Day 31 of OC-Tober.

Finally, it's the last day of OC-Tober. It's been quite an endurance, but I'm happy that I managed to get every day. I figured it's only fitting to end this year with the OC I that started with last year.

Meet Jenny: Goddess of Life and Death.

Day 30 of OC-Tober.

I figured I needed to have a Halloween-themed character before the month ends, so I made a basic witch alchemist.

Meet Vivian.

Day 29 of OC-Tober.

I got around to designing a primary antagonist to my hero gal from day ten. I wanted to keep the bug naming convention while integrating actual insectoid features.

Meet Locust.

Day 28 of OC-Tober.

More Circus characters. Wanted to add a final clown to the group. I wanted him to give him a more magic flair to him, and I based his suave personality on a speakeasy bartender.

Meet Aster.

Day 27 of OC-Tober.

Didn't have much time today; settled for a redesign. Expanding the monarchy with the king's brother, and personal bodyguard.

Meet Kaliber.

Day 26 of OC-Tober.

More animal droids, less time to do them. Made a Snake Drone. Unabashedly XCOM inspired, but I wanted to give it Kunai with chains cause I thought they would be cool.

Day 25 of OC-Tober.

The final sin of the 7. I wanted to have a central figure for the group. With the nature of this guy, I pictured him as having a hold on the other's souls and uses them to spread his influence.

Meet the Sin of Greed.
October 26, 2023 at 12:24 AM
Day 24 of OC-Tober.

Even more circus archetypes. I always love giving my circus characters a theme À la Poppy=cotton candy, and Ozzy = snake oil salesman. I went full Victorian/steampunk with this one.

Meet (aptly named) Victoria: the Sword Swallower.

Day 23 of OC-Tober.

Yeah, I totally phoned it in with this one. I just made her a sludge monster.

Meet the Sin of Sloth.
October 24, 2023 at 12:02 AM
Day 22 of OC-Tober.

Doing another redesign. Since I've been figuring out how these little critters can have "hair", I've been experimenting a lot more with it. I chose a peculiar one to work with this time. She's the older, overly-protective big sister of Lou.

Meet Luci.

Day 21 of OC-Tober.

More deadly sins. Made him a skeleton in celebration of the upcoming holiday.

Meet the Sin of Pride.
October 21, 2023 at 8:10 PM
Day 20 of OC-Tober.

More circus archetypes. I think I phoned it in with this one, but I didn't think I could do this day with out them as a duo. It just wouldn't work.

Meet Trapeze artists: Ethan & Eleanor
October 21, 2023 at 1:33 AM
Day 19 of OC-tober.

More sins to make, less time to make them. Here's Envy.
October 19, 2023 at 9:19 PM
Day 18 of OC-Tober.

I had an abstract idea of an entire pantheon for my Celestials. I wanted to add some more onto since I don't have enough to build a reputable system.

Starting with Physila, the Goddess of Nature.
October 19, 2023 at 1:55 AM
Day 17 of OC-Tober.

I wanted to keep a level of intimidation for each of the sins, and someone suggested a wendigo for my next one.

Here's the sin of Gluttony.
October 18, 2023 at 2:02 AM
Day 16 of OC-Tober.

Needed more robots in my roster. Wanted to be more casual angle with the design, and give a more "civilian" approach.

Meet "Ten."
October 17, 2023 at 5:42 AM
Day 15 of OC-Tober.

Gonna finish up the rest of the 7 deadly sins as I go into the second half of the month.

Meet the Sin of Wrath.
October 15, 2023 at 10:09 PM
Day 14 of OC-Tober.

Wanted to expand my circus crew with another archetype. With the strongman, I wanted something a little bit different with the design while still retaining some key features that are associated with the role.

So I created Lukas a.k.a. "The Russian Bear"
October 15, 2023 at 1:33 AM
Day 13 of OC-Tober.

I wanted my big green Celestial Gage to be a mutated version of his regular species; a brute in a tribe of timid naturalists who nurtured him into a caring, strong defender of the tribe.

Meet Lyra: leader of the tribe, and Gage's mother.
October 14, 2023 at 3:27 AM
Day 12 of OC-Tober.

For today, I'm doing my first redesign of the month. I would've liked to do whole new OCs only, but this guy was in need of a redesign. Also, it's an excuse to draw more celestials.

Meet Quark's best friend: Lou.
October 12, 2023 at 9:48 PM
Day 11 of OC-Tober.

I wanted to try my hand at developing my own interpretations of specific archetypes, so I went for one of the most common sets of archetypes to replicate: the 7 deadly sins.

I started out with Lust.
October 12, 2023 at 1:45 AM
Day 10 of OC-Tober.

For the entire time I've spent as an artist not once did I have a superhero/superhero-oriented OC's/designs, so I finally went for one.

Meet local crimefighter, Hornet.
October 11, 2023 at 2:01 AM
Day 9 of OC-Tober.

Definitely the most scuffed one so far, but I needed something.

I wanted to expand on the world of the Celestials and the reason they reside in a kingdom; have a danger that resides outside the walls. So here's (one form) of a corrupted Celestial.
October 10, 2023 at 1:55 AM
Day 8 of OC-Tober.

Creating more Celestial characters, and wanted to round out some more families. I created the dad of Emi, and ruler of the Celestial Kingdom.

Meet King Eli.
October 9, 2023 at 1:36 AM
Day 7 of OC-Tober.

Been rocking Phantom Liberty since release (or at least trying to). I wanted to add on to my assortment of robot/android girls cause they're neat.

Meet Naomi.
