Help me beat burnout, drop your OCs here

[Leyelle]

My brain has been feeling too worn out to be motivated but I still have a ton of work to do. So if you would, drop descriptions or reference images of your OCs here and I might draw them if they inspire me. Alternatively, I'm up for an art trade. Either way, I need to motivate myself to draw and actually complete pictures rather than giving in to burnout.

Reference images of my art: (I've got a couple different art styles)

Not exactly my OC (made together with a friend but said friend doesn’t mind), but you can draw Mina here

I still have to dig up all the decent pics of everyone else

Since I drew a decent full body pic of him recently, Victor!

Have a Frankie, the Sonic/Soul Eater looking rip off from Free Falling. His favorite things are killing and Mario Party (he takes medication for the first one).

I'm willing to art trade again if you'd like.

[beebutterbee]

I’d be up for a little art trade! Do you have any guy characters I can draw? I wanna practice more. I have Emilio if you wanna draw him! He’s a bodega clerk turned hobby detective.

[Leyelle]

oh what ethnicity is he? we have a lot of bodegas in my country, but we call them "colmados"

as for my guy ocs Christopher George or his dad would be good:

(the post apocalyptic au is just for reference of his height and build. not a canon outfit, and the hair is better in the first pick imo. So just for reference he's 6'1 and fairly toned.)

and his father the mischeivous faun

I don't have a reference picture for Verner's build, but it's honestly basically the same as his son's

[beebutterbee]

Ah! I never heard the word colmados! Well, you learn something new every day . I think I’ll give Christopher a shot! I’m just going to do a looser sketch and Emilio is Chicano/Mexican American

[beebutterbee]

@Leyelle Kay this was way more challenging than I thought it would be I don’t usually draw guys but to draw a guy with soft features and still make him look like a dude was tricky for me, I hope you still like it. I think he’s sort of giving protagonist to a 2000s YA movie but maybe that’s the vibe honestly seeing that the story goes dystopian? The hair was fun to draw tho ngl

[Leyelle]

Cute! Can I share this pic and tag you? Tbh, the story kind of gives late 2000s to mid 2010s vibes. But I think you drew him well! He's very soft by nature, but his features are supposed to look Prince-like and I think you captured it. Now if you want to see someone who struggles to draw guys wait until you see my picture TT. I also like the kind of uncomfortable expression you drew on him because he rarely looks people in the eye, when he does it's really tricky for him and usually only lasts a second

[beebutterbee]

@ArtGremlin This isn’t for an art trade or anything I just really wanted to draw this little guy He’s trying not to spontaneously combust, probably from some rude and infuriating customers at walmarket or shopmart… oh no what was the store called

[beebutterbee]

@Leyelle Yes feel free to tag me And yeah Christopher seemed a little nervous or on edge in your drawings so tried to mimic the expression. I’m glad I got his likeness tho lol! Also I’m curious how your drawing is going! No rush of course

[Leyelle]

I was finishing the one I was making of Mina first. So I'll give you an update on Emilio in about half an hour XD

[Leyelle]

@applebun here is Mina! I hope you don't mind I did a modern au. I tried something funky with the art style and it's giving noir vibes

[BellaTheCow]

Hi just wanted to let you know that I have posted your fanart of Ducky in a special fanart episode for TFF. The link will be here. Thanks again!

[Leyelle]

@beebutterbee prpgress update. That stool and table will probably stay the sketchy mess they are I ain't got the energy to deal with em lol. All that's left is his hair and face which is arguably the most important part lol

[ArtGremlin]

GAHHH I LOVE IT <33 You got it right! He works at Walmarket (Definitely not walmart or anything)

[skidiggy]

I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with burnout.
Wishing you a quick rebound and lots of inspiration.

If you're looking for OCs, perhaps one of the brothers from "Of Lowlifes, Lutes, & Liars" might bring some festivity to your day. Submitted for your consideration: Aranthus and Pavocinis.

[Cheekybee07]

I have a kooky character that's part crazy side of me and part of all the fun things I love about characters I've read or people I've met:
