Just found your blog, love your art!

Aw thanks dude :’D I’m glad you like it!

[peevishpants]

Ok so what if all of your OC did an arm wrestling contest who would come out on top? Also is it alright to use your art as a phone background?

Hey skcurt! Yes, you may use my art as a phone background! I’m not sure if they’re the right dimensions though so you might wanna crop it or something.

Sorry this took a while to answer. I’ve never actually compared my OC’s physical strength before so I had to sit down and think about it for days LOL. Anyway thank you for your questions, and it’s under the cut bc long post!

The Final Standings:

1. Lady robot-eyes (FUCK YEAH)

2. Pandreas (convinced flowershop boy to lose on purpose using a Sob Story)

3. Flowershop boy (the deities smile upon this pure innocent manchild)

4. Victor (can’t cheat against flowershop boy. his virtuous aura is too much)

5. Grocery girl (maybe next time pal)

6. Long (grocery girl’s ferocity impressed Long very much)

7. Yan (would never humiliate Long)

8. Corpse boy (would never hurt Yan)

9. Vivente (was disqualified and needs medical attention after Victor accidentaly crushed her entire forearm)

In terms of raw strength: Lady Robot-Eyes would win. She’s intimidation, buff as hell, and unflappable. She had a rough-and-tumble childhood, only later did she get into engineering nanomachines. Plus she’s ruthless enough to find any means necessary to win if she gets invested in the competition so maybe she’ll install some robot reinforcements into her arms or something.

Cheaters: Pandreas and Victor are a pair of sleazy shits who are very aware of their weak arm strength, so they’ll be cheating from the get-go. Pandreas is a sprightly kid who always feels like they have to prove themselves so they’ll want to win, badly. They wouldn’t say no to sketchy pre-wrestling steroid drugs. Victor’s a sneak but he’s lazy and will probably pretend to be above arm-wrestling if he loses and just cry later, when no one’s around.

Would actually die: Vivente has a very slight and fragile frame. Her semi-hollow birdy bones are so light that they would probably snap if she went all-out against someone. She doesn’t have any leverage to push, even if she does have considerable bicep development.

Pushover: Corpse boy’s a kind, calm guy who sees the good in everyone. His muscles may be transparent but he’s pretty up there in upper body strength. A well placed kick would beat him though, and considering most of my other OCs have no problem cheating, he’d lose pretty early. He’d probably let Yan and win too, since he’s partial to her.

Concedes victory on purpose: Long and Yan (I might… just call them that forever) the two sisters, are pretty buff (Long’s a soldier and Yan is a maid). Yan’s actually physically stronger than Long, being a heavy lifter and all, but she’s only 15ish years old, so against Vic or Vivente or Grocery Girl/Flowershop boy… she’d lose. Long’s graceful and fast but definitely weaker. Physical prowess aside, Long wins! Because as much as Yan talks shit about her older sis, she loves Long and doesn’t want to embarrass her, so she’ll let big sis win.

Grocery girl and Flowershop boy: grocery girl has an average build, flowerboy is pretty strong. They’re pretty evenly matched, but the boy wins more often. When the girl wins though, she spends hours rubbing it in his face afterwards, drinking in the glory.

OC question! Is there a story behind those red threads you always draw with the two sisters? Very interesting and always very pretty!

Yess, thank you so much!!! Keep these OC q’s coming, and again a long answer so look under the cut :D

So they don’t have proper names yet, but for now I’ll call the older one Long and the younger one Yan. (Long Yan is dragon eye fruit and i love that shit. Long means dragon and Yan can also mean the swallow bird haha aw yeah unsubtle animal names)

So the two sisters are long distance siblings. They’re orphans living in a region of the world-setting remniscent of China (i swear this isn’t a self insert but…. I love myself). I want the place to have some law similar to the One Child Policy of real-life China, in that it results in a huge excess of unwanted orphaned girls. Anyway the older sibling Long drafts herself into the army as a dragon rider because she’s sick of taking care of her younger sis and the other younger girls in her orphanage, and because I’ve decided conscription is a Thing in this region of the world. Yan’s jealous that Long gets to leave and have fun (she’s an idiot who doesn’t know what war is really like, plus dragons are super cool) so she runs away and stumbles on a mysterious manor. The house owner, a strange lady, lets her live there as long as she helps out the maids and cleans shit…. and learns about the old lady’s witchiness. Basically, Long and Yan’s lives diverge and… maybe they’ll never meet again before one of them dies :(

About the red threads. Yan uses hers to tie up her cleaning uniform, and Long ties hers to her hair. I’ve explained that everyone in this world harbours harmless (well, directly harmless) superpowers and they’re all chill with it. Siblings often get similar powers because the magic is based on gene mutation. Yan and Long have the ability to access a “blank” space in another dimension where they can meet each other <it’s this white place with two red gates>, kind of like telepathy. Their red ribbons serve as antennas for their magical private wifi, they come from a family of telepathic people who’ve preserved and condensed their magic into these ribbons they pass on from generation to generation.

So yeah, Yan and Long probably have the strongest familial heritage even though they’re the orphans in my pile of OCs. Hope this was interesting to read!

hEYOO you're OCs are rlly cool, and Victor is my fav bc he looks so damn cool. do u hav a backstory for him?? u got top quality art

OMG thank you! I have so many fragments of OC backstory piled up, so thanks for giving me an excuse to TALK ABOUT THEM, beware long post

They’re very changeable though, so this is all very tentative haha

Ok brief explanation of the world all the OCs live in: the social and biological norm is that everyone has some minor inherent magic. This works because all these magical oddities are generally very weak, non-violent and only transform the self. For example, Vivente was born with extremely hollow bones and feathers instead of hair, so she can’t exactly fly without special equipment but she floats easily and can jump far, etc. Her pale corpse friend looks like a corpse because he needs to actively focus to keep his skin from becoming translucent. So overall it’s a fun, interesting world where people love exploring each others’ weird mutations, and pretty much no one is shocked or scared when a magical power manifests itself. BUT NOT ALL IS PEACE AND LOVE!!!!!

ENTER VICTOR “REDFINGERS” BARAN AND HIS CREWVictor grew up in a white tech-industry town full of respectable, upstanding people, and got a boring assembly line job for a nanomachine factory. He hates standing still and doing repetitive jobs (he got the job bc he has really delicate fingers idk that’s his magic manifestation) so naturally he goes exploring and finds out about CORRUPT CORPORATE BUSINESS MODELS! Victor loves corrupt corporate business models!! He gets a job promotion when he confronts the company CEO (Lady Robot Eyes with no name yet) about it, and now he’s a patent stealer. He infiltrates the engineering labs of competitor companies, and his magically deft hands are VERY WELL SUITED TO THIEVERY so he and Lady Robot Eyes become fast business partner friends. 

Then they meet and “adopt” Pandreas the lil twerp with dark eyes but I haven’t really thought much about their first encounters yet

Anyway sorry for responding late, I had to write this all out and the last time i ever wrote this much uninterrupted was like….. gr12 english essay on hamlet…..

[peevishpants]

how are u so amazing wtf!!!! everything looks so good like the colors and how u do your lines and shading and coloring oh my god

YOOO bro that's so sweet! Even more sweet than the hella donuts i had today bc a "2 for 1" donut deal was goin on

and haha I'm glad you like my artsy arts!!! That makes me really happy!

[peevishpants]

Hi there, I like your art of Inigo wearing shades. Is it okay if I may use it as an icon?

I don’t mind as long as you credit me somewhere clear on your blog! And send me your actual url (anons using my pictures kind of weirds me out, I like knowing you! :D)

(idk where you live so it might be different from where I live, but I've found that professors usually dislike it when people raise their hands for the restroom because it forces the professor to "break their stride" of teaching so to speak. They just assume you're old enough to excuse yourself, at least that's been my experience but maybe it's different for you ^_^

hey that's a good point, thanks! idk my high school had the wackiest teachers tho there was this one scary mathman who would only let you pee after he flipped a coin and you guess heads or tails correctly so I stayed in his class for 2 days before switching out

[peevishpants]

ok i don't really have any friends into Myers-Briggs types, so I'm just gonna bitch along with you. you and me, we got the shittiest powers. I'm an ISTJ. You know what that is on the chart? PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY. wtf all the others are at least moderately cool. What the hell? Who thought of that. Does the maker mean a perfect memory? Cause that'd be kickin'. But a photographic memory is really lame as far as powers go. And literary manipulation? What. 'Oh look i can change the words on this sign'

that’s rough, buddy D:

But ok I’m gonna be Ms Positive McPositron today bc maybe u need someone 2 cheer u up? Because

Literary animation: project narrative stories into reality by reading wHAT IF I READ THE OBAMA-TAEMIN FANFICTION this is too good

Dimensional storage/travel: to trap people/objects in the books. Check it, magic tree house!! U too voldemort

Summon things using books. Basically, “mage”

And yeah of course editing texts like I could make a stop sign say “dickbutt” or something. Lit manip would be so useful for daily pranking needs

And memory magic for u though can u imagine

u’ll never feel how shitty it feels to forget/lose something important, never forget ur friends bdays, ace every single test without studying, basically become smarter than everyone else

REMEMBER ALL YOUR DREAMS also your dreams would be so intense and detailed and amazing

MEMORY PALACE!!!! MIND PALACE OF MEMORIES

Being able to physically go back into a memory, and bringing people with you

MEMORIZE SONG LYRICS AFTER ONE LISTEN like holy shit

Solve mysteries bc no one else gonna remember the littlest details and clues you could be Sherlock except cooler bc you’re not an asshole

Ok basically even tho our powers seem lame, they could still be hella useful, just for more real-world day-to-day uses u feel

Also I want a story about some chumps with really dumb powers who come together and do really cool things bc that would be hilarious

"how did u save the world?" "haha i used my magical power of lyric-improvisation to beat the big bad in a rap battle fuck yeah" 

But yeah I still would want Flying over Lit Manip sorry
