OKAY SO... I'm currently doing a thing where I'm sketching each character I plan to feature when I launch my new OC 'folio site, some which I'll finish digitally. Most of them are already on ko-fi and I'll continue to share there first, but I'll get started with a thread as I go
[01] #OriginalContent #OCs -- First day was Pitch, coincidentally.
I laff though cuz he's like, the literal baby of my OC roster, but I went with it -- and doodled some AU designs while I had the stamina. No idea what his sacred animal is in DEITIES yet though...

[02] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Second day was for Rosco! Managed to get to a few more sketches for him since it fell on a weekend
I'm still amused that the moment his name appeared as a choice, my friends didn't hesitate JLKDSJFDS--

[03] #OriginalContent #OCs — Day 3 was for Charity, who I haven't drawn in /years/ so it works out, she's been due for an art update. Also my first attempts at a few of her other AU designs
[04] #OriginalContent #OCs -- next is Zuro, who's one of the veteran mains of this entire roster. Even though I revamped + gijinka'd this idjit dragon in 2010, he's older than that as a character design hahaaaa
Boa was new at the time though, so I brought her back as well

[05] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Zephyr, one of my newest characters and the designated angel in the roster (his main design, at least).
Fun fact, but can ya'll believe I used to play the violin for 5+ years and it's only this year I've made a violinist OC? Ya.

[06] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Still going, and planning to share the other completed sketches since yesterday, but next is Ricki!
...I seem to go for long periods of time without drawing Ricki as a human (or gijinka in this case), even tho he's one of my mains lmao

[07] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Zelda was next! Hadn't drawn her in ages so it was nice to revisit her gijinka design and AU appearances
For those who have followed me a while, she's also Zuro's mother; his dad will appear eventually, but it's nice that Zelda was featured first

[08] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Valor finally showed up for yesterday's sketches /o/ He's another veteran of my roster, and my designated "main OC of main OCs"
Still, no matter how many times I've drawn him before, I had to relearn the rules of thumb for his hair styles and blades

Picking this back up w/ more sketches from this week
[09] #OriginalContent #OCs -- My ghostie Morgue! Their floating hair is always a challenge since my rule of thumb is that Levitate is applying, even in Morgue's gijinka form. There's no explanation for their demon form tho aha

[10] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Tanja brings this (nearly) a third of the way there — my whip-fighting faction-leading ice queen aha
With a bonus of her Mienshao in PKMN Trainer AU (and from Distortion OCT), and then my first take of her design as a reaper

[11] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Khimore is next, my shy black dog demon who often hides herself behind some form of a scarf
I've forgotten how to draw her living shadow, and have elected to give it a proper attempt another day. It has a fierce attitude, but Khim herself is v. soft

[12] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Mehndi, my easygoing shark girl.
I didn't draw her with her usual tools of the trade here, but in most verses she's a body mod artist. A good share of my OCs have gotten their tattoos and piercings from her.

[13] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Diana is lucky number 13. Another veteran, and my first real attempt at designing a femme fatale type of character
The knife cat meme was not intentional at first, though—

[14] #OriginalContent #OCs -- This one is a two-fer since they pair together in most verses but uhhhhhh my digimon tamer Blake, and his digimon partner Cristatamon
Also a very loose attempt at Cris' mega digivolution, who I've only drawn once before, Matriamon

[15] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Enzi, my zebra-inspired unicorn, who officially brings this challenge to the halfway point
It's... ironic that she's a kelpie in one AU -- since in every other, she's afraid of large bodies of water i.e. drowning — but it works out in context aha;;;

[16-17] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Playing some catch up since I took a break last week, and reduced the amount of sketches per OCs to do so
I did manage two each for Sterling and Sytri tho! Sterling's from Pokemon OCT / gijinka days, and Sytri's a new design I'm still feeling out

[18-21] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Trying to knock out the rest of my team roster during this catch up effort, so I finally got to more Pokemon OCT veterans
Mirabelle (Miltank), Quincy (Quilava), Ray (Lanturn), Lorelai (Alomomola). And it's okay I'll share more about them later--

[22-25] #OriginalContent #OCs -- More from the Pokemon roster, some 'newer' additions to the team
Kudzu (Servine), Cassandra (Delphox), Avalon (Tsareena), and Nigellus (Corviknight). Nigel's a full revamp where I only had 1 main color, and he's still hard to redesign hahasdjfksd

[26-27] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Last couple for the day, I need to draw the rest
Reese is the combo breaker that returns to mythical gijinka for a bit and where I broke out the highlighter. Then back to pokemon with Moxie, tho she belongs to a different team than my veterans

[28-30] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Realization that these next three are all relatives of earlier OCs I drew haha
Kharune is Khimore's twin brother; Tyson is Tanja's cousin; And Dzhokar (who took forever to line & color gdi--) is Zuro's father
At the home stretch, one more to go!

[31] #OriginalContent #OCs -- Saves the last slot for the trainer OC that started it all, T.C.! With cameos from her usual team that I'll draw later;;
10 years later she can finally megaevolve that srs Gallade of hers /it's Valor, he was T.C.'s team ace before he was a pokehuman

And this thread is a wrap! Had to shift the process a bit, but that's all 31 (32, counting the digi partners--) of my initial OCs /o/
You'll see more of these characters once I launch my OC site next month! And you can browse all the sketches on my ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/album/Pencil-Sketches-H2H71W6S3
