I’m so happy with how they all turned out :33

I def needed more practice with side profiles, and it came out perfectly

*rising from the dead*

Finally getting to designing my nevermore ocs Specters, I rly liked how they turned out. I rly like doing research about myths and legends so they were rly fun to design. Gonna have to do full bodies soon!

Imma put some progress sketches cuz I think it's fun to see the process.

Slava Specter: Firebird/Златна Птица (neutral) Slavic mythology

-Powers: Calling Song (blue diamond type of shit); Eternal Flame; Feather whiplash

Even Specter: Headless horsewomen (malevolent) Scottish legend

Powers: Alluring lure; Slight of hand; Ghost rules

Otoya Specter: Onryo (malevolent) Vengeful yokai

Powers: Silent step; Circle of truth; Petrified stare

Achak Specter: Wendigo (malevolent) Algonquian beast spirit

-Powers: Beastly senses; Shadow figure; Voice mimicry

Progress Sketchs with the alternative designs

just had the thought of a rock band that consists of an extremely flamboyant frontman + his bandmates who are all clearly running trains on him and fighting over his affection

timing is a bit off but theres this trend going on on tiktok with this song and also my history teacher had us write a letter from a soldier to their loved ones and i got a bit too carried away so. here's a fuckton of tragic war ocs that will probably never get too much content.

anyway i love kate bush and hate war

having a bunch of "historical OCs" as a kid and being into SPN as an adult is so wild bc like-

I'll be sitting there, minding my own damned business, not even tRYING to get into Cas Kinfeels at ALL

and then suddenly I remember some random Lore about the ~13th century Christian pilgrim OC I had in ~4th grade and its like getting WHACKED into Casmode remembering something about a vessel from ~800 years ago. Like "wAIT. I HAD A HORSE. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I FELL OF A HORSE. AND IT WAS AWFUL. I DIDN'T KNOW HUMAN LEGS COULD BREAK LIKE THAT"

and then you remember that your OC's horse's name was "Cinnamon" (see: 4th grade) so now you're tempted to go down a research rabbit hole on if this person could have know what cinnamon was and what word they would have used for it

despite this being information I will use *checks notes* never

....also how the FUCK have I been Like This(tm) MY WHOLE LIFE and only thought about majoring in Archeology LAST SPRING

I don't think I ever posted this on here but I redrew an old drawing I made back in 2018 when I was still deep into my historical OCs... Until I lost inspiration and motivation to do anything with them LOL

There are quite a few reasons why (started my voluntary social year, so I didn't have much time in the first place among other things) and I never really knew what exactly I wanted to do with them but lately I've been thinking about them again 🧐 I think I might set their story in 1919/the beginning of the 1920s if I ever decide to do more with that idea

Idk if anybody even remembers them because most of the things that I did post are on deviantART and I never really posted any "lore" 😂

A punk, a scene kid, and a goth walk into a haunted house- /silly

Half assed the background, but I’m so happy with how this turned out

Hey guys I found some concept art for an abandoned Rankin Bass special...was probably abandoned for the best.

(sketch of Lord Pelvis and Lady Bubonic in that kind of Rankin Bass puppet style while I had a bunch on it on in the background for fun)

making historical ocs: 80s nerd and punk!

the nerd is a film fan who makes his own movies, and the punk is his bf who stars in them!^-^
