ref is still under construction but i toss him in for your consideration; he's very sweet and tender, likes to service.
A reference sheet for my FFXIV character, Jenshi. He is mixed Au Ra, Highlander, and Roegadyn. This drawing shows a front and back view with four chibi style outfit options and some other miscellaneous close up details.

the phone camera never does it justice...
A photo of a cloudy sky near sunset. A little bit of blue sky is peeking through a variety of clouds that are a gradient of pinkish orange near the top and yellowish closer to the horizon; the top of a couple duplex buildings and some trees can be seen at the bottom of the photo, with one larger tree stretching up the right side. I'm no cloud expert, but there appears to be a mix of some stratus or altostratus clouds lower in the sky, sprinkled with some alto or cirrocumulus and cirrus clouds in the middle, with a possible cumulonimbus storm cloud blowing in at the top! (I hope it rains). If I want to be an art nerd rather than a science nerd, I would describe the clouds as a mix of smooth and linear brush strokes with a few stippled spots here.

#jenshi #bennybeeart #bennyoc
A digital illustration by me of two characters in a confessional, the crop is close up to their heads. Jenshi is on the left and is kneeling, he's looking up with a yearning expression at the other character who is leaning over and tenderly brushing their hands over Jenshi's face. This is an alternate universe outside of ffxiv. A digital illustration from part of a short comic I made. This panel shows Jenshi looking down at an off-screen character with a soft smile and a bit of a sad look in his eyes; like he's looking at someone he loves so deeply, but knows he can't be with. There's smoke floating through the air and part of the other character's hands are shown, one holding a cigarette, one resting on Jenshi's chest. The out of context speech bubble says "More than you can afford." An older digital illustration by me of Jenshi and my partner's character, Tarin. Tarin is on the left, standing and cradling Jenshi's chin in one hand while covering Jenshi's book with the other. Jenshi is sitting down, head tilted up towards his partner. They both wear an expression of yearning, potentially lust. Jenshi's eyes are hooded, his brows gently upturned, and his mouth is slightly agape with a slight smile. He looks completely absorbed in his partner's presence. A digital illustration by me of my character Jenshi nuzzled up with Rubicante (originally from FF4). Both of them have gentle expressions. Rubicante, being much larger, has his arms circling Jenshi with his head perched across the au ra's shoulder. Jenshi has one hand resting on Rubicante's cheek.

wolship with my partner!!

#bennybeeart #jenshi #bennyoc
A digital illustration by me, partly a trace-over with some adjustments. The original image shows a woman in a white dress cradling a man who has his head resting in her lap. Her hand grasps his face as she curls over him to kiss his brow bone area. He rests peacefully with his eyes closed and one hand over her outstretched leg. My version includes my FFXIV character, Jenshi, in place of the woman; he is wearing a more simplified white dress. The man in the original image is replaced with my partner's FFXIV character, Tarin. They are in the same pose and have the same expression, though Jenshi is quite a bit larger than Tarin, so I adjusted the sizing.

silly worm!!! very fun to make ty for the prompt
A "self" portrait collage that consists of a picture of a real worm placed atop a backdrop of a picture of real dirt. Clip art of simple dirt patterns are around the perimeter of the piece. There are a total of six phrases around the image. In the upper left is a standalone phrase that says "I have no lungs; my breath swells with the earth" and it is distorted to look like the text is swelling. In the middle right another standalone phrase says "My wriggling body burrows through life and death at once; it is all beautiful" and the last standalone phrase at the bottom says "I am really just a silly little worm." Both of these texts have been distorted to look wavy or wriggly. The three other phrases are attached to certain parts of the worm's anatomy. One is pointed at a twist near the end of the worm's body and says "The coil of my stomach. It is full of dirt; my joys and sorrows are buried there." Another one is pointing at the segmentation of the worm's body near its head and says "Each segment carries its own depth and drags my weight to the surface when I am drowning." The last phrase is attached to the worm's mouth and says "A mouth to guide me; my heart is close by."

I only have sketches done so far but Jenshi is The Sun, Ozzy is Six of Swords, and I haven't thought hard enough about the other ones yet. Alt text has more details! #bennyoc #jenshi #bennybeeart
A digital illustration by meof my FFXIV OC, Jenshi, depicted in a tarot card drawing for the major arcana, The Sun. He is shown fully nude and falling away from the sun, upside down with wings outstretched. Jenshi is smiling and holding a long cloth that's loosely wrapped around him and obscuring his groin with his other hand up by his head, palm open towards the viewer. The Sun as a card represents radiance and success, typically seen as a card bearing good news or affirming that someone is on the right path. The overall symbolization for Jenshi is his own radiance, and some parallels with the self-destruction of Icarus; not out of arrogance but his willingness to do nearly anything to help someone else even to his own detriment. My idea with this illustration is that if the card is pulled upright, Jenshi is seen falling away because he's not needed, or perhaps he's already done his job for good tidings. But if the card is pulled reversed (which is typically a negative meaning), Jenshi would look like he's flying upwards, swooping in to provide support. The sketch overall is monochrome and yellow/golden in color. A digital illustration by me of my OC, Osiris, depicted with a tarot design for the minor arcana, Six of Swords. He is shown tilting his head back and looking at the viewer, he has a blank expression. Six swords are shown beside him with three oriented down and three oriented up, pointing at each other. There is a silhouette of wolf teeth behind the swords. The Six of Swords card typically represents a transition or needing a change that is not easy, but ultimately is for the best. Osiris as a character is heavily steeped in the motif of transformation and change; he is transgender and also a werewolf. His gender transition was under his own autonomy, but an attack from his father is what turned him into a werewolf. The sketch overall is monochrome and red/rusty in color.

and why he ourple 😂
A close-up screenshot from the game FFXIV of my Xaela Au ra character, Del. He is smiling and looking off camera. He has a medium purple skin tone with dark hair, horns, and scales. His scale pattern stretches across the bridge of his nose and around the perimeter of his face.

A digitally illustrated fullbody portrait of bigchallenges' ant OC, Mel. She is standing casually with her arms crossed with a neutral expression. She wears a leather looking coat with fur on the collar and wrists and comfortable looking blue jeans.

yknow what, even tho i didnt do as much as i really wanted to, i was still able to do the same number of attacks this year (5) for artfight as i was last year so thats an accomplishment on its own with how busy i was all of July #artfight #teamfossils #bennybeeart
A digital illustration portrait of lattecos's FFXIV character, Atuh'ma. She is a xaela au ra with dark scales on her face and horns where ears would normally be. She wears black lipstick, and has dark purple hair with a bright pink gradient at the tips. She's wearing a strip of cloth over her left eye, and her visible eye is a pink that matches her hair. Her expression is subtly furrowed and irritated. A digitally illustrated portrait of my friend Loxiv's human OC, Biz, when she was younger. She is blissfully unaware of The Horrors (tm) that await her; she has a nonchalant smile as she perhaps conversates with someone off screen and smokes a cigarette. Her style is of the 70's. A digital illustration of TheUmbranSage's OC, Cappricio. This character is a puppet built by the king in the kingdom of puppets and is meant to hang from the ceiling of the palace to protect the kingdom. In this picture, Cappricio hangs in mid-air with one leg dropped down; their bladed foot is covered in blood with a small drip falling. The rest of their limbs are suspended by a barely visible string that stretches off camera. They wear an ornate head piece that fans over their head, it is adorned with gold embellishments and jewels. A picture of a greyscale drawing done on pencil and paper of Hummypuppy's deer OC, Maya. She has lots of curly hair and her expression is happy and excited with her eyes closed and mouth open in a smile. She's holding up a peace sign, like she's posing for a photo.

My big beautiful boy and his big beautiful nose. It's one of the things that can easily be connected with his family, he has his dad's nose for sure.

A digital illustration by me of my FFXIV character, Jenshi. He is resting his chin on his interlocked hands and looking off to the side with a calm smile. The background is golden and cloudy in texture. Since this is a post about noses, his nose is downturned at the end with wide nostrils and quite a prominent bridge as well. It's all very rounded and soft without any harsh angles or planes. A digital illustration by me of my FFXIV character, Jenshi. It's a three quarter's view portrait and he's looking off camera with a happy smile. A digital illustration by me of my FFXIV character, Jenshi. It is a profile view and he is looking down at the other character who is cropped out. His expression is tender with brows upturned and a soft smile. The smooth and prominent slope of his nose bridge is visible here. A digital illustration by me of my FFXIV character, Hideshi; Jenshi's father. It is a three quarters portrait view and he is looking at the camera, smiling widely with teeth. His nose bridge is a bit more prominent and flatter than Jenshi's due to stronger Roegadyn heritage and has the Hellsguard mark on the tip, but it is largely of the same shape and structure. They are clearly blood related.

Not my WoL but my xiv oc Gyo!! I chose it because it's an illustration I made and I really ended up liking the colors and composition even though it's not entirely finished yet. Damn it's gonna be hot today....
A screenshot of my phone lock screen. It features my ffxiv oc, Gyo. He is a Raen Au Ra. There are two moths on his head, one is covering his right eye and one is resting on his left temple above his horn. The wing covering his face has an eye shaped pattern that aligns with where his eye would be underneath. The moths aren't of any particular species but are inspired by Emperor moths. Gyo's fairy, Destrian, is also resting atop Gyo's head with their arms crossed and eyes closed. Destrian's wings are outstretched and they seem to be very relaxed and content. Gyo's facing head on and has a neutral expression. There are a lot of warm pink tones. The date at the top of the screen says Sunday, July 13, and the time says 8:30. The weather app says it is currently 82 degrees Fahrenheit with a high of 107 and a low of 73. It's going to be a scorcher today! I've blocked out my calendar app due to personal information. There's a flashlight button on the bottom left, and a photo button on the bottom right.

ozzy.... my little emo guy......
A screenshot of my FFXIV character, Osiris, or Ozzy for short. He is pictured from the waist up and is making the shape of a heart with his hands in front of his chest. His sweater is black with a white print of a moth on the chest and some tearing down the side. His expression is mostly neutral, with a very subtle smile. The background is grey and blurred. A screenshot of my FFXIV character, Osiris, or Ozzy for short. He is sitting curled up with his head resting on his knees, which are folded up to his chest, and his arms are draped around his legs. His clothes are punky and emo in fashion, mostly black; his pants are the most notable with one leg being solid black and one leg being a black and white checkered pattern.

An artfight profile card featuring a drawn portrait of myself and some characters; the theme is for Team Fossils and has a warm, amber color palette. It includes my username (bennybee) and says I will attack anyone, and that I will engage in both friendly fire and revenge. My featured characters listed left to right are Ozzy, Moss, Candy, Wick, and Jenshi. Character types that I have marked on the list are human, anthro, and monster.

I offer to you my scrunkly guy. Thanks for the opportunity! :D
A digital illustration done by @queerestkitty on twitter. It's a bust portrait of my fursona, Avery, with a wink and a smile. He is based on a field spaniel dog with long ears and has cream colored fur with darker tufts on the edges of his face, shoulders, and chest. He has wavy brunette hair with a blond streak in the front styled into a fluffy mullet. He has brown eyes, silver 70's style glasses, and several piercings including rings at the ends of his ears, snake bites, labret, septum, and double eyebrow. My fursona, Avery, with a snickering expression and a hand over his mouth. The glare on his glasses covers his eyes to the viewer, giving him a mischievous look. A small caption is written beside him that says "muhehehe"

I have too many ffxiv ocs at this point lmao. There's a lot I didn't even put on here 😭 It would be fun to do a height chart with purely Jenshi's family members, he's got a big family tree. I tried to find some avatars with like, similar vibes at least? But this site is lacking

#bennyoc #jenshi
A chart comparing many of my OC's heights. The heights are not in any particularly organized order. From left to right we have Osiris at 5'6", Galtmaa (jenshi's mom) at 5'0", Jenshi at 7'4", Cynebil at 5'3", Gyo at 5'10", Del at 7'0", Absinth at 7'1", Andromeda at 6'7", Noelle at 6'0", and Sinclair at 6'7"

Jenshi does have a half brother, Del. He's on the mother's side of the family (which Jenshi has never met) and I haven't figured out how exactly they're all going to meet yet, if at all. But I think this is how it would go down if they do meet.

#jenshi #bennyoc #bennybeeart
A very rough digital concept or storyboard of a comic that shows Jenshi meeting his half brother, Del. There are 12 total panels reading from left to right, top to bottom. The first few panels show their mother calling for Del, and Del seems to be in the middle of a task when he hears the call but he comes running over to see what she wants. Their mother says "Do you remember when I told you about having a brother?" the panel then switches to Jenshi waving with a smile. Del responds by pointing and crying out "No way!! Is that him?!" in a very excited manner. Del approaches Jenshi with a huge smile and says "DUDE, you're fucking massive!!" and then asks, with a fiery expression, if he can try to lift Jenshi. The next panel cuts to Del trying with all his might to lift Jenshi off the ground, and then zooms into Jenshi standing on his tippy toes. Del feels very pleased with himself as he stands back with a huge grin plastered across his face. He is huffing and sweating after the obvious struggle, but says it was light work anyways. Jenshi is standing by with a thumbs up. After a moment to catch his breath Del's expression suddenly drops into one of awe and he says "Wait—" before rushing in to grab Jenshi into a very tight bear hug and yelling "FUCK YEA!!! I have a brother!!" A screenshot from the game FFXIV of my character Del Arulaq. He is a full Xaela Au ra with dark scales across his face and horns. He has a very short hair cut with dark hair and pink highlights. He also has golden eyes, they seem to run in the family. He has a gentle smile. A digital illustration of Del with his arms outstretched holding a small wand and casting a fire spell. He has a fiery expression to go along with the chaotic burst of light and sparks flying everywhere.

i have a lot but im spotlighting osiris and gyo <3

ozzy is my little autistic werewolf guy. gyo is my autistic lizard doctor guy. i love making characters trans and autistic. #bennyoc
a digital illustration by me of my character named osiris, affectionately referred to as ozzy most of the time. he is a trans man, and also a werewolf because we love transformations and body horror in this house. he is very pale with a lot of tattoos. he has three swords, chains, and centipedes tattooed on his neck, and a spider web with a spider on his cheek. he has three ear lobe piercings and two spiked piercings on his bottom lip (snake bites). he has dark, straight hair thats medium length and covers most of his eyes and upper face. he has a deadpan expression. a silly gif of my oc osiris spinning around. the style is very simplified. a digital illustration of my ffxiv oc gyo. he is a trans masc raen au ra with white horns, scales, and a long spindly tail. he is pale with strawberry blonde hair, dark sclera, and has bright peachy pink eyes with slit pupils. he's wearing a long, pink coat, white gloves, brown pants, and black knee high boots. this image is based off of a meme-y stock image of a man in a suit kneeling on the ground. in my rendition, gyo is saying "is this some sort of research" while another character is mostly offscreen, taking a photo with their phone and responding "yes." another digital illustration of my oc gyo. he's a scholar, so he has a fairy. gyo's fairy is unique to him so they have different colors than the ones in game. he's picture here nuzzling the fairy with his eyes closed and a calm smile. his fairy is nuzzling back and grabbing his nose while the rest of their body floats in front of his face.
