#ocart Been arting, so brought back an OC I wrote into a corner by accident years ago and made him Singaporean-Chinese lmaooo Delun is the youngest son of one of my oldest RP characters so I made him not-a-dragon and in modern SG lol

Refsheet of a human-looking man, Delun. He has a trach tube and runelike tattoos down his side and limbs. There are sketches of him flexing to show the tattoos better, as well as a deconstructed look at his tracheostomy tube.

Some notes are as below:
- keeps his hands gloved to avoid questions
about his scarring
- tattoos are symbolic and are similar to his dad's
- dyes his hair green to match his tattoos
- had multiple open heart surgeries as a child
so has to go for consistent followups
- constantly being sedated/intubated as a child
left him with a weak airway, hence the trach tube
- more surgery was done to expand the hole for
the tube as he grew older
- could get even more surgery for his airway but
he might die on the table due to his heart
- mostly physically fine these days (?)

Some outfits from Delun - a traditional Peranakan baba outfit with a batik-print shirt and a baju kurong, his work outfit as a civil engineer with a hard hat, collared shirt and long pants with the most outlandish yellow set of boots, and his sleeping outfit, a gaudy blue sweater and just his boxers.

Been kinda addicted to the OC generator factory i.e. this game and so I had to make my default party here, these are all now my OCs ig bretticus82.itch.io/dungeons-dyn...

Hruk Ironhide, a half-orc paladin with green skin and a short cropped haircut wielding a warhammer.

Osric Grimsley, a dark-skinned human cleric in plate armor and practical cornrows.

#ocart Normal woman behaviors

Myron, a half elf, is asked and repeats: "Would I rather be feared or loved?". She shrugs, waving her hand to say "Both".

She starts casting powerful magic, eyes aglow as she declares she wants people afraid of how much they love her.

Working in games and hearing about beloved friends and ex-colleagues getting fucking gutted 2 days before a big pilot of a local mixer just feels like

#ocart Last pre-Artfight meme, OC Optics (credit to @neo-kajatrash.bsky.social for the template) but with Myron the silly goober because she can

OC Optics character fill.

How Myron wants to be seen is a huge soft topaz dragon plushie, a callback to her true shapeshifted form.

How she sees herself is nonexistent. She has never had a sense of self due to her training as an illusionist while still being a child.

Her friends see her as her actual half-elf form. This is important considering she doesn't show herself proper.

Her enemies see her as an ambiguous-identity archmage.

Strangers don't even know how she looks like.

Her actual self is just a little ktiten who loves to scream and cause mischief.

Also while I'm at it #ocart redrew an older comic with some updated designs

Comic. Myron, a half elf, is getting petted as she says "Have you considered What If I Bit You". She's cuddling her seal plush and looks visibly relaxed with eyes closed.

She opens a green eye and flirtily goes "this applies to every situation. Please consider that I can Bited You at any time." Her husband Jinhee, whose face is covered, continues petting her.

Myron is now arguing with Jinhee, as she is bereft of snuggles (a cardinal sin in her perception). "Sometimes people treat me in a way where I can tell they have not considered I Could Have Bited You Already," she complains.

Jinhee, now with his face visible, sighs while reading on his tablet while Myron is biting on his free arm lovingly. He still looks smitten as he states, "Most cat speech is not nearly this legible."

Baby's guide to drawing snouts, since people seemed confused When you do it enough and can find out how to mix and match shapes, it helps block out animal faces very fast

Draw a circle. Draw a smaller circle next to it, then connect both with lines.

Erase the connecting lines to make an angular gourd-like shape. Add the rest of the design. Congrats on your side facing snouted character!

Various animals, like a bear, dog, dragon, tiger, mouse and seal, all drawn with the same principle of two shapes interconnected, just at different angles and sizes :)

Myron, a tan half-elf mage, sits on her cane as she uses magic. She has faint tattoos on her arms.

Dankyung, a human woman with dark blue hair, stands confidently with a sword over her shoulder. She's slightly muscular, and has a translucent pendant in front of her.

Jangil, a human man with green highlights in his hair, poising to throw his spear Wildbolt Storm. He's clearly more muscular than his wives, and has self harm scars visible in his inner arms.

Jinhee, an older human man, sits imperiously upon an oxidising relic that he conjured. He's wearing a pressure suit under his shirt, with a brace visible on his left hand.

#ocart Did a "pick your fighter" meme for Artfight because I make a stooges pic every single year

A "pick your fighter" meme styled after the Super Smash Bros. player screen, with 4 characters, Myron, Dankyung, Jangil and Jinhee on it.

Playing TTRPGs and bringing back four of my most beloved and ancient OCs just because I can - meet the G4 and the corresponding divine artifact they work with! #ocart

A quadrant of four Korean men facing right, with symbols denoting the 4 Divine Beasts of East Asian culture for each of them. Wonhyo (blue) is Xuanwu, the dragon-turtle, Hyojong (red) is Zhuque, the phoenix, Kyeonghwan (green) is Qinglong, the green dragon, and Beomgyun (grey) is Baihu, the white tiger. Notably, Kyeonghwan is colored in green.

artfight.net/~TadpoleTalks Yes to Artfight, also I'm extremely revenge oriented so if you salt my fields (gift art) I'll salt yours back (gift art)

Team Mystery Artfight card with the username TadpoleTalks. As a noir fan this is a no-brainer. I friendly fire, revenge and attack you directly through your screen. Under featured characters the stooges frown and look confused in various ways with ink colors defining their main trait - and more! I have humans, anthros, monsters, w(o)yrms and mechs!

"In a better timeline, at a far better place; Would time have been kinder? Or worse to me?" Happy 9th anniversary to my favourite show Secret Forest and by extension Lee Changjoon who reigns eternal as my horrible horrible blorbo now #비밀의숲

Thinking of OCs past and present and so I drew my most popular OCs over the years on social media #ocart

Digital artwork of Myron (yellow), Eunkyung (blue), Druid (teal), Verric (marmalade) and Sungrok (orange). Most are OCs I'm known for or are actively showcasing nowadays.

Lyndon "Tadpole" (they)@poliwag· Jun 3

#ocart Finally did a refsheet for Eunkyung before Artfight in July lol You're free to add me as TadpoleTalks :3 unvale.io/character/53...

Full refsheet of Eunkyung, a tall woman with two-toned black to dark blue hair. She has severe, disfiguring burn scarring all over her body and the refsheet details her medical implements (feeding tube and tracheostomy tube), prosthetic leg and the divine tattoo of her shield on her back.

Congrats! Here's Pynroth "Ace" Fairboughs, a sheltered Tiefling bruiser who decided he wanted more adventure in his life and to do his adoptive parents proud!

I am anything if not deeply predictable, I just love my pseudo-Chinese characters - I only collect the Xianzhou Generals and Stellaron Hunters, and it shows :3

Honkai Star Rail's annual roundup informing that Feixiao, the Merlin's Claw of the Xianzhou Yaoqing, is my most used character

#ocart WIP of "what if the god of fear and the revenant of vengeance were a couple" because it's funny to have nervous awkward Eunsoo get romanced by the reporter she was being nice to

Lineart of two people hugging - Moojin, a man in a goatee, is cuddling his girlfriend Eunsoo from behind. Eunsoo is nervous looking but visibly alternative, with a drink in hand as she blushes.

#ocart Bigs and cutes Myron for her spouses by growing her to 4x larger than her tallest spouse

Digital art of Myron in her topaz dragon form and her comparably tinier spouses. She sticks her tongue out and quotes the post from Tumblr user sergal saying "Big and cutes my me at you".

Thinking, once again, about grief

Chinese poem.
“纸短情长，余言后续”
可是千言万语，
也唤不回你身影

"The paper is short, but the sentiment is long;
The rest of the words can be discussed later." (a common sign-off in Chinese letters)
But for all the words I could say,
I could never bring back a shadow of you

Lyndon "Tadpole" (they)@poliwag· Apr 2

#ocart More spouse shitposting because I can and it's funny

Comic. Dankyung and Myron, both women, are cuddling gayly. Dankyung says "Turn based sex. Take as long as you need to think up a strategy."

She leans into Myron's ear to whisper about their shared husband Jangil. She tells Myron Jangil's man pussy is weak to fire magic.

Myron goes "I know now!", conjuring a comically large pepper spray as an illusion. She states eagerly she'd pepper spray his pussy.

Off screen, Jinhee, their other husband shouts "DO NOT" at them as they continue cuddling. This time however the pepper spray illusion floats beside them.

Strongly do not recommend attempting to freehand a motorcycle by solely eyeballing it #ocart #ocsky

Left my ace bee in the office while I'm out today and he has thoughts

A crocheted bee with his stripes colored as the asexual flag stares forlornly at his laptop. He turns to the viewer - being as round and fat as he is, he was never crocheted to have limbs. He states plainly, "I don't even have hands to respond to these beemails"

This is a story of you and me. A poem for a friend long gone, after finally spending my first February in years not immediately breaking down on one of the days

This poem is designed, too, to be read aloud.

"This is a story of you and me.

Of love, of joy, but it ends in grief.

You've been gone six years now. I think about you less.
I move and grow in ways you can never, but for some reason,
The ways I do, resembles you.

You were someone who chose,
Even through pain, even to the end,
To be kind.

And I could not fathom that.
Not then, perhaps
I can never fathom it.

But I try. Oh, how much do I try.

Because what is grief, if not love shaped in a different form?"
