#thin man oc

[heljay]

I wanted to doodle my most beloved noodle bc I hadn't drawn her in a hot minute

Also because. Thin Men and forked tongues. How has the fandom not capitalized on this yet,

👽🐍 Anyway I have a Ko-Fi and there's stuff on it

A batch of XCOM OC refs! All entirely unrelated, but nevertheless characters that occupy a reasonable amount of my brain :'3 In order: Hester "Miracle" Morris, Rook, and Xan "Python" Ven!

Hester obviously took the most time; Rook is a very simple variant of the in-game archon, and Xan is tricky because these designs are basically outside of her actual canon story as I've decided it. Admittedly I keep questioning if I should kill her off as I intended when I first developed her, leaning towards yes, but I still wanted to give her a design for an AU where she lives.

draws some bikini babes for fun uwu

mostly my OCs, I always need to draw more EchiCargo

but also ft. Elena, dragged by Fuyuko, Elena is basically #FFFFFF and Mox is standing somewhere off-screen with sunscreen because god she's going to need it

Also if your Templar friend brings their gauntlets to the beach, really, don't worry about it :) Nothing's in the ocean to worry about at all :) nooooo problem

Anyway here's more Bond

Making you, personally, into a scalie, because there were nice clothes on pinterest I wanted to draw her in

[heljay]

You ever just crank out three OC refs in two weeks because the hyperfocus is so strong

Granted I have five XCOM OCs at this point but one of them dies with just the standard in-game design and more importantly these are the three I'm hoping to get ArtFight attacks for lmao

So! Bond, I've drawn her a lot. Cargo, not as much, but I've finally gotten the hang of her combat uniform so that helps. Less so her X2 design which is barely different from the in-game Warden Armor but eh fight me

Echi is, as you can see, very different from the canon Berserker. The idea for Echidna is that she was captured during EU/EW, by Cargo, back when Berserkers weren't sent out into combat naked. Moreover, Echi is the first of the alien captives to choose to trust and aid humans, and is the whole reason Cargo escapes HQ with her life; and drags Bond, along with those two other OCs, out with her. So once X2 rolls around Echi gets unique armour taking reference from the Warden Armor, the original EU/EW Berserker armour, and a bit of the Elite Muton armour. Her scarring comes from while she was still on the invaders' side.

Also by the time X2 rolls around, Cargo and Echi are married

So I went nuts using Bond to play dolly with outfits on Pinterest (+ her undercover as an ADVENT trooper)

Also just a nice excuse to have her present more femme, though she really does prefer her suits lol
