every time someone says calling your original characters "OCs" is unprofessional and disrespectful towards yourself as an artist and that you should be calling them "my characters" instead I just gotta wonder if they know the purpose of an abbreviation. it's just fucking shorter and quicker to type!!! oh my god
The Goddess of the Moon is less known than the Sun, yet she is never envious.
She enjoys being in the shadows of other Gods, doing good deeds and blessing the unfortunate creatures she comes across. (Though sometimes those creatures don't like it, because Lucine sees what they could become, and challenges them to be better.)
Lucine is the Goddess of the Moon, of Love, Change, and Perseverance.
FULL MOON DESIGN She/Her/They

I don't love how this turned out but the idea is THERE. So I'm excited. Lucine will have a few designs! This is only the first 🌕
Apollonia and Lucine are not the only Gods/Goddesses in The Daisy Debts Universe.
And in the supposed battle I mentioned in Apollonia's post, it was *not* Lucine and Apollonia who fought :) just btw
YIPPEE MY NOVEL IS GETTING RELEASED! It's called "The Daisy Debts" and it's coming in AUGUST 2026!
(Text below for accessibility purposes)
TEXT IN VIDEO: Cara (Main Character) is just trying to get through junior year when she discovers she may be related to alien monsters, (2) Now she has to unravel secrets from her mother's past and decide what to do, all while surviving the roughness of her school (3) "The Daisy Debts" novel coming this summer
"And with eyes like stars that glow at night, how could I not believe?
It only confirmed she's my Galaxy, my Universe, my Stars, my Love."
(how Shawn sees her)
I really enjoyed drawing this but I'm not super happy with the background. I mean. I **tried** but it's not great. Any fellow artists got tips? I'm really trying to up my background game.
The lighting was hard cuz mixing yellow with these other colors is just... ugh. Results in a muddy mess. I think it's ok though!
Shawn and his tsavorite eyes. He's either putting on or taking off his mask.
Shawn is one of the main characters in my upcoming debut novel titled "The Daisy Debts"! He's a bit of a mysterious hermit at first, but seems pretty sweet, though Cara wonders why he always wears a mask and covers his face, only catching glimpses of scars.
In The Daisy Debts Universe some believe ancient gods and goddesses exist, though none have been seen since the most powerful gods fought each other, creating rips between worlds.
Apollonia is by far the most popular and "believed" in and worshipped goddess in The Daisy Debts Universe. She is the just goddess of the Sun, of Light, Karma, and Balance.
The third addition to my little "Alt Girl Seasons" ...set? I guess?
I've drawn this wall a handful of times now. Maybe it overlooks a creek or something. Cara is pretty short against it lol. The colors in this got a little blinding to me, I really like how the wall turned out though, and the background in general. I'm really trying to do more backgrounds this year.
OMGGG GUYS AND LOOK AT HER LITTLE PATCH! Isn't it just ADORABLE?! 🐻 just a bear and a button. So cute! (And inspired by a real patch I have, which my friend painted!)
- Cara Towers, the main character of The Daisy Debts.
- Hailey Roberts (Memory Variant), a mentor to Cara.
- Lance Miller, one of the main characters of "Emily Simons"
A bit about Cara: Cara is a junior in high school when the story starts, and I most often draw her as a teen, so that's the design I went with. I'd love to make one for when she's older, but her design doesn't very change that much until nearing the end of the story annnnd I don't wanna share that yet! Anyway. Cara comes from a pretty rough borough, and during her school years she's had her fair share of conflicts. (mostly with Becky) But by the time she's a junior, she's pretty well-feared by the classmates she grew up with, and ends up a bit of a loner. Of course, she still has the friend who's been there her whole life, Sasha. Well... She *did,* before Becky stirred up some trouble between them.
Even less about Hailey: Ohh, Hailey... What can I even say? "What does "Memory Variant" mean?" 😏 Wouldn't you like to know. Hailey is a very intelligent woman, much more than most people gave her credit for, and more than Cara would ever know. As she is in this design, she spends a lot of her time reading, rewriting, spending time with William, and aiding Cara when she visits. She's often referred to as "The Woman in White" by Cara, because of her pristine dress, which is very gaudy and extravagant for her time, but her family always had a way of doing things over the top, so who cares if the dress is a little outdated? It was for a very special occasion.
A bit about Lance: Lance is a new adult at the start of "Emily Simons" and just wants to have a fun yet relaxing gap year before heading off to college. He carries a first-aid with him always, and water, and anything that anyone hands to him and says "Can you put this in your bag for me?" Though, sometimes Emily ends up carrying his bag if he gets fatigued or exhausted. Lance has a new tattoo on his elbow, which he wanted as an outline so that he, or Chase, or any little kid he might be babysitting could color it in if they wanted. He struggles a lot with the mental toll of his disability. Grieving what he's never had, and still struggling to let others know what's going on, since growing up, he always tried to hide it and pretend it wasn't real. Thankfully his friends are very supportive, and so is his dad. Unfortunately Lance's mother passed away when he was just a baby. But his dad raised him well, and always tried to combat the ableist (and transphobic/homophobic) hurt Lance would experience at school.
I love Lance. He's so chill. I don't get to talk much about the Emily Simons crew, since I've been writing The Daisy Debts (which they aren't in) and I don't remember what happened, but I was stressing out in a particular way, and I always go back to Lance during that kind of stress. He's what I'd call a "comfort" character. Drawing him makes me feel more connected to the communities I'd like to find one day in-person. It reminds me there are plenty of people out there with similar struggles to me ❤️💛🤍💚🩵 I think Lance is one of the most important characters I'll ever write. Like Shawn, he's written for a very specific type of person. For them to see and go "I'm like that!" because there isn't much out there without jumping through hoops to relate more to a character.
