#49: Trauma
Ft. Carmen's worst day

I hit my time limit with this so it'll stay unfinished forever, but I think I wanna revisit it someday and try again.

#OC-tober #scribbles #Inamorata

Digital scribble of a woman in all black kneeling in the dark, arms up to claw her face, as an enormous, monstrous centipede entity with a skull-like head and multiple sets of toothy mandibles coils around her to drool onto her from above. Pure darkness pours from its mouth into her and overflows from her eyes and skin.

This is SO cute and perfect, I'm losing it!! This is such a fun idea and I just really love Dr Boots' retro pinup style 🩷🦴💖

Carmine's OC Anja for their 10K+ followers DTIYS.

I may draw more depending on how much of a gremlin I feel like being.

#Carmine10kDTIYS

A retro style cut-out paper doll of a woman with pink hair done up in Victory Rolls. She's wearing a pink one piece swimsuit with white polkadots in the shape of ghosts. (One red ghost over her heart)
To her right are 3 alternative outfits.

#1. a red button up top tied off at the chest and a pair of grey denim jeans

#2 A pink spaghetti strap top with the words "Hell Cat" written across the chest. A short black pencil skirt and fishnet stockings.

#3 a tight black evening gown.

Did I mention she has an extra set of arms that are mostly skeletal with exposed muscle fiber extending from the hands and into the forearms? That seems important.

verrot, a dark skinned native elf, kneels in the center of a composition. he holds his violin. a series of images surround him ; one wher he is a teenager playing the piano. another where he lurks in a grave yard. a slice of birthday cake moulders in the frame.

(I'm so on board with this, retconning in unhinged, unpredictable, uncanny Carmen is funny and dramatic.)

A transmasc character with long black hair leans forward with one hand on his hip and the other angled towards his shoulder. He wears a tight black leather dress with a pink lace bra peeking out at the chest. His black jacket has fur lined around the neck and sleeves. A black harness accessory can be seen on one leg and also around the chest.
Pink roses frame his body and head in the background.

Rules and more refs below! Ends Dec. 31st at midnight, and I'll draw one winner for each character. Use #Carmine10kDTIYS. 🖤

Composite image of two corresponding characters side by side.
On the left is Anja, a young woman with ombre pink hair in a victory roll wearing a red and pink polka dot swing dress. She poses, grinning, with a tray of pink cupcakes and a human heart in one hand, and offers a cupcake in the other. Each cupcake is topped with an eyeball. Her second set of partially skeletal arms playfully lift her skirt a little.
On the right is Vie, Anja's "mother," a more mature femme fatale with long black hair with a champagne streak, sharp teeth and nails, and mouths where mouths don't belong. They wear an elegant blood red dress decorated with strings of pearls and various jewelry, and pose with a human heart in one hand and skeletal hands on her hips.

Looking for a cover artist for self-published book trilogy. Mecha story with a boy and girl main characters. Something mildly cartoony that will punch in thumbnail.

Yes, paid! Four covers total, for each volume and an omnibus edition.

If you have a site you want me to look at, let me know.

Like eight years ago there was a science headline floating around socmed that read "Vampire bats 'French Kiss' with mouthfuls of blood to develop social bonds."

Anyways today's prompt is "shared dinner."
CW for the amount of blood you'd expect.

#OC-tober #scribbles

Digital sketch of two women, one in a black dress and one in a white dress, with bloodied mouths. The woman in white lies flat on her back with twin puncture wounds in her neck, her black hair spread out beneath her and one arm resting casually above her head. The woman in black lies above her, hovering above her exposed neck. They've been sharing a mouthful of blood, from the looks of it. (It's very probably a weird sex thing.)

I'm learning so much about everything I could do better! There's so much!!

Carmine 🖤✨❤️ @carminedeville.bsky.social · 1d

Fun fact, the one with the white in her hair is Anja's mother so being gay and disgusting runs in the family I guess

OC-tober is cool because I'll post some shit I scribbled on my lunch break with 3 minutes to spare, immediately notice 37 mistakes and things I could do better, and just have to grin and bear it bc the point is to make something exist, not to make something good.

I'm wrong, it was five years ago and it's still funny as fuck

Forever apologizing to L's creator for this shit, I promise the comic is all cool stuff to make up for the sheer quantity of gay shitposting here 😭
