making ocs is so funny, especially when you get so attached to some and not to others?? it’s like yes these people live in my head and I love them. I love that one the most though.
"Care to join me for a drink?"
Another redraw of my old art. This one got quite a few upgrades/added details as opposed to my usual redraws.
The concept behind the character design was the whole "Snow White's description makes her sound like a vampire" thing (though instead of making Snow White a vampire, I made a vampire based on Snow White). Skin as white as snow, lips as red as roses, ebony black hair- you get the idea.
Old art (made in 2021) below the cut, as well as a version of the drawing without the background/scenery elements!
Hey y'all!
I've been planning on jumping ship from Adobe Photoshop (needed it for school unfortunately) to Clip Studio Paint for a while now. Now that I'm done with school, I figured now was as good a time as any.
I was hoping some fellow artists could give me some tips on using CSP? Especially people who used to use Adobe themself.
I'm particularly looking for some help with brushes. I'm hoping to find something similar to what I used with adobe (the basic hard round pressure size brush and hard round pressure opacity brush). And then of course anything to do with navigating CSP would be helpful.
I know a big part of me learning CSP will have to be me figuring out what I like myself, but any help (personal tips or useful online tutorials) would be much appreciated <3
You keep rebloging all your drawings, what is going on?
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
haha, mutual, you are browsing my blog
Gave my oc Thorne Crow (she/her) a new reference <3 <3 the one with her vest has design notes and the one without has scar notes.
A quick introduction to her character: Thorne's role is that of a Hunter, a military-esque position made up of people raised to combat the monsters (and humans) that threaten the safety of civilians. She is stubborn and hotheaded, the type to rush in and get things done rather than sit and wait, but also the type to take a hit for someone else. She's tough, used to living simply, and is a lot more social than her demeanor might imply.
Fun Facts abt her: She does have magic (shadow magic), but because she wasn't ever properly trained to use it she can only do like. One thing. And she does that one thing very well but its only the one thing. She is very competitive and loves a good challenge. And she's very close to her brother, Ebony.
There is a protection sigil/rune on her vest. I've introduced this one before with prior ocs (Salem and Ebony), it basically reinforces the piece of clothing against physical and (certain) magical attacks!
artists, this is ur reminder to start drawing references or redesign your original characters before artfight in july this year
Appreciation post for all the beginner artists who work hard despite the AI looming over us. You are fabulous. You are precious. Keep up the hard work, you are needed.
The fun thing about people with ocs is that you can just ask them about their ocs opinions. Like oh what would your oc say about this. What would they think. How would they tell me good night. It's great
nothing more beautiful than finally understanding how to draw your own OC's hair
if you have ocs it is so so so important that you have Barbie Time™ (drawing them over and over wearing all sorts of different outfits)

people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry
Been editing and touching up some of my old OC references for my senior portfolio as opposed to re-drawing them. Mostly this includes fixing line art, adding proper clothing folds instead of the random ones I did bc I had NO IDEA what I was doing, fixing some anatomy stuff, and redoing some details here and there. And I figured I'd post the updated references cause why not 🤷♀️
As a quick introduction, this is my oc- the lovely Lady Salem Blair (she/her). Shadow witch, socialite and politician, smooth talker, magical prodigy, and lover of elegant things. She was quite a well known figure in political and well to do circles when she was alive, though that's not to say she was well liked by everyone.
Prolly the other two most important facts about her was that she did in fact do a lot of spying and sabotaging in her time, usually herself but sometimes with a little help. And that she was the mother of some of my other ocs, the Crow Triplets.
Quick run down of her runes (sigils)
Lock- Prevents anyone but the caster from opening or moving whatever the rune has been applied to.
Mute Sound- When activated, mutes sounds made by (or, within a certain radius, around) the wearer for a certain time frame. (thanks to @nicstylus for the suggestion with this one!)
Protection- Reinforces clothing against both (certain) magics and physical attacks.
Glamour- When activated, gives the wearer a shimmering flair. Not practical but very fun!
Disruption- Disrupts (low level) magical eavesdropping, locating, and otherwise spying attempts.
Shapeshifting- When applied to an object, allows a user to channel their magic into shapeshifting magic. Works best with masks or objects worn on the face.
Salem's headshot for her Artfight icon! She's also getting posted on her own cause again, I love how she turned out <3
Part 2 of Old-ish oc references that I touched up rather than redrawing!
This is Ebony Crow (he/him). He is quite the serious academic, a shadow witch, the reserved and quiet type, and much like his mother is a magical prodigy. Unlike his mother however, he has no interest in playing the role of socialite and networking with upper class witches. He'd much rather be away studying and researching than be at any social event.
Other important things to know: He is currently being manipulated by a dark force, one connected to his mother and the history of Death Omens. And he is very close with his sister, Thorne.
Quick run down of his runes (sigils):
Lock- Prevents anyone but the caster from opening or moving whatever the rune has been applied to.
Protection- Reinforces clothing against both (certain) magics and physical attacks.
Disruption- Disrupts (low level) magical eavesdropping, locating, and otherwise spying attempts.
Shock(?)- Still a bit unsure about this one, but if I keep it at "shock" then when activated it would emit a shock of electricity created by channeling the user's magic into storm magic.
Prepping new character icons for artfight!! This is my oc Ebony, who's ref I've posted previously.
I plan to make a mass post with the all the icons I end up drawing later, but wanted to post him separately cause I like how his turned out <3
Final part of the Old-ish oc references that I touched up rather than redrawing!
Rhessyne (she/they) is a half-fae witch who lives on a small farm just outside a rural town. She practices plant and healing magics, and sells potions and minor remedies on the side along with extra produce from her farm. However she would never think to take money or goods from someone suffering from a serious condition, and as such heals for free.
Residing on her farm with her is her partner, Avon (an ex-werewolf hunter turned werewolf trying to recover from his past), some chickens and goats, and on occasion various members of the Fae side of her family.
Fun Fact: Wood fae dress to match the season they were born in, hence why Rhessyne wears spring colors and florals!
A quick drawing of Rhessyne with a flower crown :D (Oli made it for her)
(Happening but not depicted: Avon in the distance blushing like crazy cause his gf is the prettiest person ever)
mutuals. c'mere. this is a checkpoint. i am checking in. i am wrapping you in a blanket and giving you a nice warm drink. also some pretty flowers. it will be ok.

AI art 👎
commissioning artists 👍
Guess who's computer got fixed!!!!!
When you had drawing plans but your computer stopped working
Also posting this drawing of Thorne separately because I like it a lot <3
Rough sketches of my ocs Ebony and Thorne being protective of each other. Cause protective siblings.
The original plan was to clean up and color these before considering posting them but. I decided I liked them as they are. so.
