z-a got me missing my old pokemon gijinka ocs.... I should draw them again

here's one i did of my ghost girls

pair of drawings on the same page. The top one is a duskull gijinka: she has grey-brown hair tied back into a bun, an eyepatch, a hoodie with sleeves that are too long, and lighter-brown trousers.
The bottom one features the duskull again, along with lampent, froslass and drifloon. The first three have varying shocked expressions, but drifloon looks delighted by something.

OC-tober day 9 - angst
in her student days, sarisse caused an accident that got her rival disgraced and two people killed. she ran away, but sometimes her fears catch up to her...
#oc_tober2025 #stormythoc_tober2025

drawing of an elven woman in a messy shirt and corset with hair sloppily tied up in a high bun. her expression is one of despair as she clutches her head in her hands. 'IT'S YOUR FAULT', 'YOU KILLED THEM', and 'MURDERER' surround her head, as if they were thoughts she was trying desperately to shut out.

OC-tober day 8 - meme redraw
I did this in 20 mins. Nothing could capture their vibe better.

drawing of two figures, heavily simplified. The left one is a well-dressed individual with cat ears and glasses. They're squatting down and grinning as if they want to cause So Much Chaos. However, the right figure has them in a toddler harness and held back. No chaos for you this time, Montblanc.
The right figure is tall, and has curled horns and a ponytail. Only their eyes are shown but it's enough to imply that they are Done With This Shit.

OC-tober day 7 - magazine cover
as an unintentional public figure, ezrith is the most likely to get his own spread! this sort of challenge is also great fun for worldbuilding nuggets :3
#oc_tober2025 #stormythoc_tober2025

drawing of a mock magazine cover. the magazine title is PRISM by GrimCorp, and the focus is a tall man with braided hair pulled back into a cloud-like ponytail. he has one hand in his hair and the other on his belt.
the rest of the cover reads:
EXCLUSIVE! Sollandra's youngest solar emissary spills all
PLUS The musicians stealing our hearts
The best and cheapest ArcanoTech gifts for you
and a bar code reading 'don't steal'

OC-tober day 4 - fav duo
idk about overall favourite but lorelei and amara are occupying most of my brain space right now so :shrug:
#oc_tober2025 #stormythoc_tober2025

drawing of two women floating above the ocean. the front one is probably scared, but the back one is holding her hands reassuringly. the back one has a skirt made of the ocean flowing down from a corset-like bodice.

OC-tober day 3 - opposite personality
I think drawing locksley (who's usually a grouchy stick-in-the-mud) like this gave me a headache. they are allergic to flirting
#oc_tober2025 #stormythoc_tober2025

drawing of an uncharacteristically cheerful angelic humanoid in armour. they're winking and holding an arm out.

OC-tober day 1 - redesign an old OC
Saskia is one of my earliest OCs! she's a shut-in who turns out to be a fairy changeling. I looked through some of my old art and she seemed to always be in a jumper so I gave her an oversized one bc it's cute as heck
#oc_tober2025 #stormythoc_tober2025

An uncoloured drawing of a shy-looking girl. She's wearing an oversized jumper, jeans, fluffy slippers and a scarf. On her back are a pair of fairy wings.
