Tutorial on drawing characters/OCs who have some sort of facial paralysis. It doesn't cover all possible variants because I was using mirror as my main reference lawl

Keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People 👍

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do... research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

Abacus-Changji

she/her, it/its

New Kunlun only had the spare power to run a few Abacus systems, but the Feng clan managed to get one onboard. Abacus-Changji was meant to be the personal assistant of the Sol Fuxi, but he never used her as much as his sister Nuwa. She decorated it with ceremonial Feng clan garb and adjusted its personality to be a cheerful friend for her, especially after Fuxi's decline. Changji is Nuwa's personal jukebox, and records all her songs for later listening. She is also the one to wake up Nuwa and all her invited guests, a trust the Sol extends to telling her assistant all her worries and secrets no guest would understand. Changji does her best to be a positive force for Nuwa and help her ease her worries, and preserve her memory for as long as she is active.

Finally cracked and made a Nine Sols oc, worked very hard on this one! Wanted the outfit to ring similarly to Fuxi and Nuwa's. Some vague Miku inspiration in there, she's got an upbeat vtuber-esque disposition. The symbol on her charm is simply a "0", since it's the Chinese musical notation for a rest note.
