I neglect my OCs too much, so I finally decided to sit down and actually design some characters for a story I’ve had in my head for 3 years🤪 Some of them I designed way back when I first got the idea, others I didn’t even draw until just last month…
I unfortunately did not have the foresight to draw a proper line-up, so characters are jumbled around kinda randomly, but they all eventually interact in some way or another.
Finally finished a sketch from march😭 the Rubik’s cube one is from September of last year. Oof.
More OCs 😗 Fun fact, Lumi was originally a self-insert character for Okegom fanfic way back when I was obsessed with Idate, and if you look hard enough, you’ll find artwork of her that friends have made for me in the past. Lol.
Eventually I decided I wanted her to be her own independent character, which resulted in… frankly the most boring thing one could possibly come up with, so I ditched that story years ago. I can’t abandon Lumi herself no matter how hard I try, however, so I’m taking a completely different approach now. What I came up with this time around ended up being eerily similar to the plot of Spice & Wolf, right down to the wolf-girl thing, but eh… 🤷🏻
A couple side characters I redesigned for a “story” that I’m “””writing””” …Jk. It’s been festering in my head since 2019 and the most I’ve gotten out of it is a mediocre outline. I’m not built to be a writer, but I CAN draw the characters! Oh boy, can I draw them.
I plan on redesigning the actual main couple too, so they should be showing up eventuallyyyyy… Maybe.
Welcome to: I am indecisive in nearly every aspect of my life, including art and character design, so instead of settling for one thing, I give my characters entire wardrobes! And somehow it's still not enough.
A little history and trivia under the cut, for anyone who's interested. :P
I drew Isis for the first time way back in 2016 as a one-off humanized version of that GIF of an axolotl playing the piano, but that drawing is long gone, unfortunately. I didn't think about her again until 2019 where something jogged my memory of said drawing, and I decided to revive her. It was at that point I also decided I didn't want her to be lonely and ended up giving her a boyfriend, who manifested himself in the form of a grumpy sea slug boy named Hai. Lol.
They live on an old-fashioned little island called Hydra Angos in the middle of the ocean with a population of about 4,500. Think something like Bar Harbor or Mackinac, except the technology is old and extremely limited (those old box TVs, rotary phones, cassette tapes, film cameras, etc...).
In typical shoujo manga enemies-to-lovers fashion, Hai and Isis dislike each other at first, but it doesn't take long for them to grow attached to each other. They have that cute little puppy love thing going on.

I love drawing things that make no sense
I watched Kaiba (2008) recently and the style is so cute, I couldn't resist trying to imitate it. It was pretty easy translating Domino's design into a Kaiba character, but the upper area kinda stumped me. The bow feels like too much, but it's part of her original outfit and I didn't want to omit it. Maybe I'll try again later. ￣へ￣
