Welcome all OC enthusiasts! This entire August 2026 will be all about your OCs, or more specifically, the dynamics between them. Post your writing, art, or whichever medium you choose on Tumblr with the hashtag #ocdynamicsmonth26 and make sure to show some love to other participants as well! Your posts will be reblogged to this blog.
My asks are open for any questions & comments you might have! Please read the rules and prompt guide first!♡
Rules:
Original characters only! Fandom OCs are fine, but the characters within the dynamic must be OCs.
Make something (writing, visual art, some other creation) with a given prompt, then post it on Tumblr during OC Dynamics Month and use the hashtag #ocdynamicsmonth26. Interpret the prompts freely and include as many OCs within the dynamic as you wish!
You can post your work late, for example you can post your creation for Day 1 on Day 15 if you want! All I ask is that you don't post them early.
There are no strict rules for what content is allowed. However, I may choose not to reblog something if I feel that it goes against the spirit of the event (AI generated content, hateful content etc). Including content warnings for heavy topics is encouraged!
Event is over but you still want to do the prompts? No worries, keep working on the daily prompts or fill the bonus prompts if you wish! I'll keep reblogging posts for a while after the event is over.
Bonus rule: interact with at least one other creation for each piece you make yourself! Like, reblog, leave a reply, or even send the creator a message if you want - let’s spread the love! ♡
Prompt guide
Each main prompt contains a type of relationship and an adjective. You can fill a day's prompt in one of 3 ways (using the first prompt as an example): 1. use only the type of relationship → make a piece about ex-friends, 2. use only the adjective → make a piece about ocs with a powerful dynamic OR 3. use both → make a piece about ex-friends who have a powerful dynamic.
This year, the bonus prompts are dialogue prompts. You can combine or swap them with main prompts or just do them in addition to the main prompts! You can use the exact wording, tweak it to fit your piece, or simply use the dialogue to inspire your work without using it directly.
fair warning that i may only be able to get attacks in the LAST week of AF due to academic responsibilities but if anyone would be so inclined... using this post to formally invite anyone who doesnt hate / would like to draw more fat humanoid/kemonomimi characters to draw either nico or alon!! (to be safe, use he/him for both)
my recent art for them
nico n alon respectively! but if you decide any other of my characters are more your thing, go ahead ! if anyone has questions i think my askbox is open but... nodding!
Please write your story. Draw the artwork. Finish the animation. Continue on whatever project you're working on. It doesn't matter if you're not good at it, or you have doubts, or you're afraid of mistakes. Your creation has a right to exist, and it will be important to others.
wish everyone could perceive the Vague Concepts in my head because i just know you would looove my Vague Concepts. you would think im so smart if you saw the misty clouds of Vague Concepts floating around in my head. #MyVagueConcepts
> Artist only draws skinny people
>> No one says anything
> Artist draws all people with body fat
>> They apparently have some sort of fat fetish
> Artist draws everyone aggressively white / pale
>> No one says anything
> Artist has all POC ocs
>> It's "blackwashing" (its literally their own ocs)
> Artist draws all trans people as perfectly passing
>> No one says anything
> Artist draws trans people that dont pass as well and dont fit into the cisgender norms (women with facial hair, men with hips, etc)
>> They're making caricatures with the intent of harming people
ppl only ever get upset by things that arent the super hetero cis skinny white capitalist shit / directly oppose it. like cmon.
I dunno, stop apologizing for your art. This includes not posting enough, too much, changing style, inconsistent style, repetition, subject. Its your art its your expression. Have fun.
