I felt really stubborn about doing at least 1 MerMay picture with my OCs as mermaids this year, and I've been wanting to do this one for a while!! Also the first time I've primarily used watercolor pencils in a long time.
Whatever the scenario may be, Rags always finds her way back to RK and vice versa.... <3
I think this messy watercolor look does well for the grimy feel I was going for with these characters too... I want to do more with that.
Belated "Mother's Day" picture with these two, and a test of my markers in accounting for how different they look when scanned.
I did NOT realize how neon Calliope's outfit came out before, so I tried to darken it here to something closer to what I envisioned lol.
There's a little lore here where Calliope has saved all of the letters her Mom sent her over the years, before Vasti abruptly stopped sending them. Vasti has also kept all of Calliope's letters, secretly. She's so coy. :-)
In their story, I like to imagine that Calliope would go the extra mile to celebrate Mother's Day. Vasti meanwhile has a crisis about it, because she feels like she doesn't deserve to be called a mother.... so Calliope suggests calling it a date instead, which causes her to have another crisis lol.
Also! I think I'm going to call this series "Call Me Your Number One". It's meant to be in reference to how Calliope wants Vasti to prioritize her and notice her, and I think it conveys her playful attitude. You could also look at it as Vasti realizing how much Calliope thinks highly of her, despite being such a failperson lol.
I'm experimenting with my OCs' designs and am reaching out to the denizens of the void for feedback. Should Elliot have freckles??? Vote now:
Elliot with freckles?
Yay!!!!
Nay!!!
imo the freckles js make (insert pronoun here) look more finished this is really good
Thank you for the feedback!!! And it's she/her. :-)
Elliot's complexion has just been a blank slate in my mind for years so adding freckles feels like a revelation... lol.
I've seen others mention before that freckles tend to get assigned to characters who are more "cute" or "innocent" so I think it may be neat for a character like her who doesn't neatly fit into those roles... though I personally believe Elliot has her own kind of scruffy cuteness, lol. I am mostly just curious about what the results may be.

"So there's problems in your life That's fucked up, but you're not blind You're just see-through, faded, overrated And out of your mind"
-Lyrics "Heaven Beside You" by Alice in Chains
I feel like this song really fits Elliot's attitude, especially after the initial wonder and excitement of meeting the Ardors wears off and she begins to see them for who they are. AiC also just feels like an Elliot-coded band, lol.
"If not for us, you wouldn't be here right now. You'd do well to watch yourself and remember that."
Finished this picture of Lola based on a drawing I did [from 2015]
I'm still figuring out how I want to paint/render for digital art, but I'm happy with how this came out!! I want to do more work with backgrounds and scenery, especially because it's actually a big part of their story. Here is a comparison:
I also expanded on this piece and it is available as a downloadable desktop wallpaper (without the watermark) on my ko-fi for $1/Pay What You Want!! --> https://ko-fi.com/s/f992dda0b5
It's kind of self-indulgent because it's something I wanted to do for myself anyway, and I'm not sure who wants a wallpaper of my OC I've barely explained, but... it's there! I plan on making more downloadable wallpapers, and offering simpler ones for free there alongside $1/PWYW wallpapers like this one if you'd like to support me.
Trying to design a manic workaholic service top girl (Calliope) who is in love with her failing artist mother (Vasti, pictured in the bottom left and right.).
Calliope's self-worth is wrapped up in the labor she can do for others. Although her story follows her going after something she personally desires (her mother's love), it is still wrapped up in her need to service others and perform acts of labor in exchange for potential acceptance or validation.
This is not immediately apparent as Calliope seems almost super-humanly capable in her tasks and is overtly energetic, friendly and positive on the surface. After Calliope essentially brute forces her way into her mother's life, Vasti gets to see the parts of her that are usually masked slip through as she learns who her daughter is as a person.
Meanwhile, Vasti has to come to grips with abandoning Calliope as a child to pursue her art career, and at first believes her daughter's pursuit of her is a twisted act of vengeance.
There's so much more but I've had these two for a while now and I finally got to jot down some presentable concepts for them... they are still fairly recent in terms of OCs I've had. No working title yet, but I'm going to have a lot of fun with them because while it's a silly/outrageous plot on the surface, it actually speaks to something painfully personal for me and I hope the humor and sincerity can go hand-in-hand.
My year isn’t complete until I’ve made a weird out-of-context black & white ink (and marker) drawing.

bleh :P
trying to figure out what type of clothes Rags and RK would wear, some being outfits I found on Pinterest. (I know, I know.)
I want to start incorporating Rags' cane more.
here's some old versions of me dressing them up:
I have no idea what was going on with RK..... I think I was going for "2000s thrift store whatever-she-can-find disaster", but the hat looks weird and the fits were wrong haha. Though I do really love the "thick belt + sweater" combo for her so that stayed. I think collared shirts and jackets also still work well for her.
While trying to figure out what pants Rags would wear, my friend @acidsimp helped by suggesting the ripped bell bottoms, which also stayed. >:)

"My Name is Zombie" pages 1-9
This is all I'm going to share for now, since it gets more graphic from page 10 onwards and I'm not sure this site would be friendly to it. ^^;
The goal is to eventually set up a site where I can post this comic in full.
So far I have page 10 done, and the rest of the prologue/chapter 1 thumbnailed and scripted.
I'd had these characters since 2017, but have been working on planning a comic for them for the last 3 years or so.
"My Name is Zombie" is about 2 zombies who wake up with no memory of who they were or how they died. One wants to figure this out, while the other just wants to enjoy their new undead life. The story follows them learning to live with decaying bodies- and each other- as they slowly unravel the mystery of their untimely demises.
The story focuses heavily on their relationship and they mean a lot to me. I want to continue developing them. In the meantime, I wanted to share what I've been up to.
Thank you for reading! 🧟♀️❤️🧟
Concept sketches for "The Untold AfterBody Story" (working title)
I want to do more visual stuff for these characters and re-introduce them soon.
