7. You must do the journal entry

1.     What’s your favorite mythological story?

I've read a lot of mythology, so it's a bit hard to choose. I guess if I did, there is a Chinese story about An old man and a Lord. The story is very very long, but long story short the old man turns out to be a fox spirit, the lord decides to preemptively kill the fox and all his family members 

    2.     What art/creative project are you working on right now?
Right now I just draw Dnd characters, now that I finally found a group  that I'm not DMing for it's great. Got invited to a second game run by one of the members. I've gotten to put together characters for mini games that run while life gets in the players joining and everything. Gets those concepts out of my system.

I would love to get back to my comics Bound By Blood, and Of Shades and Sorrows, but they take so long to make a page, I'll work on them in my spare time, but it takes quite a while and well I actually get way more feedback on my character drawings.

    3.     Who is the favorite character you ever made and why?

Antony has to be cause I've been drawing him for years, and he's like the only character I haven't just kinda moved on from. Though Bridgette is a close second, not for any particular reason, just her body type is fun to draw, and there aren't as many characters with that kind of body type out there anyways.

    4.     What Gelfling clan from the Dark Crystal do you most identify with?
I'll be honest I haven't seen the show, I remember there being a movie when I was young, but I don't really remember much aside from creepy vulture people designs

    5.     How relatable are the motives of the villain in one of the stories you made? (If you don’t have a villain OC, talk about a villain from a form of media you like.)

I don't think they're super relatable, hopefully at least in Bound By Blood, I haven't really introduced them yet, but though I didn't want them to be too cartoony evil, I didn't design them to be really sympathetic.

As for Of Shades and Sorrows, most of what I plan for villains are more of a force than people.

    6.     Please share the latest work you made, which you’re really proud of, and explain why.

 I would post the latest character drawing I did, but honestly I rarely do a drawing with any kind of scenario or background. So I'm proud of actually doing this one.

    7.     If you could travel to time/place in human history what would you like to see?

I mean I'm pretty grateful to live in this time period understanding how dangerous other periods actually were, but if I were completely safe, Ancient Rome would be amazing to see in person. Greece would be amazing too, but Roman Architecture at it's prime, would be the coolest thing ever.

    8.     If you had wings, what would they be like?

Probably unused, cause I'm not really a brave person and I would constantly be too scared of what could go wrong. I don't really have a phobia of heights, but a healthy respect for the danger falling has.
You can probably ascertain I am not a really adventurous person.

    9.     What’s your favorite song right now?

"Drive By" by Train is usually my favorite, Though "Shut Up and Dance With Me" by Walk the Moon takes second place cause I had a couple dumb character ideas while listening to it.

    10.  What time of day do you usually draw?

I don't really have a set time, it is much later now that I have a job that has me work nights

    11. What movie/show do you like to watch as a guilty pleasure?

I don't really watch much that I'm ashamed of watching, but apparently I'm not supposed to like the new She-Ra. Dunno I watched the first season when it came out and need to find time to go back and watch the others. I'm not really ashamed of it, but there was a group that made me feel incredibly awkward due to comments they made while assuming a lot about me because I watched the show.

    12. Take one of your hero/good OCs, and describe what they would be like if they were evil/a bad guy.

Antony if he was evil would actually be a force to be reckoned with. Blood magic is actually incredibly exploitative, and he doesn't have to use his own.
To be evil he'd have to have a complete personality shift, one to be confident, vindictive, and angry.
In other words he'd be completely unrecognizable, though I have put some thought into it

Whelp I'm having car trouble and have been for a while, it looks like it'll be expensive. For now I'm borrowing a car, but I thought now might be a good time to push the commisions I'm offering again.

I'm not really adamant on the prices, since I'm new to commissions, so prices are negotiable, but I would appreciate anyone interested.

I got tagged by

1. Your first OC ever?
Back in High School I had a character named Nathan, I've considered redesigning him to see if there is anything salvageable in his design.

2. Do you have a personal favorite among your OCs?
I guess that would have to be Antony, why else is he the only one whose getting his story drawn right now.

3. Have you ever adopted a character or gotten a character from someone else?
Not really I enjoy coming up with my own, and I think of more than I actually draw.

4. A character you rarely talk about?
Too many, I just like thinking of stories and don't have enough time to get too them all.

5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?
Right now probably Antony, but it would most likely change over time, cause I have weird excitement "phases" where I get really obsessed over certain topics but I move on eventually and find another obsession.

6. Two OCs of yours that look alike despite not being related?
I don't think I got any of those, good idea though.

7. Are your OCs part of any story or stories?
Yeah I usually think about the story before the character's design.

8. Do you RP as any of your OCs? If you do, introduce one of your RP OCs here!
Not really, I'm not against it but I'm kind of a wallflower with groups so I usually get ignored. I was part of RP groups on my old account from High School and might revive those characters at some point.

9. Would you ever be willing to give any of your OCs to someone else?
I don't think so. I'm open to the idea, but I kinda get attached to my OC's and their stories so I'm not sure how I'd feel about someone else writing for them.

10. Introduce an OC with a complicated design.
Hmmm, I tend to steer away from characters too complicated to easily draw repeatedly. I do make monsters a bit more complicated cause it seems to help the creep factor. So my Home Grown Terror monster and ideas I haven't posted yet have more complicated designs.

11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a “sunshine”?
Not really, I haven't really made any really peppy optimistic characters. I guess I just don't find characters with that kind of personality types easy to write. Maybe I'll try though, it could be interesting.

12. Name an OC that isn’t yours but who you like a lot:
That's a bit tough I do really like other people's OC's and art of them, but I haven't really thought about people's oc's like that. My first instice ones would be 's Nico or 's Autunm since I remember them from all the way back from when I was on my last account. Could just be nostalgia but I'll stick with them since they're great enough I remembered them years later.

13. Do you have any troublemaker OCs?
The boy from my pair of Puca's, supposed to be hard headed and butts heads with people over any and every issue, I just haven't given him a real name yet.

14. Introduce an OC with a tragic backstory:
I'll put Antony here, most of my characters have some tragedy in their history, but how difficult Antony's life has been is core to his character.

15. Do you like to talk about your OCs with other people?
I will talk forever about my characters given a chance, at least if I think your listening.

16. Which one of your OCs would be the best at biology (school subject)?
Silnua, she's from a futuristic alien society and remains a biological teenager for really long time. So more time to study, and science has advanced further than the real world. Really it's an unfair advantage.

17. Any OC OTPs?
For my characters? I guess, I mean since it's included in their stories as I've written them I'm not sure if it's shipping, but I do plan on some characters getting together in my stories.

18 - 25 did not appear in the version I was tagged with.

26. Have you ever had to change your OC’s design or something else about them against your will?
I don't think I'd do that, it feels too much like selling out. They could change based on suggestions if you convince me they are a good idea, but I'm not changing anything just to get someone to leave me alone.

27. Any OCs that were inspired by a certain song?
Funny enough the Imp I draw every so often "Caestrix the clever" and the angel that appears with him are inspired by "Walk the Moon's" "Shut up and dance with me"

28. Your most dangerous OC?
Most deadly I haven't posted a picture of them yet, but one of the upcoming villains that will appear in my comic. For not until I get them posted Antony, nice guy but his destructive capabilities if he chose to use them are actually scary.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going?
Bridgette, I'm still getting her story sorted and want to start on her comic before finishing Antony's, but this is literally part of how her story starts.

30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection?
None that I've posted (well most likely would be Silnua) but a character I used in a D&D game did have a stuffed animal connection.

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)
Silnua would just endlessly talk about modern events and get endlessly frustrated and focus way too much on people not believing she's actually her.

32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why?
Bridgette, she'd use meta knowledge from all the ones she's played to get ahead. Plus her story is a ghost story so she'll have experience at that point.

33. Your shyest OC?
Antony, he is actually afraid of being the center of attention.

34. Do you have any twin characters?
None with any real development

35. Any sibling characters?
Yes, the pucas are siblings, and I have more planned.

36. Do you have OC pairs where the other part belongs to someone else (siblings, lovers, friends etc)?
No, I haven't worked that closely with other writers

37. Introduce an OC who is not quite human:
Silnua is an alien mutant, whose worshiped as a deity for her mutant abilities. Kaitlin is from a race created as living weapons for humanities war against goblins. Both of the Pucas are creatures from Celtic mythology, Nyx which is what I'm naming my ghost character, is of course a ghost. and those are just those I've had time to post.

38. Which one of your OCs would be the best dancer? 
Silnua, forms of dance are often of great cultural importance and she had to learn to be ready to succeed her mother.

39. Introduce any character you want:
Bridgette " Umm, Hi not sure what this is. Is there anything special I'm supposed to HOLY-! That's not funny Nyx! Sorry ghost came out of the table."

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!
Antony was not only designed originally as a D&D character, but the first one I wrote up for myself.

41. Has anyone drawn fanart of your OCs? If yes, maybe show a picture or two here (remember :
A surprising amount Here's some of Antony and here's some of Silnua

42. Which one of your OCs would be the most interested in Greek gods? 
Silnua, cause of her cultural role.

43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favor some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess.
I do tend to favor the nervous, but I don't try and bind myself to it.

44. Something you like about your OCs in general:
I dunno, I enjoy thinking about and writing stories for them.

45. A character you no longer use?
Some just cause I don't have time to draw them all, but I do want to draw everything for all of them eventually.

46. Has anyone ever told you that you treat your OCs badly?
Nope, but I fully confess with the damage both physically and psychologically I'm mean to Antony.

47. Has anyone ever (friendly) claimed any of your OCs as their child?
No, I didn't know that was a thing.

48. OC who is a perfect cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure...
I don't got any like that.

49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes?
Bridgette.

50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you want:
I usually write fantasy stories, but something I really like to remember about characters no matter the genre is that they are as much defined by their flaws as their strengths.

Anyone else want to do this, if so consider yourself tagged.

I remember a while back people were really interested when I mentioned that my family has horses.
Well my sister not only has horses, but an interest in photography as well.
She decided to make a page on deviantart as well.
Her page is and she plans to post pictures of her horses.
So if you like horse pictures there's her page for you to check out.
