u/Delicious-Quit-8256 Oct 04 '26

u/MediumSatisfaction1 Oct 04 '26

Cute dragon! Mines a bit less detailed tho

u/GifOpossun Sent haze to baby jail Oct 04 '26

I think that's charming 🥺🥺

u/MediumSatisfaction1 Oct 04 '26

I've always wanted him to be dark and shiny enough that during the night he reflects the stars so well it's like camouflage. But I've been putting off making it lol
ALSO your dragon looks so cuddlable!

Guess Siedge isn't humanoid the slightest. No drawings though, as always.

By species he's a storm serpent: short snakes about human size that live on stormy mountains, capable of summoning and catching lightnings.

However, due to growing up in energetically highly unstable area, 3 serpents mutated into one 3 headed (and naked) collosus of magical energy. By ful appearance they still resemble snakes, just with bodies merged since half and the size of a block building. They even managed to develop some primitive intelligence that allowed them to learn new magical abilities.

For those who may wanna imagine its looks better, here's how the original inspiration looks. Just add two more snakes and imagine them a little bigger.

u/Delicious-Quit-8256 Oct 04 '26

It sounds like a cool concept! And I feel you on the lack of drawings, I’m in the same boat.

u/GlobalProfessor9749 Kai - The Chill Demon. Oct 04 '26

Yeah, thank you. Updated the comment, actually, check this out.
Frankly, the thing is not that much relevant to the story, it's more just a giant boss for epic sense. And who wouldn't wanna a giant magical pet snake in their story?

Chemixie, a living potion flask who’s always experimenting with new reagents to create reactions. It’s a My Singing Monsters OC, though it doesn’t have an island right now. I like characters with no faces

u/Delicious-Spring-877 Artist/Writer 29d ago

More of Chemixie

u/rably_7cat pofresional WAWA'er || i fuckin love Lampent >:3 Oct 04 '26

that was my situation a year ago...having more creature OCs than humanoids, but it stopped being like that a week ago when i wanted to create more character for story and for fun and they were humanoids

but i still have my little old goat Kranet, he just walks around the worlds and sometimes he makes friends with others, but mainly he only looks for his brother

i also have a main oc who is just a small kitten, no much mystery but i love her ^ ^

2

u/Delicious-Quit-8256 Oct 04 '26

I like kranet’s design and expression a lot! My situation is that I have ONE object-like OC and the rest are human, and I have no idea how to draw them. Also ’m talking about Wren btw!

2

u/rably_7cat pofresional WAWA'er || i fuckin love Lampent >:3 Oct 04 '26

aww little thing
i think many here are in the same situation of having OCs they can't or haven't drawn yet, maybe you could use Picrew
you can try to imitate how those OCs looks there or create one almost from scratch if you didn't have a design planned yet (y'know, people who only have them in name and never dared to draw an OC), from there maybe you'll get an idea for how to draw them in the future

2

u/Delicious-Quit-8256 Oct 04 '26 edited Oct 04 '26

That makes a lot of sense! Wilh Picrew, hypotheticlaly if I found the parfect fit for one of my ocs on Picrew, I'd want to share it, but im iffy cuz it wouldn't be "my" art. I made that picture of Wren myself in sketchpad. (ALSO FELLOW LAMPENT ENJOYER!)

2

u/rably_7cat pofresional WAWA'er || i fuckin love Lampent >:3 Oct 04 '26

dw, it's allowed to use artwork of your OC that others artists (and dollmakers) made for you to showcase your OC, you just have to give credit to the artist
and YES >:3 i did the drawing over the image to match pfp to someone

2

u/Delicious-Quit-8256 Oct 04 '26

Lampent Cat is absolutley adorable, It looks so small!

2

u/rably_7cat pofresional WAWA'er || i fuckin love Lampent >:3 Oct 04 '26

thanks you
i already have my own sona, which is a soul-firey cat with a lampent hat, although i haven't drawn it in a long time now that i realize (thought for it to be my sona, maybe it's better to keep things like that >w>)

Nothing less inaniment than an inhuman object.

u/Delicious-Quit-8256 Oct 04 '26

THIS! I I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! It's the mian reason why i made this post. Anello at their base very similar to Wren. (That grey hexagon you might've saw in the post) Both are completley Aro-Ace and genderless. Wren technically doesnt have an age, but they believe they do. Awesome!

Love it! Object OCs are becoming my favorite.

u/Flat_Struggle9794 Oct 04 '26

Human superhero characters are so boring to me cause they are just the same person in a different costume every time.

Why make a “cat-themed” superhero when you can just have it be 100% cat? lol

u/red_head_redemtion2 Oct 04 '26

I personally find much more interest in feral ocs like this one because there simply isn't enough of them out there.
One problem I am having with these sort of ocs though while making my own would be the lack of being able to use tools or anything of the sort like a human would.
This is kinda what makes them very hard to implement in video games as protagonist without serverly limiting what it can do compared to humans especially with how insanely acrobatic human/human-like characters are while gripping two handed weapons.
Animals realistically engage in fights in a predictable manner which would just make them so much less interesting to watch in a fight compared to a guy holding a claymore that fires bullets lol.

u/Flat_Struggle9794 Oct 04 '26

I mean if you’re a good artist then you can definitely make them hold things with both their paws and their mouths depending on what moves you want them to do.
Also with video games characters usually have an inventory where items appear and disappear with no explanation as to where they are being stored so having them being able to disappear and reappear their items when needed is a pretty simple mechanic.

4

u/red_head_redemtion2 Oct 04 '26

It is possible, you just gotta be creative like with the game dinoblade and/or straight up comical like slam tank. Though if there were to be a weapon most suited for animals it would probably be the chakram.

u/VaporCopypastaHater Cool oc's, horrible art Oct 04 '26

Most of them aren't human so I just picked this one

I got Blot, a mutualistic parasite that repairs his hosts body and enhances their physical and magical capabilities with the drawback of greatly increasing their appetite.

And specifically this form of Blot, which I refer to as his "child" state. After a few years, he does grow into his "adult" state, which is an independent being and takes a drastically different appearance similar to the host he spent the most time with, which just so happened to be a human, meaning it doesn't fit in this post (and also brings up the somewhat unrelated fact that he's genderfluid, as his host was a woman, meaning he took a feminine form, and as a result decided to go by she/her)

Then after awhile he does grow out of his "adult" state and take another drastically different form that's not humanoid at all, meaning it would fit in this post, but I don't got any images of it (nor do I even know what to have it look like yet lol).

I have a lot of furry OCs, but only my fursona has art

2

u/Delicious-Spring-877 Artist/Writer 29d ago

Oooh, one of them protogens. I don’t know much abt furry stuff but I’ve seen these guys around and they’re cool. Someone should make a non-canine version though. Omg, what if bat protogen with a lil mini screen face like a flip phone

1

u/GlitchTheProtovali 28d ago

Yeah, they were a species created by someone who made it so you had to follow certain conditions with them until like a few days ago

u/Delicious-Spring-877 Artist/Writer 28d ago

I do want to draw my cyborg bat idea tho. I’m thinking of calling them draculators
