☆⭒Hello and welcome⭒☆

my name is Raccoon

artist, 21 years old, any pronouns, rus/eng

This blog is dedicated to my original characters and the world they live in called "Under Starry Skies". I really want to make something big to tell their story one day, but work on this is going slowly for now, as most of my time i'm studying in college. Untill then, i'll post sketches, art and mini comics of my OCs, and i hope someone will find it interesting.

Here you can read about main terms of the world and some information about the characters in short form: https://www.tumblr.com/understarryskiestmbrl/813143255523917824?source=share

There's also a version for russian speakers, but on telegram: https://t.me/raccoonsdrawings/300?single

❗Content warning❗

Sometimes story and art here might contain not friendly themes, like death, blood, physical and psychological suffering, etc. I will put warnings on posts like this, but it's needed to be adressed here anyway.

I'm also happy to hear question, if you'll be interested in something about this world, but some specific things related to deeper lore like the distant past of some characters might stay in secret or answered not fully, because i would like to keep the intrigue here for a certain time, hope you'll understand.

Overall, have a nice time here

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYONE!!!

I know I'm late but I didn't have time to draw something before, sry-

Also, i don't usually write personal stuff on the internet, but really want it this time. I live in a country, where celebrating pride openly is pretty dangerous, but seeing other people doing it in other places still makes me more happy. It gives hope that one day it will be like this in every corner of the world. We might not be alive when this happens, but we will make this day closer, and this is what important. I really want to send a lot of love to every queer person, who will see this post, you're doing great as long as you survive in this world, wish you the best of luck!

Also in slice-of-life au Vivi is a biological daughter of Marcus and Aurora, and since Marcus and August are best friends, their children would probably know each other. So Vivi and April also became best friends actually

I really like thinking about how much they are different, but still enjoy time together more then with anyone else

(translation for texts will be in Alt)

There also are their grown-up versions, something like 16-17 y.o.

...Oh they'll defenetly be more then friends one day

(Little doodle undercut)

(There will be both new and old drawings, don't look on lineart style change pls)

So i have a slice-of-life au with my ocs where everyone are human and no fantasy-like stuff happens, I revisit it sometimes when I want something grounded and comfy, but recently I accidentally created two characters for this au out of the joke-

I thought to myself "If August had a child he would name them like some other month, it would be so in character for him to make it a joke", so I sat down and drew him a daughter named April

(translation for texts will be in Alt)

But the thing is August isn't the person who would actively want to have children, not matter are their his biological or adopted, so I thought about his motivation here for a long time. And suddenly I thought "What if he fell in love with someone, who already has a kid, and he is slowly becoming the part of their family, even though in the start he was scared of responsibility of having a child, he would'n be able or willing to leave his loved one just because of this fear"

...So here's April's mom, Nova (short for November, because we are commiting to the bit fully), she is the editor at the same publishing house where August works as journalist, and I already imagined three seasons of drama about their love arc---

I'm so easily distracted from the main plot and main characters of my own stories omfg- but I already love both April and Nova so much that I had to share them here

Asked myself "Which cats from mewgenics would be my OCs favorite?"

Marcus is scared for his life, but the scare for his daughter is stronger

Made my dream come true and bought a tablet with a stylus. Feels unusual, but i still like the drawing process a lot

It's kind of strange that this two are best friends, but i almost never drew them together before

And just standing Zhenya, because i like how this doodle turned out

This art is from 2023, but i still kinda like it
