OC art!

Little info about them- left to right, top to bottom

Sprinkle: He's a demiromantic/sexual demon based off of Lucifer from the Netflix show Lucifer. He's got little multicolored squares all over his body, hence the name lol

Gray: They're an aroace demiboy currently dating Sprinkle and I absolutely love his design. He's designed to live kind of in the Sunlight Zone of the ocean but can come ashore for a bit. Gray body, but blue underbelly and membranes, with rainbow patterns on their wings and stripes lining the tail.

Fish: She and Eve are together as lesbians and adopted Nighttide when they were young. Light purple scales, with gills along her neck and light blue wings with swirls

Eve: The more chaotic one of the relationship. Cooks up all sorts of shenanigans with Nighttide and is the tallest of the group. She's a very Christmas-themed dragon, with her colors being just red, green, and white. Absolutely gorgeous

Sephyr: Aroace demigirl who likes Nighttide. Their relationship is complex and I need to dive in a little more, but her sister is Sherlock. Sephyr has spots all over their body and wings and she really likes hanging out in forests

Nighttide: Nonbinary ace- my first permanent OC. Got a lot of me in them and I love their design. They really like reading and drawing, and are friends with just about everyone in this artwork; it's kind of a 'their world' drawing.

Violet: Blind lesbian and is dating Rosa, who is not featured in this artwork. She looks grumpy, but is incredibly loyal to a fault. One of Nighttide's favorite people; she's pretty awesome.

Sherlock: Demiromantic/ace and with Sandstorm. She's pretty shy but gets louder the more she's comfortable with someone. She's Sephyr's sister and enjoys reading and talking about what she's reading.

Sandstorm: Nonbinary pansexual and absolutely in love with Sherlock. Also enjoys reading, but loves listening to Sherlock's narrations more. I also love their design mostly because of their frill/mane/whatever you want to call it. I love how the colors came out and the design of the membrane itself.

Pico: Gae. He's also a little younger than the others so he gets treated like the younger brother most of the time, but hems fine with it. Wears socks sometimes; I have a drawing of his first time with socks if anyone wants to see it. He's Violet's actual younger brother and he loves her so much.

This ended up being way longer than I thought it would be, so if's totally fine if you didn't read all of it. Thought I would share it because I keep glancing at it and thinking, 'nope, I didn't draw that, an artist took possession of my body and made it' which is usually a good thing :D

And yes, I do enjoy Wings of Fire :)

I drew a guy :)

I was rewatching Jazz Vampires and I wanted to draw the gay vamp. I've named him Rouseaux courtesy of u/WhatsYourConcern8076 because of a fanfic I was writing and just stuck with it. I draw primarily dragons, so most of the time I make dragon versions of people (weird, I know, but I don't like my humans style).

More Pete!

Sorry I'm late; it's been a crazy week. This time I added some gloves. They're definitely not my best work, but I'll probably add on to them at some point.

They're not actually made out of felt this time; I cut up an old shirt that I'd outgrown and made these. I glued some layers together to get it to fit around his hand, then fit them on with a black rubber band. Again, definitely not my best work, and very sloppy, but I had about two hours to work with out of this past week. As always, suggestions are always welcome!

TL;DR: Made some gloves for Pete out of a t-shirt and glued it together.

Pete's boots are done!

You guys, I put these off for so long cause I didn't know how I would go about with it. They were probably the hardest part so far just because of all the little things you have to do to make a shoe. Nevertheless, I had fun with them!

For those who want the actual creation process, I started off with figuring out how high up I actually wanted the boots to go. Once I'd gotten that down, I cut out pieces of felt and sewed them together (yay, more sewing by hand) to make the boot leg (I think that's what they're called). I then traced his foot out on a piece of thin cardboard for some structure. I grabbed two squares of felt about 2"x2" and cut a hole in both about a centimeter and a half away from the edge.

Guys, make sure you know that you can always take off more. I had cut them down a little but cut off too much on the left foot and had to switch up the design a little. Added a piece of felt per foot on the toe and glued it on. Then, I put the cardboard outline on the sole of the feet and glued the felt onto the cardboard. I wanted to make sure that the boots could come off so I didn't glue anything to the actual body. finished it off with a piece of felt on the bottom.

TL;DR: I put this part off for a while cause I thought it would be too hard but had fun making it, even if it's not the prettiest thing ever

Porcelain Pete's hat!

Same process as Carlos's hat; I made a thin cardboard structure and then layered two pieces of felt to give it a bit of depth.

Side note: for anyone trying to mimic this, I usually stretch the felt a good bit so it can bend over the cardboard's frame. Gives it a bit of curve to work better and then I fold it over the edge and glue it down. If you're as bad with glue as I am, you will get an absurd amount all over your fingers lol

Missed references

My family and I were eating breakfast together and my brother got a new meal (we were in a restaurant). My dad goes,

"How does it taste?"

So. Obviously I had to make a reference. I pulled out a D20 that I had in my bag (I use them for inspo for drawing) and rolled for it.

Nat 20. First try.

Anyways, so I half-yelled, "Nat 20 beans!" and they didn't get it. Alas. And I'm pretty sure that I showed them The Plagueround so. References.

TL;DR: Mad a Nat 20 reference and my family didn't get it.

More progress on Pete!

Posting early, but I'll explain later in the desc.
For the collar, I used an iron to kind of keep it in the shape and then just sewed the arms on lol.

I'm going to Maine this coming week with my family which will be fun, but that does mean that I can't work on it. I'll do as much as I can today and tomorrow and then give y'all that next weekend. Probably will be small, though, because I have to pack and work on a fanfic that I really don't want to burn out for lol.

As always, suggestions are welcome!

TL; DR: I'm going on vacation so can't work on Pete much.

What do y'all think is the French vampire's name?

I'm making a fanfic for Jazz Vampires, but I the French vampire's name is never mentioned. I was thinking maybe something like Guiscard (Old Norse wise and Old French hard, firm, brave, hardy) but want to reach a general consensus.

Got a mannequin for Pete!

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit, but I finally went to the store to get a mannequin! Planning on painting it white and then overlaying with paint pen for patterns. As always, I'll take any suggestions!

Possible arkanoid build

I was rewatching Where Did the Moon Go? and figured it'd be fun to think about how the arkanoids could have looked. Build based off of a combo of a tardigrade, armadillo, meerkat and a bit of an insect and ram.

They describe humans to have 'soft, carbon-based bodies' so they're boron-based and have hard plating all over their bodies. I personally headcanon that they might be able to survive out in space so the wings are capable of tossing material out so they can move around. Tardigrades are amazingly resilient so...tardigrade. Mostly chose a meerkat for the basic body structure so they would be bipedal and it would make sense that Tom kept slouching. Ram horns because I like adding horns to aliens, though they came out a little weird.

TL;DR: made an arkanoid from smashed up animal qualities bc I was bored.

More accessories for Carlos!

Vial is made from legos and new hat is from a thin piece of cardboard with felt stretched over, colored with paint pens. Sorry I haven't updated in a while, been busy with homework and sports. What should I make next? Trying to save up for one of those wooden craft figures for Pete

u/Nighttide_the_dragon — 2 months ago

Details are a little foggy, but I was drawing in a little alcove of some sort and SFTH was performing. There weren't a ton of people there (for some reason although maybe that's what my brain knew I would prefer). The room was dark, as it is, and Tom approached me to ask what I was drawing. We talked for a little while and then I went to go sit down in the first row with him. I then watched Sam perform and then Luke and AJ ran up on stage from somewhere...and then I woke up :( Sorry, just wanted to rant about a cool dream I had.
