#original character design
New ocs in the works! I recently got inspired to write a little story set in the Feywild so I’m having fun designing some of the characters in it!
The last designs are the forms that the oldest habitants of her demiplane and failed warlocks of hers take ✨

Custom I did for Ghostly Birb on Toyhouse!
My commission and custom are still open! Link in profile :)

And the main character of my made-up - never brought to life story - Pixie!
I even do not know why she was the main, maybe because she was the most traumatized lol Many parts of her backstory/design do not make sense because she is supposed to be teenager who is a sniper (once again - edgy ☠️), but I “love” how I drew her mohawk in 2012 <’D

I have so much fun drawing those (ಥ◡ಥ) It makes me think about my characters again and how their design is inaccurate to their backstory (^^ゞ In this case - Hannah should be in early 19th clothing, instead she is in a secretary-ish outfit (ノ▽〃) but I still really like it and I like the color palette ~~

I remember how proud I was of the drawing on the right and how disappointed I was when I does not receive many likes. But oh, boy… I can see why now <“D The face proportions are SO OFF (ಥ◡ಥ) But I still love the design (and eyes), because I drew the whole armor and the color scheme of silver and purple is just so nice! (ノ▽〃) Her name was Satsumishi and she was a demon empress (edgy, I know )

I’m healing my inner child by redrawing my old OCs! (￣^￣)
All the time I refrained from doing it because this new redrawn art should be “better, refined, well-thought-out” etc. By such thinking, in the end, I did not start it all, because I was afraid that I would not be able to do it. But finally, I said “F*ck it” and started drawing mindlessly. Do I like what I see? Absolutely! Do I think I redrew it perfectly as I wanted? No. And that’s OK! I can always make another attempt (Yes- I am doing self-therapy here <“D)
Btw. Her name was Destroid and she was half human half snake (^^ ゞ

I’m so mad that I do not remember her name! OAQ I’m sure it was something starting on “S” (^^ゞ In the previous year I thrashed all my old physical sketches but I’m sure I have noted her name there somewhere but we will never know (･∀･;) But I have the opportunity to give her new, more suitable name! Do you have a suggestion on how to name this demon woman? <’D

Finally, the redraw of my male OC! ୧☉□☉୨ If you’re wondering why it took so long for a man to show up here, the answer is simple - I hardly drew them at all. (^^ゞ It was more difficult for me than drawing women, so I avoided it. Now that is why I almost do not have sketches of them to redraw. But after these 9 years, I can finally say to myself that I learned how to draw a man. (￣^￣) My younger self would be very pleased! ♡ Btw. This is Ivan, the scientist

This is the second time I redraw this girl - I wasn’t happy with the first attempt (^^ゞ It’s funny how at the beginning when I was creating my characters most of them were strong but soft looking and now I have a big urge to draw my every woman OC tall, full of muscles and unapproachable (･∀･;) But this need must wait when I decide to redesign them. (￣^￣) Btw. It’s Selly, my mermaid ♀️

The two main characters of one of my stories
Recently got a new story idea so I sketched some concepts of the main character! I’ll talk more about it once I’ve settled on a design
5 years of existence and she’s still nameless. At least she’s got new clothes though so I guess that’s dope!
The trio is here!
Here are the main three characters from my novel in progress, currently untitled and under the project name “Tropical Dream.”
From left to right: Cara Marie Juarez, Inés Ortega, and Leon Aolin. They all have POVs but technically only the girls are the protagonists, while Leon’s the deuteragonist.
I can’t wait to share more, to paint scenes and environments and settings from the book (it’s largely tropical!), and I can’t wait to come up with a proper title, haha, which I aim to have by the end of the draft I’m completing now (the second one!)
Whose story are you guys interested in seeing more of?
Here’s the third POV character in my novel-in-progress — Leon Aolin!
I’ll be doing an outfits post for him as well like I did with Cara Marie and Inés. And as I’ve said before, while Leon is a POV character, he’s not a protagonist like the girls! Though he’s extremely important to the story and is even the reason why I’m contemplating a sequel
Some fun facts about Leon that I can reveal without spoilers:
- He doesn’t like birds
- He’s a big fan of nature though, especially really tall trees he can climb
- He’s really good with directions and never gets lost
- He’s ambidextrous!
That does it for the three main characters of my novel, and I hope you all enjoy them! I can’t wait to share more of these characters, and their story, as time goes on. I’ll of course be doing more art of the world itself, some scenes, and especially the other characters in the story! Keep an eye out for them ✨
As I did with Cara Marie, here’s some more outfits Inés wears!
I added a sixth outfit (the white jumpsuit) because it’s what she wears at the beginning of the novel, and she can’t wait to get rid of it.
Like I’ve said before, Inés likes to wear baggy, loose clothes (for a reason!)
Which outfit is your favorite? I’m partial to her signature overalls and that tropical shirt ;)
If you don’t know, Inés is one of the main characters of my novel in progress, currently under the project name: Project Tropical Dream. I’ll have a guide set up where you can find all my art of the characters from Project TD, and I can’t wait for you to meet Leon and to draw some environments and scenes from the book!
Some more (non-spoiler) information about it:
- It’s a sci-fi fantasy
- There are griffins!! And sirens!! And faerie sprites!! And a couple other smaller creatures :)
- The continent it all takes place on draws influences from Hispanic and Latino culture, like language and foods and such
- If the characters were in our world, Inés and Cara Marie would both be Puerto Rican, and Leon (the third POV character) would be half Hawaiian, half Puerto Rican
Feel free to ask anything else you’d like to know about the story! If it’s non-spoilery, I’ll answer it ✨
More outfits for one of my two MCs, Cara Marie!
Look at her, I’m in love with her. She’s gorgeous, isn’t she?
All jokes aside, I’m really happy with how these all came out! Which is your favorite? I’ll definitely be making one of these for Inés, and maybe I’ll come back to these some day and render them ✨
And some more fun facts about Cara Marie:
- She prefers to wear black, or dark colors in general
- Her favorite color is green!
- She always wears loose clothing made of thin materials — she lives in a hot environment, so she won’t let her preference of black attire make her uncomfortable
Here’s the second main character from my novel in progress, Inés Ortega!
She’s another of the three POV characters, but again, only her and Cara Marie are protagonists ✨
Some fun facts I can give about Inés without spoilers below the cut:
- She loves animals
- Her clothing style is ultimate bagginess — but there’s a reason why ;)
- She wears her heart out on her sleeve, oftentimes thinking with her heart rather than her mind
- She has no memory of her past! Her life from birth to about 6-8 years old is a blank spot in her mind
That’s it for now! I’ll definitely do an outfits lineup for Inés like I have for Cara Marie (to be posted soon!), and I can’t wait for you guys to learn more about the two of them! Stay tuned for the third POV character, the deuteragonist, Leon :)
Everyone, meet Cara Marie Juarez
This may be news to some of you, but I’m currently working on my very first novel! I’m writing my second draft now, and I’m super excited with how it’s going so far.
Cara Marie is one of two protagonists in my book — in total, there’s three POV characters: Cara Marie, Inés (protag #2), and Leon (deuteragonist).
I’ve honestly been scared to tackle art of these characters so far because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to “perfectly” capture how they look in my head, but I hit a breakthrough with Cara Marie, and now I’m excited to finally draw the others! I am 100% going to draw some mock ups of more Cara Marie outfits, this post here was just testing how I’ll draw her!
Read below the cut for some fun facts about Cara Marie and a synopsis for the story!
Here are some fun facts about Cara Marie that I can share (without spoilers):
- She’s a black market hustler
- She likes taking things apart and putting them back together, figure out what makes them work
- She never goes anywhere without a suitable amount of weapons to defend herself
- She flies an airship she made from scratch ✨
That’s all I’ll say for now about her, but I can’t wait to share more about her and the story in the future!
“Cara Marie sighed, shifting her position to the other side of the trunk. Situating her feet in secure enough footholds and wrapping her left arm around the width of the tree, she leaned forward to inspect the transmitter. If she could disable it or disconnect it from any receiver it might have, then the kingdom could transmit all they wanted without receiving an ounce of feedback, visual or auditory.
And maybe, if she disabled it, it could be just the distraction her and Inés needed to get out of there. Small enough that the kingdom didn’t get too suspicious.”
Here’s 2/3 of the pieces I created for my digital art final, a scene from the beginning of Act 2 in my book! This is again painted in the styles of Arcane and Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse.
I was most proud of this piece honestly, I’m super happy with how it turned out. Also, the character looking up at Cara Marie is one I haven’t introduced yet ;)
“Inés’ heart plummeted into the depths of her stomach.
She saw color. So much color. Glimpses of a vibrant green jungle, of white cliffsides that bordered either side of the shimmering green-blue body of water they fell towards, which was much closer than stomach. thought.
She folded her arms over her face, the ship disappearing in the distance toward the open sea, where the rocky borders ended.”
Sigh.
So this is part one of the final project I worked on for my digital art class for a few weeks straight resulting in no time for any other art, headaches, and staring at a screen for hours at a time.
This is a scene from Act 1 of my Project TD, in which my characters Inés and Cara Marie escape… from a place :) This was meant to be painted in the style of ArcaneandSpider-Man: Into the Spiderverse with their mix of 2D and 3D animation, so the style is a bit different from what I usually do.
Because of time restraints I wasn’t able to render the foliage as best as I wanted to, so maybe sometime this summer I’ll rework it. But for now, here it is! What do you think?
A while back I introduced my Flamingo Girl character design that I would draw every now and then, and I mentioned possibly making a Peacock Girl to go along with her — and here she is!
Peafowl have some of my favorite colors and they’re one of the prettiest birds (imo) so I loved working on her. If you’d like to see my Flamingo Girl, you can find her in my OC tags!
Now, this wasn’t supposed to be a design series or anything as Flamingo Girl was just a random design I played around with, BUT I might, and I mean *might* tackle another bird girl rainbow macaw, anyone? After that one though that would be it haha

Some more messy concepts of my oc Layla…
She’s a monster hunter that specializes in hunting down the undead.
