oc refs i did for artfight. you can find me at /~visca

some oc info if interested (copypasted from their character pages lol):

Aurelias Golzar Vidal: A homunculus made by the alchemist Mariam Vidal, they are the child of Mariam and Lorenza "Lor" Contreras. Generally friendly, but capable of brutality. Others have noted an oddness to their thought process at times. Some may consider that some of their oddness may be from their changeling parentage, but some of it is just them being themself. They're still figuring themself out, they hope that traveling will give them more life experience to help them not only settle more into themself, but to also hone their skills. For now, they're a capable fighter and knowledgeable enough in alchemy to do things like create some remedies and tinctures in a pinch. Their biology allows them to manipulate and change/shape their body to a certain extent, and often in ways that some would find off putting. They also have an above average healing factor. There has been much speculation into the nature of souls, the creation of homunculi simply adds to the discussion. In Aurelias' case, they were previously killed as a young teenager and their soul was pulled from the afterlife during their rebirth as a homunculus* (their mother and Lor are unaware of this, they simply attribute any weird mannerisms to their status as an artificial being and their atypical upbringing). They were previously wary of Mariam as a young child, but in the present day they have a great fondness and love for her and Lor. notes: -* the thing about homunculus souls is something i'm playing around with. i have another character i'm in the progress of designing that i want to have as a sort of foil to them (no previous memories, not raised by an alchemist who cared for/nutured him, the luciferic androgyne to aurelias' mercurial androgyne, stern and reserved vs friendly and freespirited, etc) -their outfit is mostly black in their primary ref, but if i ever did more art of them further along their storyline i'd have different colors as the focus, to reflect the process of the philosopher's stone (nigredo->black, cauda pavonis->black with green/other colors, albedo->white, citrinitas->yellow, rubedo->red, etc) -the main inspiration for them was the alchemical concept of the rebis, along with the homunculus/philosopher's stone

~~

Mariam Vidal: An alchemist who works as an pharmacist/apothecary in her day to day life. She did not pursue the creation of the philosopher's stone like others. Instead attempting and succeeding at the act of takwin, with the creation of her child, Aurelias. She is a calm and caring woman who can put others at ease, but that isn't to say she can't be firm with others when needed. She has a garden outside her home that she harvests from, whether for creating medicines and tinctures, or food with fresh herbs and veggies (and fruits too). She's made sure to nurture Aurelias' natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge and also teach them as much about her craft as she can. This is not only to continue her family's legacy, but also so it can potentially aid them after leaving home. While she and Lor are both Aurelias' genetic parents, Mariam is their primary caretaker given that Lor both travels for work, and keeps herself more in a sort of aunt role. notes: -she was inspired by both european and islamic alchemy/alchemists, there were individuals in both groups who wanted to or claimed to have made beings like homunculi (the above mentioned "takwin" was basically the creation of artificial life). there are a handful of homunculus recipes floating around, most of them are kinda gross lol -i'm playing with the idea of her being the descendant of a son of jabir ibn hayyan, mainly for her/her family having a reason to not care as much for the philosopher's stone -the accessories on her chatelaine/chain are a reference to the alchemical concept of the 3 primes (salt, sulfur, mercury). mercury->the notebook, because of mercury's association with the mind/intellect/imagination. sulfur->the match vesta, because of sulfur's association with fire. and the garden scissors->salt, because of salt's association with the earth and solidness (though admittedly this accessory might be my weakest link. i really wanted her to have scissors though) -i had her wear a lot of red to show that basically, as far as alchemy goes, she's succeeded in her field. the final stage of the creation of the philosopher's stone is rubedo (red). that's also why i gave her rose imagery on her chain+accessories, because alchemical works have associated roses with the rubedo stage -her outfit in general can be seen as a reference to the process of creating the philosopher's stone: black apron (nigredo), white collar on tunic (albedo), yellowish/khaki pants (citrinitas), red tunic/coat/shoes/scissor handles (rubedo)

~~

Lor Contreras: Aurelias' other genetic parent. She takes a more aunt-like role with them, while Mariam is their primary caretaker. It's an arrangement that works for all of them, especially considering that Lor often travels for work.* Since they're a changeling, they were left in a human family by their birth parent, in order to replace one of the family's children. They were eventually found out and chased away, and discarded their previous name. They spent many years going from place to place. She is often cynical and can seem avoidant, but she does care for those she's grown close to She partnered up with Mariam for a time before Mariam settled down and started her own apothecary business. Lor and Mariam value each other as friends, so she was amenable to helping Mariam in her goal in creating a homunculus. But she made it clear to Mariam that Lor wouldn't constantly be around to help with things like child rearing notes: -*i'm not sure what Lor does for work. maybe fishing or something, i'll have to figure something out -Lor and Mariam are not romantically involved (cause yknow, Lor's aro) but they're good friends+they've def had sex lol -i feel like Aurelias would call her auntie

mspaint jason

this was fun, i didnt think id enjoy drawing the bg for this

misc: -im generally ambivalent to whether he does/doesnt smoke as an adult but the mental image i got for this included him smoking -before ever drawing him i thought id lean more towards his hair being wavy/curly but again: the mental image i got was different so he gets straight hair for this one -he's also wearing timbs. not for any particular reason tho
