(same as last one, if you don't like it, you can just keep it or delete the ask! Also, if my color changing is difficult, pls just tell me! I'll stop)

It's thirty minutes to midnight for me, and I have another one!!!

This time, the oc is actually the half-oc half mascot for my acc! (Hold)Anonymous, or just Hold. They're actually a full on shape shifter this time. Yoipee! Was originally planning to do a second one, but couldn't figure out a good idea, and also didn't feel like it atm, since this one took a while.

(hold is also a performer, just not part of the cast's circus, they sorta run a one-man show by themself, though they tend to appear alongside the circus (what can they say, it's good at advertising and they're a leech!) they are also, very much prying into Cairan's personal space because they rarely see fellow shape shifters.)

- also, if you can't see the text well, alt has it in there!

Hold's side effects for shape shifting are:

Faster consumption of energy in non-preferred forms (ex: full human is horrible for them, they prefer their base form, since it's just human enough to disguise their most prevalent features as makeup or parts of their costume)

all their forms have black/white/yellow color pallates

Hold is a menace to society (particularly Jester) and is always annoying Jester, as payback for their first meeting (he was, very rude, startled them and ignored the fact they'd told someone else to keep their hands off, grabbed their shoulder. They're still being petty about it.) so them helping Cairan get more food would be highly likely, just to annoy poor Jester. Even if it got them attacked.

Oh my goodness LMAOO I love this!! Your artstyle is so cute I love these interaction scenes TYSM for sending this in! Your character lore is mega intriguing as well I love their personality they seem so mishievious, I can imagine a very fun dynamic between them and Cairan

Made my own little doodle of them because I'm putting off other work I have to do, I'll try to do more of these doodles with anyone's future asks if I have the time, sorry if i got any design features wrong (dialogue is in alt if you can't read it)

Guess wha :]

I drew Cairan again, this time crashing out:

Sorry im like bombarding you with art, I just cant stop 😭

!!!!!!!! oh my god... Do not apologise you are feeding me rn I am eating so good these are amazing, I love the detail! (RIP star shaped pillow, you will be missed) They are such a Creature in your style I 100% approve. I can only imagine the 'oh shit' moment of one of the other circus members finding them haha TYSM for this (Also can confirm they WILL be having a crash out scene somewhere in the fic's future)

Sneak peak drawing for Chapter 8 (not yet released), got kinda lazy with the rendering because I lost motivation halfway through Some inspiraion for Cairan's beast design is taken from binary-whatsthat (EnbyWyvern on AO3), they are also vaguely based off of a wolverine (the animal)

[deathsong69]

So. I saw the other person's ask, and wanted to maybe toss in a potential interaction with my own TFC oc.

(their name is Andisite, and they have the ability to shift between three forms, 2 are shown here, and the third is a completely human form, which is painful for them to be in.)

(alt text has more context n stuff)

1

2

(You can just ignore this or delete if you dissaprove)

Oh my goodness?? Your OCs design is SOO cool I really like the concept!! And your artsyle is really cute I love how you drew Cairan. I definitley approve, I think they could have a really interesting dynamic, TYSM for taking the time to draw this!!!

[deathsong69]

I DID IT!!

This is Recon, my shapeshifter OC. I tried to stick to your kinda design elements for shapeshifters but also threw a few headcanons in there if you dont mind.

SHRIEKS??? HELLO??? Oh my goodness these are so perfect!!! Your artstyle is SOO COOL dude. I'm so invested in Recon, they're so intriguing I adore all of their different designs they're mega epic I'd love to learn more about them... Also I love your view on their dynamic its so cute!! I fully approve of these headcanons they're amazing I'm giggling kicking my feet, Cairan would be SO excited to meet someone like them. They would be absolute menaces to Jester and TT together ALSO in general TYSM for drawing my guy and reading my fic it makes me endlessly happy that someone would take the time to do this AND also draw them with their own OC it makes me really excited thank youuu

[deathsong69]

Hello friend! I wanted to ask if you would be okay if I drew both of our shapeshifter OCs interacting? I think they'd have a fun dynamic together but I just wanted to ask.

I would be absolutely delighted if you did that!! Go right ahead, you have my blessing

[deathsong69]

I wanted to send it as an ask so you'd be able to decide whether or not anyone else got to see it.

Throwing this fanart of Cairan at you before I anxiety myself out of sending it.

(the difference is 1 is normal style and 2 is a simplified design using lasso tool)

HELLO?? Oh my goodness???? This is actually so cool TYSM Both of these styles are so pretty!! Thank you for taking the time to make this and send it to me this is so peak I love how you simplified the gradients on the lasso tool version AAA

Some doodles for Chapter 7 of my fic

[deathsong69]

For people that can't see the embedded images on ao3, all of the drawings I've made so far. The rest I'll post along with the chapters. For those that are coming across this randomly, this is Cairan who gets forcefully employed to become a performer. The fic is linked on my profile if anyone's at all interested.
