trying new things ft. @dyebaths' appel :)

pov you're being slashed to death

i got the 3d modeling itch this weekend. appel has some chunky armor and an existing turnaround that's nicely translated to low poly land so he is my victim this time ^_^

new things tried: more polygonal face, whatever the fuck i was doing with the hair, slightly more detailed textures, cartoon outlines, rigging the hair and tail manually. overall not bad! i'm not fully satisfied, but i think i need to 100 pots it. i learned a lot and that should probably be the important part

i think i was a liiiittle too married to the rigify rig proportions.... he didn't end up as built as i wanted him to be 🤔 something for next time i suppose

oc-tober day 6: relationships

song family and powers family portraits :)

fucks me up that shay is just a normal teenager in this pic. i think the only other time i've ever drawn him pre-prophecy is in that comic from this winter.

these were some self-indulgent stuff drawn after the most recent session because i am #1 guy who is normal about shay and don.

i still think they're so interesting. their parents being the former chosen-angel pair. them growing up knowing nothing about each other. their weird relationships with their dead dads. i think they could have a lot to talk about if they ever found it in themselves to be emotionally vulnerable

hopefully we save don from being kidnapped and can make it happen

day 5 of oc-tober: underappreciated oc!

this honor i think has to go to coda, who was so underappreciated that i conspired with my dm to kill them ❤️

they were an aetherborn bard who had a life expectancy of 6 years, and who had ambitions of writing a song that would outlive them. i also just straight up did not have fun playing them!

i think it was a combination of a lot of factors - i imagined them as a very high-cha showy outgoing character, and at the time (and still now tbh) i did not have the confidence as a player to pull spotlight. they also didn't have super compelling dynamics with the rest of the party and it made it hard to get super excited about them lol

at least their hair is fun to draw

oc-tober 3: favorite oc

surprising no one...... shay song

shay is so special to me..... in ways i cant put into words..... i love his arc and his relationships with the other pcs and his driving force and his custom move. so excited to play to find out what happens next :)

first ever shay, from jan 5 2022!

oc-tober: old oc

quinn is the first oc i have in my camera roll! circa 2016 vintage quinns + rambles under the cut

quinn has changed a lot in these past nine years... he was originally a long-lost child of a magic portal fantasy kingdom who could shapeshift into a wolf. lowkey he was the very classic emo brooding hoodie-wearing oc of a 12 year old

when i made him, he was very much like an older kid who i thought was sooooo cool. and now he's like a kid i mentor who i see my younger self in. crazy how the passage of time goes, huh?

now quinn's an aspiring superhero with a vaguely masculinity-shaped chip on his shoulder. he's retained some of that guarded standoffishness but has gained a lot more insecurity and goofiness. he's one of my favorites ever tbh

still wearing the grey hoodie of insecurity tho. some things never change

also he was white when i first conceptualized him. aint that crazy?

oc-tober day 1 - new oc

this has made me realize i haven’t made a new oc in a very long time - these two are two ideas i had for a wannabe character for a kids on bikes campaign my friends were talking about this summer :)

i knew i wanted to play a wannabe (esp to play off another popular PC), but i couldn't decide if i wanted to be like a mean girls queen bee second-in-command or a really desperate suckup social blunder-er. still am not sure what i want - we'll see if the campaign develops further and what plays better in the dynamic!
