*plays dress-up with my ocs like they’re dolls*

Except I couldn’t pick just one character so I dressed 3

3 probably very expensive tailoring jobs

And the other half of the dastardly duo: here is the playlist for The Master of Horseflies, Lord of the Marsh, Mother of Legions, etc etc.

I mean… the lyrics do fit really well for some reason

New pinned post!

Hello, my name is Sarita and this is my main/art blog. I am an asexual zoologist drawing random nonsense on the side.

Here on this account I draw furry art, sometimes creature design, and very rarely fanart of things I like. Everything’s usually SFW and when it’s not I put it under a cut. I never post anything sexually explicit but keep in mind that I am in my 30s, if that makes you uncomfy. I also reblog things that don’t really fit on my other accounts. Sometimes I post my pets. It’s kind of a mess here. If you followed this account because you saw one of my infographs or dinosaur drawings, please be aware that I no longer post them here but you can find them and other stuff like them at the sideblogs in the list below!

Here is a reference for all my OCs. Some are drawn more often than others (and some aren’t drawn anymore or much at all rip). All their tags are here at the bottom of this post so you can easily find more info about any characters that interest you!

You can also find me aaaaat…

It’s Christmas Eve, mate. Wot are you doing in a place like this, on a night like this?

(Also, Bruce, could you be any more obvious?)

[saritawolff]

Drew a series of pictures of my ocs riffing on a similar theme to get myself out of an art block. They’re messy and not the best cause I was still “blocked” for some of them, but it did help me get back in the swing of things! Can you guess what the theme is?

After years of being one of the only of my characters to not have a custom playlist cover, yet having the most songs of all of my characters, Bruce has finally got his own playlist cover. He just had a zoomed in comic panel until now 😅

It’s a little different from my other characters, who just have a portrait, but I knew The Master had to factor into this one somehow.

You can listen to Bruce’s playlist here:

Once Lord Christopher Coorthopp, an aristocratic vampire in late 17th century England, The Master was cursed by a witch in 1706 to take the form of a “biting fly.” Starting again from the ground up (quite literally) The Master refused to abandon his past. He learned to use his now dampened vampire powers, combined with the speed and tenacity of a horsefly, to become just a downright menace to both human and fly society. After a couple centuries as London’s lesser-known cryptid, he learned that the “Queen of Horseflies” lived in North America. And so, as vampires are often wont to do, The Master stowed away on a boat to America. While there, he located the queen, murdered her while staging it as a peaceful relinquishing of the throne, and has been hidden away in a fly-built castle somewhere in the salt marshes of the Delaware Bay ever since.

Since taking over the Horsefly Kingdom, The Master has organized the once solitary insects into The Swarm, and elected the queen’s former bodyguard, Bruce, as the new horsefly army’s general. It is yet unknown what he plans to do with his newly militarized kingdom…

On the surface, The Master is charming, friendly, and a bit of a goof. As The Master is rarely without a sleepy smile on his face, it seems to most outsiders that Bruce is the one actually running the show. As far as anyone knows, The Master is the charisma, while Bruce is the brains.

And The Master prefers to keep up that facade.

Actually conniving and sadistic, the bloated horsefly spends most of his time bossing Bruce around, hunting, and doing his darndest to get under people’s skin, both metaphorically and physically. When he’s not secretly eating other bugs (including his own subjects) The Master likes to return to his roots: luring humans deeper into the marsh with his charms (and an odd knowledge of human drugs), for either The Swarm to drain dry or to satiate his own lust for violence. Combining the speed of a vampire and the speed of a horsefly, The Master is able to shoot straight through humans like a living bullet… so unfortunately the witch that cursed him didn’t fully incapacitate him.

She just made him smaller.
