Boho and fishnets? that's interesting, didn't you say your fashion was sort of boho inspired?

And girl, I can't even remember half my character's facial features without reference rn lol.

As for looking amish, probably not, but some things just print themselves on our brains whether or not. Alicia lives in Baltimore, and Maryland is pretty close to PA where there are TONS of amish and mennonites, so I grew up seeing them a lot, especially because my parents bought from their farms, and so my memory makes it's way into Alicia's lol.

Tbh, i don't know much about 70s fashion besides big afros. But I always middle part my own hair because I have to separate it into sections to braid/twist it.

Yeah I think I do dress sort of boho, not what people would typically think though I sort of have my own style. But I think fishnets are pretty 60s/70s, I wear patterned fishnets like the girl with the purple fishnets! Except mine are black.


This is 60s btw!

We also have some mennonites around our town, but I mostly just notice the bonnets than a middle part, but I guess our brains latch onto different visual cues? But middle part can look very old fashioned :sweat_smile: I have to style mine just right to not look elderly haha šŸ¤£ but also I have giant curly hair so I think it looks very different from the Amish ladies? At least Iā€™d hope šŸ„² ah wellā€¦

I love 70s fashion! Afros were popular but so was really tight braids for textured hair, but Iā€™ve also scene some other really cool hairstyle for natural and kinky hair from the era or at least in fashion scenes in my country. But the 70s is a big inspo for my characterā€™s clothes and hairstyles.

I might have to research more 70s fashion at some point, rn. The purple fishnets are definitely a lot different from what I usually imagine but I think they could look cool in a fit. Rn, I don't think many specific eras inspire my ocs clothes as much as specific fashion statements which I often mix. Boho x pioneer girl, tomboy x boho x almost emo witch (though the character isn't a witch), athleisure x emo etc. Tho one of my recent characters (crusty mom) was a teen in the sixties so I'm researching that, tho her style was old fashioned back then (pioneer girl), I also need to research 70s bathing suits for one of my mermaids lol

To start off Spooky/Magic month/Samhain month hereā€™s @ArtGremlin ā€˜s OC Xivian dressed as Ernest and Ernest dressed up as Xivian

Omg a wild Houdini makes an appearance!! He was bound to show up xD

Iā€™ve been working on this today

@Leyelle I made one of my characters wear Aliciaā€™s iconic turtleneck sweater dress! Except he isnā€™t as cute as Alicia. Actually he could never be cute lmao I drew Knight Geoffrey wearing the outfit but mainly because I think he sort of looks like a weird looking old woman :joy:

Hereā€™s his normal civilian clothes if any one wants to give his outfit a try:

Iā€™m going to do more of these this week but probably only one a day because Iā€™m slow :sob: but itā€™s such a fun idea @llobucervallince thanks for starting this. And October is almost here!!

Here is Roy as Houdini and Elsie as Bess!

Houdini is Sherlock Holmes. He was a huge fan.

LOL YES I am a big fan of puns, Butter Bee is filled with characters with themed names xD although Knight Geoffrey doesn't have a very interesting name, I guess he's just disappointing like that :pensive: Also is Roy crushing on Houdini Holmes a bit?? What's that look in his eyes? :joy:

Roy is bi but he doesnā€™t know it.

Yes. He has a thing for Harry. I mean who wouldnā€™t? I know I doā€¦

Itā€™s obvious :flushed:

Even though I havenā€™t posted this fanfiction anywhere on the internetā€¦ Iā€™m thinking about deleting itā€¦ but yetā€¦ I must finish it

Oh trust me, we ALL know your Houdini obsession lollll. I guess Roy fell for his charm as well :joy:

Chief Wellington ... that's ... that's... AMAZING :joy: :joy: I love it!

Theo came along dressed as Dr. John Watson

Unfortunately Bess wasnā€™t feeling well so she couldnā€™t come

Itā€™s the one thing he canā€™t escape from

Besides jury duty he canā€™t escape from that either

Or laundry šŸ¤£

@abigaillmartin I had to draw Miss Butter as Houdini as her Halloween costume!! I feel like she only knows really bad card tricks though so hardly the master escape artist :joy: I was also trying out some new brushes and messing with the color jitter and spacing for the lineart instead of going to bed :sparkles::nail_care:

I might do some more in this sketchy style because it was really low pressure and fun to do!

oof, now I see the weird looking old woman thing. Why'd you do that to my brain?

don't burn yourself out sis!

Houdini: takes the deck of cards and shows off his card skills

Houdini: he then lifts needles with his fluttering eyelashes

Yes. He did that. Iā€™m not joking! He could lift needles with his eyelashes.

He could also keep keys in his throat.

@Leyelle Every time I draw Geoffrey heā€™s so weird looking that I freak out and think I canā€™t draw but then I realize his character design is just super ugly :sob:

@abigaillmartin Also, needles on his eyelashes?! Nooo that scares me :joy: I hate needles, that sounds like nightmare fuel lowkeyā€¦

Donā€™t worry he was a trained professional and was very careful.

Did I mention he could do this?

I love you you madman. :flushed::heart:ļø

Oh my god Iā€™m horrified :sob::sob::sob: I have a phobia of needles, it is a talent but it for sure scares me :joy:

Mew mew mew mew mew

Mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo

Me: Itā€™s okay Goobus. You keep on doing what youā€™re doing. Summon those cats.

oof, a face even his creator can't love
