Oc-tober Day 1: OC(s) Drawing Themselves!

Additional Fun Facts:

Jesse, while otherwise creatively inclined, absolutely cannot draw

Cole has never smacked a pen away from a man faster

Don’t play Pictionary with him on your team

Miranda can draw, but due to limitations can’t draw as well as she once could

Miranda has photographic memory, but prefers simpler styles because, simplicity

Despite lack of skill, Jesse still absently doodles on his school work/notes a lot of it is Cole related

Miranda also likes to sketch up designs for things she can never build/create herself, but someday hopes to have someone else build for her

Day 3: Superstitions

Don't worry, that girl will be alright. I hope...

[bweirdart]

nearly oc-tober time again - time for some prompts for 2024

F.A.Q

do i have to draw?

not at all! you are free to participate with any medium that suits you... writing, artwork, free bases and templates, simple text posts, in-character-as-your-oc roleplay, whatever! (just no stealing or AI)

do i have to make new content?

nope! re-uploading old stuff that fits the prompts is allowed (and encouraged) ... old art that didn't get the appreciation it needed always deserves a chance to be shared again, it's a fun throwback!

do i have to post every day?

nope! only 10 days are mandatory (the ones in red with a star symbol) and everything else (yellow) is 100% optional! if you're busy or tired, please skip as many as you want

can i start early?

you can prep your posts in advance if you need to ... but please wait until the right day in october to share them!

can i re-upload your prompt list to another site?

i would prefer if you dont - i have accounts on most sites, so just reblog/retweet/share from me!

event tag?

INTRODUCING... OC - TOBER

(The idea came to me late at night and I couldn't stop giggling at the name pun.. and I still am.)

My bestie @ruvikkin-art and I decided to make our very own october art challenge for the people that can't stop making OCs or have way too many of them!

This challenge is all about YOU and your characters!

There are no rules except one: you need to draw your own characters.

These characters can either be already existing OCs or you can make up entirely new ones for the themes! You have complete freedom of how to tackle the themes and anything is allowed from drawing an astronaut for the "Space Theme" or just an OC who's stargazing!

Please do share your amazing art with us and use one of the hashtags #oc-tober or #oc tober !!

To make it easier you can also tag any of us so we can reblog your art!

[oc-tober2023]

I got too excited so you can have this year's oc-tober art prompts!

IMPORTANT! It has been brought to my attention that this years mistake is me writing the word ritual twice, once on the 2nd and once on the 23rd, so to combat this, please use the first ritual as something the oc does on a daily basis and the second one as an actual ritual, I deeply apologise for any confusion this may cause 😔

Please tag me in your art so I can reblog it without having to rely on tumblr's horrific search engine

Anyway! Please don't overexert yourself and remember to have fun!

4. Redesign none of my shade of scales have a "canon" design so they can be drawn however from their in-text description, so I decided to draw a more lion-esq jasper today! jasper is usally described by being lion-like with a bulky frame, large mane and fluff on the end of his tail, and shades of green like forest and emerald.

[rabbitbvt]

October's coming up! Here's some fun prompts I cooked up for OC artists to play with your characters :o)

They mostly focus on the design part of making OCs, because that's my favourite part

OC-Tober Day 5: 1st Design vs “Current” Design

...okay so technically this is more like “Current Design” vs “Future Design” but meh, semantics. Also!!! Finally settled!!! On some colors!! AAAA-

Left!Miranda is her design roughly from S3-S6

S0-S2, Miranda doesn’t have her prosthetics yet, but by S3, she manages to convince Jay to build the framework for them, while she supplies the software

Right!Miranda is her design roughly from S7-onwards

By that point, she’s dual-enrolled at Borg Tech, and is well on her way to being an intern for Borg Industries itself (and that’s like her life’s DERAM right there)

Right!Mira’s eyes are pink because she’s wearing contacts; Left!Mira is what her eyes naturally look like

In both cases, there’s a “crystal” on her right palm that allows her to display information from her personal database and/or the Elemental Compendium

Her fake limbs are also kept attached via special electromagnets; while this allows for an easier way to transfer commands via electrical signals (and to be able to do things like mentally call up holographic data), it’s also kinda easy to just...rip her arm/leg off (which she herself has used to her advantage much to her brother’s distress asdfghfds)

[devilmeows]
