wanted to see how bad my same face syndrome was #azOCs #ocsky

Sketches from my sketchbook coloured digitally, busts of 8 of my characters for my WIP Raining Champion. More detailed alt text in the next two images. End ID

Sketches from my sketchbook coloured digitally, busts of 4 of my characters for my WIP Raining Champion. From left to right:

Azure Halili is a smiling pale woman with an oval face and an asymmetrical black bob. The underside of her hair is coloured blue alongside some diamond shaped highlights. She has sharp, dark grey eyes, a round nose, a mole at the bottom (our) left of her mouth and wears blue lipstick.

Ameline Halili is Azure's twin, so they have identical faces, but she has a more serious expression. Ameline also has longer hair, worn in a messy bun. She has a long strand of loose hair decorated with a pearl. Unlike her sister, she wears glasses and has several ear piercings. She also has dark eyeshadow and a nude lipstick.

Uran Dimalanta is a tan man with a diamond shaped face. His left (our right) eye is accented by golden metal plating and small red lights. He has sharp, dark brown eyes and wears his black, shoulder-length hair in a half up-half down style. He also has ear piercings that I forgot to properly draw/colour in.

Maria Induran Dimalanta resembles Uran. Her eyebrows are a little thinner, and her skin is a bit darker compared to him. Induran wears her long salt and pepper hair in a loose, low ponytail. From the neck down, her mechanical golden body is decorated with sun and filigree motifs, as well as decorating the sides of her jaw.

End ID

Sketches from my sketchbook coloured digitally, busts of 4 of my characters for my WIP Raining Champion. From left to right:

Benilda Laksamana is a lightly tanned woman with a rectangular face and small, droopy brown eyes. She has chin length, curly hair that's dyed brown, the black roots are visible alongside a streak of white hair. She wears rectangular dangly earrings and has some light, natural makeup.

Alejandro de los Reyes is a brown nonbinary person with a round face and long, dark reddish-brown hair, which they wear in a long, barely contained braid. Their dark red eyes are big and round. They also have several moles around their eyes and cheek.

Donnie Dimalanta is a brown man with short black hair with a shock of grey and a square face. He has a bit of facial hair and sort of short mullet. He also has one small braid that rests on his left shoulder. He has gauges in his ear lobes and some metal plating on his face, under the eyes. He's the only other person in this lineup who's smiling.

Loukya Dimalanta (Dewan-Hernandez) is an albino woman with an oval shaped face. Her long lashes give her a perpetually half-dreaming sort of expression. She has bird wings to the sides of her head, her white hair from the nape of her neck turns into a train of feathers, reminiscent of a peacock.

while i do know their backstories, i haven't really detailed anything for myself, so it's interesting having to think of something to illustrate on the spot #azOCs #ocsky

Picture from my sketchbook illustrating an answer to the prompt "Do they remember their childhood? Recall a memory." From left to right:

A much younger Uran sits on the shoulders of a man among a crowd of people watching large screens. On screen, there's a tall woman with very long hair. At the top reads, "I remember watching my mom leave for the tournament. People loved her. They still do."

A very young Benilda is angrily wiping away tears. She looks a little beat up. The text at the top reads, "There's nothing from my childhood worth remembering."

A young Alejandro sits in a hospital bed, looking out the window. The accompanying text reads, "My earliest memories are in a hospital... The details are foggy, though."

first one lalala sorry the handwriting is kinda doodie, i don't have as good control with writing on a small scale this also applies to later answers when i get around to them, but i'll elaborate on stuff if anyone asks! #azOCs #ocsky

Picture from my sketchbook with doodles of my characters answering the question "How did they get their name?". From left to right:

Uran: When my birth mother gave me away, it was raining.

Benilda: Uran went through a list of names with me until we found one i liked...

Alejandro: My parents named me! That's all they left me with...

i need to be less scared of posting. here's a comic #azOCs #ocsky #genshinoc

A simple lined comic featuring my Genshin OCs Malachi and Eike.

1st panel: Eike holds a bottle of Fire-Water (Genshin's vodka) saying "A client recently gifted us a bottle of Fire-Water for our outstanding service. Malachi, why don't you have some?" To which he responds "Okay..."

2nd panel: Eike smiles mischievously as Malachi takes a shot, imagining him doing a spit take and mocking him for it.

3rd panel: Malachi's reaction is not what she expected and she's surprised. He sticks out his tongue with a displeased expression ans says "Gross. I still don't get why people drink this stuff."

4th panel: Eike looks down at a shot glass and thinks to herself "That's odd. I thought Fire-Water was on the stronger side... Was I wrong?"

5th panel: She takes a sip.

6th panel: She does a spit take.

7th panel: Malachi's concerned, saying "Eike?! Are you—" but she interrupts him with "I'm fine." She's clearly trying to regain her composure and still coughing.
