as characters for a Space Opera story. Yui (she/her) is the captain of a pirate crew and Matty (he/him) is an engineer she rescued off of a corporate starship. In short their dynamic is jock x nerd. Zuno once joked that Yui is whipped for Matty and they're right lmfao.
But although I love all of the characters I share with Xeno, these two inadvertently allowed me to explore my gender identity and who I'm attracted to so I'm really quite fond of them.
Cecil and Sigrun I've had them floating around my head for years but I didn't get the motivation to draw them until recently. Their story is set in the late 80s where supernatural beings live in human society.
Sigrun (she/her) is a werewolf who's the bassist of a band called the Rougaroux and Cecil (he/him) owns a lounge that caters to other creatures of the night. Although Sigrun is visibly larger and more intimidating, she pretty much follows Cecil around like a lovesick puppy. These two have both been alive for much longer and I'd like to explore the different eras of their lives in my art; from the Middle Ages to where they are now. In another life Sigrun was a viking warrior and Cecil royalty.
Stryga and Nostromos These two are my most recent-ish characters. They both started as DND characters but since the campaign with my group fell through I adopted them as regular OCs. Stryga is a knight whose blind loyalty to a mad king led her to her death. After being ressurected by a lich and spending her undeath without purpose, she finds herself vowing to protect Nostromos, a runaway noble whose magic is the only thing keeping her from falling back into a pile of bones. Nostromos was born into a powerful line of priestesses and is gifted with immense magical talent himself, but in drow society being blind and male means he has no claim to succession. Instead, his family raised him to be an ideal political bride. He has other plans though, and may have sparked a bloody struggle for succession that he used as cover to escape. I love a good knight and villainess/princess dynamic, just made it gothic with reversed roles.
Funny enough, I came up with most of these characters before I found the virago/HetGC labels. I was always just drawn to these dynamics, I suppose. If anyone wants to ask more about my characters I'll happily yap about them lol.
I LOVE your OCs!!! Soooooo many good tropes in delicious combinations, oh my god. I would LOVE to see whatever other writing/content you have of them if you’re willing to share!
(Also— the explanation of the label you provided is great! If anyone reading this wants additional information about viragos, I have an information page for it on my blog that you can check out!)
Thank you! I'm glad people like them so much. 😭 I've mentioned it to you before but it's crazy to me how I found a community to be a part of and people who are interested in the kind of characters and dynamics I like
I've been wanting to get back into writing for a while. You all are slowly giving me the motivation I need. I'll be posting a lot of art about my characters as usual too. I'll also see if I can share Matty and Yui's space story.
Compared to my Bluesky and Instagram that I've been treating as "portfolios" I'll be treating my Tumblr as a sketchbook. This is the place to be if you want more OC art 💪
I am here to spread dumbass himbo propaganda
Do your OCs have stories/info about them anywhere that I can read? I want to know more about them!
Hey, you came at the right time! I actually just answered another ask with a little summary about each of them. 😁 Matty and Yui have the most amount of writing for them. I've been in the process of compiling both my and Xeno's writings for archival purposes but I took a break from it. If there’s interest, I can pick the project back up! Their main story is a dystopian space opera where corporate empires rule the galaxy—Yui's a pirate captain, and Matty is a corporate worker bee she accidentally liberates. I’ll have to check with Xeno to make sure she’s comfortable with me sharing the main story and the side stories she wrote.
The rest of my OCs don’t have much writing yet. I haven’t been too motivated since Xeno and I went on hiatus. But if you want more info, I’m more than happy to share—just let me know who you’re curious about. ( ̄ー ̄)ゞ
Fuck those guys, don't let them get to you. Tell your audience anyways, i'm sure they'll care.
Thank you that really means a lot! I honestly didn’t realize I even had an “audience.” I’m just a weirdo on the internet drawing things I like. If you enjoy the art and want to hang around, that’s more than enough for me. No gatekeeping here.

Fear and Hunger chibis!! I'll be selling these designs as stickers at Otakufest this coming August 17 and 18. I'm repping two of my favourite horror games with F&H and Silent Hill 2. Posting those soon as well. (˵ •̀ᴗ•́˵)و
New and Improved 💪 Might have some Termina fungerlings on the way.
Last anon about the ocs. I didn't mean much harm, it's just that label won't to take off when it's just glorified straightness posing as queerness. Your established queer audience isn't going to give you interactions for it is all I'm saying. ur free to do what you want tho idc
Usually I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but you keep saying you don’t care and that you “don’t mean any harm,” while still going out of your way—twice now—to tell me what to do with my own art, my own characters and my own queerness.
I'd perfer if you'd not label your character's sexuality as Virago. Tons of people like myself don't really care all that much for out-there labels and come for the art.
Why are you telling me what to do with my own characters? 😶🌫️
My undead paladin, Stryga Closeups vvv
Still so proud of my undead ladyknight. I need to get around to drawing her runaway prince(ss).

Bonus shitpost: Sometimes a girl just wanna get praised too.
Happy Halloween! 👻
It's my favorite time of the year, even though we don't celebrate it where I'm from.
