Oliver ref
by clowns @ Sun May 24, 2020 8:10 am [Reply]

Im trying to experiment with a doodle style for bones/skeletons and i thinks its looking pretty good so far

anyway, this is oliver, goes by olive or ollie. Pronouns are He/Him. He's a mystical canine-like skeleton with the element of plants, mainly vines. He doesn't know how to speak, but can understand some human dialogue. His owner and best friend is Elm (who i will draw a ref for soon). His main features are the vines coming out of his body, and his gloves. He can run very fast and can open portals to other dimensions.

I hardly ever let myself have animal characters but- It's him! A little baby! Thank you so much @rem sleep!

He's such a precious boy!

On another note if anyone can tell me how to get transparent versions of my oekaki that'd be excellent. I keep seeing other artists doing it and I'm so confused.

Thank you @saranwrapped, you are a saint.

    i love them sm thank u arbo (hope u dont mind that i made the colors brighter (´・ω・` '))
    idk what to name them (i was originally gonna call them diablo or mala but im not too sure abt those names. pls suggest some others bc i have no idea-) but theres one thing i have for them bc i've thought abt since theyre a devil but have feathered wings, maybe bc theyre obsessed w/ patchwork they decided to modify their own body by stitching cloth onto their demonic wings to make them look like an angel's, but then they got carried away n sewed leftover fabric that they had onto random parts of their body
    is it edgy and the whole reason i thought that bc i was listening to modify by lemon demon alot ? yes
    am i going w/ that idea anyways ? also yes

little mailman
by That's Offensive @ Fri May 22, 2020 11:39 pm [Reply]

finally doing something with this boy because I think I have the basic story figured out for him ^^ this original design is by Cr0wz and accessories are by me (:

he used to deliver love letters between his owner and her lover because they lived far apart, after a while the townspeople started giving him their mail as well since he was traveling between towns dayly anyways and he enjoyed his job. the butcher would pay him in food, the florist gave him flowers and the tailor made him a coat to keep warm, when his owner finally moved to a different town to be with her lover he didnt follow her because he'd made a home and many friends but he visits them sometimes still. on the road between the two towns he passes by Yeddas house and people from both towns that seek her services send mail with him to take there but those roads get very dark at night, when yedda noticed that he'd sometimes get there pretty late she wanted to give him something to help navigate better and to be seen better, she only had fire based lanterns though so she decided to copy what Dhara did for her pup Lumi and rub some glowing powder in his fur. Doran is a kind and determined young man and is loved by pretty much everyone in and between towns, for most letters he knows where to deliver them based on who sent them, for the rest he gives them to a human mailman to deliver but carries them himself between towns, he's a clever boy.

loucicle @ Fri May 22, 2020 11:44 pm

omg :,) i love him, lil mail man

New character

bees knees
by emblo @ Fri May 22, 2020 4:49 pm [Reply]

    she was cursed by another witch at a gathering because they found out she was slandering their name, so now she can't speak. she's chill with it though, and finds ways around it like summoning little creatures to talk for her.

Panther
by 1lach @ Fri May 22, 2020 7:03 am [Reply]

I need a name so bad

oh boy

So here is Panther, she's an aggressive gal who's job is spying, but her heart desires navigation. It's always seems like an instinct for her to know where she is, and it's what she loves. But it's not what she should love in her fathers eyes. He thinks she should become a spy for the feline kingdom. After all, it's kind of a family business. (I swear her father is a hit man) anyway Panther hates spying but she's incredibly good at it and that makes her father happy. Her father isn't abusive, he didn't make the marks on her face, but he is aggressive. That's where everyone says she got her personality from. Panther is very nasty to strangers, and respects to royal kingdom to a DEGREE. She doesn't let go of blame easily, which she learns to fix later, and it's hard to become friends with her. She's kind of lonely, really. When she adventures with (no longer Kadryn but Tiger kiddo) And Arwin, it makes her feel like she's getting another chance at life, and it's a wonderful feeling. But she hides it, and keeps most things bottled up so that no one can see her vulnerability.

Her hobby is drawing maps and writing, but she never shows anyone. ever.

NAMES OMG
thanks to Summersunset for the compass necklace idea :3

roadkill. @ Fri May 22, 2020 7:04 am

you should name her willow or nova

(Ghost_Raven) @ Fri May 22, 2020 7:06 am

SummerSunset @ Fri May 22, 2020 7:06 am

Aw thanks!

Maybe Nora, Nyx, Nott, Amaya, Phantom, or Ash?

The Wraith
by ajax. @ Fri May 22, 2020 1:30 pm [Reply]

I remember weekends, fighting over everything
And I can almost taste it, the bloody lip you left me with that night
Kiss me one last time
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna show you what it's like
I wanna be the one to show you what you're missing every night
Ooh, every night
It's too bad that you're a liar, a liar
Hold yourself up higher and higher
I'mma find the things you wanna say
I've heard 'em all now and you're fake


    Ichor!

    The red on her is a marking that earned her her name, but this is the Wraith! Another cat oc for my cat group who works alongside Ripley >:3

Dawn Breeze based on this drawing by kuromi !!
by kuromi !! @ Fri May 22, 2020 12:37 pm [Reply]

    et voila !~
    this was really ??? hard to do ??? like i had a palette but making it actually fit w her coat was hell but i did it and i feel proud [sob]

    but yes i hope you like i have 0 brain cells and motivation to write up anything atm so [point left][point left]


    this character, dawn breeze, i do claim mine so please don't claim this design, nor character, as your own
    she is NOT twilight sparkle, she's only a character in my au who takes her place.

Soll @ Fri May 22, 2020 1:15 pm

bABEY

    yes hi so every pony will have their "official" (show-based) and "alt" (my interpretation/re-design) design :3c
    i might change the cutie mark a bit
    this is Twilight, or in my re-design; Dawn Breeze ! i'll be making the alt ref for Dawn in a bit ~

    so this twilight is still a nerdy lil bookworm but instead of her being so consumed in books in her early stage, she was always both mixed in her books and friends. she didn't hatch spike, in fact she found him abandoned while looking for the Castle of the Two Sisters

    a bisexual baby queen ty

    i swear i have more development i just have no idea how to write it bc head empty no thoughts rn [pensive]
    also i'm not claiming the character mine, no, not the official twilight but im claiming this re-interpritation/re-design as my own so preferably i would ask you dont make art using this re-design

Johto @ Fri May 22, 2020 7:45 am

"bisexual baby queen" Say it louder for the people in the back


This is..... so pretty and I love it. I really want an MLP series with designs as beautiful as this.

The Boss
by ajax. @ Fri May 22, 2020 9:17 am [Reply]

I woke up I was stuck in a dream
You were there you were tearing up everything
We all know how to fake it baby
We all know what we've done
We must be killers children of the wild ones
Killers, where we've got left to run
Killer, killer, killer, killer
Killer, killer, killer, killer
Set my body free
The Silver tigers in the moonlight running
And the wind in the trees singing do you believe?


Aj? A new cat oc? more likely than you think

Wow, i said I would keep it relatively realistic, lmao nope
This is Ripley! The Boss of a new cat group I'm playing around with, he's no-nonsense that's for sure :3

SurgeFire @ Fri May 22, 2020 9:22 am
