It's done! Couldn't resist drawing a little Hogwarts AU once I realized I had one kid per house, it fit too perfectly. Harry Potter is a series very close to my heart, so expect it to pop up here every now and again, heh.⠀ ~* ☆*~⠀ #asteriaocs #deadkidgang #dkg #queercomics #queerart #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalartist #illustration #procreate #procreateapp #originalcharacter #harrypotter #harrypotterfandom #hogwarts https://www.instagram.com/p/B4iLQ2ZqH6X/?igshid=5tyhqd2vwkry

Working on a slightly bigger piece and feeling a little burnt out from it. I decided that whenever I have art block I’m gonna practice shading cubes, aka my Art Blocks! Keeping momentum is the biggest thing I struggle with so hopefully this will help me out while I’m feeling tired and uninspired ☺️ ~*☆*~ #drawingpractice #artpractice #shading #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalartist #illustration #procreate #procreateapp https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dRT67FDGn/?igshid=6i12xtsz804r

Finally Ophelia! She/her, nonbinary, pan. Ravenrin, Good, INTP, Cancer. Phe’s the oldest out of everyone, but is happy to let someone else do the leading. She’s creative and bubbling with enthusiasm for things that truly grab her interests. Unfortunately, she’s the one I know the least about so far (but her design might just be my favorite). ~*☆*~ #asteriaocs #dkgphe #dkgophelia #deadkidgang #queercomics #queerart #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalartist #illustration #procreate #procreateapp #originalcharacter #zepeto https://www.instagram.com/p/B4YFSk6lBcv/?igshid=10a4g6tkgsnsl

It’s Maia! They/them, agender, bi/demi, Aspie. Huffledor, Chaotic Good, INFP, Aquarius. Second youngest of the group. Maia is, and always has been, the most (obviously) closed off out of the kids. Many would consider them rather aloof or reserved, but while that’s true on the surface, the crew knows them well enough to know that isn’t completely the case. Maia is fiercely loyal and protective. Their friends are the most important people in the world to them, and they’d quite literally do anything to keep them safe.⠀ Originally intended as a self-insert for things, I decided to make them their own character not long after. Maia is the one I know the most of so far. Though their basis is very much me, I can’t honestly say they’re more like me than the others. Each of these kids relates to me very strongly in very different ways, and I hope you’ll stick around long enough to find out how!⠀ ~* ☆*~⠀ #asteriaocs #dkgmaia #deadkidgang #queercomics #queerart #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalartist #illustration #procreate #procreateapp #originalcharacter #zepeto https://www.instagram.com/p/B4P_Vd1qQKo/?igshid=ihylfyl9hiy0

Hey, Nova! He/they, genderfluid, pan. Gryffindor, Neutral Good, ENFJ, Aries. He's the baby of the four (though only by two months) and lovingly puts up with the teasing because of it. Nova's one of the best for getting things done, as long as he isn't underestimated and held back. Definitely the most outgoing and incredibly empathetic, despite dealing with chronic pain. He's got a spot very close to my heart.⠀ ~*☆*~⠀ #asteriaocs #dkgnova #deadkidgang #queercomics #queerart #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalartist #illustration #procreate #procreateapp #originalcharacter #zepeto https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VeE7rKA8K/?igshid=1w3j1osvlruzf

Meet Rhea! She/her, trans, bi. Slytherclaw, Lawful Good, ESTJ, Virgo. Second oldest of the group, but oldest of her siblings. She’s charismatic and intelligent, maybe a little too uptight when it comes to herself, and driven almost to a fault. Probably the most responsible, and definitely the most organized of the crew, she seems a natural leader once she takes the reins after a plan goes horribly awry. ~* ☆*~ #asteriaocs #dkgrhea #deadkidgang #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalartist #illustration #procreate #procreateapp #originalcharacter #zepeto https://www.instagram.com/p/B4NlBJRlGNx/?igshid=1kkie7bza99w2

Finally a finished piece of the kiddos! Over the next few days I’ll be posting some headshots of these four with a little introduction— let me know who you want to meet first! Clockwise from top left is Maia, Phe, Rhea, and then Nova 😊 ~* ☆*~ #asteriaocs #deadkidgang #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalartist #illustration #procreate #procreateapp #originalcharacter https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GLjdMlZth/?igshid=79x7gfke1wsr

New icon! And of course as irony would have it, I’m now thinking of changing my hair 😅 I’m considering taking portrait commissions like this one, so stay tuned for a post about that in the next few days 👀 ~* ☆*~ #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalartist #illustration #procreate #procreateapp #portraitdrawing #commissionsopen https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wreKqFYdf/?igshid=1h8k0nt1v5cm

For our art trade, I asked @markavarme who their most neglected OC was and they told me it was this cutie, Wella! ☺️
~* ☆*~
For real though, she was so much fun to work on. I’ll happily trade kiddos with Holly any day.
