Finally got around to redesigning my first ever oc (and also my blog’s namesake, Icewing)
Info about her alt mode (and her old designs) under the cut
So I couldn’t decide between an F-16 Falcon and a Tu-22m as her alt mode. On one hand the F-16 has better engineering, but on the other hand the Tu-22m is much more shaped. So my friend suggested I mash them up! Im not particularly practiced at drawing planes, but I think I did well enough.
Now here’s what Icewing *used* to look like in 2020 and 2018
Usually my ocs are inspired by random objects or concepts that I want to explore. For example, my ocs Absalom and Zacchrias were inspired by the idea of a comedy about an angel and devil on someone’s shoulders.
College took over my life this week so I’m doing all these prompts in one post ✨
And all of my responses will be centered around 3 ocs: Collie, Auster, and Ceel (from left to right in the first picture)! Ceel’s technically just a background character in Auster and Collie’s story but I’ll talk about him anyways lol. (More under the cut)
Day 6: Past
Collie, Auster, and Ceel all met in university! The first drawing is an old photo they would have taken in their freshman year. Auster and Ceel were roommates during their sophomore and junior years, Auster and Collie were roommates during senior year. The three were on their uni’s competitive sailing team and won a few competitions during their time. For the most part they separated after graduation.
Day 7: Likes
Auster likes old books, mechanical bits and bobbles, classical and 80s music, avoiding the consequences for his actions, being the most dramatic person ever, and writing his gothic horror novels.
Collie likes sailing, painting, cats, reading Auster’s novels, a nice breeze on the coast, calm seas, ice cream, and chilly weather.
Ceel likes butterflies, classical lit, filmmaking, canal systems, dramatic shots and framing sequences, messing with Auster’s hair, and maintaining control.
Day 8: Dislikes
Auster dislikes smoke, pineapple pizza, his hair being messed with in any capacity, losing contact with people he cares about, and mirrors.
Collie dislikes thunderstorms, explosion noises, food courts, sand, and when people tell him to just speak.
Ceel dislikes authority, bitter food, hot weather, and things that bore him.
Day 9: Relationships
All three of them were friends during uni! Auster and Ceel dated for two years during uni. Auster and Collie remained friends after uni, and eventually they will end up together (if only I let them confess…).
Day 10: Personality
Auster has a very dramatic personality, often acting more like a caricature than a real person. He’s very self assured, calm, and aloof— aiming to come off as a mysterious person. He can almost sound arrogant at times, especially when prompted to talk about something he’s interested in. Everything he does is carefully measured, almost rehearsed.
Collie is very reserved, mostly due to his inability to speak. He’s gotten used to being the permanent listener in a conversation, so he’s a little awkward when it’s his turn to sign. He’s very sweet and mild mannered, like a soft ray of sunshine peaking through the clouds.
Ceel needs to be the center of attention at all times. He’s commanding and assertive, and can be aggressive if he doesn’t get his way. He’s a very sharp person, and as unpredictable as weather on the ocean.
Day 11: Symbolism
Auster carries so much inspiration from gothic horror— mostly Jekyll and Hyde. He’s very sopping wet cat coded as well. His hairstyle also reflects how free he is (whether or not it’s tied up, dyed a light or dark color, etc).
Collie has the least amount of symbolism out of the three and that is a crime!! All I have for him is that he’s dog coded.
Ceel has butterfly symbolism, he’s also so frail Victorian lady to me. He feels like a rococo painting too for some reason.
Day 12: Future
And we’re finally to picture #2! It’s just Auster and Collie in this future, Ceel drops off the face of the Earth during uni for Reasons.
Eventually Auster and Collie will spend their lives together. They’ll get a quaint little cottage by the sea with a dock and a sailboat, and they’ll have a wedding on the sea. But that future is very far off because I refuse to let them confess. They will continue pining for all eternity in my heart <3
This is Amethyst! I recently redesigned her to make her a magical girl! (More about her under the cut)
I originally made her in middle school so I don’t have any of her old art saved on my phone, but the main changes are just her outfit and eye color. Other than that, her civilian form has stayed pretty consistent!
She’s begrudging friends with Rishi (the guy I posted on day 2)! Her magic comes from a fear of earthquakes. She’s an aspiring archeologist, very inspired by Jurassic Park. I’ve actually based her parents on Alan and Ellie lol.
Anyways I cannot draw rocks for the life of me, so that splash art up there is probably the only time I’ll ever draw her using magic.
