Day 31 of OC-Tober is In A Costume, aka, HALLOWEEN

Alt version + Prompt List \/

Yeah it's 3am, already November 1st, I was busy playing REPO with some friends BUT I already spent enough effort on this drawing that I really wanted to finish and post it.

What I drew was Zayn and Nitro dressed as Mr. Puzzles and Mr. WPNZ from SMG4, and I would like to clarify that I did have what I was gonna draw for each prompt already planned out before October began so this was already planned, and isn't correlated to SMG4 ending soon ;-;

Zayn is WPNZ for obvious reasons, and while Nitro doesn't really fit Mr. Puzzles as his normal self, when he's Slade (Villain self) then he fits pretty well. I actually like how both the outfits look on them, even though Mr. WPNZ was a pain to draw because of all the details.

Safe to say, this is the first time in 2 years that I've been able to do over half of a prompt list, and it was nice to be able to draw different characters other than these two for a while. However for the next 3-4 months I'm probably gonna draw exclusively SMG4 fanart to cope so expect a lot of that when I'm not drowning from finals.

OC-Tober Day 13: In a Meme

Original Meme + Prompt List \/

I don’t know if this counts as a meme but it was a trend for artists for a little while, and I had this sketch left unfinished so here are my three favorite characters that are practically the same person three times. I would have had SMG4 instead of SMG3 in the passenger seat, but I thought that SMG3 fit the vibe more, so here he is. Honestly it felt really good to draw SMG3 again, especially since I’m getting some more SMG4 Fanfic ideas as of late 👀

But yeah unfortunately I have a very clear type of character that I like, and my top three are a gay edge lord, an ex-Mario recolor, and a fucking coin. Also Nickel’s face is based off of the really angry face Baseball made in S2E12 when he was all emo from Suitcase accidentally eliminating Nickel because it’s one of my all time favorite faces from II lol

I was also planning on doing a version featuring my humanized design of Nickel but I did not feel like putting more time into this, plus I think it’s funnier that they get less human as you go from driver to passenger to backseat (SMG3’s technically just a program when you look back at the genesis arc isn’t that crazy?).

Day 1 of OC-Tober: Favorite OC

More variants + prompt list \/

It couldn’t be more obvious who that is for me. When I’m running through ideas in my head, it’s usually him as my testing dummy. When I’m testing out something new for an art project, he’s usually the first thing I draw. When I’m frustrated or upset about something, I put him through something similar just because. Zayn truly is a comfort for me and has been since I first made him in 2019. I’ve put a lot of effort into him and his story and I’ve still got a lot to do for him.

I got a damn migraine today so I couldn’t finish this until like 11pm, therefore I was a little lazy with Zayn for his lineart and shading. I tried doing a perspective thing with him but, again I got lazy. I knew that I wanted to have a collage of a bunch of art I made of him in the background, this is all digital stuff (minus 1 thing) from 2025-2023, which is only a small fraction of all the drawings I’ve made of him.

So I was hoping to do smg4tober this year, and I did see that someone made a prompt list, but I had already found this one from @ nekolmart_2.0 on instagram that caught my interest, and I had already spent 2+ hours writing up a list of EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER that I’ve made so I can have a much wider variety for this month, plus I’m already getting fucked by college so I think I can only stick with one list this year anyway. At least I don’t have a job on top of school this time. But anyway yeah this prompt list is cool so go check this person out for their art and list.

TW Flashing lights on the Speedpaint! OC-Tober Day 5 is Fantasy AU

Alternate versions, Speedpaint, and prompt list \/

Surprisingly enough, Ashley and Emerald already had fantasy designs from when I made some DND AU stuff for some characters four years ago, with Ashley being a princess and Emerald being a half-dragon…despite the fact that she was already a mermaid. Their brief story for a fantasy AU is that the princess has been taken away by the dragon at an abandoned tower, locked away until a chosen prince is able to rescue her. That’s at least the story that the king and queen believe. Ashley ran away from her arranged marriage and ended up finding a tower that was seemingly abandoned, but she soon discovered a dragon lived within it. Or, a half dragon more like. She begged her to allow her to stay, and Emerald agreed. She now helps fight off any princes or knights that come after the princess. Then they fell in love the end.

Emerald and Ashley are some of the oldest characters I have, making them just after the first 5 of the Electric Blades cast in 2020, then I promptly forgot about them because I got super obsessed with Zayn and Nitro.

I found some cool brushes to use for this (and by that I mean I’m lazy and did what seemed the quickest) and did not feel like doing my usual shading because that would have taken too long being that I have 2 full body characters instead of one here. I still love this though, I found a cool breakdown of armour so I finally drew some that doesn’t look like total crap.

Also here’s the Speedpaint for the first 5 days because I did them all on the same canvas. Procreate’s page assist makes it feel like a little booklet and I like that, especially for these prompt months

Day 2 of OC-Tober is Newest OC

Alternates + Prompt List \/

Still had a migraine today but here’s a drawing of my newest character, who I’ve nicknamed Cotton Candy, or C.C. (pronounced Cece). This is actually a character that I’ve bought from someone because I loved their design so much that I jumped on the opportunity to get them while they were available. I bought them this past June, so I’ve only had them for a few months, not really much to say for them. They look super cute, and I was considering having them as an Electric Blades Creation but I have no idea for what to do for their story.

I got homework and some other things to finish this weekend but hopefully I can still keep updated with this.

Day 4 of OC-Tober is Most Neglected OC

Alternate Versions + Prompt List \/

Okay…so if you thought that Zelia originally being a roblox roleplay character wasn’t cringe enough, this character was a randomized gacha life character that I drew up because I liked the colors and design. No you don’t get to see the original and I am not recreating it because I refuse to redownload it just for that. I only drew Enzo once and then he was completely forgotten. But because I didn’t want to touch him for being a gacha life character, I figured that makes him the most neglected and that there’s no way I would draw him again. I was wrong.

There are Creations that are made just to be someone else’s entertainment, like colorful “aliens” that work and live in a space themed amusement park and that is basically all they know in their lives. These people, however, know that they are being fed a script, because they have to be able to break character when not doing any acting roles. But what if there are Creations that live in an isolated world and are being fed a false narrative about the world itself? An entire village, filled with Creations that are given remnants of an “old world” with a prophecy. On the inside, these people’s lives are engulfed by this story of the world, but on the outside, there are directors and scriptwriters pulling the strings of this experiment to see how they could get the most accurate reactions and performance. But someone in the village has found something strange: a hidden camera within the walls. Instead of trying to convince everyone of a prophecy being true, Enzo has to convince everyone that everything they’ve been led to believe has been completely fabricated, still coming to terms with the fact that his own life is nothing but lies.

This is basically an alternate take of the Truman Show concept (I have not read or seen it btw), so I might do more with this concept because I’m getting into it.

Day 3 of OC-Tober is Oldest OC

Alternate versions + Prompt list \/

Zelia has been around for almost 10 years, so she’s been with me through a lot, but I didn’t start actively using her until 2020, and here’s her origin story:

In 2016 I created the name Zelia (I did not) which I thought sounded really pretty, and I loved the color blue, which is all I needed to make my first role playing avatar in RoBlox Highschool where I role played with myself (more pathetic than it sounds). I also didn’t have any robux for outfits and didn’t realize for that game it wasn’t required to use whatever clothing items you wanted which is why she only wore the free stuff. She was then abandoned because I wasn’t really into roleplay games with people I didn’t know.

For a brief time in 2018 I had reused the name and blue skin for a different character who honestly had nothing too her beyond daddy issues and being a badass princess. The transparent hair was…a choice.

In 2020 my friend remembered my old Roblox avatar and made a gacha life version of her and I was so embarrassed and angry at him that I decided to revive the character in my own way out of pure spite (you know who you are), so unfortunately I have him to thank for Zelia’s comeback. It was here that I introduced her as Zayn’s butch lesbian best friend from high school who had no powers but made up for it by being a skilled martial artist. Part of their dynamic was how they both defied their gender roles in opposite ways to rebel against their strict private school they attended, so she wasn’t really into femininity.

In 2022 I decided to make her trans instead and see where that would take me. I had to rewrite some parts of her story and I’m so glad because I do love her so much as a character now. I also realize that a lot more things stayed the same about Zelia throughout each redesign than I realized.

OC-Tober Day 22: Favorite Possession

Alternate Version + Prompt list \/

This is one I definitely didn’t want to miss. I couldn’t think of anything for a possible Favorite Possession other than Nitro’s locket. When Nitro had to leave home, he wasn’t able to keep a lot of stuff with him, but one of the few things that remained was his last photo of him and Lilac together. Luckily, he’s able to move in with Zelia shortly before the beginning of Electric Blades. During their first Christmas together, Leila gets him a heart shaped locket to put the photo into since it was getting pretty beat up and he had no more copies. If he didn’t feel so numb that day he probably would have cried. He ends up making a copy of the photo and puts another one of him and the rest of his friends in on the other side. He would wear it everyday, often touching or holding it for comfort, but very rarely opening it. That is, until it gets destroyed by the one who ruined his life.

For context in case it isn’t clear, the photo on the left is of Nitro and Lilac as teenagers, and the photo on the right, from top to bottom and left to right, is Tobias, Zelia, Nitro, Ember, Luce, Leila, and Zayn.
