bullying the yellow orb

skyrim character: hey where did my cheese go || Nekrops, suspiciously cheese wheel shaped: idk man

no idea what you're talking about

[ravenekrops]

you know what. i'm not writing all of these in the tags

i absolutely LOVE researching lore-appropiate names for my OCs, it's a very important step of their development in my creation process :3 even tho after writing this list it seems i don't do it often enough... whoops 😑

in no particular order! let's see if i can remember them all... same color means same universe btw!

Larial Black (Undertale): Arial Black like the font but with an L at the front for that tiny sprinkle of originality (yes she's a skeleton yes she's the skelebros' elder sister yes i was a kid yes i was cringe AND free mind you 🙄)

Agnes Black: originally a gijinka of Horrortale!Larial Black, her surname retains its original meaning (aka nothing special or specific). can't remember why i chose Agnes as her name (there was some (ugh 🙄) religious meaning behind it but it's been long forgotten). but i gotta admit, her name meaning "chaste" and her ending up being aroace WAS a good coincidence so i'll just pretend i did that on purpose lol. also i just looove the word. Agnes... <3

Lisabel Black: Horrortale!Larial Black gijinka 2.0! now more bloodthirsty than ever! i liked the name Isabel but i thought it'd be a bit plain so i added the L at the front for that- you know the drill (but also to retain even more of her original character-ness)

Ryan "Jackal" Drake: 100% unabashed coolness factor (i WAS a kid for this one too, gimme a break!). in-universe explanation is that it's his stage name he chose when he decided to do crime after he arrived at the US

Eric O'Shea: Eric means "ever ruler" in Old Norse which is kind of true for the part he plays in his story, O'Shea is Irish (he's Irish) and also sounds like "ocean" and "sea" a bit. he comes from a family of fishermen. also i just like how it sounds :>

Léan O'Shea: pronounced Liam because i said so (idk how it's actually pronounced sorryyy). Irish name for an Irish child (even if she's adopted)

Luma/Heather (Undertale): "pluma" without the p. "feather" with an h. you can guess what type of anthro/furry she is lol

Vreytus: literally scrambled words together until they made sense phonetically. i wanted it to sound alien and mysterious. i probably have the original words i corrupted to get his name written somewhere but i am not looking it up -.-

Lee: ohhhhhh this is a fun one :3 when i first started doodling him i called him "long limbed guy", then "limbed" which shortened to "Lee" (yes i know that the "li-" from "limb" is pronounced with a shorter sound but i'm not a native speaker so idrc :p). later on i decided his full name would be Leroy but it's a "only using the full name when they're in trouble" kinda case (also it makes the long "ee" sound make sense now! whammo!)

Voirds: void + birds

Voirdity: void + bird + deity (🤯)

Rask'r (TESV): pronounced "raskur". argonian name generator

Raz: humanization of Rask'r, which also happens to be a real name. lucky me! seriously tho, it means "secret" in Hebrew. it's related to his backstory

Eva: short for Evangeline. Raz's most trusted friend

Mask (Undertale): self explanatory

Fangbeak (fursona (lol)): fang + beak (i know, mindboggling this one)

Diego (Pokémon): good sounding Spanish name for my favorite Paldean-residing-in-Unova boy :>

Donovan: from Old Irish "brown" and "dark". guess his hair color lol. okay i also wanted something that sounded old and uncommon since he's from the 1700s

Charles "Chad" Kevin Reeve (Half Life): honestly i just wanted an excuse to have a character named Chad lol. Reeve is Old English for "sheriff" or "local official" which fits his character as a bossy soldier. don't ask about the middle name, i have no idea

Lewis James Barnett (Half Life): honestly even after rechecking their meanings i got nothing for this one, chief. it made sense at the time... probably. something about famous scientists maybe? don't ask about the middle name, i have no idea either

Bug: simple nickname given by the scientists that captured it that just. stuck along lol

honorary mentions go to these unnamed but existing OCs:

Bovine dad (Undertale): there's... not much to him. sorry :1

Revenant Prince: the "protagonist" of an original D&D setting i still hope to finish some day :(

Human: Vreytus' partner, and the first human he properly meets after he finds his identity. the human shows him how humans live and also teaches him about relationships and connection

Why is your OC named what they're named? Is there a different reason in-universe than out-of-universe?

Glove Making: an adventure

first design:

wayyy too narrow. pulled some stitches to fit it in

otherwise, fingers fit nicely

thumb is too long, there's leftover space at the tip

second design:

still too narrow to fit, even after cutting the opening wider

wrong lenght of fingers

wrong lenght of grey fabric (too short)

tried doing something funky with the thumb, ended up overcomplicating the design (bad)

also did the thumb wrong, it's inside out

third design:

finally fits like a glove! (eheh)

cut the grey fabric too short, not enough seam allowance (VERY Bad)

had to add extra fabric to be able to sew it together properly

there are holes i couldn't sew between the fingers (not pictured)

fingers fit delightfully, no leftover room

the stitching on the fingers is visible (and ugly)

overall i'm happy that i finally have a definitive design but by the gods it's taken me literally hours and weeks of handstitching work and trial and error because i don't have a sewing machine hahah

[nekropsdraws]

what i've been busy with lately:

i'm making myself a partial fursuit!! right now i'm working on the wing sleeves while i wait for the materials for the tail to arrive. nobody told me sewing was so much fun, i'm having a blast here even tho i have to handsew everything since i don't own a sewing machine ×~×

the mask is what i fear is going to be hellishly hard...
