New reference sheet for my OC, Oscar!

Take a look at his updated design and his totally new drip! I can't believe it's been 3 years since I posted his reference sheet. Back then it was a major milestone for me, since it was both the very first reference sheet of an OC done by me, and a first reference sheet for Oscar, who became an icon/mascot to my socials.

With his updated ref done, I am looking forward to this year's art fight!

His updated character description under the cut~

He/Him

Small, naive, and mischievous, Oscar is a bratty harbor seal who won't give up on opportunity to cause trouble. He's known for pulling off variety of pranks, in the hopes of being perceived as "cool" and popular. Too bad everyone finds him cute and silly instead.

Oscar usually wears baggy and casual clothes, and anything that he deems it'd make him look cool and hip. He will often follow current trends, especially if they're trending among his friends.

For a seal he's uncommonly small, which further helps him get away with mischief, although he will get very angry when his size is brought up. Oscar is hot tempered and it doesn't take much to make him mad. But what damage can a small guy do during a tantrum?

Quite often the victim of his pranks happens to be his older sister, Diana. He's been causing her trouble since childhood, usually being able to get away with it, but there were indeed failed attempts or even revenges. Despite it all at the end of the day he likes her sister a lot, even if she's often too pushy.

Noah is his best friend and sort of a role model. It's not unusual to see the little guy in Noah's company, as both of them are labeled as troublemakers by the people who know them.

His next friend in line is Abigail, which he likes to play video games with. Her competitive nature does get on his nerves when he starts to lose, and thus she's a valuable pranks material next to Diana.

Oscar does his best to avoid Francis; small seal minds his personal space very much and the big guy likes hugging him way too often. Unfortunately poor seal boy is too small to escape his embrace once caught off guard. He always double checks for possible escape routes when messing with the big dog.

Sea doggos? You must be mistaken, I only draw land doggos

Oscar has a whole day to learn how to walk on land

Trying out new tablet!

release him

I've had my old wacom tablet for years and decided to try one with a screen. So far it's been.... quite difficult haha. Besides having to throw my current habits out the window, configuring the tablet was quite a challenge. The official drivers weren't consistent and kept restoring to defaults every time I plugged the tablet, and often the pen had an enormous offset. It didn't help that I flipped the display upside down to have buttons on the right side.

It will take some time to get used to this new device, but I hope it'll be worth it :)
