Artists, quote with long hair!

A digital painting of a mermaid with long dark hair and ice armor that consists of various scales and spikes.

This is what my OC Feng would look like if she were a Merfolk instead of a Werewolf-Elf.

I see artists trade their patreon and ko-fi links all the time and it seems sometimes like it's only other artists and a handful of regular followers that pass those round.

It really does help. Previous clients saying on comm ads they had a good experience also helps a lot too.

I'll have to rework my novel outline because I figured out an important detail about my main character's profession. Unfortunately, this also means I have to update the motivation for her actions. 😅

Getting back into #OC-tober with Feng.

"Gah! Shitshitshit!" - "What are you... SNOWFLAKE! STOP FEEDING AIR TO THE FIRE!" - "Then what should-" - "Pull the air away! Suffocate it. That's better. ... Sheesh. You don't even need my help to set yourself on fire. Good to know."

#oc #digitalart 🎨🦎

A digital drawing of Feng, one of my Werewolf-Elf OCs.

She has been trying to cook something in a cauldron on a fireplace, but its content caught fire. So now she's hastily pulling away from it while trying to use her ice magic against it.

Nooooo... not the dreaded "lines on the wrong layer"... 😢

#artistproblems

... and the same drawing with the sketch layer hidden... too bad 75% of the lines were also on that layer.

I don't remember exactly when I made this shark 🦈 somewhere between 2019 - 2022 🤭 it was used in one of my tiny reefs 🪸

I'm revisiting this subject 🦈

I'm TOO EXCITED to wait to share this! My Dragonborn is done!

She's got a moveable jaw, TPU ears, hand sewn wefted hair, a lined cowl, and 3D eyes. This is my 2nd attempt at making a mask/head, and I hope you like it! She's coming with me to ScotiaCon in Feb, and she is for sale.

To those looking for music that is #madebyhumans: I found this channel a while back, and it's a beautiful oasis where I go whenever YouTube tries to feed me AI slop.

Along with the music, you'll also get people sitting in nature with an adorable dog.

10th entry for #OC-tober, starring Lex and Ria.

"Whoa, hehe... Relax. It was mostly smoke and noise. None of the really dangerous stuff." - "I do not care. You will never do that again." - "But she-" - "NEVER. AGAIN. Do you understand?" - "Uh... yes. Yes, of course."

A little something for #GetToKnowMeTober2025.

Since I'm already spamming y'all with Ria's pack, here's a different #OC that's really precious to me.

The Stranger emerged from a random Blender test and insisted on becoming my artist companion. More of a familiar by now, I suppose. 😄

A 3D model of my OC, The Stranger.

He is standing in a grassy landscape, showing a simple stone-like texture and being overgrown with plants. This is a render from 2023, based on an ancient Blender experiment from 2012.

A 3D model of my OC, The Stranger.

He is floating upside down while mimicking the rubbery appearance of a yellow balloon. A sign in the background displays information about the chemical element helium, like it would appear in the periodic table.

Three handmade plushies of different sizes, depicting The Stranger and two of his younger siblings with the extremely creative names "Mini" and "Tiny."

The glowing part of a lantern, depicting The Stranger in a style similar to stained glass.
The lantern is made of thin colored paper behind a cardboard frame. Three small LED lamps provide the light.

9th entry for #OC-tober, starring Feng and Thakon.

"LET GO OF ME!!!" - "Not before you've calmed down." - "CALM DOWN?!? THAT LUNATIC TRIED TO BLOW ME UP!!!!!"

#oc #digitalart 🎨🦎

Thakon is blocking the way of a furious Feng while holding her arms. Her face and arms are covered in soot, and the ice armor on those body parts is missing.

Not sure if many know, but considering it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this might just feel fitting.

If you ever come across a website that does a CloudFlare security prompt, and it asks you to "copy" something - DON'T. This is an attempt to get you to run malware. It's becoming more common.

Day 8 of #OC-tober, starring Areon.

"By the ancestors - what was that?" - "Probably payback for whatever Feng did to Lex yesterday." - "I'll check on-"
"DAMN IT, FLOWER BOY!!!"
"She's fine. You'd better go and check on HIM."

#oc #digitalart 🎨🦎

A digital drawing of Areon, one of my Werewolf-Elf OCs.

He was just startled by an explosion while writing in his journal. The quill slipped across the page, leaving a trail of ink behind, and he accidentally knocked the inkwell off the table.

4-panel-comic by War and Peas Panel 1: A witch in a black dress and pointy hat stands next to a broken vase on the floor. She looks at her black cat, Lord Nibbles, and says, "Another broken vase?" Lord Nibbles sits calmly on a table. Panel 2: The witch says, "Great. Now I have to get a new one." Lord Nibbles watches her from the table with a sly expression. Panel 3: Later: The witch, holding a new vase box, declares, "No more throwing down!" Lord Nibbles looks on with a scheming gaze. Panel 4: The witch places a bouquet of flowers in the new vase while Lord Nibbles, now inside the new vase box, triumphantly declares, "Another victory." The box is tipped over, revealing Lord Nibbles' true plan all along.

That's really unnerving - and sadly, it's not surprising.

It reminds me of another experiment two years ago. That one also showed heavy biases regarding gender and skin color in faces that Stable Diffusion generated for specific occupations.
