A digital full body chibi (bebe) drawing of four characters. They are all standing on the same plane, the two on the left heading towards the two on the right while holding hands.
The person on the far left is a girl with pale skin and light brown hair that reaches a bit below shoulder length. She wears a a sage green shirt, black jeans, and bright green shoes.
To her right is a nonbinary person with pale skin and short brown hair. They wear an white cardigan over a striped crop top and light blue jeans, and multicolored neon shoes.
On the right of them is another nonbinary person who looks like they just crawled out of a bush. They have pale skin, and light brown hair with a flower crown and twigs in it. They wear a multicolored poncho sort of thing over a green tank top, and loose flowy dark green pants. They have many gold jewelry pieces on them such as bangles and necklaces, and have their hands and feet wrapped in cloth.
The far right is a brown man with dark brown hair. He wears a black sweatshirt over light blue jeans and black velcro sneakers. Taped to his forehead and hanging over his face is a sheet of white paper with a face drawn on it.
They're all over a light pink background with a round dark pink shape forming the surface they stand on. Above them in the middle is a pink toaster, with the words "toasty" on the left and "team" on the right.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

between this and the ICE ads on Spotify, YouTube randomly doing AI edits of creator's videos without their consent, and the U.S. government taking over TikTok, I think I'll just get really into collecting music on CDs and start bringing books with me everywhere again.

hello, #PortfolioDay !!

my name is mel and i'm a digital artist who focuses on OCs, some visual novel art, and fun commission pieces!

fuzzytrashbird.carrd.co

vgen.co/fuzzytrashbird

A digital illustration of OP (mel's) OC Smith, who has blue hair, light skin, and grey eyes. He wears a grey and purple sweatshirt, and has various types of flowers resting on him as he lays on grass.

A digital illustration of OP (mel's) farmer OC from the game Fields of Mistria with the character Caldarus. The farmer is playing with Caldarus' hair, their hands touching. The two appear to be lost in their own little world as the farmer talks and Caldarus happily listens.

A digital illustration commission of two characters dancing a waltz. The woman, on the viewer's left, has cat ears and a forked cat tail. Her dress is red with black and gold accents. The man, on the right, is a human wearing a light blud with white and darker blue accents. They are in a room full of people, but are focused on each other, a spotlight shining down on them.

A digital drawing commission of a character in a dog cage. The character takes up almost half of the cage with his large tail, the end of which is poking out between a couple bars. He looks extremely angry to be in the cage.

steals your joke

#smithtoastr

the "gay is okay" meme with my OCs. Smith is confessing to MG, Harpur, and Mills. This one is edited from the one above.

Smith says "Guys... I have some thing i need to confess. I burned down that diner (on accident)"
The reaction is MG, Harpur, and Mills prepared with stuff to celebrate Smith coming out as LGBT+, but looking horrified at what he told them instead. MG is holding a pride flag, Harpur has a trans flag heart cake, and Mills is blowing a noise maker despite what Smith just told them. There is rainbow confetti in the air.

made a design for "future Smith" (which is only a year away in canon), but i also needed some Smith and Harpur angst so i added it :)
popsmithle is for my sanity

#art #artsky #oc #ocsky #smithtoastr

A set of three digital drawings of my OC Smith. On the left is him standing, showing his updated design. His hair is cut a bit shorter than his current time design. His right eye is fully grey (iris and pupil gone, full sclera of grey), and his left eye remains its usual grey iris with white sclera. He wears an oversized sweatshirt that's mostly grey with a stripe of purple across the center. The cuffs and bottom band are also purple. Pants are lighter grey with purple bands in a couple areas. His shoes are the same as his usual; purple, grey, and white sneakers with platformed soles. Around it is a few notes about the new design, such as:
"eye permanently turned grey" next to the greyed out eye.
"had Harpur cut off the ponytail" with an arrow pointing to the ends of his hair.
"lost weight and insecure about it" referring to him wearing loose clothing to hide his body.
On the top right is Smith and Harpur. Both are on an implied surface, Harpur on his knees while Smith sitting. Harpur is hugging Smith from behind, and both of them crying.
On the bottom right is Smith as a melting popsicle, similar to the character ones from ice cream trucks. His black gumball eyes are melting off, and there's a few spots that are dripping.

#art #oc #ocsky

My OC Daniel, an older man with with greying hair and dimples. He wears a dark blue jacket over his shoulders that matches his pants, and a black long sleeve shirt with the sleeves pushed up a bit. His shoes are black and dark grey, his socks also being dark grey. He stands over a simple maroon background.

"I feel a strange urge to just ... pick you up and hold you."

#fanart #art #fieldsofmistria #fom #caldarus

A digital drawing of Caldarus' more human form with my farmer. The farmer is extremely happy as they touch Caldarus' hand and hair, while Caldarus looks at them, calm but happy.
Caldarus wears his fall outfit, while the farmer is in the oversized tee outfit with a purple shirt, but i took some liberties and tucked the shirt into the pants.
They're over a burnt orange background, and outlined with a lighter orange. There's a small white heart between them, and a bokeh effect around them.

#smithtoastr #art #oc #ocsky

A bust illustration of my OC Smith laying in grass with flowers on him. He has a white lily in his hair on the right, with a purple petunia on the left, a peach-y colored begonia over his right eye, forget-me-nots/scorpion grass on his neck, a red poppy on his chest (vaguely around his heart- i was struggling with placement), and yellow buttercups scattered across his shirt.
His blue hair fans out on the ground a bit, and his right hand is relaxed near his head. There's dappled light shining down on him as he looks up.

An edited screenshot from Fields of Mistria. In it, the default character is talking to OP's character, Monroe, in the middle of winter. Monroe looks exhausted, and his text box reads: "Feels like winters in Mistria get colder every year..."
