Thread 7698981

1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.

2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.

3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.

4: This is NOT a request thread. Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.

5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)

Previous Thread: >>7661054

This is Elowyn, my skyrim dragonborn OC.

Another one of my Skyrim OC's, She's an ex imperial battlemage that fights for the stormcloak rebellion.

This is rebecca and fayran. Fayranns backstory is that she's a mage obsessed with the ethics of magic, how it should only be used to help others and how the dark arts like necromancy, mind control, summoning monsters should never be used.

Whoops, forgot the image. Rebecca and fayran:

bump

>>7669809
How did this not get any replies? Very cool character, anon. Would love to know more about him and his setting.

>>7673212
Excellent delivery, friend.

>>7675326
Bloggu?

>>7679099
Mega sick.

>>7698981 (OP)
I asked if ballpoint artworks is fine, so here's an OC I came up with while doing my studies.

Idea I have is a team of super powered individuals from around the world in a retro futuristic 60s setting. Will it be sorta Fantastic Four ish? Probably given that Cheryl here is a British science type with stretching powers. Making it up as I go along as always.

my ocs as magical dragons

She is Jammy my DND jelly monster alien who greatest fear is empty jars because she can’t escape it or escape it’s suction

>>7698981 (OP)
I will not draw in a thread labeled Pedophile edit.

>>7698981 (OP)
I will not draw in a thread labeled Pedophile edition.

>>7699983
The weak have been culled. I will be participating.

>>7699983
I didn't even notice that. What a strange title

>>7699935
Do the colours have any significance for each character?

>>7699983
The weak have no purpose here. Leave.

>>7699983
The entire board is pedophile edition at this point

>>7699983
Yea wtf? Can we just get another thread?

>>7699918
The atmosphere of this is cool.

>>7699625
That's crazy, I'm also working on a superhero story set in the 60s! It doesn't lean into the retro-futuristic aesthetic, but I do love that look. Hope you like this!

And here is my superhero gal! She can fly and has ridiculous levels of super strength, but unfortunately she feels pain just like a normal person. So using even a fraction of her full power in a punch, for example, is usually enough to make her pass out from sheer agony. But she loves helping people so much that she is willing to tough it out when she is needed.

>1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.

2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.

3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.

I've been fleshing out my characters backstories but people seem uninterested in me when I don't provide them the nsfw artwork. Like I thought these people wanted to work on a potential project but when the writing needs work they all bail on me. Anybody else experienced this? Maybe they don't think I'm legitimate.

>>7700638
anon what are you talking about, not every fag on ic cares about nsfw artwork. just post it if you want

>>7700660
OK. I wasn't talking about ic.

>>7700726
This looks really cool! You're really good at drawing armor.

>>7700726
Do you have an oc of your own?

Pretty cool. Never realized my oc been draw. I will draw a ton this thread as payment, they even named the thread after me.

>>7700638
could you elaborate? So people lose interest when they realize you're not doing porn...? it sounds like an issue with the company you're choosing to keep son.

>>7700504
I like it. Im abstaining from this thread because of the name but I hope yo see in the next

>>7701526
Glad you like it! Yeah I don't know why she called it that, but I think by the time the next thread comes around Creative Clash will be going on. I might still pop in and do a fill or two.

>>7698981 (OP)
sauce?

>>7699028
>>7699040

I really like your art. do you have a blog?

>>7700755
I think I am just okay. Although it helps if you got a spare moment, you can look up what some of these components are called and it really registered in your head when you have a name attached to them, stuff like cuirass, tasette, pauldron, breast plates, etc.

>>7700798
I do but I am just filling for the time being.

>>7701645

>>7677376
Anon who drew this char from the last thread, I didn't forget about your oc, the thread just saged sorry!

It's still wip but I'll try and finish it tomorrow.

>>7702157
Nooooo, her one weakness

>>7702167
Thank you! This is amazing! I've been thoroughly mogged :D

>>7702475
Nah dog, you might not see it yourself, but you've got much better technique than me. Your rendering is better too, I think mine just comes across as visually appealing at first because it's quite "fluffy".

>>7702712
No offense to the other guy, his art is lovely, but... come on. You're one of the best character artists on this board. That said, I think you made her right arm a little too short, even if it's supposed to be foreshortened.

>>7701920
>>7698981 (OP)

>>7698981 (OP)
>>7701920
blog?

(odd, idk why it didn't post my message. I will try again.)

>>7702719
Maybe. I have a lot of deficiencies and I'm acutely aware of them. Best character artist, just as long as your character is a nubile young female with an upturned nose in a solo character illustration with no background, sure lol. I think his illustrations have a level of weight to them that I lack though, and I need to diversify my subjects if I want to improve.

>>7676862
I love this. socials??

>>7699935
Fun designs. It's like they were made to be posed together like puzzle pieces. I need to consider that more with my stuff.

>>7701624
>Creative Clash
Is this cool? I sat out of art fight because I didn't like the vibes so I might do this but glancing at it makes me think it's going to be a whole lot of porn and not much else.

>>7703844
There is a lot of porn, but no, it's not just porn. You can just say "Don't draw NSFW of my characters," or even "don't draw NSFW of this specific character," and people will respect it. Personally, I don't draw porn on there either, but my attacks have been well received. It's worth checking out.

>>7703886
What is creative clash? Ive been hearing about it on twitter for some days

>>7704303
It's like a smaller Art Fight with fewer content restrictions, and minors are not allowed to join. It's pretty chill.

>>7699040

>>7702728
>>7702725
its @ac120rfw but you might want to use bluesky version if you want to avoid more objectionable porn.

>>7704747
>objectionable porn
just say pedoshit pedophile.

>>7704747
Do you have a character we can draw? Maybe one in keeping with the thread theme?

>>7704747
>WHO WANTS A PIECE OF THE CHAMP?

>>7703844
Wonderful work

>>7704767
I thought you were goofin but nope, you're right. Not sure what I was expecting.

someone's oc who drew mine a few months(?) ago. I need to deliver.
if you're here, I hope you like this

>>7704747
>>7704767
>>7705232
Oh. So that's why it was called pedophile edition...
See you guys next thread hopefully it's normal next time

>Magi of all people does fills
>People piss and moan
Fuck you guys

>>7705322
I appreciate it but a spade's a spade. Making it public is something of a choice and well, he chose it.

>>7705380
might as well make a new thread now, anon, because this one is going to take a while.

>>7704747
That's a really nice drawing of fayran!

>>7705387
rip, I don't think I care that much sorry.

>>7705322
You have no idea how far this general fell off. He wasn't even top 15 artist then.

>>7705541
Hm, I wonder if it's fell off because of people like you that only complain but offer nothing of substance. Surely not

Keep this thread up, Im currently drawinf messy haired witch lady from previous thread

>>7705541
y-you have a list anon? I am interested in seeing that list, and their art, because it sounds like fun.

>>7705548
its not going anywhere, things are slow recently.

>>7705541
This, crazy how many people dont know how good this general used to be in terms of artist. The current threads dont even hold a candle to the old ones.

>>7705541
>>7705565
In this very thread we have fills from Magebasin, Magi, and Sultanajr. But sure dude, the general fell off.

>>7705565
While I agree, at least we know that we didn't lose your no draw ass.

Dumping some old art to show the decline in quality of this thread. Back when people provided full descriptions for their ocs, use complex colors and backgrounds, and even drew multiple characters in one image for fills.

why do you think they don't post here any more?

>>7705688
>>7705689
multiple reason. dedicated schizos and constant threads derailment for the sake of driving people from these threads, the lack of good ocs to draw and fills to receive, greedy beggars in the threads, the list goes on...

>>7705551
It's a goddamned shame how much slower this board has gotten.

>>7705736

if you are just going to drop the thread by dumping old shit I can join in. lol

>>7705737
Its not just /ic/.

>>7705752
never forget what they took from you

>>7700504
Thanks anon! Been busy so late to reply but wanna say she looks good! I'll aim to get a sketch of your Titania character when I can.

>>7705003
Nice sketch of Cheryl! Liking the interpretations of her designs so far.

>>7705698
There was like a 6 month period of people just constantly pissing and shitting in these threads.

>>7705706
I think about this anon fairly regularly. The guy was a legit schizo and also seemed like an unpleasant person to try and interact with but I loved their art. Has a real tactile, solid feel to it.

>>7705753
Thanks for posting these. For about 2 years I was saving all the artwork and characters (that I liked) from these threads but have long since lost the folder.

Jesus this is just sad. Living in the past, having to repost other peoples work because yours is so shit? (not that all of those are great anyway)

These threads really have gone downhill, we get stuck with you trying to reminisce instead.

>>7705753
You can hardly blame them for leaving.

>>7705762
>>7705771
The first two years were highly chaotic but the art and quality of posters more than made up for it. I have more art but i feel like I more than made my point about the oc threads from then vs now.

>>7705766
No need to seethe about the art dump, just post something half as good or even just a completed fill (color+bg). Surely you will make an anon's day with a nice fill will you not?

>>7705787
>No need to seethe
Brother...you need to take a good hard look in the mirror, you're more than half the posts in this thread.

I'll do a fill just for you. I'll even color it, but you need to chill.

>>7705239
Hell yeah, anon I love her expression. She's awesome looking. Thanks a bunch.

>>7705766
I only joined at the end of 2024 so I dont know what the thread used to be like but it is pretty cringe to see people lament about how good things used to be. It always reads like people upset they're not getting the fills they want. I'm just trying to chill and draw, it's not a big deal.

>>7705762
The saddest shit is a lot of it came from a Discord server that got doxxed on the threads. They had some weird beef with a lot of our best and most productive artists.

"You roped me into this thread full of bullshit. If it was complains about fillings, pedo shit, and arguments about how good this thread used to be, I would have stayed my ass on Twitter, fighting over the skintone of a character."

it's the internet in general
everyone's leaving or not interacting anymore because everything and every interaction is just cancer
they won't tell you this because they don't want to make themselves a target

You wanted to eat shit, shit all over the place and spray your shit on the walls? This is the outcome.
it's fucking over

pls don't fucking reply to me
idc i'm joining the apathy club as well

>>7705792
>I'll do a fill just for you. I'll even color it, but you need to chill.
draw for someone else, I already gotten some of best fills years ago.
>>7705796
>it is pretty cringe to see people lament about how good things used to be. It always reads like people upset they're not getting the fills they want.
I just came here to prove to >>7705631 that the threads quality. sorry that made you feel insecure or inadequate for some reason. my bad anon.
>>7705799
All of the vendettas were completely one sided and from a bunch people who never drew on top of it. rip to what was lost, those were some good threads.

Is this character allowed? I want to post more [new art I made] of him because I love fan art of him, but I don't want what happened to me again. I was pretty discouraged before.

>>7705748
And here's my contribution.

>>7705666
old man, stop yelling at clouds
nice trips but i have to say, I don't want to dump a whole backstory for my OC, put a background in character art (which is retarded, the OC is the main focus so why add a background), or draw all my motley crew of OC's in one image. hell, I like to draw one OC at a time because it lets the focus of the composition be on the OC, because THAT'S THE POINT OF THE FUCKING THREAD!?!?!?

I just come here to draw wacky characters.
draw or don't draw, no need to complain about how it > used to be better back when i was a teenager 5 years ago
and then post a ton of art you didn't make.
I don't care if anyone draws my OC, I don't even post one until someone asks, and by then I've already drawn a majority of them. no one is drawing things for (you)r satisfaction, they draw because it's fun so policing them only proves you're a bitter bitch that no one wants to be around. perhaps that's why all these 'great artists' left, because people like you.

>>7705843
I apologized and did a fill.
IIRC most of the backlash was pettiness over the OP image, so welcome back. Don't be gay about it and run away this time.

>>7705871
What is your OC

Expecting things to remain the same forever is pretty silly.

Time passes, life happens and people will leave, the problem is that you're supposed to leave with them, if you're bemoaning their departure then that just means you've been staying still this whole time.

What have you been doing?

>>7705889
I'll post one after I finish this fill.

>>7705894
It's Americana in a way.
All your friends from school move away, go to college, move to the big city and start a family, and you're still working the same job at the oil change place you got a job at 17 at.
Still go to the same dive bar, and once in a while you see a friend there who came home to visit his mother for thanksgiving.
We actually need some people like that. They can tell us stories about what changed after everyone left. Who bought the old Barckley house, who got married to who, and so on.

And while everyone moves on with their life, they simply stay put, telling anyone who will listen to how things once were....


Excuse me, I think I need to go call my mother.

>>7705894
Well where did they all go, because I'm starting to get sick of this place too.

>>7705941
If you have to ask, you aren't welcome there.

This is the first time I've seen old oc threads fills causing people to get so bent out of shape. People usually just shitpost about the good ol days but this time it feels like the newer anon(s) are mad they weren't as cool as the older posters. Strangle.

>>7705753
Man, I remember being a little /beg/shit and wishing how badly I could be as good as all of these anons and then some... how things change.

Picrel not mine.

>>7705956
Eh, maybe some anons are sad they missed out or don't like that the change is being pointed out? Really hard to tell with how fickle it can be in here.

Honestly the threads as they are now aren't jamming with me, so I'm surprised to see new blood keeping the threads alive (although it feels like it's by a thread sometimes). At the same time, I definitely miss the threads the way they were and wish other anons could've experienced the same life that it once had.

What can you really do in that case?

Truly, it is what it is.

>>7705956
Are you just pretending to be retarded?
>Yeah I know this thread is mostly 1 guy spamming his cope that the old anons who gave the fills he wanted are gone, but really its the other new anons that are mad they aren't as cool as the old anons
I honestly cant understand this. It's either the dumbest samefag, or an actually fucking retarded person.
Either draw or please stop spamming

"Strangle"

>>7705978
cool it with the jealousy anon it is exactly why there was a mentally ill discord targeting these people from what I recall.

>>7705967
Pyw anon It'd be cool to see art improvement from people who used to post here

>>7705666
The old fills really does show how "phoned in" the current threads feel. No wonder this got under people skin.

I was just gonna post my OC again since im still stuck in progress with some anon's ocs from last thread, but what the hell is happening to /ic/?

>>7706214
an exceptionally dedicated group of 3 or 4 trolls who like to do long-winded fake arguments until they force threads to die. That's what's been happening.

>>7706257
That said I'm staying the fuck away from this thread until the new one comes because jesus christ why would you name it "pedophile edition".

>>7706259
Just make a new thread, more people will join then this one will die. This one is fucked anyways.

>>7706259
They used one of my deliveries in the op, there is some guy on /ic/ following me around to make sure to call me a pedophile because I sometimes draw loli and shota stuff on my twitter.

>>7706259
The anon doth protest too much.

>>7706214
it's the internet in general
everyone's leaving or not interacting anymore because everything and every interaction is just cancer

>>7706287
Sounds like you a problem. If it smells like shit everywhere you go then you should check under your shoe.

>>7706263
>there is some guy on /ic/ following me around to make sure to call me a pedophile because I sometimes draw loli and shota stuff on my twitter.
>because I sometimes draw loli and shota stuff on my twitter.
To be completely fair, you are not helping your case

>>7706297
>you are not helping your case
huh?

>>7706304
Do I really have to spell this out for you?

>>7706259
I thought it spelt “pediphile edition” to gatekeep Twitterfags and Discordfags away from /ic/?
Captcha: GAYKK

>>7706338
go ahead.

>>7706352
There is no helping you if you can't figure it out

>>7706383
What was the point? To be a bitch?

Mind you, the people talking about the halcyon days were the instigators in those days as well. Just because they weren't a part of the Discord raid doesn't mean they didn't fling shit themselves. You can witness it happening in this very thread.

>>7706383
pity, find something you like and go draw.

>>7705755
thanks, here is a version with better grays.

>>7706293
your post is exactly the type of shit people are tired of

I need to drop in and ask if any of you have any good references for magical girl outfit designs. I don't make ocs so I'm not plagued by the autism that comes with it, but I need to design outfits for a character I'm working on, and I'm pretty weak on that front

>>7706412
>tl;dr
>excuses
>projection
You're not helping your case. You painted a target on someone's back with false accusations. Now eat shit and fuck off.

>>7706442
Oh that clean up does look better. Thanks!

>>7706447
Then leave. You won't though, crybaby.

>>7706041
Alright. I'll throw my nuts on the table. This was my first delivery ever.

>>7706531
And this was from a oneshot I finished a couple of months ago (I hate screentones btw).

>>7706531
And this was from a oneshot I finished a couple of months ago (I hate screentones btw).

I like drawing in full-color a lot better, but B&W was at least a fun challenge, if not a little difficult on my eyes.

>>7703844
I know she's not a mouse, but she kinda looked like one.

>>7706214
She's really cute! Can you tell us more about her personality and story?

>>7700511
bro this is actually peak

This OC is named Thyme. He was a janitor of a steampunk sandclock world but he went on his own adventures. He developed so much magical time energy from many adventures, it absorbed into his belly which ballooned him out, allowing him to create anything or weapons out of his own body [Sand hammer, sand sword, etc.]
Constructive criticism is welcome

>>7699943
And another contribution. I tried drawing other OCs but I'm horrible at drawing detailed human, it feels insulting.

>>7706263
I hope I didn't do her too off-model

>>7707232
Another version

My extremely shitty self insert

>>7707033
Thanks brother, I have a lot of fun drawing her.
>>7706263
>>7707232
Magi, is this your OC? I still owe you for drawing one of my characters a while back.

>>7706805
Lol, this freaking rules. Thanks a ton. Also it's canon now, they're at war.

>>7707232
>>7707234
sorry, its not my oc, but I really appreciate you taking the time to reciprocate, you did a good job!

>>7707278
that post was actually one of my earlier deliveries, because I haven't caught up yet. you really didn't have to though, I appreciate the thought. the attached is my character, Rococo Feathersworth.

>>7661626
Some Quick sketchs from last thread, i loved this design

>>7706972
TY! Her name is Rosette
Rosette’s a fae/dryad who always looks half-asleep because she’s constantly dreaming. Whatever she dreams can slip into reality in weird, artsy ways—like cardboard cutouts or little stage-prop versions of her fantasies. She’s playful, flirty, and shamelessly horny, hitting on anyone she wants and loving sex more than almost anything else.

She’s part of an international group that protects humans from other mythical creatures, but she doesn’t give a fuck about rules. She only sticks around because she once got her ass handed to her by other agents, they feed her, and sometimes she fucks the new recruits while the bosses aren’t looking.

Her past is bittersweet: born as a tiny fairy in the forests of Eastern Europe, she lived freely for decades until humans and the Chernobyl disaster destroyed her home. Her one human friend died from radiation, and the grief and trauma forced her to evolve into a full dryad, gaining bigger powers and a more adult, melancholic mind. Since then, she’s drifted through life, a whimsical, lustful, and mischievous creature who hides her sadness under a dreamy, teasing, “perma-high” personality.

>>7707109
She’s not human, but I do like this

>>7700144
I didn't think much about it, but i imagine blue is water and poison, red for earth and fire, gold for electric and light, silver is dark and disease
>>7703844
I love the flow in this lot! The expression on the top guy is adorable, his closed off pose complements how worried he looks. Also, I like his claws and spiraled tentacles. I love the stretched wings on the red guy. The scales are meticulously drawn, and I dig the perspective on the wings. This made me smile. Thank you! I did some sketches of your oc. I am not sure what colors to use for him yet, but I hope to finish something later

Anastasia and clarissa doing cosplay of bakuretsu hunters, an old anime i watched some days ago

I'll post a guy.

This is El Stinko Hombre.
He's a Mexican. He fights dirty.
He is dirty. He's a Mexican.

>>7706412
The art was better and many of those people wouldn't have settled for posting in thread labeled Pedophile edition. The community here has degraded as well as the art.

>>7707599
Thanks, bud. And my guy is looking very sleek and graceful in your style. Also he has no canon colours so I'm keen to see what you go with.

>>7705669
do you happen to know which artist did this one btw?

>>7707305
Can you tell me a little bit more about the setting for this character? Need some inspiration for what kind of environment to put her in.

Enter my fighting game inspired OC: HIRAGI JUNKO , the baddest motherfucker in all of Kyoto. Hailing as a graduate from Midori Gakuen, Junko was given the power of controlling dark souls by a mysterious organization at a young age. Hot-tempered and full of angst, Junko entered and won many fighting tournaments in search of the ones who stripped the young woman of her family and childhood.

Because of her soul powers and silver hair, she was given the nickname: "The Ghoul of Kyoto".

>>7709793
she is a bakery owner, a semi-retired magical girl in a near-futuristic backdrop that is recovering from a century long resource war. She setup her shop in a recently reopened bad-land that is a vital commodity route between two cities, but in fact she is using it as a base of operation in order to monitor activities of magic infused mutants that escapes an underground lab in the area.

>>7709928
Wow, that looks fucking sick, I wish I actually knew how to draw. Should I use this updated version of her hammer? I'll try to have something finished this week.
>>7707313
Not quite what I was expecting lol, but interesting. I'll see if I can come up with something for her.

>>7709959
just draw the one you like.

>>7709817
Here’s another—

>>7709989
keep em coming

>>7710004
One more.

>>7699935
The boys are flirting
I really dig your style and the colors you use, and the designs too.
Sorry i messed up some design details lol i realised it like when i almost finish it

>>7709959
Now I’m curious, what did you have in mind for her looking at her design? At first she had more of a loli vibe, like in the older designs, but as I started working on her more ‘unfiltered’ I kept tweaking her to match her new role. I know her look can give off a totally different impression, that’s partly why I shaped her this way. Her latest full-body design (top left) looks a bit more mature, but she’s still petite.
She is also inspired partially in the singer Aurora

>>7695888
OH DAMN i didn't see this one! SHE LOOKS SO GOOD!
She is not a clasist/racist, but looking at this it makes me wanna give her some kind of reocurrent gag like this lmao.
I hope to make some more art of your ocs soon

This girl is a gooner who collects guns. She dreams of finding love, but she's afraid of men. Most of her time is spent gooning alone in her room, wishing she could become a strong, independent woman.

>>7709817
Socks weren't big enough, but I did what I could

Sarta, shes a librarian with a tragic mulatto complex

>>7711252
writing like a true incel to tranny in the making.

Finished with her from last thread
Her name is Tryga
She's the current Right Hand Ma'am of Queen Shayatan and serves basicly as her Secretary and runs the Kingdom in her stead with a few exceptions. She's also the Judge of the Court and deals out the punishments herself no matter how severe. The Species she Belongs to are a rare variant of Werewolfs called Tricans

>>7711564
No i Just Wish to fuck an incel woman with huge breasts

>>7712263
Thanks for the drawing! Honestly, you're better than me at capturing the type of character I had in mind

Her name is Vaski
Just did a little headshot for practice
I have a few full body pieces im working on

>>7711252
That's Maya.

>>7715027
Sorry i don't know her but my character Is extreamy generic like Classic kobeni/hex maniac but this time loves guns

>>7711331
lol

>>7711252
1. Does she have a name?
2. Is there a color palette yet?
3. If I draw, her can I make alts(nudes, no sex) for my Patreon page?

>>7715231
I think you're here for the wrong reasons, sir.
We just like to draw here

>>7715243
Ok : /

>>7715251
Just draw friend

>>7715231
Actually, I just created her for this thread, so I haven’t thought much about her — but feel free to do so whenever you like

>>7707305
Sorry for the wait! I am the slowest artist of all time, and I've never really drawn something like this. I tried a lot of new stuff, some of it worked, some of it didn't. But overall I'm happy with it. Hope you like it! This character is awesome!

And I'm open to critique from anyone who passes by.

>>7715461
Epic

>>7715461
that's amazing... I typically do redraw thread as some sort of warmup or to shake of some rust from stuck in a rut, so I don't feel like its deserving of someone investing so much work into reciprocating, I really appreciate it.

I really like the dynamic angle and pose you put her in, and i think it turned out really well. The weapons and other foreshortening are particularly difficult and I think it worked out well here.

>>7715497
Well, she is a pretty awesome character. And you didn't post an OC for me to draw back in January, but I really liked what you drew for me. I even printed it out and pinned it on my wall. Plus I wanted to push myself more after that guy complained about the threads declining, because most of my fills are really lazy lol.
>The weapons and other foreshortening are particularly difficult
Yeah that was tough, and the way she's holding the gun still doesn't look quite right.

>>7715461
This is nothing compared to all the great artists that used to post here. This is just trying too hard.
The old artists didn't need to try, they just did it good regardless

some fuckers. cant write about them much

>>7715732
I know. But it's gotta be better than not trying at all.

>>7715732
>The old artists didn't need to try, they just did it good regardless
This is single handed the single biggest lost to this general: Effort. Regardless of skill level you could tell most anons were actually trying rather than the " teehee just warming up, here's my low effort doodle for the beg that draws worse than me, enjoy~" shit that now seems to completely plague these threads. Terrible showing all over.

>>7715513
I feel its more important that you had fun with this one.

>>7716291
be the change you want anon.

>>7716291
They don't owe you anything. They left this shithole because of annoying people like you.

>>7711252
sketch

>>7716764
thanks bro

>>7716291
very cool here's your free commission bro:

>>7716291
I was being sarcastic with that comment...
I thought that was obvious. You weren't supposed to take it to heart

>>7716276
It blows the water out of 99% of the things the fag who spammed the old "good" fills.

>>7716424
The gods have turned their gaze from us, repulsed by our impunity. In their silence, we are left to wither beneath the weight of ancestral sin our suffering, a sentence etched by forebears long turned to dust. And now, the young wander blind, burdened by a curse they cannot name, punished for a transgression they never chose.

>>7707305
I hope I did not do her dirty

>>7716291
Really hit a nerve here.

>>7717206
I like it. Its always interesting to see her take on different kind of personality based on the style of the person who draws her.

trying different body types

>>7706214
>>7707313
Couldn't spend as much time on this one, and I wanted to do it without any fancy tricks. Just two different brushes and the normal blending mode. Hope you like it anyway! As always, open to critique/advice.
>>7710622
I just never expected her backstory to involve Chernobyl lol, that's intense. And I didn't think her personality would be so overtly sexual. At first I was sketching out erotic ideas, but landed on something for her melancholic side.

>>7699983
It's a pedophile world, you just live in it

>>7718826
pedophile spotted
thats just you

>>7718817
HOLY SHIT, THIS IS AWESOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH Anon. I really love the melancholic vibe of the drawing, the emotional expression, and even the slight changes you made to her outfit, it’s incredible. Do you have a blog where I can follow you? I’d also love to know if you have an OC I could draw for you.

As for her backstory, your art choice was a good one for this character, my novel is a somewhat serious story, though it doesn’t quite go into NSFW territory. The sexual aspect of the character is more of a gag, but also her way of coping with the overstimulation of her mind caused by her trauma and new body. She’s not a main character, but her arc is that, thanks to her friendship with the protagonists, she starts to enjoy life in a way that’s a little less chaotic and unrestrained.

>>7719017
I'm so glad you like it! My gal is here >>7700511
I have a twitter (@Pebphiz) but I'm not active on it. Do YOU have a blog? Got me curious about this novel now lol.

>>7716291
These are better than anything you posted trying to prove these threads are terrible
>>7718817
>>7715461
It's like you're being mogged, but none of the work you posted was even yours. That's the most hilarious thing I've seen on /ic/ in a while

>>7719036
Thanks I guess, but that's not even close to true. Almost all the examples he posted look good as hell. Though I do think that if he has a problem with the quality of fills he should step in and do some of his own.

>>7709989
Cool design

>>7719036
> two finishes drawings
No offensive but its not really proving him wrong if this is best this thread could offer.

you ever draw something and youre like this is my beak no way im ever drawing something that good again...

>>7707305
>>7709928
>>7709974
Cool design, i liked drawing her.

>>7710141
Adorable! Even the wings are blushing lol. I really like how the knuckles are folded over, they give the impression of eyes. Cute expression on both of them. I especially love the orange dragon's tail, the dents in it makes it feels organic. The butt is very lovely as well. Thank you! I am glad I got to draw your ribbon OC

>>7719035
I ended up making her a little too “Mega Man”-like, but I can’t help it—I love small, brave characters with mecha limbs. Maybe I should go for something cuter instead.

As for my blog, I’m active on X (@vicotherakun). Sometimes I share bits about my characters, comics, and other stuff. My novel isn’t published yet; I’m waiting until I have 20 chapters finished in advance. It’s been in progress for a few years now.

>>7715834
have a shitty fill

>>7723444
my niggas back

>>7719342
cute

New thread when?

>>7714161
What's the black line on her face?
I set a 15 minute timer and when it rang I was listening to the music and I listened to it for 3 minutes because I thought it was part of the song

>>7699935
Your oc's are so peak... especially as dragon variants...
Late ass return that i kinda owed you for years but better late than never! Still your biggest fan so im sorry to annoy you with this again but got a blog yet? :D hehehe

>>7720781
YOOOO LOVE ITTTT i really like it so much, love the color and the posing, and how yo used the twintails to give her a more dinamic posing, looks so rad. tysm :DDD

>>7700511
really cute design, i like drawing braids lol. I kind of made up her personality, hope its not too far aways from her canon attitude

>>7726839
Thank you, I've always wanted praise from a faggot!

whats a fill? newfag here

Vena, She's an alien girl

>>7724753
Thank you, this is nice! The black line is a face seam line. Like she's a robot and her face comes apart

>>7726839
That looks sick, thank you so much! She's actually a total sweetheart, but she can act a bit spunky, as a treat lol.
>>7726889
It's just when you draw someone else's character. If they already drew one for you, you can call your reciprocation a "return."
>>7722985
Thanks again, I love this so much! I really like your take on her mask, boots, and dress.

>>7723444
>>7726796
Wow cute

>>7709695
I ended up trying multiple colors, which was fun to do
>>7725468
OMG can't believe this! He is so cool in your style. I can feel the strength in those muscles, especially the connection of the shoulder and wing. Also, I love the silhouette and how the wings make like a bubble. Thank you! I am flattered! I have multiple blogs now lol, you can check my sketch twitter @sacralmon since it's up to date
>>7726839
Glad you like it! I am very slow these days, but I plan on rendering it someday

>>7728306
Damn, man. This is crazy cool. The ethereal blue skin and the flowers matching the outfits make for a very cool vibe.

>>7728306
Nice. One for every season.

Hmm, so what are some good resources for learning appealing character design? I can't just lean on you fucks for all my sprite designs, but making an appealing and unique design is pretty tricky - is it just a matter of compiling so many references that you just synthesize something awesome?

>>7726839
Forgot to ask, if I do a return do you have a preference for which of your characters I draw?

>>7698981 (OP)
I met a artist in an /beg/ land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of doodles
Stand in the desart.[d] Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose pomperador hair andd stick figure hands, and sneer of cabal command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is ye old fred King of schizos:
Look on my oc doodles, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

>>7728807
Not any in particular, any of the trio i already share its cool for me :D

>>7728306
finally... the elusive blog... real genuine tears in my eyes T__T

Also glad u liked it! the hardest part for me was the legs and i had to go through like, multiple iterations, there was one that was kind of sensual that i felt wouldve been up ur alley but i just couldn't make it work unfortunately :p

>>7711442
ngl this design is too simple to do anything cool with

>>7700511
:p

>>7730035
AHHH SO CUTE! Thank you! Do you have an OC?
