✦ OC askblog ✦ General OC shenanigans ✦ Comic & Toonocosm development ✦ Hello! I am a hobbyist, sharing my passion online. Please, be nice. Come watch me draw my weird looking OCs. The Toonocosm is my head world that a big portion of my OCs inhabits, and I use this blog to share art and thoughts about it. I used to have an OC ask blog many years ago, and I miss it. So I made a new one! Use the ask box if you want to interact. If you want to ask a character something make it clear which one you're asking.
Sometimes I toggle on "Hide blog from people without an account" option. So some links might not take you anywhere, depending on if I have it on or not.
I'm gonna play LumenTale for a while, but I'm commited to finish all the Mermay requests. Last one I finished was Oroya, go check it out in case you missed it.
Here's some sneak peeks! I got the next two sketched at least.
I'm gonna mermify one characters that starts with an S and the other one starts with a C :)c
However! A game I've been looking forward to since forever is finally releasing May 26th, so I'm guessing I'm gonna be a bit obsessed with that for a while.
The next request is done! But I'm sleepy, I want to look over it tomorrow with fresh, non-sleepy eyes. In the meantime, have this sneak peek WIP with my new kitty! I've had her for a bit over 3 weeks now.
Despite being a merm enthusiast, I've never drawn Api (my main blorbo) as one because I always thought it would look dumb. But I don't dislike this! He looks pretty cool!!
Art Fight added a new feature, you can describe the connections between characters now. Which I didn't care about at first, but I've had a lot of fun with it actually.
It's been a good way to get into the heads of all my characters and try to imagine what their perspective is of each other, because I did all the descriptions in-character. Each character is describing each other.
I have so many excuses to game, but I still choose to draw. Surely, I won't keep this up. Anyway, does this composition look nice? I want Lotl to be the focus.
I'm very happy to have finally managed to get that vent piece in my previous post out of my head. I've wanted to draw it for YEARS!! But I've not been okay and/or burnt out.
It's technically a vent piece, but it's a vent for a VERY BAD anxiety attack I had years ago. Which fucked up my system and mental for months, if not years. Tbh, I think I'm still trying to recover from it.
The ONLY help I've been able to find that gave any comfort was this article.
I was going through some old files, and I found this that I had kinda forgotten about. I think this is from 2020 or earlier. I know I was still depressed when I made it. I never posted it anywhere, because it was kinda personal, I guess.
It struck a chord with me; this is what I need to make more of. More conversations and expressions with Api and Lotl, aka the two sides of my psyche 🤪
Even during the depths of my depression, I knew I shouldn't pathologize my behavior and use it as an excuse to act on my ugly emotions. Even if it was a challenge sometimes, I couldn't afford to lose any chance for sympathy. I guess that is kind of what this comic was about.
