Oc Pink As A Dictator. (inspired By An Image From Pinterest And Also That One Cat That Was A Dictator.)

af attack on user @/-candycat- over there. i once again attempted a bg for this piece bc he was so small and adventurous.

Birfday gift for @erimimikyuwu ♡♡

AF attack on pippinn on af and @pepoboyz here.

older drawing,., this is angel au vers. of my friends cowboy joan. love her.

been thinking about fairies and amping up their design (more) recently. decided since theyre bugs theyll have another pair ‘a arms.,. also the drawing above is losely based on my character azalea if i wasnt tryin to be accurate <3

fairy lore n developments:

also going to give them more distinct physical classes (based on bug castes) (more specifically leafcutter ants are what ive been looking at recently). very intrigued by the giant tank ants that have little ants to defend them so im thinking about military units fashioned after that.

another thing ive decided is that the patterned side of their wings would face forwards for social reasons so other fairies can see while the usually camouflaged side would face backwards (less of a target from behind). this is specifically the opposite of how butterflies have wings to be camouflaged when closed.

still deciding how theyre going to properly protect these giant ass flimsy wings when not using them but all ive got right now is that their wings are much stronger than the average butterfly.,. and perhaps they cover their wings with some protective material.

oh yeah i was also thinking about how due to the social and physical distinctions being based on caste, and the fact that sex would not have much of a difference in their builds, that they socially would not have a concept of gender as related to sex, but their closest approximation would be caste which i think is a fun dynamic (get ungendered idiots)

don't get stressed

workin on my nyx (stolen name of my god of night lmao) design and other related things. decided to use my character baetyl (who is a night angel) for my last illustration project of the semester so thats been my motivation.

^ this is the sketchh for it. i like how it looks so far <3

and here are the sketches from where i was working on revamping her design.

lore below vvv

some basic info is that she is the head of the main pantheon in the world. in terms of religion popularity the sun god is way bigger but hes dead so its kinda hard to be in charge. both the sun and night god are some form of gnc, ive decided theyre the primordial she/they and he/they-ers. uhhh shes got two daughters (the two moons), one bigger and one smaller which is reflected in a lot of the design. (she loves her weird freak neurodivergent daughters.)

uhhh the night angels (my oc baetyl being the only one designed lmao) are the main angels of the world. do all the enforcing she requires and such.,., theres also sun angels but theyre less of a.,., species? group? theyre more just a couple of freaks.

Nyxes pantheon is pretty much the main one, and she has the most power outside of a few notable gods who aren’t particularly interested in contesting her throne.

also a fun similarity between her and the sun god is the wings, shes got bat and hes got dragon wings (pretty much the same thing).

seems like ive never posted baetyl before so heres his design

hunted down a random older sun god drawing as well for reference. this is no longer accurate but its close enough :shrug:

au versions of two of my cowboys,, both of these were potential designs that i never decided on <3 i don’t do enough nice traditional sketches any more

Progress on my Padawan Clone OC! Haven't decided on a name for them yet, and I still want to do a full background piece, but I figured I would try out some colors and lighting!

If anyone has any name suggestions feel free!
