OC-tober #24 is "Worst enemy"

#OC-tober #scribbles #Inamorata

OC, Carmen Romero
Digital sketch with rough, mostly greyscale or muted watercolor. A Hispanic woman in a black dress and large black hat adorned with red ostrich feathers sambas with her own sentient shadow, which grips her possessively from behind. Wisps of darkness drift between her outstretched hands, and delicate black tentrils attach her shadow to her feet, tying them together inextricably, no matter how they may fight one another for control.

A collage image of six different paintings done by the poster of various skull headed humanoid figures, most with their skulls floating above dismembered torsos and other mystical features.

A collage of six images that are of three different character portraits, two of which show full body poses.

A collage of two different images featuring the same character. One is a portrait of a ghostly male character that is mostly in shadow except for his face. He has dark hair, blue skin and glowing eyes. The other features different portrait angles and one almost full body pose.

A collage of three different digital paintings. One is a portrait of a headless figure in a suit and tie with two glowing halos of different sizes floating where the head would be. Second is of a jackal skull floating above the neck of a dismembered, semi-human, teal torso. Last is of a giant, four-armed, skull-headed figure floating in a large thunder cloud with several bolts of lighting generating from its hands and the cloud as sunlight shines from behind it all.

It’s #portfolioday time :)

I’m a fake macaw in a real world, and I make #art with inks for fun. I mostly draw sci-fi and melancholic pieces.

Shamelessly plugging my ko-fi which I haven’t updated in a while lol ko-fi.com/fakemacaw

Drawing of hands emerging from a bush of stinging nettles. Some faces can be seen in the bush. In the background, a person is falling from the sky into a horde of people

Drawing of a mysterious soldier standing in a field of chrysanthemums

Drawing of a woman standing in front of a dark doorway to a building situated in a desert canyon. The building’s architecture is inspired by brutalism

Hi everyone. I'm Rayner or Ray, a dark artist.

Main genres: Cyberpunk & Sci-Fi. I make original art and fanart (mostly based on my fav cyberpunk game series Deus Ex + my OC's).

linktr.ee/elrayart

Original male character. Long-haired brunette with tattoos on his arms and face, in a black T-shirt and pants, sits with one leg crossed over the other. In one hand he holds a white four-pointed star, with the other he rests on a horizontal surface and looks directly at the viewer with citrine eyes.

art with the original robotic character. In the center of the picture is a humanoid robot with a red body and black carbon fiber augmentations (hands). The android has an oblong head from under which long black carbon nano-cables hang down. The android also has no eyes, his eyes are replaced by a visor with a durable two-sided screen. The android stands in a relaxed pose, leaning one hand on a shabby old container, in the other hand he holds a human skull. He stands in an abandoned laboratory in which only emergency blue-red lighting works.

Original dark art in black and dark-crimson colors. A crying robot head hanging on wires over a vast ocean far in space.

So intro time for the new folks. I’m a storyboard and occasional concept artist for film and tv. I’ve worked on Star Trek Discovery, Pacific Rim, IT, The Thing, loads more. I used to draw comics for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and 2000ad/Dredd. I designed Pennywise’s smile makeup by accident one day.

ko-fi.com/shiftypumpkin

“Bay Waves”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a bright, open seascape. A large wave crashes onto the shore, as cliffs and clouds sit in the background.

“Autumn Stream”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a forest in autumn. A dramatic sunset and gathering clouds fill the sky, with rolling hills of colorful trees. A slightly rushing stream cuts through the clearing towards the viewer.

“Spring Highlands”, an 18”x24” oil painting of green hills and a stony mountain range. Rocks and trees dot the landscape.

“Continental Drift”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a volcanic wasteland, sitting in between snowy mountains and a sprawling forestland.

Minimalist digital painting of a horse galloping across the prairie. The sun is faintly illuminating heavy clouds in a golden sky; the composition is dominated by the vastness beneath the horse's hoofs.

Prost! Heute trinke ich einen Schluck zum Andenken an starke und an weniger starke Frauen!

Auf der rechten Seite steht eine langhaarige Frau, die dem Betrachter ein altes Schwarzweiß-Foto entgegen streckt. Die Frau ist gerade dabei, einen Schluck aus einem Senfglas zu nehmen. Auf dem Foto sind mehrere Frauen vor einer Landschaft versammelt, die sie betrachten. Gekleidet sind sie in der Mode der 20er Jahre. Den oberen Bereich des Bildes füllt eine alte Landkarte mit der Darstellung des Flugzeug-Absturzes von Amelia Earheart. Im unteren Teil befinden sich ein Porzellanreh zwischen seltsamen Pilzen und friesartig dargestellte Tänzerinnen, die einen Ausdruckstanz aufführen. Ganz recht raucht eine elegant gekleidete Dame eine Zigarette.

Hi, #PortfolioDay ~

I'm Kathaja and I draw alien OCs and creatures from my sci-fi world and novel.

More info at www.kathaja.com

WIP shot, digital art of an alien person, Zhaikes (species: Zhor Khat), from a top down angle. Zhaikes is glancing up over his shoulder with a grim expression. The angle gives us a view onto the broad scales running along his spine and two of his extra limbs that are positioned at his shoulder blades. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Illustration of a Nan-Te'gah, an alien species, that shows the head in side view. The alien has four larger and two smaller appendages on their head, three on each side. Text on page: Head appendages are made of cartilage and muscle. Elongated tympanic membranes run along each of the four larger appendages and serve as sensory organs. Upper appendages: Specialized for detecting airborne vibrations and pressure changes. Lower appendages: Specialized for detecting underwater vibrations and movements. The appendages are also used to convey emotions by moving them into different positions. Active movement affects the membranes. While most self-generated disturbances can be ignored, the sensitivity of the membranes is dampened by active movement. Thus, increased focus or fear makes them eerily still. Nictitating membrane (third eyelid) can be drawn across the eye for protection, particularly when underwater. Outer teeth are part of the exoskeleton that covers the face. Lips close behind the outer teeth. The actual teeth are located inside the mouth, with pointed incisors and flatter molars. Canines are not prominent and look like incisors.

Pencil art of a creature's head in side-view, the Ozyres. The creature is snarling, showing off its crooked teeth and a long tongue. Its eye is purely white with a soft glow. It has two ears which are set back, underlining the aggressive pose. Art by Kathaja Krim.
