Mel Bayside in the air holding a giant heart in one hand while giving the peace sign with the other hand. The giant heart reads "VALENTINE'S Day" with the word "Happy" right above it. Mel on left is wearing a multi-layer dress top with a denim skirt (that she borrowed from Inez) and flip-flops. Poosh is on bottom right leaping in the air and exclaims a loud "Breee!" in an exciting and loving way. Stars and hearts are scattered throughout the picture.

A quick Valentine's doodle with Mel & Poosh (before I head out to dinner with the Mrs.).

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all! 💖❤️‍🔥💖😘

Mel Bayside in negative space with ripples of blue bars on the left and right of the image. Mel's expression is of indifference, more likely dissociating from her current environment. A couple arrows point to Mel's features such as messy hair, her mind being foggy, her shoulders and feet exposed etc.. Mel is wearing a shoulder-less top with a heart graphic & drawstring shorts. The text "TOTAL" & "DISSOCIATION" appear at the top and bottom portions of the image.

The past coupe days have been extra rough. Needed to draw my feelings out there. 😞 ☁️ 😶‍🌫️

Hey-o! Here's Mel Bayside floating about during the daytime, commissioned & drawn by my good bud @onlyboney.bsky.social as a companion piece to the "floating Inez" pics from 2024. Enjoy the view & happy new year! 💫🐦🍊

What flavor is your OC?

So red, orange & yellow (sometimes green). Very sweet and citrusy. 🍓🍊

Mel Bayside sans glasses looking off to the side, minding her own business.

Mel then looks & notices you (the viewer).

Mel says "What?" with a perturbed look on her face.

"My glasses are charging!", Mel explains while raising her hand. Even though Mel is presented without her noted glasses, there’s text on the bottom right pointing out "YES, THAT IS MEL."

Mel’s always shown wearing her "DigiSpec" glasses. But I’ve also had an idea where Mel’s eyes were non-sclera and maroon-colored! 👀

So I went and made a little 4-panel of it. 😂

Mel Bayside with a tired/exhausted expression, looking at the viewer and saying "It’s late, amigo. Go to bed." Mel is wearing a simple t-shirt with a small heart graphic. Mel’s hair is in a ponytail.

A little Mel doodle before bed. 🛌 😴

Mel Reyes-Bayside yelling at somebody off-screen for presumably breaking a screen off a computer monitor. The text reads "You just ruined a perfectly fine IPS panel! A 4K one at that! The hell’s wrong with you?! Are you stupid?" Mel is wearing a "Cajas Cyclones" team jersey with her midriff exposed.

I like to get back to drawing one of these days. That’d be nice. 😊

Good friend @datgeekboy.bsky.social approached me with his take on my pose practice pics with Mel & Inez! A pleasant surprise for sure. 🥰

Cheers Geek! Many thanks for drawing them! 💫

Mel and Phoebe parodying the album cover to Andre Cymoné’s "Living In The New Age". Mel is front and center looking directly at the viewer. She’s wearing a black t-shirt with white accents on the collar & sleeves. Mel is holding her hands up while a beam of light and stars shine in-between her hands. Phoebe is on the bottom right corner licking herself. Background is an array of geometric shapes and grid patterns.

The cover art to Andre Cymoné’s 1982 album "Living In The New Age" for comparison.

Mel & Phoebe are living in the new age! Well Mel’s living it up. Phoebe’s doing her own thing 😂

Drawn by @onlyboney.bsky.social , we have Mel & Phoebe parodying the cover to "Livin’ In The New Age" by Andre Cymoné! Enjoy! 😉

Mel Bayside nervously saying "I’ll make it work!"

19. "What's your oc's biggest goal? Will they be able to achieve it?"

Besides Mel’s hobbies & running her comics shop, her biggest goal is to be a worthy successor as the island’s guardian after her mom & her aunt.

It’ll take time but she’ll be able to do it!

Mel says "Hey guys!". Two people on the bottom right corner pointing at Mel Bayside, but mistakes her for the character Pepper Ann from the Disney show of the same name. Mel exclaims that she's "not what I'm called".

It's her!

Melissa Bayside down on one knee with her pet cat Phoebe by her side. Mel is wearing a track jacket, shorts, leggings and sandals. Mel is also wearing a friendship bracelet around her ankle. Mel’s hair is in a ponytail.

Inez de Tomas sitting with her pet tribble Poosh in-between her legs & feet. Inez is wearing a beanie, gold earrings, a track jacket with her family crest on it, a denim skirt, spats and flip-flops. Inez is also wearing a friendship bracelet around her ankle.

I like girls in track jackets, skirts (sometimes shorts) and sandals. That’s like the winning combo for me tbh

Can’t help it lol 😂

Lastly we have Mel in more home clothes. A simple black tee with baggy pants!

I like to think Mel wears this and her "Service Games" fit days where she has time off work & wants to solder mod chips to her old retro consoles. 🎮

For home clothes we have Mel in a "Service Games" shirt with ripped cargo pants!

This is a callback to when I drew Mel with said shirt eons ago. Available in black and blue variants! Also peep the ear accessory. 😉 🪐

Wanted Ringumu to get a good look & feel for Mel’s newer design. ⭐️

We also had Mel drawn in her weekend & swim/beachwear outfits! Outfits are carryovers from when @onlyboney.bsky.social drew Mel in these fits. 🏖️

The arms & hands were the sore spot imo. Felt like I could’ve improve on that aspect. But I think it turned out ok. 😅

#OC #OCart #MelBayside #MyArt #Blurb

Despite the roughness of the sketch, this was a fun exercise! 😊

I remember that CSP had 3D models integrated. So I added the model offset to blank space and used it as reference to show how Mel would look at an isometric angle. 📐

#OC #OCart #MelBayside #MyArt #Blurb

I present a (very crude) rough sketch of my OC Mel! 💫

This was mostly for me to practice perspective and angles. It ain't Van Gogh, but it's something. 🤷
