Birthday Pride Dragon

Uh-oh, someone tried to help in the kitchen again...At least they managed to light the candle 😂

----------------------------------------------------

It's my birthday month.

I'm finally feeling a bit more comfortable with my own identities/orientations.

I love dragons.

So here's my doodle of a Dragon with a birthday cupcake on his head painted in some Pride. 😁

Coming this fall to TV, too, I hear. This drawing was done for a fundraiser but was never picked up.

I just realized that's a bee.

I saw the spider and the spider saw me.

Playing around with ink blobs and what I could make from them.

OC-Tober Day 5

I'm still goin. Draggin behind but still going, lol

A little girl and her alien shapeshifting friend.

(This might be more of a what-if/future relationship but it was cute and stuck in my head so I wanted to draw it.)

OC-tober 2023! Day 1-Fave OC

Decided to draw from an OC-tober prompt list because any excuse to draw my goobers. And this is more in my wheelhouse anyway 😂

Day one is your fave OC and...and I just can't not pick this guy. My obnoxious King Of Thieves!

(I was gonna try and clean it up more but somehow the sketchy look matches my sketchy lil guy so)

OC-tober Day 4! Redesign!

I know I'm 4 days behind, I know I can skip some, but I don't want to because I actually had an idea for this day and wanted to do it.

Anyway. My entry for this day: Lyra!

Being one of my older characters, she's gone through a few re-designs. Originally she just had pointy ears and long black hair. Bit of a stubborn airhead (top right). Then I did a redesign and she turned into a bounty hunter pirate of sorts. Still retained the pointy ears, but they got a bit longer and I gave her a short cut (top left).

Last re-design was an actual broken and from the ground up type of re-design. Gave her antlers, gave her ears that can flex and wiggle and move, gave her wings, and...a somewhat more complex development (a lot of which has been helped out by the Writeblr Hunger Games and the Writeblr Battle Roayle, lol)

At any rate, here's all three versions of my alien elf high-born!

Oc-tober Day 3 - Old OC

So...paired with the 'new OC' I was fairly sure this meant an OC that you have had for a long time/one that was from a long time ago...and not age, lol. At any rate.

Molly! She was an OC halfway between the starting point and where I am now. She had earth powers and was in a group with a lightening-wielder, a telekinetic, and a charmer (as in had magic that literally charmed people). All young teenagers, all tragic backstories, all outcasts in some way. She was the life of the party and just with a bouncy personality. For some reason she always wore huge gloves and huge boots.

Time Out

A couple of OCs that are in time-out for the moment.

Verin (left) is a very...passionate fighter that got sent away from a fight because she's pregnant and Becks (right) essentially wasn't allowed to join a team to rescue her friend because she's physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted.

And I got the brainworms so did a doodle.

Attempting to organize

Running through and finally putting tags on things so navigating this blog is a bit easier. Mostly for me, lol, as this blog has operated more like a cork board that suffers from me going "oh hey this is cool" and putting it up.
