Challenge 8 (Part 3) The... END?

WE’RE KIDDING. THERE IS NO PART 3. WE JUST WANTED TO JOKE WITH YOU GUYS FOR THE LAST TIME LMAO. 

[Anya’s Message]

After a rollercoaster of an eighth season for the OC, I just would like to thank everyone for being with us and sharing your time as we all try to get by during this scarily uncertain time. We started the OC sometime during the start of my senior year, and I’m only now two months away from graduating! Having the OC has helped keep me sane at my last uni year here at home, and I’d like to thank all of you for wanting to be a part of this. I’ve always wanted to be host and you guys have brought such an amazing cast of characters with rich backstories into the mix. So thank you thank you thank you for making this OC come to life. 

To Myr, who brought in Alassie and kept her principles and advocacies rooted in valid and important issues faced by Indigenous People and have made some of the spiciest edits through her edits and the details in those song titles. 

To Ana, who created Suzy with her fearlessness to have fun but also have fun with Raffy and her constant energy in RPs. 

To Bri, who always makes wonderful characters like Ivy who just knows how to hit the right romantic moment beats in RPs. 

To Milo, who continues to write some of the funniest dialogue with Rhea and some of the best and funniest grade A fics. 

To Sanji, whose put in so much wonderful effort and detail with Diana and who I still suspect as Lady Illéa– I hope she becomes the embodiment of “mom I am a rich man. 

To Simone, with her attention to detail in creating such real-feeling characters that is so alive in Nellie who we hope would reach her dreams and would heal from her past with her parents. 

To Ester, we hope engineering exams are treating you well and who has brought in such detail and fun with Kaden into Sam’s life and making him so flustered. 

To Emi, who continues to pull off such rich and beautiful characters with fics to match in Andreia, and keeps Archie’s life just as colorful and grounded. 

To Anna, who never fails to bring characters out with such elaborate details that are fun to always look back on with Meredith. 

To Elise, who keeps RPs always spicy and fun and for collectively making all of us 🔪🔪🔪 against the character of Illinois Jones with Ramona and bringing in the live ape cam and being our trusty song blogger and tagger.  

Most especially, I’d want to thank Chris, beautiful and wonderful and ever patient Chris who listened to my own crack theories about everyone and for grounding me when things in the OC became overwhelming. I couldn’t have asked for a better co-host who brought to life half of the cast of characters we had, bringing in our steadfast Sam and our lovable Archie into the side romance team and making Sam and Archie her own characters which are better than any way I could have played them. It’s been an honor to be your co-host and you’re always one of my reasons for going at it. Here’s to retirement? HAHA

Lastly, Elise and Anna: who have made it literally phYSICALLY AND MATHEMATICALLY difficult to choose a winner between Ramona and Meredith, you’ve done both great jobs throughout this whole OC. Thank you for giving this so much of your effort and energy and making this such a difficult decision. 

Alright so this is it! This is Anya, OC-veteran signing off for OC 8. 

Love, Anya

[ Chris’ message ]

HELLO! for the last time from this account, I suppose, which is sad but refreshing at the same time... I have been feeling a bit emotional lately so I’m sorry if this gets... weird or like “what are you even talking about, Chris.” 

First of all you must remember how terrified I was to host an OC before I begged Anya to join the ride and I want to thank for all the encouraging and supportive words back then. It wasn’t so hard to convince me, but it was certainly hard to calm my nerves. You all did great at that! I’m glad you did because otherwise I really wouldn’t have done it and I would miss the opportunity to finally host with Anya. Many of you maybe don’t know but she and I had tried to host before a few times and... we are here now! at the end of this OC! All because she took well to accept me, and share with me all these characters she already had created. I’m still thinking Anya was incredibly kind to share Archie, Alessandra, Samuel and Bellamy for me to make them part mine to mess with hehe I certainly hope still I didn’t ruin the image she had of them. 

It was as challenging as incredible to host this OC along side with Anya. She always being ahead, anticipating things, using her magical and amazingly useful documents, sheets, CODE!! I was in awe! During this process we stressed, we work hard, we... get conflicted sometimes haha but not more than we enjoyed and scream with every epic moment you all help us create in rps and for that I’m beyond thankful. 

THANK YOU, really thank you for letting us meet these special ladies. Not only special as character but also as ideas that came out of your creative minds. I know how much energy, research and love it’s behind a character and having that in mind I am still excited about the fact I had the opportunity to interact with almost everyone of them!! I wish everyone could get someone but unfortunately, there’s a limit of voices I can keep inside my head before it explodes! But your characters were unique in their own ways and getting to know their goals, their motivations and their vulnerabilities was a BIG deal for me! Thank you everyone again for let them apply to this selection and making each rp this thing full of emotions!! jdfkjhgbfg Thank you also for bear with us! 

I still remember how HARD was to make decisions when it was my turn to make them and I really don’t miss those times but I still mean what I say on those posts. Thanks for going for the sides and show them so much love. I really enjoyed the fact they were able not only to find ~true love~ but also to develop nice and meaningful friendships.

I don’t address you individually because Anya already do that and I can’t do it better.

As I said we cried, we SCREAM (in a good and in a bad way sometimes), we get  🥺🥺🥺 but most of all I had and I’m still having FUN!!! My men got their good share of gorgeous, talented, and extremely wonderful girls courtesy of two excellent friends Emi and Ester who have been the most comprehensive and now have to deal with my ideas and my random babbling about future plans, etc... I really hope they have the nerve to shut me up when it’s needed hahaha. I know Archie and Samuel LOVE their girls SO SO SO MUCH no matter what they are saying or doing because you know men are dumb. 

In resume, recognition to everyone for the effort, for the creativeness, for being here despite how hard real life can get with school, work, thesis, family, holidays... In the end, the idea is to get some fun and nice distraction from all that, in this game. Hope you, after all enjoyed it as much as I did /do <333 

Recognition and standing ovation for Anya. I’m a witness of how hard he worked and how every decision she took was thoughtful and taken with the best intentions (including this last one. Believe me it took a while! We analyzed EVERYTHING! ) and even most of the times putting everything before her own health (tsk tsk) but I love this team we made!! <333

So see you at group chats and rps! 

Retirement? ... Look, I really need to get into searching my rl true love, okay?! 

Did you read all that?? kjdsngg then thanks again hahaha 

Bye OC8  with my sentimental heart...  - Chris

To Lady Illéa, Song Blog, SOC8 Memes, and Swendway, Chris and Anya would also like to thank all the extra pages in the OC who made some of the funniest content in making the OC World more real, funny, and spicy!

Without further ado, Chris and Anya present to you: The Final Fic.

Miss Bri which of your ocs is most likely to burst into tears when they see a smiley baby?

Presenting Illea Illustrated’s Influential Individual for The Final Issue: Crown Prince Benjamin Luke Schreave

@benjaminschreave

Illea Illustrated, The Farewell Issue 

Follow @illeaillustrated, A Former Media Correspondent of the Selection, for SelectionOC 4 Content 

Hey there Selectioners, ILL2 here. So we started with a prince on the cover (Nate) and I find it appropriate that we end with a prince on the cover (Ben)

Sooo yeah, this is our official announcement that Illea Illustrated will not be coming back for the SelectionOC Cycle 5. We’d just really love to thank you all for the support you’ve shown us while working on this magazine, your responses and feedback were very appreciated by us.

Like seriously guys, I went into this with like 0% knowledge on how to run and work a magazine, but wow- I’m so happy to have gotten to work on my skills through this platform. Honestly, I really will miss making ILL2 covers cause they’re like the best to make and I love the styling BUUUUUT, we’ve decided collectively to not continue on publishing issues for the OC. Nonetheless, we’d like to wish everyone luck especially to @benjaminschreave (Bri and Est) on their journey as the next prince and to anyone and everyone who’s going to be running a magazine in the next OC. We can’t wait to see where you guys can go from here.  So good luck guys, give everyone something to write about. 

Now it’s time for us to officially sign off, ILL see you when I see you ;) 

 - Anya, Co-Editor and Layout Artist <3

I’m not really going to say goodbye, because I’m sure I’ll still in touch with you, guys. Buuuut I do wanna say, I’m very thankful with all of you and specially with Anya for letting me be part of this magazine, which was her brilliant idea. I had a lot of fun doing the interviews and thinking about questions that suited your character’s personality, etc.  I hope you have a great 5th selection, full of OC drama with the super handsome prince Benjamin! ENJOY!!!  ~Grandma out~

Haven't been able to draw for ages, so I jumped back in with an illustration of like, a modern-ish version of my Pathfinder character Anya! (And her raven animal companion Marigold)

(and a cropped version because it unfortunately is a better composition this way i just did too much work on the top half to leave it like that)

There is also a time lapse! It can get to be pretty close to flashing lights at the coloring stage, so I'm putting it behind a read-more.

[briebo-art]

first time ive had energy for an illustration in months!

Anya, my transfem aasimar (on the couch), and Matt, bard and her partner, two of my pathfinder characters that are in a relationship <3 (also including marigold, anya's raven familiar)

timelapse and closeups under the cut! (warning for flashing lights for the timelapse)

closeups~

get a load of that fluffy raven

and the timelapse!

[briebo-art]

did a small fun illustration for my fluffy trans online Pathfinder short-story "Odd Inheritance", about a young boy that somehow manages to inherit the Aasimar traits that are restricted to the women in his family (Which you can read the entirety of, online, for free! Right here at Scribblehub)

anyways, this is Anya getting to try on a dress for the first time! She's enjoying herself :)

her aasimar trait is that the white bits of her hair change color with her emotions! gold hair bits mean shes happy, red hair bits mean shes a teensy bit embarrassed, and the brown parts are just her hair that hasnt been turned magic yet

[briebo-art]

here's an updated picture of my pathfinder OC, Anya from a while ago:

(she's got freckles now)

anyways her Aasimar trait is that her hair changes colours with her mood, so I thought i'd draw up something simple and cute to demonstrate~

i might do more of these as i try to ease back into drawing full scenes again, it was very fun to doodle quickly

[briebo-art]

Intro (+ Tag & Character directory)

Hi there! I'm Brie, a transfem artist and writer living in Aotearoa, and I like drawing anything related to my TTRPG characters, trans people, sci-fi, and fantasy stuff <3

Here are some examples!

my old online name was "BenjiBo", which i don't go by anymore, but, any art before the beginning of 2023 will have that as a signature as a heads up :)

The main tag I use for all my art is "#bri art", which should include only singular posts and none of the reblogs I use for bumping.

i use tags for posts with my ocs, but I'll keep all that info below the cut.

all my art now has tags for if a recurring character of mine pops up in case anyone wants to look through and find all the things ive done with em, so ive got a little directory here that ill use for keeping up with that

---

Maxine (She/Her) | tag "bri oc: maxine"

my original blorbo and first trans OC (if im not counting that one time i went feral over a headcanon with my elden ring character), she's gone through a bunch of name changes, which looked like Bridgette -> Brianne -> Maxine, so that's why my old art refers to her by a different name

currently planning a novella/short novel with her as the main character! chipping away at it in my free time :)

---

Anya (She/Her) | tag "bri oc: anya"

another transfem oc, and my first proper pathfinder character. I wrote a whole short story about her realizing she's trans that you can find somewhere on my profile or here (It was the first story I've ever managed to finish, and that shows I think, I can write a lot better now but it's still a cute little thing) her hair changes colors with her emotions because i think its a fun thing to draw

---

Belladonna, or Bel for short (She/They) | tag "bri oc: bel"

my tiefling ttrpg character, and, surprise! also trans. paired up with a friends OC, so there's a few quicker doodles i've done with them being gay. they're my high-femme OC who i put in all the outifts i'd like to wear, and one of my most favourite characters to draw. her tail emotes like a cats :)

---

that's all i have for now but i'll update this as i design and draw new characters, cheers

[briebo-art]

A new OC, Anya! This is a custom portrait that I'm inserting into the Pathfinder: Kingmaker video game, but she's technically an OC separate from Pathfinder as a whole. Plant lady aasimar :)

[briebo-art]

Well, I bit the bullet and started uploading this to Scribblehub, here's the full blurb and a link!

Adam Lane is the son of an aasimar and a sorcerer. Gifted with his father’s magical bloodline, he helps oversee the conservatory his family is tasked with protecting, searching for poachers and trying to make sure no harm comes to the wildlife, magical or mundane. His life is relatively normal, if perhaps a little aimless, until during a life-or-death encounter, he manages to manifest a halo. There is only one problem: Only the women in his family can be aasimar, so why is he beginning to show his mother’s celestial traits?

what've we got in this one? well,

• hair that changes color with your mood for all the fun that entails

• being gay with your bestie but then oops its not gay

• horrible rich kids

• so, so much denial

• lovely parents that i love

• isabelle the raven animal familiar, aka my favorite character in this story

The first two chapters are up there as of making this post, and it'll be updating every Friday, New Zealand time. There'll be ten chapters and an epilogue in total! This was just a little slightly-indulgent trans realisation story I wrote in my free time, but if that at all sounds interesting, please take a look >:)

Finished a short novella about my pathfinder character figuring out she's trans, here's the cover I drew up for it!

In Adam's family, the aasimar traits are limited to the women, so why does he have a halo? >:3c
