So glad to finally have a face to the name of Ozi's Keyholder!

I adore the design and the idea of them, and even more that he shares common interests with Ozi (Cards/magic, Shakespeare)

Might I ask if I can draw them together? I'll obviously give you permission to draw Ozi when you wish in return! Just got a few ideas 👀👀

hopping on the trend of keysonas except it's a keyHOLDER!

introducing cameron (he/they), also known as cam, aspiring magician, shakespeare nerd, and holder of ozi, the fool!

thank you @theus-what-are-you-doing for creating ozi and allowing me to have cam be their holder!!!

Bugsnaxs Secret Santa!

This is my entry for the Bugsnax Secret Santa 2024 for @fungusry, and although it's been a while since I've actually drawn any Grumpus characters or anything from Bugsnaxs in general, I have to admit that it was fun to find my style with these girls again!

With that said, below will be the entry! Try not to open it until Christmas, or do, I genuinely can't stop you- But know that I've attached a little message to go along with it!

So Fungusry!

I just want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah. I genuinely hope that all your festivities go well and that 2025 is a promising year for you!

I adored drawing Margarine with Beffica in this cute little scene, and I hope this gift captured Margarine's amazing design.

I can't wait to join next year, and thank you for the opportunity of joining this secret santa!

Best wishes, Theus <3

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

OOOOOOO, That'll be so interesting to see! Okay, Okay, I hereby give you permission to give Cameron the title of Ozi's Key Holder! Be sure to tag me if you post it!! <3

Saw some people making keysonas, so to help me brainstorm a keysona I made a list of key titles! Basically just common tropes that are often present in books and stories. Felt like sharing them here! I’ll add more in comments if I come up with anymore. feel free to use these for ur sonas, Or if you have ideas too feel free to share them in the comments!

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

Does anyone have the link to the CB Discord Server? I swear I joined, but apparently I didn't 🙃

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

Was going to comment, but they're off. But!! I'm happy to make you some fanart for them when you design them, I'm obsessed with Keysonas right now 😭

guys ive had a keysona in mind for a while his name is Onyx and he’s the minion key 😭😭🙏🏼

GUYS PLEASE I CANT DRAW THAT WELL BUT IM WORKING ON A DESIGN I SWEARR 😭😭😭

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

Please do! I think him and Ozi would be good friends, maybe even close siblings (If you are to believe the lore of Cinderella Boy that is)

Nevertheless, I'd love to draw him if he ever comes out!

Ask Ozi?

I saw @p1tabread reblog my Ozi post with a question so I thought it would be fun to do this little Q&A thing and develop my keysona a little more! Below "read more" will be more in depth answers if anyone is curious!

Now for the questions expanded!

Ozi is my favourite key ever

Ozi would only respond with confusion to this statement, or be flustered, because they was at their height of usage within Ex Libris' organisation during the Elizabethan time (I know that isn't canon but let me head canon, will you? It fits their story a lot better) e.g. when Shakespeare's works were hitting theatres and the need for comic relief characters were at an all time high with the focus on tragedies.

Recently however, it could be argued that their position has been fulfilled by the role of the "Helper" key Bronze, as many modern stories have a tendency to combine the helper and the comic relief roles into one character, think of the sidekick that is used to be funny in tense scenes within hero movies or books.

As so, they doesn't get as much use as they did back then, hence their confusion to why they are a favourite in this modern age.

They do greatly appreciate it though, even if they're a little confused!

2. What's his favourite Shakespeare character or play?

Honestly, back in the day they used to be a big fan of them all as they thrive on tragedy. That being said, they doesn't like "Romeo and Juliet", for reasons that "They can't understand why the hero wouldn't just have a good cry and wait for Juliet to wake up. They didn't need to die."

That's their reason at least, we theorise this was mostly because this was one of their first books they had entered and they and their human had genuinely though that Silver and Goldie had actually suffered the tragedy that befalls their characters. Dark, huh? Safe to say, a lot of crystal tears had fallen when they were reunited!

As for "Something Rotten", it's one of my favourite Shakespeare inspired works, and I have a feeling that If I did have a key, that is one of the first things I would show them! I however, love the Soothsayer more than I love Shakespeare! Nick Bottom is a close second however!

I hope that answers your question, fellow nerd (Fear not, I will not sue you!!

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, THEY ABSOLUTELY WOULD BE BESTIES 😭😭

I adore the idea of Ozi being so easy to convince to do silly things. It just feels like they would to please others or to make them laugh.

Thank you for going out of your way to draw my baby, he looks so good in your style! <33

Drew @theus-what-are-you-doing ‘s keysona eating paint with mine! (With permission of course) I feel like the two would be good friends lol

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

Y'all!! I need to borrow you keysonas.

I want to draw them being silly goofy together but I need your permission!!

Taking ideas for what they should do if you give me the heads up :D

If anyone spoils Buddy's name I will eat them

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

Saw a slight trend emerging where people were starting to make keysonas for Cinderella Boy, and so I thought I'd jump in with my own because I will never give up a sona opportunity!

So now introducing my dear foolish key and yet the insulter and trustee of Royals, The comic relief key, also known as Ozi!

A bit about Them~

Their main muse is the role of comic characters present within tradgedies or dramtic story tellings, popularised via Shakespeares works. They are meant to be used after tragic events to lighten moods for potential readers and be something more lightheart to focus on.

They're based on the metal of "Osmium" and the gemstone of "Topaz". And their visual look comes from Medievial fantasy jesters.

Generally speaking, Ozi takes form of more Masculine presenting characters, but can take the form of any female written comic characters, hence the want and need to be referred to by gender neutral terms.

Might work a little more on them if I get particularly attached! But feel free to send me your own keysonas, I'd love to do collaborations or character works with them and Ozi in!

Thanks to @inc0mple for the idea! This was really fun to work on!

Sunday WIP

I've been spending a little more time playing Honkai Star Rail and just wanted to draw some of the characters for fun! Since I've just pulled Sunday, I thought he would be perfect!

This will probably remain just a WIP as I've gone off it, but I'm still kinda proud of it so I thought I'd share either way.

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

I hate when doing projects for other people suddenly gives my hand a different personality.

Like what is this artstyle, how do I replicate it, can I replicate it??? Why does it look so much better than my normal??? Is it just because Im drawing a pretty lady??? I'm so confused?? 😭

This is the artstyle I mean?? (For the Bread MAP that's going around, if you're curious)
