#toni the oni

My birthday’s tomorrow (Aug 19) and a few days ago I had the idea of making a wishlist of things people can draw form me (plus a reminder to buy my stuff and donate to my Patreon and Ko-fi) on my Twitter account. Of course that list included several of my personas and OCs so I pulled together some old drawings I had and made some ref sheets with some added notes. I’m very pleased with how they turned out and they were a lot of fun to make which is the main reason I wanted to post them here. 

I also wanted to post the ref sheets on Instagram but ended up going completely overboard. I had started by adding patterns behind the ref sheets to fit them into squares and ended up recreating the whole list in picture form. I worked an entire day on it then I woke up the next day and was like, “…I didn’t need to do this!! I just wanted to share the ref sheets!” So because I worked so hard on them and because Instagram doesn’t like tumblr that’s why those last four images are here.

You can read a recreation of the thread on my personal website with extra commentary here: https://www.cattype.net/single-post/ref-sheets (Another birthday wish of mine is that you’ll leave a comment or like.)

You can make something for me if you want to of course. And don’t worry about sending it on the day of my birthday. You don’t need to put the extra pressure on yourself if you don’t need to and I’ve always loved belated gifts anyway. Actually, I’d be happy if you just submitted whatever yokai art you have to @jigokuyeah and @1000amabie for me to reblog.
