And here it is, an updated, 2025 version (or kinda 2026) of my OC lineup!! 🎯🩰🐈🌿🔪🐍👻 I mean to do these yearly, but the last one was from 2022 - so this was loong overdue. I'm so excited to show you all their updated looks + give some insight to how their stories have progressed the last 3-4 years.

it's a lot of small things combined but, the difference between how i drew connor at his inception vs now is kind of crazy. esp given how i made him at a time where i didnt think i had anything left to learn

i had my start online as a league fanartist, and i was specifically comforted by the pro scene as the many personalities brought me so much joy as a severely suicidal teen. today i learned one of my fav players back then, lauri 'cyanide' happonen, passed away in july at just 31 and im so, so upset

found this sketch i made of him in 2014. i drew this dude and his teammates aaaall the time. i remember wearing my fnatic shirt EVERYWHERe until it was smelly and gross. they got me through some rough shit. im extremely grateful i got to talk to him privately a few times. thanks for everything lauri

ADULT CONTENT LMAOOOO damN OK GEEZ guys dont hold each other thats too gay and raunchy for me :/

anybody else often think about your ocs being on a podcast. or like, online talk shows like hot ones or royal court? sometimes i also imagine them as guest judges on rupauls drag race

i needed a new pc in order to run it properly... - 3 years late but I FINALLY got to buy and play bg3 and i've really been enjoying it, especially playing with friends. naturally i made boris my tav and connor his guardian. i don't regret that choice in the slightest 🤠

also yes these are photos from my phone. yes i pull out my phone for every cutscene like its a concert THIS IS A MAIN EVENT BABY

the genderbend malfoy trend was REAL???????????? oh my god i seriously thought it was a joke. people are fcking airheads i swear to god, how can a whack ass drawing trend of a transphobe's character be worth more than trans people feeling safe

I really just wanted to draw a cute zombie girl, and then I got carried away and drew a whole comic! #monstergirls #vampire #werewolf #zombie #comicbookart

genuinely so obsessed with this commission i had to shittily print it out and frame it and put it on my desk just so i can maximize SEEING IT 😭 thank you so much for doing my pookies so much justiceggrrrr /slams head into wall

Commission for @dotswap.bsky.social with their awesome characters Boris and Connor🙏🩷 #art #commission

let this be proof that sometimes the best thing you can do for an illustration is to let it go for a bit and come back later

the left is not bad and it communicates boris' character well - but for this illust i wanted a balance of his sharp features with a more airy, innocent feel. i can tell how hard i was struggling because i just aimlessly put impressive hair curls everywhere to cope lol

been in an NDA hole lately and i will be for the next 2 weeks as well BUT... october.... get ready for me cos ive been having IDEAS..........

strong wording aside, you have nothing for you on twitter anymore. dont conform to using the vanity social media of the worst person ever to live for a few more bots liking your posts.

if you like pokemon at all and you’re an artist i would really recommend opening free packs daily on tcg pocket. the art on some of these cards have literally brought tears to my eyes LMAO the compositions and storytelling is out of this world!!!!

i love being infatuated with my own work. i love being able to entertain and excite myself all on my own. I think being able to enjoy your own company and being content with what it can do is an amazing thing to have.

i didn't really have friends growing up. ive been writing stories since i can remember, always with deep themes and personal meanings. i would share it sometimes but nobody ever really made the effort to understand it. it was lonely but enjoying my own company was almost a skill i came to hone

as an adult im weirdly grateful for it? so many people are terrified of their own company, of what happens when you let your mind run free. i love the people in my life but, it does feel nice to rest assured that, even if i'm the only one enjoying what im doing, im more than ok with that.

I can't stress enough the importance of making shitty things. Shitty writing. Shitty art. Shitty paintings. Shitty films. Shitty songs. Shitty sculptures. Shitty is beautiful, because it's human. There's no glory without shitty. Get out there and shit things up.

pookie 1 and 2 because i need some self indulgence lately… 🫠 i don’t know if im alone in this but seeing my ocs do really pedestrian things like, just… walking and standing there? it makes my heart so happy... like yes mr. dead inside and crow mutant man... enjoy a simple stroll!

rest in peace joey thank you for helping me through some of the darkest years of my life. 10 years wasn't enough, but I'll cherish every memory and i'll try to rest easy knowing you're not suffering anymore
