Got my card for Bad Things Happen Bingo. Many thanks for the team!

My Wraith the Oblivion OCs yay!

❗CW: death❗

Let's start with Claude, even though he's not the main guy. But he has the prettiest picture drawn for him, so yeah. Legion of Paupers, former thrall of some rich Stygian bastard, he wasted his life in-between two World Wars and had only just begun putting it back together. He's a bit sharp-tongued and has a lot of trust issues, but he's trying his best. That's the most important part, isn't it? Also he's good at "Inhabit" Arcanoi.

Next we have Ginger! My comfort OC for all the wrong reasons. A modern girl whose perfectionism didn't let her live peacefully and continues to torment her even in Shadowlands in a form of, well, her Shadow. Ginger is a newcomer in Stygia and she's from Silent Legion, but all of it didn't prevent her from befriending Fyodor (see below), then Claude, then some more wraiths. Also one day Ginger will be a master of "Castigate", but for now she's a mere amateur.

First picture was loosely inspired by Brodsky's poem "Nature Morte", especially by this part:

An absurd pack of

Lies: skull, skeleton, scythe.

Rather, «Death, when it comes,

It will have

your own two eyes.»

Absolutely incredible poem. I highly recommend reading the full version. Sadly I was able to find only one English translation, but it captures the meaning pretty well. You should be able to find it if you search for the lines above :'D

❗cw: blood❗

And finally, Фёдор = Fyodor, or Fedya for friends. My favourite Slavic name :D

Grim Legion. A Red Army's soldier who had fallen during Russian Civil War. Despite his background and Legion, Fyodor is a very thoughtful and calm man. He's torn between the Hierarchy and Renegades for now... If (when ;)) this whole cast will go Renegade, it'll probably be triggered by Fyodor. Not such a fun fact about him: he couldn't read when he was alive and he still is pretty bad at it. That's because he comes from a family of peasants and he hasn't actually gotten the chance to live long enough to see Bolsheviks reforming everything and giving people education. I don't know if it's for the better or worse. He doesn't know either. History has always been a tricky topic.

I continue reposting my old twst art here on Tumblr... My Octavinelle post got a lot of positive feedback, thank you so much :D

Silly sketchy thing based on a silly idea. I thought that NRC boys would make really cool goths and RSA boys would look great in pastels. And then I tried to switch the aesthetics between the two and threw in Rollo as a some sort of connection point. This piece is so old, we didn't know that Rollo is as high as Jade when it was made x')

In the end I think I should have done more research, cause this designs don't feel like they reflect the initial idea enough, but oh well.

Happy New Year from me and my OCs! :D

I forgor to post my fave twst piece I've ever made wooops

By the way @fishforel made her version of this piece! Take a look :]

I have way too many twst AUs... This Idea is from Past!Au, for example.

The main idea is "what if twst cast lived a few centures earlier?". The potion for mers to become humans is not yet invented - but a trio of a very dedicated (and trustworthy ;)) mers is working on it. The human-fae conflict is ongoing. The Shroud family is not yet cursed at the beginning of the story, but (spoilers heh) at the end of it Idia, as the last heir to his family, is cursed by Jupiter family and sentenced to death (because plot). That's the Idia you see at the picture — prior to curse his hair is black.

Thankfully, the three mermen (I wonder who those are...) have found a way to turn into humans thanks to Yuu's help, and in return for their service, those mers grant Yuu's wish to save Idia from execution. Honestly, this whole AU is self-indulgent hot mess, but I enjoyed thinking about it. Maybe I'll do it again in the future.

Thanks for asking!

I'm not sure which three characters you mean, so I'll talk about all of them in brief :D

❗It gets kinda dark❗

Also English is my second language, so I apologise for any mistakes... And messed up punctuation.

So, these two. Winnie (left) and Journey (right). My DnD OCs. They come from a setting where from time to time a powerful goddess of storm arises and wanders the world, changing it drastically. The Storm has already came during these guys childhoods, and now it apparently is starting again, and everyone is anxious, since this shouldn't happen so often.

Anyways, Winnie, my fairy boy, who got kicked out from his home plane, Arcadia, by the previous Storm and to this day hasn't found a way back. He was raised in several orphanages, where he wasn't very well liked, for his fae nature made him pretty free-spirited and emotional, which bewildered other folk, who grew up with "being emotional = being inconvenient = bad" mindset. Usual stuff. So Winnie found a somewhat acceptable way of expressing himself in music. He is a Creation college bard. For now Winnie is travelling with a group of adventurers in search for Storm deity, and maybe he'll ask her to bring him back home. Or maybe he'll figure that this group has become his home and Winnie has no point in leaving... Who knows ;)

Journey is my changeling, who lived in a forest. During the Storm Journey found a girl laying in ravine motionlessly and, out of sheer curiosity about humans, Journey assumed her form. That girl was an heiress to a noble family, so after the Storm ended, a search for her was announced. They've never found the original girl, but they found Journey in her form and assumed that she was actually the one they were searching for — just without some of her memories from some head injury which occurred during the Storm. So Journey grew up as an aristocrat with a very good education, taking special interest in alchemy and becoming an Artificer Alchemist. However, growing up Journey finally understood what had happened that day. She felt immense guilt about stealing the life that didn't belong to her, even if it was no fault of hers. One day she accidentally revealed herself to be a changeling to her adoptive parents and fled in shame... Which is really sad, because her parents really didn't mind. Of course they'll grieve the fate of their biological daughter, but through this years Journey has become their kid. And now Journey has run away :(

Guess this group of adventurers will have to figure themselves out quite a bit...

Next we have my Selkie menace from Changeling: the Dreaming. I'll refer to him by his fae name: Foka. It's actually a name of Greek origin meaning "seal", Slavic people have used it as well (actually, many names Slavic people use nowadays are of Greek origin :D)

Foka was growing up as a completely normal boy in the port city in the northern Russia, until his grandmother gave him her Selkie coat before passing away, thus forcing Foka to undergo Chrysalis as a Selkie. And Foka absolutely hates this. He doesn't want to do anything with the magical insanity changelings have to deal with, he doesn't want to save the world from Banality, he just wants to live in peace. At the same time, Foka knows that there is no going back for him. Something in his soul is now repelled by the idea of going back to his boring, banal life. Besides, what he has now is an inheritance from his grandmother of sorts. And Foka loves her. For now he is still struggling with his changeling life, but deep down he knows he'll come to accept it soon.

Foka was actually based on leopard seal, which I find a perfect mixture of cute and terrifying, so he is kinda a menace. Unseelie Grump in a young body, with little attachments to both his old and new life and yet with vague longing for both of them. He is willing to help fellow changelings when he can, but don't expect him to be nice about it. Don't expect him to be nice about anything, really.

And now, finally, my old picture with human-ish mien of my CtL OC. That neck is killing me... Anyways, this is Cut and he is an Gristlegrinder Ogre.

Despite Ogre's reputation about being tall, muscular and terrifying, Cut is actually pretty slim for an Ogre, because his Keeper (that creepy flesh blob) didn't give Cut enough food. Which led to Cut's unhealthy relationship with food. Cut also has a frailty "must drink alcohol instead of water". Alcohol doesn't make him drunk, he's immune to it, but it is expensive and reminds him of his family in awful ways... So that sucks too :/

Cut is getting through his problems, though. He is really appreciative of what he has already and works for his future to be even better. He is a proud member of Summer Court. He works in different places (currently at McDonald's 😭), saving money to go to the uni and get a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering. He has a small, but close friend group with other changelings. His fetch is in another country (Cut got out from Arcadia not in the place from where he left) and doesn't bother him. So yeah, Cut is getting his life together. My precious dude. Hardworking, slightly edgy (he's a CtL OC, that's kinda the point anyways) and a sort of goofy big brother for local newbie changelings.

So yeah, that's pretty much all the main things about these guys! Thanks again for asking :]
