i’ve been working on rebooting one of my old projects , and im using the process of decay for inspiration for the plot/what happens to the main cast. hard part is that its supposed to have a happy-ish ending, and decay notoriously does not end well for the corpse..ehh i’l figure it out

welcome to my art/oc sideblog!

i also add alt text and content warnings to my posts, but not reblogs

im planning to make those ‘oc exploration prompts’ a series, ive got a lot more ideas and work-in-progress ones :)

i can also make images (like templates with the questions on them and space to answer them) if thats a thing people want

feel like my art hasn’t improved much this past year :( i don’t blame myself since i’ve been busy with my comic and mental issues but still makes me sad. idk need to find some fun way to improve my skills
