The band geek & the cheerleader. They started out as political allies but surely enough they became close friends, and a force to be reckoned within the Escot Archipelago. Crossing either one of them can be career-ending.

Setting up my VGen account made me realize I don't draw my ocs by themselves anymore. Like they're literally always drawn with friends or their significant other. Idk why but it's way less fun for me to draw characters by themselves, but now I'm pulling from 2024 for solo art to show on my page 😭.

So I applied for a VGen on a whim last week & I got in. I dunno what I'm doing, as I mostly do freelance with my professional work, but passive income is cute. I prefer drawing duos & groups, so I've placed those options on sale for now! (Everything's pretty cheap regardless tho)

Shit, I think most of them have?

Tyler, Emily, Emmet, Blossom, Honza, Jin, Sunshine, Fawn, Selina, Yuma, Coco, Braeburn, and Cobalt, all have naturally black hair.

Seren, Alexis, and Verde are natural brunettes.

This is what happens when you're a "pretty colors" enjoyer since childhood I guess 😭
Does your OC dye their hair? If yes, what's their natural hair color? Do they ever show it?

It's a snowy day in Eastridge and Cobalt has been brought in to help clean up. But it appears the Eastridge Clique wants him out for lunch. Mostly because Yuma and Selina think he's attractive. #oc #originalcharacter #digitalart #smallartist #ocsky #artsky #artshare #art

Dating Coco is a literal death sentence. Dating her means buying her everything she wants until you're in crippling debt. All her exes have died at the hands of loan sharks, partially due to her spending & her demanding personality. Adam is the only man who's ever been able to keep up with her.

I don't post WIPs often I kind hate how my flat color/unpolished stuff looks but I thought this little sneak peak would be fun to share.

Makoa is jealous~

I swear I'm physically incapable of making alt outfits for my boys sometimes 😭. I want to give everyone a decent amount of alternate looks but literally half of my men just get tank tops and I call it a day 💀. Like my girlies have it so easy in that regard.

I might draw them again😋

Braeburn loves Courtney, he revels in her approval, and follows her around like a puppy. While Courtney loves him in her own way, she only started dating him out of convenience, she always prioritizes her ✨️professionalism✨️ above her romantic affairs. The two are genuinely happy together at least.

Honestly my girlies are pretty versatile, I love to dress them up in anything I think would be cute to wear myself! Carmen and Emily are the only two who don't wear dresses or skirts in anyway. It judt isn't their vibe.
Does your OC prefer to wear pants or skirts/dresses? 🩳 👗

It still makes my day since the first time I've got this.

River was orphaned as a newborn, with no legal documentation to speak of. The only thing people are certain about is his year of birth. He grew up in a derelict orphanage and the foster care system was rough on the guy. He's now the only resident of Scotsdale's controversial homeless shelter.

Kind of in the mood to do some art trades with some mutuals, partially due to new toy syndrome with Cobalt 😭, lmk if you're down.

...so my ocs have been rotting my brain for a long time. I started drawing Tyler and friends in the 3rd grade because I loved making goofy ass comics for my friends to read, and then the world just became bigger and bigger. I would make a proper timeline... but I'm lazy, so here's a tierlist thingy.

On top of all his deliveries, Cobalt
constantly has to repair all of Avalon's faulty products. Ashley Maxwell usually feels terrible when she has to call him in for repairs, but Cobalt never seems to mind helping her out. #oc #originalcharacter #digitalart #smallartist #ocsky #artsky #artshare #art

Here's a bio for Cobalt if you want to read more about him (reuploaded due to a legibility issue)

I reused, and edited his original render because I'm lazy and I thought it still looked nice.
No more ocs after this I swear 😭

Anywats this is Cobalt, Ashley Madison's anti social assistant.

I found a role for him!

Cobalt is a depot worker employed by the company Avalon (Amazon equivalent). He delivers packages to every island in the archipelago, & he's also unfortunately Ashley Madison's personal assistant. #oc #originalcharacter #digitalart #smallartist #ocsky #artsky #artshare #art

Cobalt content coming soon! ...once I figure out what the hell his last name is. Y'all can make suggestions if you want because he's got me stumped T_T #WIP
