introducing… my ocs based on the Yakuza 4 playable characters!

Since I hold Yakuza 4 really near and dear to my heart, I made a handful of OCs inspired by Tanimura, Akiyama, Saejima, and Kiryu! So here’s a proper introduction for them.

A disclaimer: these characters are NOT furry versions of the characters, but furry versions inspired by the main characters. Not every detail is the same and they include head-canons that are exclusive to these characters.

Tadeo Moore - Inspired by Masayoshi Tanimura

Species: Bat-earred Fox Occupation: Detective Quick facts: has a twin brother (referencing the original Tanimura design from original Y4), space fan, is a niche visual artist online

Aster Sterling - Inspired by Shun Akiyama

Species: Tanuki Occupation: Banker Quick facts: Currently in the closet (bisexual), has a crush on Tadeo, is a classically trained singer

Sumerset Tachibana - Inspired by Taiga Saejima

Species: Melanistic Siberian Tiger Occupation: Unemployed- does odd jobs Quick facts: Has 18 stripes, enjoys literature and talking about it, currently working out four times a week

And last but not least..

Ryoto Kazuhiro - Inspired by Kazuma Kiryu (and Tatsu from Way of the Househusband)

Species: Chaos Dragon (my own original species) Occupation: Bartender, later a househusband Quick facts: A man of many hobbies, uses a dumb phone and computer, friends and loved ones call him Kazu

All of them are currently under development, so once they're a bit more developed and have more art (including reference sheets?) expect another post like this with more info! You can also see more art for them posted on my toyhouse.

Also also, feel free to send me asks for these guys and I'll have them respond in character featured with some art if you so please ;3

all art is by myself

🐯: “hey. Never seen you up so early.”

🚬: “Just needed a breather.”

🐯: “Yeah, full of cigarette smoke and polluted city air.”

Little sketch comic of Sumerset (🐯) and Yano (🚬). These two work together running a small odd job business with each together. but even though they’ve been partners for the last couple years, they don’t get along. This is also the beginning of their part in the little short story I’m writing about my ocs, so enjoy the little preview.

In 2077, what makes someone a criminal? Getting caught.

Redraw of this drawing of Boxes from March 2022. Now I’ve actually completed Cyperpunk 2077 and had a whole lot of growth!

(Screenshot in the background was taken by u/Cryotherxpy, from Cyperpunk 2077.)

[🐯🌾] Meet Sumerset!

I’m trying my best to get back into drawing, so here’s a symmetrical icon of my new character, Sumerset! Or just Sumer or Set, he doesn’t care.

[✨] Annie is enjoying a chocolate milk treat

It’s finally time for me to start posting all the chibis I’ve done, so here’s Andromina (aka Annie)

2024 Reference for Arcade Boxes!

He hasn’t exactly change much since his first design, this time it was just some color adjustments and adding more details.

[🥀] I really want to stay at your house~

soft redraw of this old drawing of Reyna from 2019? Maybe? I’m not sure but I remember drawing it on my old laptop.

Oswin - aka, Arthur Pendragon, the man who left behind his legacy

Or at least my version of him for my main project. He’s a main protagonist of arc 3 and one of the Chosen that is apart of Midori’s prophecy. He’s also half elf and half angel because I said so.

On a date with a Goddess ~ May 2022

Here’s Asteria, the mother of Andromina, Altarsian, and Adrastos and late wife of Aeros. Although in the current time line she is deceased, I’m in love with her design and background lore and just cannot resist drawing her. This features her Heavenly Body compressed form (left) and her human form (right). I do want to post more about her and her family soon, as they’re honestly my pride and joy!

POV: you’re taller than Yoshie (she is 5’2”)

Used this as a reference and I highly suggest that people who have short ocs draw their characters like this (found on Pinterest)

[👾] Boxes but… Sonic the Hedgehog?

First post for 2024! I started this sketch in December but decided to finish it as a warm up for today.

[dearestcheshire]

Super rough sketches of Boxes as a Monster Hunter Palico. MonHun is a series that is near and dear to my heart, well mostly the Palicos. Some day in 2017 I saw these little cat guys and decided to pick up 4U and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Fujiyoru sideboob aka one of the first things I drew on my iPad when I first got it

Fujiyoru and his son, Kauri (who remains un drawn to this day) is a character I created during my first big Yakuza phase. Currently speaking, he is not a yakuza, but instead an important figure in the Dragonic council. He is essentially in charge of the justice system amongst the dragons in the eastern part of the world. For some reason, I really peaked with his design, and then never drew him again after this.

Bro literally had a transgender husband why did I pretty much forget about him.

Sage, the Wolf (2022)

An older drawing of my old Warrior cats oc, Sagewhisper! I used to draw warrior cats exclusively, so a couple years back I attempted to try and remaster EclipseClan, the fanclan she belongs to. Lowkey inspired by possumbreath’s clangen videos! But regardless, here’s Sagewhisper, who I still love.
