Redesigning my alien OCs to actually be more than just "humans with long ears and funky colors", since my art skills have been improving 👀

[queencherryberry]

So this is the first of many OC “Reference Sheets” for characters in the Brothers Bestfriend universe.

So this character in the original storyline has not been born yet but she will be born soon. Her name is Ashley Marie Rhodes-Martinez. She’s 26 and looks like a carbon copy of her father Cody, just more feminine. She is the second oldest out of 8 biological siblings and one adopted sibling that is biologically her cousin/step-daughter. She has a more older sister bond with said sibling over anything else. Ashley is commonly known by her nickname Ash. Or as her husband calls her: Mariposa. She is married to none other: Damian Priest/Luis Martinez. She and her husband have been married for 5 years, they have 5 biological children together. Tyler-3yr, Alexander & Alejandro-1.5yr (twin boys), Mateo & Elle- 2 months (twin boy/girl) and Maria-12 yr (from Damian’s previous relationship). Ash started out as Damian’s physical therapist after her aunt divorced him and had a psychotic breakdown pushing him down a mmmmm flight of stairs. Ash has a degree in the medical field but after a horrific incident involving a serial killer-like ex-coworker she was instructed by Damian to be a stay at home mom and go to therapy for her trauma. Ashley’s past relationships are a very short list that only has one name on it before Damian and that is Austin Theory. The age gap between Ashley and Damian doesn’t bother them. It does however, confuse their children who think it’s weird that their father is older than their grandfather: Cody. Ash does regularly attend online therapy and takes anxiety medication. She has been recently given a job as Judgement Days manager following Rhea’s orders. She’s been managing the group for 2.5 months. Ash has ADHD and is slightly autistic. Damian puts up with it and he’d deliver the universe to her if he could. Ashley has dark hair that fades into an ombré purple. She doesn’t dress as revealing as Rhea does, she usually sticks to skinny jeans and oversized blouses when she’s seen backstage with the group and at home she dresses in whatever she feels comfortable or whatever turns Damian on. Ash is the equivalent of the goth kid's peppy best friend. Ashley stands at an adorable 5’ 1.5” compared to Damian’s 6’6” gigantic figure. Ash is the definition of the shy girl who is a real ‘freak’. Ashley has 3 tattoos: a cheese wedge that belongs to a matching set with her younger sister Riley who in return has a noodle tattoo representing Mac n cheese; another tattoo resides on her ribs and it lists her and Damian’s children’s birthdays and names; and the last tattoo sits on her lower back just above her ass with the words:El sol de Papi- Damian’s favorite tattoo of hers. Ash at first comes off as the spoiled Daddy’s girl but after having her own family she’s mellowed out.

(Best I could do with the limited editing tools I have. If someone is able to help me make this look more feminine I greatly appreciate it.)

[honeybyte]

Can you explain all your OCs and worldbuilding in detail? I've always seen these beautiful drawings and sketches of your character is based on song lyrics and stuff, but I've never really figured out much from a cursory scroll of your blog

OKAY i'm gonna take this as an invitation to spill my guts abt my verses. so let me start by saying these get tweaked all the time, little details might change but generally once i settle on a plot it typically stays the same. And, for the most part, these are all outlines w scenes and A》B subject to change. BUT 👏

Honey Verse Compendium: Start!

Axe + Cleaver

》Agnes, Elle, Goliath, Angus, Euan, Odelia

Agnes Laroche is a theologian hellbent on writing an esssy of the Harlach Parish, a cult in a small town called Kencree. While searching for leads she meets Elle Sinclaire, a butcher in the Rhodes District of Kencree who specializes in. Less popular cuts for the smaller crowd. Elle points her in the direction of Goliath Abernathy, a former cult member and champion for the priestess Odelia Harlach.

As it turns out, the Harlach Parish is darker than Agnes imagined; members offer pieces of themselves to the priestess for her favor, trophies she collects in reliquaries. Her most favored happens to be an eye she keeps on a necklace, stolen from Goliath shortly before he left her court. As Agnes pokes around (meeting blacksmith Angus Reid and unwilling court member Euan Harlach), she catches Odelia's attention, who makes a bid to ensnare her in the cult. Outraged and fueled by old anger, Goliath finds his way into her church and a confrontation. He takes back his eye, steals documentation, and sets the church alight.

The town will take time to heal, but Odelia's death is everything she didn't want it to be: quiet and unremarkable, alone in a dark hall.

Flock

》Kaz, Valentine, Mozzwood, Gabriel, Neera

Years after a series of HEMP bombs take out tech worldwide, knowledge on agriculture and horticulture are considered scarce and precious. Kaz, a tractor driver, and Mozzwood, a variant of apex predator gone anxious, are traveling cross country looking for... something. Neither is quite sure yet. They meet a ghost from Kaz's past, a seed dealer and arsonist named Valentine. In a fight to understand their actions comes the revelation Valentine was a cult child-- one that burned down the church that kept them captive, and who continues to burn churches now. Its cleansing, they say.

During their journey, Valentine burns one more church, saving a single little girl named Gabriel. This event inspires a new direction for the group: a cross-country trek to find Kaz's mother and shelter with her.

From there, the story is a road trip. It comes with the ups and downs of having a family along for the ride, with the trials of tribulations that comes with adventuring across a post-apocalyptic land. But they find Kaz's mother, find a safe place with her, and build a home.

Red Heron

》Alec, Librarian, Johann, Kairos

The Red Heron Project is an experiment in body modification, its extreme and practical uses. Alec and the Librarian are abandoned projects, experiments deemed failed but just functional enough to keep in the program as archivists. They rarely receive visitors (there's often fights when they get them), and they like it just so. Its when the doctor Johann and their subject Kairos visit that things become strange.

Alec has never known much about the Librarian; they met in the archives and he's never seen the actual body behind the modification. It happens that Johann knows everything there is to know about the Librarian-- in fact, they're the one that made it. The question isn't so much where the body is as much as it is who has access to it? Certainly not Johann, and definitely not Alec. Not now that they're both considered failed experiments.

Now. How do they get the body back?

Farmer's Bible

》Eremiah, Garrett

This is admittedly my most threadbare concept. What I know is this:

Garrett is a priest in a small town beset by a plague, one which consumes the host via spore and mycelium. The host becomes feverish, then demented, then becomes a mushroom, and Garrett is sick to death of watching his people die. He sets out to find patient zero, tracking lead after lead, until he is brought back to his hometown, and the woods behind it. He finds patient zero there: a man named Eremiah, who keeps to himself and tends an infected farm.

Eremiah doesn't really know he's infected, and if he did he wouldn't much care, benefit of having a mushroom for a brain. The real trial for Garrett is whether it would sit right with him to kill a man like Eremiah, someone who just happened to wander into town with a bad cough.

Kor

》Adriana, Frogmouth, Grace, Andrew

Adriana spends her whole life blaming herself for the death of her best friend when she was a child. Wrought with grief and self-blame, she becomes skilled in ways she shouldn't and takes up work as a mercenary. Work eventually brings her home, where she meets a strange jester with the circus visiting town. She calls him Frogmouth when he won't say his name, but soon annoyance turns to fondness as he gives her a peek of his world. She takes up singing, something she hasn't done for years, and finds herself a new life within the tents. She can almost leave her grief behind like this. Almost.

Alas, work brings her to an audience with the duchess of the town and her advisor. In a breakdown of negotiations, a fight ensues, and Frogmouth finds himself at the center of it. He steps in to protect Adriana, but in the process loses his mask, shattering against the edge of a blade as it reveals the face of the elusive jester:

Adriana's childhood friend, Kor.

for the oc asks: 6 and 13 for everyone in the butchery verse (or whoever you're up for) >>:3cc

HELL yeah let's go

6. Do they have any tattoos? Where are they, and why did they get them?

Angus has a pair of hammers crossed on the nape of his neck! He doesn't show them off often but he got them the day he took over the forge from his father, and he's very proud to have them

not necessarily tattoos but body mod, Elle has all those stitches. They started doing that originally to honor the souls that came through the butchery, but esp after the ghosts moved in, it just turned into something to do w their hands when they were bored.

13. What are their views on marriage? If they want to get married, what would their dream wedding be like?

Agnes is very very romantic abt her wedding; she wants the massive train on the dress, the roses, the towering cake, whole nine yards, and if asked about it she'll go on a whole tangent about dress designs

Elle hasn't really thought abt marriage in relation to themself but thinks weddings are neat, and loves going to receptions specifically. They don't really care what the wedding looks like, as long as something buck wild goes down on the dance floor, even if they have to start it themself

Goliath really loves weddings, esp the traditional princess kind like Agnes wants. That being said, he doesn't think much abt them bc he doesn't think he'll ever have one (not only is this not true, it's not true twice over :) )

Euan wasn't really big on the idea of marriage until Angus brought it up when they were teens and he hasn't stopped thinking about them since. He wants something small tho-- only close family and friends, and somewhere in the Ros District. He's worried about parishioners finding the ceremony if he goes any bigger

Angus is just here for the beer. He wants to marry Euan but besides that, whatever Euan wants for the wedding he'll have

Odelia has an obligation to care about marriage being the leader of the Parish, but otherwise doesn't really care one way or another
