7: Do you have any OCs?

Oh man oh man I have a lot of OCs but I’ll just talk about my favs from two webcomic ideas I’ve had for a while:

So first there’s these three cheeky ronins: Tatewaki, Akio, and Shion (those aren’t their full names just their general nicknames for eachother). Set in late Edo period Japan approaching the Bakumatsu era, the story follows the bizarre adventures (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) of these three unemployed ronins trying to get by during one of the most tumultuous periods in Japanese history. With the whole civil war between the Satchō alliance and Shogunate happening in the background, these three losers solve serial killings of rice brokers, escort a kirishitan woman to find the execution grounds of her persecuted family, get roped into a yakuza family feud, attempt to exorcise ancestral goryōs while getting involved in Han politics and corrupt monasteries, confront the demons of their pasts, and of course, cracking shitty puns about Mochi over cool sake at their favourite izakaya run by the pseudo-narrator of the story, Kume.

Still thinking of the name but I’m thinking of calling it Tomomochi (友持ち) because all Akio does is say shitty puns and his first conversation with the other two when he invites them to eat mochi together has that pun (along with 腹持ち,長持ち, 持ちつ持たれつ, etc. please stop this man) 

Here’s Akio (left) and Shion again (right. also known as shurinosuke idk its  complicated) and yea i’m still unsure what their facial structures should be like or what style i should do but i love them.

More pics + 2nd webcomic idea under the cut because wow this is getting long:

The second webcomic idea is about a very down to earth Navy chaplain/pastor, Father Elijah, who finds himself in an almost cartoonish fantasy world and follows his adventures in trying to spread the gospel in this bizarre world. He ends up “hiring” a mercenary cowboy (as in literally half cow half man) who’s a staunch absurdist, Orsino Fischer, as well as gaining the admiration of an object-head kingdom’s ‘throwaway spare heir’ camera head princess, Kwannon. The three end up getting into stupid shenanigans that may or may not end up making or breaking diplomatic relations between massive kingdoms and countries.

Here’s a not so church appropriate draw of Elijah and some  a e s t h e t i c  Fischer btw:

i never finish anything i draw btw :’)
