OLDER painting (FEAT. VOIIDHEARTER OC)

[yumenoyousei]

I asked for a commission of my DC OC Shay from @jnephrite and look at my girl!! 😭 She so pretty I can't even😭😭😭 Always loved @jnephrite art so seeing Shay in hers is a blessing 🙏🏾

And since the fic is almost halfway through posting, I thought, might as well introduce Shay properly! EDIT: the fic, Awaking in Gotham, is now completed!

EDIT: More art of Shay + art of a scene from fic

Full name: Shay Michelle Frank (♀) Occupation: Graphic Designer / YouTuber Height: 5'9"  Birthday: September 16th  ☀Virgo 🌙Aries ⬆Aquarius Proud African American/Haitian & Gothamite  Hobbies: Poetry, Arts, Rap/R&B music, help the Gotham North Community Center, Discover new artists (both musically and visual arts)

Shay was born and raised in Gotham, close to the infamous Crime Alley, by her maternal grandmother, Marie-Monique "Manmi Mo" Antoine, and with her 3 years older brother Zachary "Zee" Frank. Her mother died of childbirth (she had had complications with Zee which was why she was hospitalized when pregnant with Shay) so her whole family distrusted the American health system. This is why when her grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, they didn't go to the hospital and only went to the illegal clinic. (Also; money.) Her father is unknown. 

Ever since young, she went to the Gotham North Community Center, mostly run by the Black and Latinx communities of the Crime Alley neighbourhood. Her grandmother would teach the children about mostly Black literature but also all sorts of arts which is why Shay is such a creative person. That's also where she met Jason Todd for the first time when she was around 4-5.

Her brother very early on started to "run the streets" and started to hang out with bad crews, but always had his heart on his sleeves. He just couldn't find other ways to get money to make sure Shay had the right education/a chance away from crime.

Her grandma died when she was almost 17 and her brother died not even 4 weeks later (2 weeks after her 17th birthday) because of a dispute between gangs. (Allegedly) 

After her grandma and Zee died, she went to live in Metropolis with her second-degree cousin, Jennifer Antoine, until she graduated from university. Even when in Metropolis, she would go as much as she could back to Gotham to see her people/help the center.

She started a YouTube channel talking about Gotham's art and musical scene to change people's persepective of Gotham after too many people at Metropolis U "pitied" her for being a Gothamite. 

As soon as she was about to graduate, she applied to work at Wayne Entreprise back in Gotham. She got a job as a graphic designer and moved back to her city.

At the start of the fic, "Awaking in Gotham", she is 22 and has been working at WE for almost a year.

Read more about Shay (and her love story with Jason) on AO3! (Trying to update every week!)

Random notes about Shay:

As I wrote in the fic's notes, the first reason for creating Shay was: who the fuck would stay in Gotham that isn't a criminal and/or a vigilante??

So I created a black girl who loves her community and sees all it could be while being very conscious of what it is and its dangers. Then I went, hey! she'd be good with Jason while I was starting my Jason Todd Thirst so obv my fic turned into romance. lol

The name comes from Belgian rapper Shay, Montreal-based singer Shay Lia, and Haitian Montreal-based singer Shah Frank. As I was creating Shay I was obsessed with all three of them and the name Shay Frank wouldn't leave me.

Ngl, I gave a lot of me to Shay; like her Haitian roots and GAD but very quickly she went her own way and grew in this character I'm proud of. I'd like to say I also gave her my music taste but she is way more into hip-hop than me and she rejects most of my pop playlists (sadly).

Because Shay was based on me, all her entourage I created is based on people in my rl. lol

I also absolutely wanted her to be friends with Bernard because I absolutely love Bernard (and Bat SO who are civilians? Tim and Jason bonding over the fact their SO are the only civilians in the Batfam?! So many fun things to do!!)

Zee is also a character that I love, based on one of my favourite cousins, and I got lowkey mad at myself halfway through that he was dead. So I have an AU where he didn't die in my head lol 

I'd like to write a oneshot of it when I'm done with this fic.

Last fun fact about Shay that I wasn't able to put in fic yet: all the rogues annoy her (mostly because they cause mayhem that cancel events) but she madly respects Poison Ivy because of her convictions and: "is she wrong tho?" 

I have a lot of other small notes about Shay and the Shay-verse but I'll post the rest when the fic is completed!

EDIT 2024-10-04: I completely forgot to add the link to the post fic notes! So if you read Awaking in Gotham do check those other notes!

OC Introduction - Hugo the lazy rat

Hugo is a fashionable rat who’s favorite pastimes are sleeping and wearing oversized sweaters. Despite his tiny size, he constantly makes people upset by saying what he thinks.

While Hugo is incredibly gay, it takes a lot to get anything more than an eyeroll out of him. The only boy who consistently turns Hugo into a blushing mess is his boyfriend, Rellow. The two go to great lengths to make each other happy, but sometimes cause trouble in the process.

OC Introduction - Gil the Inteleon Lifeguard

Gil is a pool lifeguard who has a reputation for being tall, handsome and extremely charming. He loves showing off more than anything else, and can’t help being a big flirt.

Gil sometimes tends to over-hydrate, which leads to him getting bloated with water weight. He doesn’t mind though, saying he looks handsome at any size.

It is a bit of a mystery what Gil does outside of his job, as he can often be hard to reach, even by close friends. He seems to have some other hobby that takes up his free time, but whatever it is, Gil keeps it a tight secret.

OC Introduction - Forrest

Forrest is a college professor and a biologist who is always experimenting on something or other. He’s made a number of gadgets that allow people to augment their size in some way. With help from his assistants, Rellow, Lax and, at times, Niles, he conducts his ongoing research.

Forrest is very popular among his students due to his friendly disposition and charming smile. He always gives it his all to help out others, though his ways of helping can sometimes be unorthodox.

Outside of his work, Forrest’s favorite things to do are read a good book and go hiking. If he’s at his home by himself, he’s usually naked, he enjoys being pantsless.

OC Introduction - Linn the Nerdy Sheep

Linn is a shy and anxious sheep who is a huge nerd when it comes to video games. He often spends his time at arcades and tends to pull multiple all-nighters in a row when a new game comes out. Linn himself is relatively well-kept, but his bedroom is a disaster zone.

Linn is sweet, but he’s also incredibly clumsy and blind without his glasses. Combined with his tendency to ignore other’s personal space, he ends up falling over on top of people often. More often than not, that person is Niles, who Linn has a poorly hidden crush on. Linn also has a tense rivalry with Lax, who he often competes with in fighting games.

OC Introduction - Guardian the Overprotective Armarouge

Guardian is a stoic and strong Armarouge who took a liking to a certain Drizzile after saving him from danger. Since then, Guardian has dedicated himself to protecting this Drizzile, even through… unorthodox means, and even when he doesn’t need it.

Guardian comes from a family of abnormal Armarouge that are taller and have stronger psychic powers than typical Armarouge. As serious as he is, GUARDIAN is gentle and caring and loves curry!

OC Introduction - Grim the Pangoro Biker

Grim is a biker and professional mechanic. He’s rough around the edges but not a bully, although he has a very short temper.

He often uses his burly body to fluster those he finds cute, then sweep them off their feet and keep them for himself. If he finds out an object of his desire has a kink that he can exploit, then he’ll tease them about it relentlessly. Though he’d never admit it, Grim is easy to fluster himself if you know what buttons to push.

The only thing he loves more than teasing small cuties is his boyfriend, Lax. The two are childhood friends who eventually ended up in a relationship when Grim confessed his feelings.
