#OC-tober2023

[oc-tober2023]

I got too excited so you can have this year's oc-tober art prompts!

IMPORTANT! It has been brought to my attention that this years mistake is me writing the word ritual twice, once on the 2nd and once on the 23rd, so to combat this, please use the first ritual as something the oc does on a daily basis and the second one as an actual ritual, I deeply apologise for any confusion this may cause 😔

Please tag me in your art so I can reblog it without having to rely on tumblr's horrific search engine

Anyway! Please don't overexert yourself and remember to have fun!

day 3 of @oc-tober2023's prompts is daily rituals, or something the oc does on a daily basis. and since the kitchen becomes a huge mess once everyone's awake, maurice always gets up extra early and enjoys his 30 minutes of peace and quiet where its just him and the dogs

Day 1: Home following the prompts from @oc-tober2023

It's nice to have a home after so many years

To have a nice bed to go back to after a long day

And for it to be all mine

No one can lock me out

No one can lock me in

It is my home.

OCtober day 7 - personality

the first drawing was supposed to be part of the relationships prompt from day 5, but i decided to re-frame it and i drew the second one to accompany it.

aka, the boys being similar but also very different!

(more info/prompt credits under the cut)

beware a Seph and David tangent below

with the first one i kinda wanted to illustrate the difference in how they approach an accusation xd? so David defaults into being like "dw, im all good, the blood isnt mine, im not hurt" completely ignoring what he was ACTUALLY accused of, while Seph immediately jumps to "dw, yea i did some fucked up shit, but some of that blood is mine so i couldn't have been THAT violent", kind of already "punishing" himself in a way?

the other one is just a difference of how they express their anger/murderous intent. i imagine Seph was probably very explosive with his anger for a while (definitely not as much as David tho, no one can match that man's level of pure unbridled rage), but by the end of the story he becomes much more... calculated in it? like he's less likely to snap and more likely to start threatening someone in a low voice, looking at them menacingly, while David just goes off xd

OC-tober day 10: Mercy (prompt from @oc-tober2023)

Clarity and her wolfdog familiar Mercy. Wild mages like Clarity share their minds with the animals they take as familiars, meaning that if you make the large predator feel very unsafe, you might not get any mercy from either of them.

i wanna try to do a bit of oc art this october, using @oc-tober2023's prompt list! the first prompt is Home. So the town they live in is made up of three valleys, the first one is where most of the actual town is and where most of them live, the second valley is mostly uninhabited marshland and a lake and then the third one is farmland, and that's where Lucky & Maurice grow up.

I'm not sure how much i'll do for this cause i still wanna do fanart mostly, but i'll try to do sketches like these whenever i feel like it :] just to get a bit of inspiration going

[tgsofu]

*breathes* Ok ok social media exists, time for my annual attempt at something resembling activity!

I have drawn shittons... too much to upload BUT what I can upload are my entries thus far for this nice oc-tober made by @bweirdart!

Fave OC: Kai

Good ol Acer tho I'm trying hard to train my brain to start using his reboot name Kai!

2. New OC: Phoebe

Phoebe is a passionate over-achiever who lives off fiction and posesses crazy amounts of trivia covering all of his favourite media works. As a Chosen One, she is driven by her will to learn, experience and interact with as many of her many favourite worlds and characters as possible. As a competitive person she strives to "100% complete" everything she does or learns, and as such is bound to be a very formidable hero.

3. Old OC: Judge

Once the first resident and founder of Garden, she has since come to regret everything that came out of it. Now, she seeks to wipe the slate clean and erase the mistake of her own making.

4. Re-design: Riku

In the olden days, Riku started out as a crackship child in a collaborative impro story, which I've remodeled into an original story with revamped characters.

Riku is one of the last remaining embodiments of two worlds come together, and is seeking a way to restore the connection between the two -- no matter the cost.

5. Relationships: The Garden Gang

This story has too many main characters with too many unknown dynamics, I tried to help myself figure that out with this one. Gods, don't spend too much time trying to decipher this one.

6. Symbol Skipped to do a bday art piece for @kaikkivoipasaatana! I know a lot of you fell headover heels for Astarion, but I'm sorry, her OC Zaiku and Astarion are the one true fated pair and you can never convince me otherwise

7. Personality: The Garden Gang

Same as with the relationships, these guys despertately require fleshing out!

8. Past: Phoebe Phoebe (Phantom☆) and Felix (Nate)

Lived out their childhoods joined at the hip, playing games and consuming media!

9. Future: Phantom☆ and Nate After losing contact for some years, they're back together and ready to end the world!

10. Palette week #1: In the woods

This one was just speeddoodle thing since I was very tired in the evening lol

DAY 1: "Home"

I'm Late to the party, but here nonetheless XD And for day 1 I have Stitches, a half orc life cleric who yearns for nothing more than her home.

You see, she used to be the local medicine woman in a retired little village that saw little traffic. But the locals liked it that way. There, Stitches was known as Gaaia; more a title than a name, really. Before that, she had been Rhea, the previous Gaaia's apprentice and after she took her master's place, she took a Rhea of her own.

Life wasn't easy in the little village, but the people made the best of it, and they were happy. But that happiness was not lo last, as an raiding force one day swept through the village, putting most of the locals to death, carrying off some others and burning what was left behind.

Gaaia was one of the very few that survived, but only barely. Rhea had not been so lucky.

The old woman was saved when a group of adventurers found the ruined village 2 days later. They were looking for a quiet place to nurse their own wounds and to bring back one of their fallen comrades. Gaaia had heard of such magics, but had never witnessed them before. After the corpse drew breath once more, she begged the cleric that he bring back her Rhea as well, but he was out of materials for such a feat.

The local goddess had never given anyone such powers in all her known history, so, securing a promise from the cleric, that he would perform the rite if she gathered the necessary materials, she set off to the nearest city.

She found it in bad shape; the raiding force had passed through there as well; which turned out to be fortunate for her, since in the confusion, she was able to eventually steal a precious diamond and make her way back to her ruined village with it. But once she reached her home, where the adventurers had been resting, she found them all dead. Cut down, by... she couldn't really say what.

And so, her best hope for a reviving a bit of her home was gone and she was left alone. But hope was not so easily extinguished. She had heard of the magics and she knew, She KNEW that there were others, even more powerful. Gripping the symbol of her small goddess she swore, among the bodies of the slain adventurers, that she would obtain the magics needed.

Until then, she left the title of Gaaia in Rhea's grave, and to anyone who asked from that day forward, she was just Stitches. But one day... one day... she would be Gaaia again.
