✨Welcome to my tiny corner of Bluesky!✨

So I recently started drawing again. I love creating cool characters and monsters and have begun working towards a little graphic novel of my very own.
(Thanks so much for stopping by. It means a lot.) 💜

Front and back rotations.

Ezlo's outfit is all done. She's a member of an alien race which I have called "Yerggie." (Their feet are almost as dexterous as their hands!)
Anyway I can move onto the next character design now.

#art #drawing #characterdesign #oc #ocart #alien
Ezlo is a member of a alien race known as "Yerggie." They kind look like hairless bipedal rats. They have long noses, charismatic long ears and long think tails. Ezlo in particular has a mohawk like plume of hair atop her head.

I've tweaked Ezlo's character design. She now has a prosthetic leg.
This is essentially a reference sheet for myself so the new limb is only partially rendered. (I'm looking forward to designing her outfit so much!)

#art #drawing #characterdesign #oc #ocart #scifi #alien
Imagine if you took a small monkey and a rat and blended them into one critter. Now imagine its hairless, with one fantastic plume of hair atop its head, like a mohawk and that it stands on its hind legs. That's Ezlo. She's an alien known as a "Yerggie." Due to an injury obtained in early childhood she has a prosthetic leg.

Revisiting a pre-existing character design...

A screenshot of a drawing in its early stages; a digitigrade robotic leg, with two toes and a third thumb like digit.

"Congrats on the 10k @magicalscope.bsky.social !
Ok - er - so I've to drawing after a decade hiatus. I wanna make a graphic novel. Just working through some character designs right now.
Anyway, toots!"

Rear rotation. If any of ya'll would like to see more of the cybernetic arm, just ask, and I'll drop the skteches down too.

Finally got around to finishing Scab's outfit. I made a couple of design tweaks, including a new cybernetic arm. (I hadn't initially planned to give them one so the pose didn't take it into account. It's rather obscured. Sorry!)

Rear rotation in the comments as usual.

#art #characterdesign
I didn't sleep last night! Let me think about how to describe them...er... Ok. ok, ok, so, like, they're a bipedal alien, know as "Elder Kin." They're humanoid, but they have an extra set of arms set slightly forward and below the first. They have a loose top that conforms to their torso, with four sleaves, each rolled up to the elbow. Slim, tighter, sleaves protrude from beneath and run all the way down to the hands, with holes for the thumbs, suggesting they wear a tighter, snug top under the first. On top of all that they wear a "halter." It is, essentially, a cropped, sleeveless jacket, from which the upper arms protrude, it hugs the upper chest and is neatly toped by a little hood. They wear the baggiest, low rise pants you ever saw, with excessively large pockets and a chunky belt, all neatly cuffed, just above the ankles by footwear that exposes their toes. Four canisters, filled with some kind of liquid jut out from their upper back, they wear a some kind of visor, seemingly technologically quite complex with four ear like protrusions; sensorily arrays. Oh! Oh! Also one of their arms is a cybernetic limb. There. I ran out of steam. Have it.

Resuming work on this guy. 💜

Sorry for the lack of posts. My time has been somewhat contested recently. Consider me "miffed."

I don't like posting full WIPs but a whole lot of this is going to be obscured by all those arms and hands (especially that cybernetic prosthetic) so have at.

#art #drawing #characterdesign #artwip #alien
A WIP of an alien OC. Their race is known as Elder Kin. The stand upright on two legs, are tall and lean and have four arms. Typical to their race, their attire is loose fit.

Further exploration of Elder Kin attire, without the shawl.

Rear rotation in the comments.

#art #drawing #characterdesign #creaturedesign #alien
Elder Kin are a four armed bipedal race, tall, lean and sinuous. They wear masks, to cover their faces, each one is unique to its owner. Their attire is of a relatively loose fit (they were once a very nomadic race so ease of movement was preferable) however it is usually cinched at the waste with belts or wraps to keep things in place.

Spent the last couple of weeks working on Elder Kin attire, a sort of "fashion ground zero" for their race.

Oh. You noticed the staff? They use that to perform feats of telekinesis and such.

Rear rotation in the comments.

#art #drawing #characterdesign #creaturedesign #alien
Elder Kin are a four armed bipedal race, tall, lean and sinuous. They wear masks, to cover their faces, each one is unique to its owner. Shawls are very common, often worn over the head like a hood, cascading over the shoulders and down the back. The rest of their attire is of a relatively loose fit (they were once a very nomadic race so ease of movement was preferable) however it is usually cinched at the waste with belts or wraps to keep things in place.

Gave Norbert a face lift.

A head portrait of a humanoid alien. A metal visor, which appears to be crumbling away at the edges, covers their eyes. Beneath they bare a skull like jaw full of exposed teeth.

I didn't render the complete rotation as I realised...I didn't need to. XD

Ginx finally has clothes!
I've included lore in the alt text and I will include a complete turnaround in the comments.

#art #drawing #characterdesign #oc #ocsky #alien
Ginx is a member of a race known as "Yerggie." At approximately 4ft tall they aren't the slightest bit imposing but they're innately resourceful and technologically very competent, typically working as scientists or engineers. They are not prone to travelling but the majority have been forced into nomadic lifestyles and are quite sparsely scattered throughout the galaxy as their home planet was tragically lost in conflict.

The aliens are finally getting clothes!

#art #drawing #artwip #wip
Forgive me for I have "memed"

Big round glasses, short hair with a substantial mass of messy fringe, freckles and a MASSIVE oversized coat. That's Lenny. XD

(Now I have to actually clothe the rest of my reject cast.)

#art #drawing #characterdesign #oc #ocsky
Front view. A scrawny nerd. Full character rotation. Still a scrawny nerd XD

Been busy with my latest and final #oc in my roster.

#art #drawing #characterdesign #wip #artwip #ocsky
Work in progress.

rat-scribbles.bsky.social
So I've just been re-rendering and redrawing everyone. (Hence the rapid fire posts. This is the last Sorry!!!)
That's all my character designs are up to date now, at least.

Anyway this is Ginx, another alien. (Ezlo's dad.) Hope you like them.

#art #drawing #characterdesign #ocsky #alien
Like Elzo he is completely hairless and stands at a mighty 4ft tall. Imagine a perfect blend between a monkey and a rat, with HUGE batty ears and that's Ginx. XD

This is Scab. They're a member of a race known as "Elder Kin."
The back gear is necessary to keep they guy functioning. Despite their appearance they ain't nothing but a sweet nerd.
(Re-rendered.)

#art #drawing #characterdesign #ocsky #oc #alien
Tall and lanky, they just about exceed six foot. They have four arms and four canisters, filled with a curious fluid which protrude from their back. Tubes hang from them, looping back into the skin. They wear a visor, which hides their eyes but it can't hide their goofy grin.
June 13, 2025 at 7:44 AM

Meet Ezlo. She's an alien.
(Re-rendered.)

#art #drawing #characterdesign #ocsky #oc #alien
She stands just over 3ft tall. (I REALLY need to come up with a name for her race!!!) Other than an impressive mohawk like plume upon her head, she is completely hairless. She has a long, rat like nose, HUGE pleading eyes (that you can never say "no" to) and a very long tail.

I've just been very busy with a stack of WIPs.
Have a bunch of random screenshots.

#art #artwip #drawing #characterdesign
A torso with twise the number of arms it should have. A friend of mine calls these guys "space rats." Some weird bendy anatomy with canisters and tubes protruding out of it. More weirdness...

Norbet's behind.

I'm looking forward to actually colouring my ocs, eventually. (I draw in shades of red.)

I'm not sure " #alien " suits these guys cause they aren't exactly from another planet, they're from another realm.
Anyway that's Norbert's redesign finished for now. (I hope.)

Rear angle will be in the comments.

#art #drawing #characterdesign #oc #ocsky
Four armed "alien" oc. They stand upright, tall and very lanky, almost skeletal. A dilapidated, rusty, metallic visor hovers over their eyes and a skeletal jaw pokes out from bellow.
