Hello! I'm humbly presenting to you my tumblr sexymen. Also I am working on an animated series with them, but I'll try to not infodump too much.
Tumblr media
Sziliana on the left, lv. 23, Harpy beastman, any pronouns. Absolutely unhindered, no filter or concept of personal space. 50% violent thug, 50% flamboyant, overdramatic fuckboy who loves to be the center of attention and really wants to be a famous gangster. In her free time, she flirts with ungodly amounts of women, works out, and watches WWE. Also, she is always wearing heels and is capable of fully sprinting in them (scary).
On the right, her best friend and companion in misery: Ivo. 27 y.o., Demon, He/Him. Every night wishes he would never wake up; too bad Szili won't let him. Cynical about everything, hates everybody, but most of all himself. Survives off of coffee, aspirin, and very loud metal in the middle of the night. Self-proclaimed anarchist and punk. Also, he is really good with guns, so don't make him angry; he will shoot and he won't miss.
More art of the two :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They both belong to my story: Gang for Rent, which is a comedy-action show about the daily, disastrous shenanigans of a small gang that Szili is the leader of, and Ivo was the first member (he had no choice). Lots of explosions, cartoon violence, sci-fi and fantasy bullshit mixed together, all of that packed with deviantart-era OC whimsy. Also, kinda not for kids :D
MORE HERE and on my blog ofc, because I constantly draw and talk about them. I already produced a minute-long animatic of the first scene and I am super proud of it, since it's my absolute passion project!
thank you for sharing!!!

Sorry for my bad English it's not my first language but I'd like to introduce you to my favorite oc in the comic series I've been working on for the past 3 years.
Behold: Denys Alexandrovitch Dokoleskov (1986-2022). The cinnamon roll, and main character's father.
Tumblr media
Short summary: Denys was both an airline pilot and single father of my main character, Anichka Denishka Dokoleska. He loved flying, yet the only thing he loved more than flying was his daughter. After the unexpected death of his wife due to complications during the birth of the main character, Denys decided not to remarry but to raise Anichka alone with the aid of a friendly elderly neighbor who lived across the hall in their apartment, who would watch young Anichka when her father is at work. Denys was an optimistic, friendly character who is not only adorable, but he was always happy to give anyone a helping hand and was always happy to spread kindness in the community. He was always smiling, even in the very end where his life was cut short at just 35 years old. He was murdered by one of eastern europes most infamous serial killers, and the third highest ranking member of the terrorist group that Anichka would face off against 8 years later in 2030, at just 16 years old.
Even shorter summary: Happy Ukrainian boi flies airplanes and gets killed while single handedly raising his then 8 year old daughter, who later becomes a national hero.
thank you for sharing!!!!!

Tumblr media
Shiryu was created by some sort of necromancer during the war between humans and monsters and has been alive ever since.
He was made using a tall human skeleton that was covered in a dragon-like monster's dust for some reason.
Despite being centuries old, he rarely acts like it. He's laid back, playful, loves making fun of people shorter than him and joking about his age, often telling people different numbers if they ask.
His nasal cavity only looks the way it does because of the way his past human life ended; an axe between their eyes, though Shiryu doesn't remember this, he can only guess because of the way the crack looks.
You should never let him in a kitchen. All he can cook is fire, but he forgets that every time.
He's scared of big bodies of water, so he never really leaves Hotland or New Home, though he isn't especially weak to it. The most damage it does to him is it puts out the flame on the tip of his tail and temporarily and causes him discomfort. He guesses the fear came from one or both of his past lives.
Oh and he also plays the viola :)

Thank you for providing this! May I introduce the heroines of my first book, The Price and Prey of Magic?
Tumblr media
Yew is a girl with a curse who makes the questionable decision to apprentice herself to a dark sorcerer. She hopes she can learn enough magic to lift the curse. She might've been better off accepting the curse.
Eider's a socialite who finds herself on the wrong end of a magical spell which takes away her hands -- but she's not going to let it take away her future.
My heroines are both desperate to salvage their lives, and their fates are far more closely intertwined than either would like. And when they finally have the chance to change their lives, they won't necessarily be on the same side.
I love both of these characters so much, and love getting the chance to talk about them. If you'd like to learn more about them and their story, check out my writing blog.
incredible! thank you for sharing!!

omg omg
have him (art by @shiroi---kumo )
Tumblr media
his name is terälehti. he's a librarian/archivist for the royal family and ended up there because he's shy and very nice. he's like 6' tall, built like a toothpick, and loves to read and write. very softspoken in person, very critical of politics in his writing.
his necklace was forged by his best friends, made of their souls' essences so he could have a piece of them with him always. his earring was forged by his other best friend in the same manner. his horns are made of ruby. also his hair is the softest thing you will ever touch and he gives wonderful hugs.
and yes watermelon jokes ARE permissible
he lives on my sideblog ( @aquaticsoul ) if you ever wanna check him out-
thank you for giving me somewhere to ramble about one of my many puff children
thank you for sharing!!!

Oh hey !! Crazy seeing you here ha ha … what brings you round these parts?? Um …… come here often???
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here are some of my fellas… top right we’ve got Christopher Rucix! Main antagonist (and also protagonist sometimes) of my story ‘Bloodlines.’ He is very insane. He does way too many drugs. He is haunted by the spirit of his dead wife, of whom he killed. He is so insane he thinks his son killed her. Only crime was being born!! He is sooo crazy and insane I need to SMUSH HIM LIKE A BUG!!!
Then henry 😇😇😇 John Henry Francis ISNT a bloodlines chatacter instead he is an albertan. He’s a guy who pretends to be a priest to cover up his trail of murders and is also a cowboy he’s kinda awesome and very… scourgecore
Then comes JOSEPH AND LEAH!!! I love them so much look at how happy they are! They get divorced. Chris’s fault. Joseph can teleport and Leah and shapeshift and i can talk about them forever in fact i do have basically every week of Jo’s whole life in my head. Picture attached is them when they first met in the early 2000s while Jo was home temporarily from war and was visiting the bar/inn Leah worked at.
Bottom right is Magnolia ❤️❤️❤️ six foot tall lesbian with three very big scary dogs she can read minds 😇 although because she can read minds she’s been reduced to social anxiety and noise reducing headphones… she is yet another consequence to the actions of Chris
I can totally go on but dear account owner I spare you the time… thank u for looking at them I wish you the bestest of days !! See you soon
thank you for sharing!!!!!

oooo these kind of blogs are always so fun! Figured I'd toss in my kiddos
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, I port them into p much every fandom I'm in. They were originally from VLD, as fankids of the main & supporting characters. Alex (she/her, 20nb) is the child of Shiro & Keith, & she pilots the Red lion & is a Blade. Tess (she/her, 19f) is the daughter of Ina and Ryan (I pioneered this ship 🫡) and she works on the Atlas as a translator. Niylin (he/him, 22m) is the son of Allura and Lance & pilots the Blue lion, as well as being an alchemist.
It would take far too long to summarize their storylines bc it spreads over 30yrs lol. I'm writing a comic for them (currently on hiatus) maybe I'll come back w a link when I pick it up again
I'll add a couple ports instead
Dragonriders of Pern port, specifically for an rp forum. The three of them are dragonriders. Alex (had to change her name to Alete per plot rules) rides the Brown Wulleth, Tess rides the Green Dioth, and Niylin is bonded to the Bronze Orianth & is a medic. (havent finished their thread banners yet so I only have niylins)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
COD port. I've really only drawn Alex for it bc she's my fave oc lol. She's a Lt, specializes in close combat/stealth/demolitions. Was previously a fighter pilot. Tess is a civilian contractor, translator/interpreter. Niylin is a sniper/medic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warrior Cats (specifically Clangen) this is for an actively running save on my sideblog @sparky-draws these were from Moon 24, we're on Moon 30 as of me writing this so there's some inconsistencies
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've got some misc art of them too (again, mostly Alex lol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
we'll end it off w this picrew!

thanks for giving ppl the opportunity to share <3

Here's my beloved!!
Tumblr media
This is Antònio! He is an Italian-American elementary school teacher. He's around 25 years old. He's married to his wonderful husband. He's transmasc and has 3 wonderful children.
One of his main goals is to find peace and acceptance with his crazy family. Since he's human and a lot of his in-laws have some sort of power, he's trying to understand them, but a lot of the time fails. However, he still loves them and tends to be pretty protective over them.
My favorite bit about him is that he is very confusing and is a lovable "old man."
oh i love this i'd love to know more! thank you for sharing!!

HELL YEAH SOMEWHERE ELSE I CAN INFODUMP ABOUT SUNSHINE!!!
OK so hi hello, I'll tag my related blog at the bottom since that's where I talk about her and what franchise she's in so anyone who's interested can check out the things I've got for her there
Starting off! Her full name is Sunshine Fairfield and she's a half-elf sorcerer-bard in the world of DnD podcast The Adventure Zone. She's an eighth bird, which for those who haven't listened to the podcast means that she's a part of a group of people who ended up in a sort of universe-hopping time loop for 100 years. They ended up separated in the last universe and year... 101 I think? Due to a choice one of them made that resulted in almost all of them losing memory of the century and each other. A few of them ended up leading normal lives, but some of them had complications with that. I could go super super in depth with this just because of how much I love the Adventure Zone, but for the sake of the character limit, that's essentially the long story short for how it all starts out.
I'm in the process of writing a whole story for her and I've almost finished the Crystal Kingdom arc, for those who know. What I haven't written, I've at least mapped out, though the Eleventh Hour arc is kind of an exception and so are some parts of Stolen Century.
As some basic information on Sunshine herself, like I mentioned she's a half-elf sorcerer-bard with emphasis on the bard part. At the time of the story starting, she's in about her thirties, and the life she ends up leading in their last universe is one of a traveling performer, using her magic to help with special effects.
If or when this gets posted, I'll reblog from @institute-of-planar-shitposts to kinda lay out what parts of the story I have written and talk about what I haven't yet. I'm always happy to answer questions about her, and my pinned has some links to things related to her that I have here on tumblr. It should include her tag - I'm actually going to check that and make sure. Thanks for reading!
thank you for sharing!!

Hiii! Found your Tumblr yesterday and was so happy to see a Tumblr dedicated to OC sharing! We all know how hard it is to be an OC creator as people tend to overlook OCs a lot so having a space for them here was such an amazing idea!
I, myself, love to share my OCs around and see other's OCs so I would love to share these two cuties from my original story with you all!
Tumblr media
This beautiful art was a commission I ordered from the sweet Calmomila, one of my favorite TLK artists.
If you don't mind I'd like to take advantage of this piece to explain a bit about these two girls (more of an info dump, I'M SO SORRY FSKJFKDJS) because I am totally crazy over them. *screams* The one standing is Thabisa, the leader of the Jabulani pride, which is a pride that consists only of females, they are seen as atypical and other prides don’t appreciate their ways, however, they are also feared because they are extremely capable lionesses and are known to drive away males trying to invade their territory, especially the ones who still follow the old ways as they do not approve these (my story happens during a period of change, prides are slowly appropriating the new ways, basically the old ways are just like how lions work in real life, while the new ways work kinda like the The Lion King world, but with a few differences). The Jabulani pride is a very unique pride, with their own culture and rules.
The one lying down is Matimba, she is a trans lioness that had a very rough past and wasn’t well accepted by her previous pride. She was kicked out of the pride after she finally got the courage to face them about their acts of prejudice towards her, especially towards her incomplete mane, for which she was bullied. Unfortunately for her, their territory wasn’t far away from the sandy lands where the Jabulani pride lives and she ends up getting lost into a totally different biome than what she was used to, not being able to thrive alone due to the lack of experience and adaptation. She was found by Thabisa and some of her lionesses weeks later, she was severely dehydrated and malnourished, could barely get up. Together the females were able to move Matimba to a safe place within their territory and took care of her for the next months.
Once Matimba gained some of her strength back, she finally started to introduce herself, she wasn’t sure if she could trust them yet so she still presented herself as Mavuto, her now dead name, quickly she started to realize there was no need to hide her true self, Thabisa knew the signs and to Matimba’s surprise, she was totally fine with her being trans. She was loved and cared for since the day she was found and it didn’t take too long for her to finally feel at home, a home where she could finally be herself. The name Matimba was suggested by Thabisa when she decided she wanted to get rid of her birth name, not only because it was a male name, but also because it gave her some sad memories that she wanted to let go, she didn’t feel right with it anymore. The name means “strength” and that was how Thabisa started to see her after finding out about her past: a representation of courage and strength. I am an avid shipper of these two, I don’t care if I am the creator and if people find it cringe for a creator to ship their own OCs, I'mma shipping them until the day I die, I love them so much.
Thank you so much for creating this blog and I hope you are having a great week! :D
i'm telling you guys there is no cringe only joy here!!! im glad you're loving this, this is the whole point!

ahh this blog has such a fun concept!! here’s my silly! there’s a lot to say about him so please excuse my ramblings XD
kento is a bnha oc i’ve recently revamped. he was originally created years ago and just.. wasn’t written or designed all that well, so i’ve fixed him up and have been using him more!
the short version of his story is that he was originally quirkless, and was offered the opportunity to obtain a quirk when he was about to graduate middle school. he ended up falling into the hands of a team of scientists experimenting with the transfer of quirks, and became a test subject.
for almost a year, he was trapped there, until the league of villains broke in to steal subjects for nomu creation. he escapes and is helped home with the assistance of pro heroes, and later decides to go to UA to become one and stop the quirk experimentation + protect those who were captured like him.
some little fun facts about him~
loves emo and goth fashion
really likes sanrio (his favorite character is piano)
actually doesn’t care to put a label on his gender, but uses he/they
in a poly relationship with kirishima and bakugou
origami angel and crushes bones’ biggest fan
loves any sweet food
i’m always so nervous to show him to new audiences, since a lot of aspects about him could potentially be seen as cringe or just turn people away, but i’m trying my best to break out of that fear and share my son with more people ^^ he’s a super cool and chill guy i promise!!
if anyone wants to see more content of him, i have a tag for both him and his boyfriends on my blog! kento sasaki and kenribaku, respectively.
thank you for sharing!! there's no cringe only joy here

um um um !!! shyly presents my silly little guys,,,,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
( sorry all the art i have of them is SUPER old ;o; )
but here are my goofy little guys !!
mao is a catboy ex-deity of luck who is trying to grant the wish of xander, a young and hopeful yet adorably naive inventor who doesnt really know what his wish is quite yet,,, ?? but theyre both working on figuring it out together !!
mao originally only stuck around helping xander in hopes of granting his wish to gain back his deity status, but after realizing the High Council ( the guys up top in charge of the deities ) had no intentions of bringing him back as a deity even if he could grant his wish, he found himself searching for some sort of purpose in his newly-mortal form. and so, he joins xander as they both go on journeys of self-discovery in hopes of finding their place in the world, and of course having their fair share of shenanigans along the way !
theyre very unfinished rn and their lore has been a work in progress for like four years now so sorry if some things here dont make sense TTOTT ;;;;;;;;;
Thank you for sharing!!!! I love them!
