Hey #OCSky how do we feel about the new Community Guidelines? bsky.social/about/suppor... (Artist's note: these characters are from a completely-fictional universe but would be otherwise impacted by the specific changes outlined in the guidelines.) #BskyCensorship #art #comic
A comic featuring Alfonz [they/vi/mors in this stage of mor life] and Mikki [ji/xer], with Mikki telling Alfonz about the Bsky Community Guidelines. In Frame 1, Alfonz is eating a fluffy-white puto when Mikki calls for mor.
"Hey Boss!" ji says off-screen. Alfonz says an acknowledging "Hm?" before Mikki starts monologuing.
"Did you see the new Community Guidelines, set to be active a few weeks from now?"
Frame 2 has Mikki as xer fursona, Tulâ. Behind xer is point G in the Community Guidelines. The following dialogue goes from Frame 2 to Frame 3, with Mikki in xer Tulâ partial (and point D of the Community Guidelines in the background) in Frame 3.
"They're fine with animal porn, so long as it can't be mistaken as real, but didn't extend the same kind of grace to the topic of consent in fictional media, which, compared to 'animal porn', is far more open to interpretation!"
Frame 4 has Mikki handing Alfonz a piece of paper with a crudely-drawn blue butterfly on it, and finishes the monologue, point D.iv. from the Community Guidelines in the background.
"I think the mods thought they dodged a bullet when it came to us furries... but then they said that most risky kink is banned, with no specifications†." [† note: on if "realistic" extends to certain mediums, or if it's a blanket ban.] "They don't know that furries indulge in RACK [Risk-Aware Consensual Kink] and pred play, do they?"

Going to try and post at least once weekly about my conworld. This #Worldbuilding Friday, I'm going to talk about Ximu, the Great Phoenix. This week started Hausos, the month named after Them. In Ceres, the first week is called Year's Beginning, as Ximu's rebirth starts the year.+ #art #OCSky #deity
A flat lined illustration of Ximu, the Great Phoenix. They are a very large, monochromatic bird, and are flying skyward with their head facing right. The background is a sunrise/sunset image from Clip Studio Paint's default assets library.
Their "eyes" are closed, with black, beard-like feathers cascading down them like tears. They have a fairly long neck with two horizontal stripes near the top. Their wing feathers are in layers of white, black, and white again. From the back, there are two very long tail feathers which are bare aside from the tips, each tip featuring a simplified black eye mark on white feather.
Text on the image reads as follows:
Folgrina [written in Daemonic script]
Ximu: Deity of Cycles; Carrier of Rainbows
Inya [written in Daemonic and Latin script; Daemonic gender word]
[They/Them, with each pronoun capitalized]

Fashionably late for this one. You know when you go over a friend's house and your parent hangs out with your friend more than you do? That's this scenario. (They're all dressed up because someone decided to make it an impromptu dinner party-- dunno who, probably Sima's nanay.) #OCSky #OC #art #ych

LRP: looking at Florida's definition of a "social media platform" and amused by the fact that our bad law might make Bsky *more* tolerable for me if they "remove features" so they don't need to comply with it. You have to make *each point* outlined in order for the law to apply. (Starts on Page 4):

#ArtFight attack number 4 on @pavus.bsky.social of our hot-headed, crime-adjacent badasses. I even drew their tattoos separately because both are covered, and the "convergent evolution" made me giddy enough to draw them (and shade them, for some strange reason). [cw: gun] #OCSky #OC #art
An illustration of two characters pointing guns at one another, featuring Pavus's Alexis [he/him] and my La Doña [she/her]. Both characters are Black-coded [La Doña being Afro-Latina], both of them are dressed in suits, and their outfit colors are in inverse-- with La Doña wearing predominantly-black, and Alexis wearing predominantly-white. La Doña is visibly older than Alexis, with wrinkles and a white bang on the side of her head. Even though Alexis has white hair on the top half of his undercut, and wears glasses, his complexion is rather smooth.
Gold-gilded versions of their line tattoos are visible on each side of them, which feature a bundle of flowers. La Doña's is only roses and thorny vines, with a Mini-Drake [reptilian dragonfly] perched on one of the blooms. Alexis's tattoo features different sorts of flowers, including roses and irises, with some leaves as accent.

Third #ArtFight attack: this time, I've used a wildlife photo to interpret an animal into a humanoid. This is @meowrai.bsky.social 's Chango, based off the Greater Antillean Grackle, known as chango in the Caribbean. (Is Chango swimming or drowning? We just don't know, dear reader.) #OCSky #OC #art
A shaded illustration of a harpy splashing in the water. The harpy is meowrai's Chango [they/she], a Cleric of the Death Domain, dressed in clothing that resembles their deity: the deified vulture named Chikurra. Chango looks euphoric as she splashes about the water, with wide eyes and a crack of a smile.
On the image is super-imposed text, which reads as follows:
"Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing."

Most responded to it now, so here's my second #ArtFight post of the year: a mass-attack! Decided to do a screenshot redraw with a "Filipino" theme, and took a Friendly Fire hit because of a "Philippines mentioned" reference. Worth the point loss. 🇵🇭 Link: artfight.net/attack/11115... #OCSky #OC #Art
An illustration of a narrow hairstylist's shop, with many photos and graphics of hairstyles and family members on the walls. It is filled to the brim with Filipino characters of different looks, genders, and lineages-- the main hairstylist, Miguel [they/them] being the only non-Filipino, but a transplant. Everyone in the shop is staring at the viewer, as Miguel asks, in Tagalog, "Would you like a haircut, friend?"

Each attacked character (who is not a self-OC) is marked, and their names, pronouns, and owners are listed in the corner.

Featured Characters:
Ayesha [she/her, Remy_Strb); Miles [he/him, sltdwnds); Dayaw [he/him, Mekhartist); Diwa [she/her, dianxiadevotee); Alex [he/him, dangdraws); Macarena [she/her, bulan); Cain [he/him, Overshine); Nikolai (any pronouns, Kiyrox]; Gabriel [he/it/she/they, SacredSapling); Maribel (she/her, orannnggeeee].

Happy Disability Pride and #ArtFight month! Breaking my atypical hiatus on Portfolio Day to reveal this monster of an attack I decided to do to "break into" ArtFight this year. Yes, 939.5 points. Featuring 3 of @micahseacole.bsky.social 's characters, and my Hana. #OCSky #OC #Art #comic
A two-page comic, combined into one illustration for ArtFight.
The setting is a dark room. Ilya [a Human man] is madly clicking the video game controller in his hand as he, as Fithír the moon elf, summons his avian skull-faced familiar Duibheagán to charge right into Flak the Drilophines [an insectoid creature based on Trilobite beetles], winning the round.
Both Ilya and Hana [a Human woman] are sat on the couch, Hana leaning back with her arm over the couch and Ilya hunched forward. Both have very neutral-looking faces.
Round five starts, and Hana starts taking things seriously, saying "あら。" before kicking into high gear, swishing the joystick of her foot control forward and juggling Fithír to death. Ilya watches blankly as it happens, only saying "ну да".
They both bow at each other, saying "good game" as is proper manners. Ilya then asks Hana, "How long have you been playing for?", to which Hana responds, "Since before I started walking with my legs."
The frame shifts proper, showing Hana and Ilya's wheelchairs on each side of the couch, Hana's "legs" [her robotic chassis] sat in hers, but Ilya's prosthetic limbs absent. Before the panel ends, Hana, curious about Ilya's experience in fighting games, asks him, "How about you?"

Thought of this idea as a spur-of-the-moment thing, which makes no sense as there's an obvious language barrier. The people in Daeseom don't know a sphinx's diet, so Kyri gets to try a Gryphon's. Sphinxes can digest wood and mushrooms, right @micahseacole.bsky.social ? #KyrisCostumes #Art #GiftArt

#bweirdOCtober Day #2: New OC. It's technically "new OCs" as I made them together. I mentioned Kiri's siblings, so these're Kiri's parents (and step-parents). Her oyaji, Umetarō [he/him], has three "wives": Na-rae [she/her], Xiānlì [they/he~she], and Chihiro [they/she]. #OC #OCsky #OC-tober #art [+]
A drawing of Kiri's oyaji and his three wives.
Umetarō is a coded-Japanese man with light-brown skin, black hair and eyes, and a beard with sideburns. He is fat, and is sat on the ground in his kimono. Despite looking forwards, he is having a conversation with his second wife.
Chihiro, sitting to his left, is a coded-Japanese femme with light-brown skin and black hair and eyes. She is wearing a combination of kimono and hakama, and has her hair down and messy. They sit cross-legged (and armed) on the floor as they look over to Na-rae.
Xiānlì, knelt behind Umetarō with their hands on his shoulders, is a coded Chinese genderfluid person, with tan skin and black hair and eyes. They are dressed in masculine hanfu, with their hair in a topknot. They're looking at Chihiro with a grin.
Na-rae, sat to Umetarō's right, is a coded Korean woman with pale skin and black eyes and hair. She is plus-sized and is dressed in hanbok, with her hair in a braided chignon. She smiles at Chihiro slightly.

Starting #bweirdOCtober late. #1: Fav OC. I don't do "favorites" but I *do* hyper-focus on OCs. My current hyper-focus targets are my in-progress novel's main character, and the person that xie met through xier job in burlesque: Ahn [xie/xier] and Nami/Língbō [they/he]. #OC #OCsky #OC-tober #art [+]
A close crop of Ahn [xie/xier] in University. Ahn is a Korean-coded character with pale skin, dark eyes, and, as of university, multi-colored hair. Xie is wearing xier hanbok unconventionally, the jeogori untied and showing a yellow T-shirt underneath. Xie is signing to an off-screen character the word "cute" in LSE [Spanish Sign Language] with one hand, the other hand lifted as if in mid-communication.
Another close-up crop of Ahn, 17 years later. Xier hair is its natural black, now long and held in a ponytail. Xie is wearing xier hanbok properly in this image, and is slightly smiling at the viewer.
A close crop of Nami [they/he] shirtless. Nami is coded mixed Chinese-Japanese, with tan skin, dark eyes and hair, and a short, side-swooping hairstyle. Their shoulders are tattooed with flower blossoms in black ink. They look at the viewer from the side with a smirk.
Another close-up of Nami in the middle of using their inhaler. He is wearing a haori on his shoulders, with most of his tattoos obscured. The inhaler and spacer have intricate designs on their shells. They look at the viewer while mid-exhale.

Very late #PortfolioDay but still the 8th on the East coast! I'm Cats (amongst other monikers), a mixed-lineage Floridian with a specialty in world-building. I love constructing creatures, characters, cultures, and languages? Looking for work next year! (Arachnophobia warning.) #art #oc #collage
A collection of Catatante's best works of February to Early October. Features:
1. A master study, showcasing a Korean-coded person sitting in xier hanbok atop a couch, stacks of pillows below xier.
2. A creature design sheet based on the Tagalog folklore creature the Tigmamanukan. The design is based on Fairy bluebirds, Therizinosaurus, crested lizards, and kangaroos. In the image is their rider, an indigenous elder.
3. A creature design sheet for a wingless Gryphon. Its design is based on birds, wolves, ornithopods, and alscops. In the image is their trusted other [rider], a coded Korean-Japanese in hanbok.
4. A painting of someone being resuscitated from nearly drowning near a shoreline.
5. A fully-painted background with two characters drawn to emulate an overlayed animation cel. One is eating as the other communicates in sign language.
6. A creature design sheet for a deity based on ocean spiders. Its design is based on driders and Japanese folklore.
Image collage part 2.
7. A painting of a person riding on a boat, leg up on the boat's ledge and holding a poled lantern.
8. A filled crop of a deity interpretation. He wears a headdress and bears lots of tattoos, his loincloth banded with the colors of the rainbow.
9. An illustration of a character getting their hair de-loced by their significant other's iná, in said significant other's home.
10. An illustration of a deity that is a hybrid of newt, mud eel, frog, and axolotl. His colors are a gradient, head to tail: brown, green, yellow, white. He sticks His tongue out while staring at the viewer.
11. An illustration of a coat-wearing androgyne slamming an effeminately-dressed masculine person into the glowing wall behind him. Their gazes are intense.
12. A bust of a mystic (katulunan) dressed in their ritual clothes: an alampay, barong, and head-scarf. They look at the viewer from the side.

For #RetrOCtober, I've decided to redraw an ancient OC that died in canon and never came back. Drew this two days ago but I had to give him a proper redesign. (See next post.) His character gimmick was that he has long hair: if it's cut, he dies. That wasn't how he died, though. #art #OC #OCsky
A redraw of an old OC, with the ancient art visible in the top right corner and the new art front and off-center.
This character is/was Tokii, a pale-skinned, blue eyed Human man with very long, red hair.
In the old art drawn in MS Paint, from January of 2008, his back faces the viewer, and is depicted with one feathered wing-- the other wing visibly chopped off. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt and baggy navy pants.
The redraw has him standing with his long hair held in his hands. The white shirt (which is barely visible in the old art) was drawn to resemble a kosode, as the character is Japanese-coded. His name, Tokii, is written with the Kanji character [時]. It was spelled with an extra I on purpose.
Whereas the old art has him looking to his left, the new art has him looking at the viewer, straight-on.
