bweird OCtober Day 5: Underappreciated OC!

This is my skykid from Sky: COTL! They have lore in my mind but skykids are so hard to drawww

I do really like them tho so yay! Screenshot of them (ref image) and lore below cut:

Here they aaare <3

Anyway lore dump so beware:

I see a lot of polls and convos about when players joined sky, like which season/days and such, to the point that their skykids are FROM those seasons/days (which is awesome don't get me wrong) and I always felt so weird because sky isn't really a game I play consistently, so I don't remember when I first started playing, or which season/days my guy is from.

So instead of making it up, I just decided to incorporate it into their lore :P

I'm a huge fan of the Krill and the later areas of the game, so I of course had to make my kid related to that (I WAS SO HYPE WHEN THE HORNS AND TAIL WERE SHOWN AS AN IAP THEY'RE ALL I'VE EVER WANTEDDD). Because reincarnation is a big part of the game, my skykid was first alive when the ancestors were still alive. They were around for the events of all the 'main' spirit memories, and were affected by whatever caused them all to pass.

When they die (something related to Krill ofccc) they are in limbo for a long time, eventually being reincarnated as a skykid. Their first life as a skykid is normal, just like the game intends you to go through for the first time. When they enter Eden it's a really tough time, and they're plagued by visions of memories they can't explain.

At the end of Eden, where you get the wing buffs from the ancestors, they regain all of their memories. And then they're reincarnated without much time to process it all.

The first spirit you meet in Isle (the same one who shows you the light refresh in aviary) is one skykid knew very well back when they were alive during the time of the ancestors. They were a resident of Isle before Bad Things started happening (unsure what, I really need to catch up on sky lore), where they then went to various lands to help out.

When skykid meets them again, the memories come flooding back and they spiral to the point of seclusion. Every time they're hit with the memories, they find a place among the clouds to hide until it all dulls again. (This is to explain my huuuge hiatuses from the game) Events are never completed, they miss a lot, because it gets to be too much for them.

The ancestor spirits don't really seem to remember them? Skykid looks different, obviously, and after going through Eden countless times (it is the best numbing method), the influences from their first death start to show (in the Krill horns and tail >:3).

After an extremely long seclusion, they awake to find themselves in the clouds around aviary (during nesting season). They're extremely confused as to where aviary came from, but they actually stick around this time. Helping out the ancestors (even if they still don't know who skykid really is), getting a place, a home, to call their own again, going through Eden one more time for Steward .....

And then they see *him*. The first spirit, the daily light guy, and the memories that flood don't cause them to run--this time, this time is different. They sit, and they stay, and they talk.

(mainly all of this lore is inspired by the song 'Old Soul' by Saint Motel lmfaooo it's their theme song (skykid and daily light guy (does he have a name?)))

Aaaaaaa I love making my characters full of trauma with a happy time ahead of them <333 hopefully this ramble isn't too incoherent lol I wrote it in one sitting. Anyway I love Sky!!!

bweird OCtober Day 9: Inventory!

Introducing a new (to y'all) OC today, my character in the game 'MySims: Agents' for the Wii: =TED+=! (yes spelled exactly like that)

Really he just started out as me being silly but he's got lore now so. Inventory and lore under the cut!

He's a private investigator down on his luck when the game begins, taking mediocre cases despite having been so convinced that he'd immediately make it big as a pi that it hurt his marriage. His wife left him and took their daughter with to another city, leaving =TED+= alone in his dream.

His face paint was the choice of his daughter, Helen- (yep spelled like that lol), when they went to the carnival for the last time. He never washed it off since, it's very important to him!!!

He's bald because. Well. He's older than most. And he's had a lot of stress lately okay! It looks good on him!

This is just a few of the items you get during the game and a few personal touches. From top to bottom:

- his phone! Gotta have it for sending people out on missions, and for checking every hour to see if his ex-wife texted him back yet.

- the Detector: a tool made for him by the agency he ends up working for in the game! It replaced his dinky old magnifying glass.

- Pencil and notepad: essential for casework. In the back are some doodles from when he would bring his daughter out on cases.

- the F-Space Manipulator: a high-quality tool made for Ted by the brilliant Dr. F, replacing his beloved crowbar and allowing him to change the world around him for investigation!

- the Techno Tool: another tool given to him by the agency, wait no this one replaces his beloved crowbar... And it's essential for getting spare parts!

- a protein bar: as a pi/detective, always gotta have a snack for the go! You never know when your next meal will be..... (He does. He thinks saying that makes him cool and mysterious. It only slightly does.)

- pictures: one of his daughter's first day of school, and the other from the day at the carnival. He really misses her....... But neither of the two pick up the phone anymore...

That's all for now! Bonus: my favorite lines of his from my playthrough:

Aaaaand him in all his glory! (Also my ref image):

bweird OCtober Day 30: Memes

Okay I saw this one and HAD to draw it with Lutanatar and Corrak, this is probably in the modern AU (phones...):

And I had to do a little edit of an image of them as cats for a lil extra, this is them with Nyx (Lutanatar's niece):

Source images under the cut ;)

bweird OCtober Day 17: (magic) / serene / palate challenge

Decided to switch things up so I drew this one in magma (sorry if it seems very pixelated)! This is Talin, the character on the far right of the 'Fav OC' drawing from day 3 (wow we're already halfway through the month.......)

Like I mentioned there, Talin started out as a character I made to be my Apprentice OC in The Arcana, but since I fluctuate in and out of participating in most of my media interests so much, she's become a general OC, related to the world of Gabe and a few of my friend's OCs.

Magic is in parentheses because while the art doesn't really have to do with it, I imagine that Talin does witchcraft as a hobby when she's not working or trolling on the internet (lmao). Mainly as a nod to her Arcana self, who definitely knows magic.

On quieter days, Talin likes to read in her apartment's window nook. Also today was a cozy day for me so I wanted to depict that in this drawing! It's serene! And cozy! For once no sadness...

first drawing of Talin and some lore from both of her iterations under the cut! (IT'S A LOT BEWARE)

Very first Talin drawing!!! Talin looks way different now which is pretty typical of me when designing characters.

Now for the lore:

- Arcana Talin is of course the player, basically, she's Asra's apprentice and really is just a character I made so I could finally play the story from another perspective (really not, Talin is just me in the story. Not a self insert but like. We make the same decisions.). Her eyes became red after dying from the plague and being revived, like Julian's eye but. Reversed? I don't really know lol. I think the best justification is that the eyes are small evidence of the revival spell used on them haha. Her colors are the way they are because of a line Nadia says during the Coliseum section of Asra's route, where she says the pendant Asra gives you really suits you (and Talin's colors all complement green). Uhhhh yeah that's it I think lol not much development here

- Friend world Talin ... I'm pretty sure she works at a coffee shop as a barista? And if she needs the money she works in a flower shop or a botanical garden (she studied that stuff!) Part-Time. The way I'm connecting her Arcana lore to her other self (AU I guess? As in her Arcana self is the AU at this point lol) is that she either has chronic fatigue or chronic pain OR she got extremely sick as a child and spent a lot of time in and out of hospital (maybe both?), the connection is the being ill at some point (I think I'm leaning towards the first option... Or a combo.. Oh well have to lore develop Talin some more!)

Also, like I mentioned above, Talin also likes to do a little bit of trolling (Gabe's younger brother is a 24/7 streamer who uploaded his consciousness to twitch lmao) on E-Bert's streams, and she's constantly making alt accounts to continue the trolling. She used to go to school with Ezekiel (E-Bert) and really hates what he did (uploading) but still cares about him so she trolls.

And she does hobby witchcraft (maybe has a lil etsy store!), and maybe tarot readings on the side! (Again connection with Arcana here, the tarot...)

ANYWAY WHOA that's a lot of ramble. Thanks for reading!

bweird OCtober Day 27: Re-Design

Oh boy you all are in for a TREAT!

Today I decided to redesign one of my first OCs, Avem, as well as redoing his story. So, I'll drop the art here, and have the lore and original design below.

To the left, we have Celestine (more on her in a bit), and the redesigned Avem on the right!

He keeps much more of the original inspiration in this new design--for one, the bat ears!!!!!!!! And c'mon I can't not give characters long hair.

Lore and old art under the cut :3

Alrighty so first off, the oldest art I have of Avem:

He was a sort-of vampire bat inspired character (ft. The hairstyle I gave literally all of my OCs back then *stares at Gabe* the only survivor...) who lived in a living house in some forest. Celestine back then was just a butterfly-inspired robot girl and that's quite literally all I remember of her, I never drew her before today lolol. I made these characters for a choose-your-own-adventure story I never really worked on/finished but I really liked Avem so I tried to redo him a few times (more recent art):

(I actually really like the first one lol maybe that's his hairstyle at some point)

But! It never really stuck, so I thought: what better way to fix it than redo his (and Celestine's) entire story! The general idea is below.

--- --- --- --- ---

There is said to be a house, a single house deep, deep within the wood surrounding [town]. For millenia, it has been a source of rumor, speculation, and scary bedtime stories told to children so that they may stay out of the forest.

The woods are infested with faeries and creatures of myth and myst. One wrong step, word, or move, and you will be bound, bound to the forest and to the creatures within.

Avem--long, long ago, he was a young adult, who, in his pride, got lost in the woods while trying to prove a point to- who? He can’t remember, not anymore. A chance encounter with a powerful faerie—the overseer of a large section of the wood—gone wrong led to him being cursed, cursed to live how he truly was, a cruel, selfish monster, for the rest of their days (they must have unexplained beef lol). For decades after decades, he roamed the woods, growing more and more monstrous as time went on and his anger, his rage, his regret, grew. Many, many people were lost to the woods during this time, since as he grew more monstrous, he also grew hungrier. (I haven't thought out his monster design yet, it's a mix between vampire bat and characteristics of mammals)

One day, one fateful day, he comes across a house in a secluded part of the woods. Not thinking much of it given his condition, he tried to move on but to no avail—any direction he wandered led him back to the house. As the days passed, he grew hungrier and hungrier, weaker and weaker, until he couldn’t go on. As a last effort, not even beknowest to him at that point, he laid down at the bottom of the steps leading up to the house (to die, he thought. So dramatic, I know).

But then, he wakse up inside the house, more humanoid than he’s ever been in decades, surrounded by four walls that, despite seeming just like normal walls, felt like they were staring back at him. Without any memories of who he was before, and sparse memories of his time as a creature of the woods, this seems to be a fresh start for him. But the faerie that cursed him is always in the back of his mind, so, at the start, he is extremely mistrustful of both the house and…

Celestine--An automaton built long ago, Celestine has been taking care of the house in her creator’s absence. It’s been decades since her creator went away, leaving the home and Celestine to fend for themselves in the wood. Both Celestine and the house draw magical energy from the forest air to live, Celestine through the Celestine crystals (lol) that make up her core (obscured by her dress, in the center of her chest) and the house through solar panel-esque things on its walls and roof also made of celestine crystal.

She and the house sense when someone enters the area around the house—only Celestine knows the path through the woods that can bring you past the mysterious forcefield that surrounds the house (neither she nor the house have any idea where it came from, but over the years Celestine learned a consistent path through, to get to [town] when needed).

She practices practical magic, because while she is imbued with pure magic to exist in the first place, that doesn’t mean she knows how to access the magic in the crystals for any other use.

--- --- --- --- ---

Yaaay that's it for now! I really do like this story (especially now that I could FINALLY build in some Panna a Netvor and Beauty and the Beast elements through Avem >:3 I really enjoy those tropes and films), but I can already see it going back on my back burner because of my main guys (Lutanatar and Corrak ofc <3)

I want to think out Celestine a bit more tho, I really really like her design and inspiration! Butterfly-themed character my beloved <3

OCtober Day 2!!! Old OC

...sometimes you want to just chill without needing to have an arm attachment on...

(I imagine this is him chilling at some sort of friends and family event (mainly friends since ... Well ......))

-----

This is Gaaaaaaaaabe <3 my lovely little guy that I've had since forever (2019) and I love him with all my hearttt

He's never had a story I've written or done anything with, though my friend and I have put him together with one of their OCs and they're roommates :333 so that's his story! He's been working night shifts at a warehouse since the... Incident...........

BONUS: The earliest art I can find of him (needless to say he's changed a lot since his first iteration)

Imaginary bonus points if you can guess who he was initially inspired by (Hint: A villain from an animated movie made by a company that unfortunately has since shut down)
