👉🙀🎭👻✨🦖💦 #OC 要新年ㄌ一起玩鬧

Nice art to end the year! Hope you’re doing well ^^

I'm Brackets and I love drawing with harsh colors, grand vistas, and girls 🖤

Love them all, especially the last one! Kinda want it as a poster lol

These look amazing! What kind of brushes did you use?

Here’s some stuff I did this year. I think I really messed around with the styles this time and I’m honestly proud of all of them :)

I’m glad I could get the feeling across! I’ll try to make more comics in the future ^^.

I should be posting one more time before the year ends if all goes according to plan lol. Can’t wait to see more of your work too!!

IT IS DONE!! I now respect comic artists even more than before (this was fun)! I didn’t think it would take me so long but I hope the wait was worth it :). Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays again yall!

This surprise is taking SO LONG but it will be worth it :3. I’ll probably post it at midnight at this point

Such a cute little guy :). Merry Christmas!

Soooo anyone remember that Christmas-themed redraw I started last year? I’m redrawing the redraw. 🌝

I’m hoping to finish it EARLY this year!!

No, thank you for telling me your technique! I’ll try to use it more often to convey the tone better :). Glad you like the sketches

Thank you, I will! Happy Holidays :D

Happy to hear that!! And happy to help again :)

I’m happy that helped! I’m not usually good at explaining things lol. I still struggle with not letting others put me down but it gets easier with time.

Here’s the first one! Hope y’all like it :). I tried out something new from @minaru0409.bsky.social with the editing ^^. Hope I did it right lol

- in their art. It’s partially what makes art so soulful and subjective in my opinion. Hopefully you’ll see parts of yourself in your ocs, some you wanna work on and some you’re proud of, and say “I love me too because they wouldn’t be this way without me.” Give yourself some grace :)

It hurts when people we love say stuff like that. I myself have experienced something similar to this. One day, I hope that you can confidently say “I love you” to yourself since you are the first person you should hear that from (hope that made sense lol). I think everyone puts a bit of themselves-

Thank you so much! I was worried this wouldn’t do well but I’m glad you like it :)

Hey guys! I didn’t realize how busy I would be these past couple days to the point where I couldn’t even post 🥲. Hope y’all are having a good time during the holidays and I’ll ACTUALLY be able to post twice today (second one is a surprise 😌) Thanks you guys for being patient and awesome! Love y’all!

Help her cause she wants it, not cause she needs it 😔

A short chapter to end out the year so I'm sharing the full thing here-- it's fun to see how much they've changed!

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

Text: “BANANA BANDIT AVG. HEIGHT - 36” AVG. WEIGHT - 80-90LB CAN BE FOUND IN BANANA TREES AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR ***DO NOT APPROACH*** Description: A mostly green creature with the height and weight of a large dog. Its face has a wolf-like shape with forest green fur, light green snout, a yellowish nose, and purple eyes with light blue pupils. Its body consists of the same forest green fur along its body with light green fur on its sharp claws and star shaped tail. It also has dark green fur along its back and a fake yellow banana tail. Its teeth are sharp and its tongue is blue—indicating that it has powers. Behind it is a red backdrop with the texture of parchment soaked in old blood on the right side. Included, is a yellowed description with black text and banana tree stamped on the bottom. Abilities/Other: Not really thinking of the size, I feel like they would climb banana trees and, using their plant powers, cover themselves up until some unlucky fool arrives. Otherwise, they just eat bananas and grub. I can see them as solitary creatures but when one of them screeches, it’s calls for help from whoever is nearby. Maybe when things get tough, they form a pack so they can get larger animals and leave when it’s not convenient anymore.

Been busy with some private stuff lately but I wanted to experiment with my art a little (not necessarily a style change btw). It’s not perfect but I love it :)
I’ll also be posting twice today. Next one should be traditional art.

Thank you so much! I had to get some rest but I might be posting something today ^^. I’m still working on the power scaling but she’s definitely one of the strongest characters I have >:). I’m happy I got to talk with you!!

I’m really happy I got to talk about them! (I usually just talk to my brother about my characters in detail lol.) Thanks for reading all that!! I have other characters with fire abilities like Uma (Goddess of War and Wisdom). She has other abilities too but fire is her favorite :)

Wolfy was born with extremely high fire powers but the Devil King has a combined number of elemental powers over a couple centuries, connections that stretch across the world, protection from his god, future sight, etc. DK’s strong, not invincible just like Wolfy. Otherwise, there’s no story lol

Wolfy on the left and the Devil King on the right. Wolfy is older than him by at least 100 years and sees himself as his older brother. The Devil King is at least 500 years old and only sees himself as someone dangerous but ultimately below him due to his class type. Like Talos, the Devil King is an amalgama (I made up the word. It comes from the words amalgamation and gamma). They can gain power by consuming blood, guts, or bones (anywhere there is blood).

I am pretty busy at the moment but I’ll always reply when I have the time or energy, don’t worry! Xue Lou kinda reminds me of one of my characters, Wolfy. He used to serve the Devil King but became his Second in Command due to his loyalty towards him. He’s cautious at times but usually a loose canon

You’re welcome!
Xue Luo sounds like a stoic type of guy. Also, thanks for telling me Guigui’s name! Her personality matches with her powers lol

Correction: I drew Diana when I was 15 and Talos at 9 if my memory is correct. Xue Luo seems very kind but also clumsy at the same time lol. Glad to learn more about the other families along with her! I wonder if she’s played any tricks on her family (I know I would lol). Thanks for answering!
