Art! Fight me!!! >:)

Art Fight

An art gifting game

[quill-n]

Originally wasn't gonna post this, but I liked how it turned out!! and I love my OCs, so I wanna share!!

These are my favorite dnd characters that have a very special place in my heart. Most of them aren't from the same world, but I'm putting them all in the same party anyway!

[ID: An ink drawing of five fantasy/DnD characters together, seemingly ready to fight some unseen enemy off-screen. From left to right, Irvin (he/him, a half elf with long golden hair and a torn cape) wields a two-handed sword that he's preparing to swing, though his head is turned to look back over his shoulder with an almost annoyed expression. Stooped low beside him is Dahlia (she/her, a human woman with a mask covering her face and a muscular build), who has daggers in either hand and is focused and ready to dart forward and attack. Above them is Sybil (she/any, a scrawny dragonborn pirate, who is aiming her handgun with a wide grin. Next is Tellus (she/her, a tiefling with asymmetrical curved horns and thick hooves), who is knocking an arrow on her bow while looking towards the others in front of her. Behind them all of them is Quinn (he/they, a tall human with round glasses and a mechanical hand, dressed in typical wizard garb), who is readying some sort of spell while looking ahead to whatever they're fighting. Running next to them all is a small black cat with big round eyes and dragon wings and horns. The party is named "The Executioners." end ID]

(Side note: "The Executioners" is a placeholder party name for now. It fits the four on the left (not including my cat sona), but I tragically forgot Quinn was part of this until the last minute. Gonna come up with something more unique that encapsules all of them ^-^)

A couple new characters, just in time for Art Fight!!

I am SOOO oc-brained right now, man

[ID in alt text]

I also totally did not look at the original reference close enough and thought that there was a lollipop there. To be fair, I did this on like four hours of sleep -w-

[quill-n]

I said I'd draw more iiiv stuff but thinking about it gave me decision paralysis so I drew my dnd character Sybil instead ❤️

[ID: Sybil, a scrawny red dragonborn rogue with a prosthetic tail, sitting at the edge of a large bed. In one hand, she has an opened letter resting in her lap. Her other hand tightly grips a blue feather as she holds it closer to her face. She's staring at the feather intensely. end ID]

Babe, new II OCs just dropped

[ID: Object show OCs: a dark purple boombox stereo and blueprints. It's a page spread of these two; Stereo appears energetic and confident, and Blueprint seems more reserved and unfriendly. They also have two kids that appear on the page: a radio transmitter and a (guitar) chord sheet. Some notes in between the drawings say, "RHYTHM & BLUES," "they're doomed yuri I'm sorry," and "Happy family :)" end ID]

Loredump for them under the cut

SPOILERS FOR POST S2 FINALE UNDER THE CUT

Stereo (she/her) is one of the first characters mephone ever makes. Blueprint (they/she) is another early character, and is very close with Stereo.

Stereo is an incredibly carefree and reckless person, and she ends up dying before being assigned a melife icon. But it's like one of those characters that you come up with a concept for and then forget about— so mephone just genuinely doesn't recall her or even knows that she's gone.

But then she ends up coming back through the red line game. (This probably happens before Box's incident, so Box never met her either.) (Either way, now she's disconnected from melife. That's the important bit.)

(She also has a whole arc while in meafterlife that's basically learning to reign herself in, so once she get back, she's more careful about her own life and others.)

Meanwhile Blueprint is very closed off and standoffish towards everyone else, because no one is taking Stereo's death seriously. They don't join the game, but they're never disconnected from melife either.

She's lonely and uncooperative— a Blueberry prorotype. The isolation breaks them out of their code, and when Stereo comes back, the two of them decide to leave the island together. They go out and build an entirely new life for themselves

Because they spend so much time off the island, their personalities and the way they interact with the world is very different from the contestants that stayed.

(This part is just me running on the only semi-real headcanon that objects off the island have regular names): Stereo takes on the name Iris, and Blueprint takes Andy.

They also have two kids <3 The radio transmitter is named Jackie, and the chord sheet is named Wilson.

Then the s2 finale events happen— and Andy was never disconnected from melife, so she gets glitched out of existence, leaving the rest of her family confused and horrified at what just happened.

So the story then follows Iris traveling back to the island to try and figure out what happened and see if Andy can come back.

If you read all that, thank you I appreciate it <:] <3

Here's a couple extras:

Yes, their names are a Hozier reference. I thought of the ship name "Rhythm and Blues" first and couldn't just let it go. Jackie and Wilson is one of my favorite songs.

Stereo is actually one of my old object OCs I made in middle school that I never used for anything before, so it's Extra Fitting for her characterization now :)

Andy is a blueprint for Mephone's sailboat! (and you know what role that played in the finale. she's a blueprint for her own downfall~)

oc outfit trend from bsky :]

the outfit is revealing, so I'm putting it under the cut to not jumpscare anyone lol

[ID: Dahlia, a woman with pink, wavy hair, vitiligo, and burn scars on her right ride, wearing a skimpy black top with ribbons across the chest and connecting down to the lingerie bottom piece. Second image is the same drawing without shading. end ID]

couldn't decide whether I liked it shaded or not ^^

Happy Valentine's Day! Please have my silly little OCs ^-^

Using this post to introduce the small redesign I gave Quill :] Don't mind how messy this is btw.. I used a real quill and I'm still not used to it yet. Also my handwriting is generally bad lol, the poem transcript will be in the ID.

[ID: A short comic featuring two object OCs, Quill (he/they) and Steering Wheel (he/him), with the stanzas of a sonnet floating in the panels. It starts with Quill and Steering Wheel simply looking at each other fondly yet almost heaitantly. It then shows that they are at a train station, with the train already waiting there. The next panel, Steering Wheel is on the steps of the train car, smiling bittersweetly while holding Quill's hands, who himself is still standing on the station platform. The final panel shows the train leaving the station, already disappearing in the distance. The poem reads as follows:

How this must be what had been felt that day

The sinful fruit was eaten from the tree.

You host my thoughts and steal my mind away

To taste the freedom blessèd here to me.

If Sin is knowing our own reverence,

My punishment lies centuries ahead,

Yet all the Heavens can't compare to whence

Your fond devotion lingers in their stead.

So never shall I breathe a wary sigh

For fear of laying seldom near to you.

Exchange my sorrow from ev'ry Goodbye

With cherishment divine you shall endue.

My Darling, for your sanctity I yearn.

O, Railway, come deliver our eterne.
