OC Week!

New blog, new start! I realized recently that I’ve never posted art of my OCs to tumblr before. Here’s two of them now, Alistaire and Pinstripe! Just a quick summary, Pinstripe is a crossroads demon, and Alistaire is his rookie apprentice! Their hours are long and they don’t get paid enough to deal with half the things they see on the job. They get up to all sorts of shenanigans while trying to pay off a looming debt, but they just might make it in time! Their first anniversary is actually just around the corner. I first drew them on June 18, 2016, and they’re almost a year old! (I’m glad I’ve improved since then!) It’s hard to believe that they’re so young, it feels like I’ve been drawing them forever!

(Character notes: [Tragic backstory time!] Alistaire used to be a stray cat, until a tragic car accident at the crossroads injured his sister. Pinstripe, a demon with a noticeable New York accent, showed up to make a deal. Alistaire offered up his soul in exchange for his sister’s life. Surprised by the selfless act, Pinstripe took pity on the tabby, and offered him a partnership, and the rest of the story starts there. Alistaire’s current design is a bit outdated, so his look jumps around a bit; he’s probably going to get a redesign soon. Pinstripe is mostly up-to-date (except for the one in green!))

So, on to the rest of this post. I’d like to celebrate their birthday anniversary by starting an OC week where I will be doing a bunch of OC-themed art trades, So if you’re interested, please message me! I’d like to post and share some of their art to my new Tumblr. Starting June 13, I will be doing art exchanges, so If you’d like me to draw your characters, don’t be shy! I love to see my characters drawn in different styles, so all artists welcome regardless of skill level!

I understand that creating a finished piece may be a bit tedious, and I can’t draw more than 3 full finished art pieces in under a week, so instead I’ll be doing 3 different levels of completion which are:

Rough Sketch

Lineart

Full Finished Piece

Full Piece slots are limited. Digital and Traditional trades are welcome! *disclaimer* I am a self-taught artist; I’m not a professional. (yet :^D) I know my blog is brand new, so I won’t get many asks right away, so every artist helps! The deadline is June 18 to request, and all art should be posted by June 20th. Thanks for participating!

Dates have been extended to June 30th!

This is for @daleklunadoctor  on behalf of my part of our Art Trade! I’m sorry this is really late, but here you go! I was supposed to post this since Sunday, but I was having trouble with the file that was deleting some of my layers so I had to redo a few. 

I hope this is okay

Pinstripe and Alistaire belongs to @daleklunadoctor 

Artwork belongs to me

Here’s my half of an art trade with @alternativesaga, featuring two of their OCs, Chase and Tictac! The first pic of Chase might be a little busy, so I made a second one. Hope you like it!

This came out nicely! Three versions, because they all look cool. First finished piece on this new blog. Woo! Look at this absolute cinnamon roll, Boris!

My first art post to my new blog! Headcanon that Sammy Lawrence plays the flute when he feels down. This is a weird idea I had as I was falling asleep a few nights ago. Since Sammy is the Music Director, he most likely plays an instrument, and the flute was what I pictured.

New Blog!?

Hey, an Art Blog! Now I can post my rough doodles, professional pieces, and that one thing I drew at 3 AM and forgot about. So, this blog will probably contain a range of things, from chicken scratch to polished art. Feel free to contact me about tags or other concerns, and I’d love to hear criticisms of my work! Alright, let’s do this!
