A friend and I were discussing this and now I am curious. If you do any sort of visual arts (illustration, photography, dice making, sculpting, whatever), feel free to vote. Reblog with the type of art you do, if you do or don't, you know something in the tags to goad you into spreading this further lol

Show answers is there for anyone who does art with no visual component or has no opinion.

Only A3 left! Which I’m waiting for the dub for. What? There’s no show called Interspecies Reviewers this season. What are you talking about?

MK messaged me. Why? Trying to say you missed me, waited for me to text, and that you are attracted to me. Ido not want you. You call me hot and you think it is some kind of great compliment. Saying you’ll make up not talking to me for like two weeks butting dry about it. Why should I lead conversation? You started this.

I'm doing a thing. If you're a lover of original characters, I encourage you to participate! and share!

Although I believe reblogs are not impacted by the data-sharing thing, to ease any worries I've toggled the option to prevent third party data selling for the new blog. That said I am also hosting a similar event on my Mastodon (though without using a unique account) if that makes you more comfortable. I may expand it to bsky as well, but this first month is a test to see if that is worth doing and how much work running THREE would be compared to two lol

Anyway, I love OCs and I wanted to make good on that ^^

Hi there! This is @makiokuta !

I love original characters a lot, and my favourite thing to do online for years is to look at and learn about OCs and share my own. SO I'd like to try this. Each month there will be a new theme for people to share their OCs that fit the theme. You can be as loose with the theme as you want, btw.

For March, to kick things off, the theme is Freckles! Share your OCs with freckles, spots, and dots. Share some fun facts or story about them! Encourage your friends to share theirs! And most importantly, interact with other users and their OCs!

Sound like fun? Here's how to join: Share a tumblr post with an OC that fits the theme in either the comments here or through an ask. Then I'll reblog that OC here. Simple! I want to give OCs the love they deserve, and I want to bring traffic to your original posts, so please submit a link to your post and don't just submit the OC details directly through the ask.

Also! This is NOT just for art. A lot of shares like this exclude other forms of creativity, but if you've got written bios about your character, if you want to share a short story about them, or you've composed music for them, ANYTHING AT ALL, feel free to share.

Please keep submitted posts SFW. If your post contains work made by someone other than you, please credit the original creator. Fan characters are welcome; they take just as much creativity and love to make.

This goes all March, so don't feel like you're too late if you see this days later. Let's have fun and celebrate ours and each others' characters!!

Theres an Evil Boop too??????

Made an art only blog @maki-artblog

Well actually repurposed a dead side blog into an art only blog. All art will still be posted here first, it's largely to make reblogging my own art easier LOL but feel free to follow ^^

[makiokuta]

For the art ask game, 3, 12, & 20!

3. What ideas come from when you were little

Probably my never ending love for fantasy! None of my characters or stories from my childhood have specifically endured to this point, but also I'm old. lol

12. Easiest part of body to draw

The head, neck, and shoulders. Perfect for a 3/4 view bust in the white void kind of artist, but also--- Hands.

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

Hands....HANDS!!!!! H A N D S!!!

[makiokuta]

Does anyone else get crushed when one of those "Do you know this [piece of media]" posts crosses your path and you SUPER SUUUUUUPER know it - but the poll has ended with a landslide of "never heard of it."

Not that your single vote would have saved it, but not being able to say "me!! I know this!!" hurts me inside.

[makiokuta]

The state of the Do you know this Anime account's polls are dire. No one knows any anime.

[makiokuta]

I was having a really rough day but seeing your art on my dash made me a little happier. Thank you.

I'm glad my art could bring you some happiness *hugs* Your kind comment brightened my day too. I hope tomorrow treats you better.

[makiokuta]

Artists, tell me your art tags so I can follow them o; (mine is #mkart if anyone wants to follow that)

Feel free to reply, or add the comment on a reblog so your followers see too, or send an ask if you're shy and a mutual. idk

[makiokuta]

14, 25, 26!

14. Any favorite motifs

I really like using dramatic lighting to set a mood, stars, and flower language~

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

I'm not sure it applies to my recent art, but my older art has been compared to Bleach. I've also had people say I must be a fan of The Adventure Zone because of how I draw elf ears too lol (sorry, just a Shining Force 2 fan.)

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

Hmmm... I don't hear interpretations of my art enough to really have an answer for this O:

Someone did once comment that the cloak in this art was wings, I think that's the closest I have off hand

(Not wings, just a very very gay cloak)

[makiokuta]

Artist ask game!

10. Favorite clothes to draw

10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw

Frills frills frills anything with frills. Truly I love to draw frills.
