✨JUDGE ENTRY✨ Welcome to THE FINALE of @top.oc everyone! Okay, okay. So, I mayyy have hinted at some of the angst in Nike’s story throughout the competition. I’m not gonna spoil anything, but let’s just say the only real way to truly capture what haunts them is through surrealism. This piece is simply titled “Shattered,” and reflects upon how the innermost secrets of oneself might just be best kept hidden. Nike’s never honestly answered “what is your dream in life?” They’re afraid to. For a long time, they didn’t have a dream, and right now they’re scared to wonder if their dream as it stands now is truly what they want, or if it’s something totally different. Right now, though, they’d simply tell you that their dream is to be happy among friends and family, and it’ll take some time to see if that is their true answer or not. 💖 #topoclegacy #topoc21 #topoconyxmoon #mundusmutans #characterdesign #characterart #digitalart #digitalillustration #surrealism #surrealart #surrealistart #angstart #eldritchhorrorart #eldritchhorror #eldritch #horrorart https://www.instagram.com/p/CQYxl97F7pC/?utm_medium=tumblr

✨JUDGE ENTRY✨ Welcome to Round 4 of @top.oc everyone! Full pic is on Slide 2! This round is all about imitation, equipping yourself to do daring feats without your true identity being revealed! Nike was paired with the lovely Daya (@evlynhx) and they certainly were eager to try on some more comfortable clothing and play with the cool, high tech computing monstrosity that was recently delivered to the TopOC HQ, from an anonymous donor known only by their initials “RR”. That’s hardly where the mystery ends though, since Nike’s begun acting strange— more... unnerving. Is this really the Nike we know, or has something decided to imitate them instead? 🍪 for whoever guesses who it actually is! Bonus cameo by @itstabletoptime bc I definitely did not take inspiration from Xiang nope nada 😂 💖 #topoclegacy #topoc21 #topoc_om #mundusmutans #characterdesign #characterart #digitalart #digitalillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CPi40j3FKev/?utm_medium=tumblr

✨JUDGE ENTRY✨ Welcome to Round 2 of @top.oc everyone! Slight disclaimer, I finished this BEFORE Conny changed the prompt to add formalwear, but hey. I still completed my challenge 😂💖 The surprise today is that some of Nike’s family wanted in on the action! Meet Rasja (red) and Fermuni (green), the *two* ghostly dragons from ages past who are connected to Nike through their ancestral links! They’re basically Nike’s grandparents, and they wanted to say hi and gush about how well Nike has been handling all the stress and that it’s high time they introduced themselves. Ancestors and family memory are sacred to Dragonkin after all, and it’s the least they could do to honor the friends Nike has made. So, through channeling their link, Nike has brought them into semi-corporeal form to pose and answer questions! Ask away! There’s also a TON of info about the Dragonkin and Mundus Mutans in general on my website, if you’re interested! Link is in bio! 💖 #topoclegacy #topoc21 #topoc_om #mundusmutans #characterdesign #characterart #digitalart #digitalillustration #dragons #dragonart #ghostdragon #dragonmagic #fantasyart #fantasyartwork #fantasyartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2jpmJFGcW/?igshid=v5mfkyjz82zx

✨JUDGE ENTRY✨ Welcome to Round 1 of @top.oc everyone! Don’t worry, Nike had to get through Lee Norr and their terrible French accent as well. Let’s see how that interview went from the only clean corner of Scathe Academy’s botany lab: 💚 1. Q4 - What’s your favorite thing to do? “Outside of TopOC my favorite activities include alchemy and botany! They’re part of my schooling, but I still enjoy them immensely. I’ve made better friends with plants than some people, heh.” 2. Q5 - Who do you look up to? “Lots of people! Especially my friends and my teachers and my ancestors... really. All of them. But I probably admire Professor Scarletspear and Dragon Lord Aerious the most. They’re both frighteningly powerful and wonderful teachers!” 3. Q2 - What’s something that you are afraid of? “I... don’t really like going into detail. Reinforcing it gives it more power, y’know? Mostly it’s about losing time and experiences with people back home while I’m at school among... other things. Can we move on?” 4. Q1 - What’s your biggest achievement? “My biggest achievement? Aside from making it to become a judge and enrolling as a Scathe student— although that was out of my control *entirely*— it’s probably keeping the botany lab behind me here clean! This place gets so messy so quickly it’s hard to keep up sometimes.” 💖 #topoclegacy #topoc21 #topoc_om #mundusmutans #characterdesign #characterart #digitalart #digitalillustration #zoomcall #zoominterview #interview #qna #mundusmutans https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAes9FF_wm/?igshid=vjd50hk8jot7
