Digital sketch sheet serving as a reference for Carmine's OC, Lucita Santo Domingo. Lucita is a Latina woman with various scars, and she wears either a dark grey pencil skirt or slacks with suspenders over a rumpled men's button-up in three of the four sketches, and a nicely tailored suit in the last. Other sketches detail her sword cane, etched with an upside down cross, and the scars on her right hand.

Anyways, Lucita appreciation post. Women in suits, am I right? 🖤

#CarmineArt #SaintSunday #scribbles

Digital sketch of OC, Zoya, a deathly pale woman with peroxide blonde hair wearing the bloodstained remnants of a burlesque costume. One arm is degloved down to the bone, and the other is missing flesh on several fingers and parts of the wrist. Her abdomen, while not visible, appears to be dripping blood, possibly from part of her costume or possibly from a bit of dangling innards - it's impossible to tell. She crouches on all fours, snarling, with wild, inhuman eyes and blood and lipstick smeared across her face.

Took a few minutes away from Inamorata/Bad Manners and the glacial commission grind to doodle Zoya before bed. She's having a bad time in her story rn.

Labeled for the kind of mild body horror you'd expect from me.

Digital concept sketching page for Carmine's character, Lucita Santo Domingo, a film noir inspired private detec4ive and monster hunter styled after 1930s Chicago fashions.

OCs, Lucita and Zoya Digital sketch with rough digital watercolor in greyscale and pink. Image depicts two women standing beneath a black umbrella against a grey, rainy background. Lucita, the Latina woman holding the umbrella, wears a long black coat over a suit and leans on a silver-handled cane. She stands poised with her chin and eyebrows lifted. Zoya, the blonde woman, is very pale and wears a baby pink coat ruffed in white fur and round, rose tinted sunglasses. She huddles close to Lucita as she looks out into the distance, one hand on her companion's arm and the other laid loosely but intimately around her shoulders.

Digital sketch of a pale pink humanoid monster crouched against a sickly Grey background. The creature has no eyes, but rather multiple horns encircling their head like a crown and halo, and a Glasgow gein which splits open to expose multiple rows of horrible, sharp teeth. Her ribcage is exposed, a second gaping mouth opens within it like a gaping wound, and a set of skeletal wings delicately webbed with thin skin shot through with visible vasculature enfolds her.

Thighs-up digital sketches with color showcasing the main three #Inamorata characters side by side. The two women in black both wear large feather hats reminiscent of one another - one carries a whip of shadows coiled over the shoulder, the other twin pistols training tendrils of smoke and shadow. The woman in the middle wears all white woth a rose in her hair and a necklace like blood drops, and poses with her claw-like nails on display.

#PortfolioDay SFW edition:

I'm known for pinups, but I do a lot of original character concept sketching for comic, novel, queer romance, and TTRPG projects. Lots of fashion history and midcentury macabre.

Personal projects: #SaintSunday and #Inamorata

OCs, Lucita and Zoya Digital artwork in reds and pinks featuring two sapphic characters kissing beneath a sprig of mistletoe, which is playfully held up by Zoya, the pale blonde woman on the right. She is dressed in all pink and gold and wears pink ostrich feathers in her hair. The shorter woman on the left, Lucita, wears a white button down tucked into a black pencil skirt with a red tie and suspenders. She grabs Zoya around the waist with one arm and holds her hand with the other.

A little repost from last Christmas. Happiest holidays from the Saint Sunday girls 🎄🎉

OC, Victoria Sweet Digital artwork in gold, pink, and red of a monstrous dark-haired woman with horns, claws, and partially skeletal bat-like wings kneeling in a pinup pose in a pool of blood. She holds one hand delicately beside her mouth and leans on a human skull with the other while grinning mischievously at the viewer. A tail comprised of vertebrae and ending in fleshy, toothy petals coils around her. Behind her is a simple golden frame and ring of gold which frame her head like a halo.

OC, Carmen Romero Digital artwork of a red-haired woman posed against a grey background. She wears a wide-brimmed black hat and black dress broken only by a red waist tie, short red scarf at the throat, and a plume of red ostrich feathers on the hat. A dark gradient creeps from her blackened claws and fingertips up her arms like an infection, and her eyes shine like a cat's from beneath the brim of her hat. Behind her, her shadow lurks with its monstrous arms closing in on her, while shadowy tendrils curl about her waist.

OCs, Lucita and Zoya Digital artwork of two backlit women holding each other on a grey and gold art deco background. The Latina woman in the left, Lucita, wears a smart dark grey suit and Panama hat as she romantically dips Zoya, a peroxide blonde white woman in a pink gown, who tips her head back as Lucita leans in to kiss her throat. In her right hand, Lucita delicately holds the handle of her silver sword cane, which she's driven through Zoya's heart and out her back, spilling blood down the back of the pink dress.

OC, Anja Sweet Digital portrait of a woman with multiple facial piercings, ombre white-to-pink hair styled in a retro victory roll, heart shaped sunglasses, and dressed in a rockabilly polka dot top and dark pink bomber jacket with shoulder spikes. She poses playfully with her split tongue stuck out at the viewer.

Oh hey, congrats on 2k! That's exciting and it's cool to see you grow so much since back when this site was still little. 🖤

I'm Carmine, I almost exclusively draw OCs, mostly from my two queer horror mystery comics in progress, #Inamorata and #SaintSunday, and sometimes from games.

I also have two comics in the works, #Inamorata and #SaintSunday, and my sketches are all filed neatly under #scribbles.

OC, Zoya Digital sketch with flat color of a very pale white woman with peroxide blonde hair posing playfully with a bisexual flag draped over her shoulder and upper arm. She wears a pastel pink dress and pink feathers in her hair, and the soft tissue has been stripped elbow-down from her right arm, which she holds up behind her head.

Zoya's up next in the OCs and their #Pride flags shitposting lineup.

#SaintSunday #OCsky

OC, Lucita Santo Domingo Digital sketch with simple color depicting a Latina woman in a loose, half-unbuttoned white button down tucked into a pencil skirt and suspenders over top. She poses with a lesbian pride flag held above her head with both hands.

Gonna shitpost all my OCs with their respective #Pride flags this month bc zero of them are str8, beginning with Lucita, who is a useless lesbian and also a bitch.

The Latina woman on the left, Lucita, wears a smart dark grey suit and Panama hat as she romantically dips Zoya, a peroxide blonde white woman in a pink gown, who tips her head back as Lucita leans in to kiss her throat. In her right hand, Lucita delicately holds the handle of her silver sword cane, which she's driven through Zoya's heart and out her back, spilling blood over her hand and down the back of the pink gown.

Talk to me, baby, 'bout a love that kills. 🖤🩸🩷

It's #SapphicSaturday honeybees, go forth and post something sapphic.

#CarmineArt #SaintSunday

OC, "Mother Mercy" Mulholland Digital sketch with soft colors depicting a white woman with auburn hair posing with her arms above her head. She wears a white gown, a white feather boa over her shoulders, and long white gloves with black claws. She is vaguely reminiscent of a swan.

OCs, the Birds of Paradise Rough digital sketch of three bird themed showgirls lounging in a group. The Black woman on the left, Roz, is modelled after a blue macaw. Priti, a Hindi woman, wears peacock green. Trails of blood dribble down both their chins. Zoya, a white woman with a blood stained dress and her right arm degloved down to the bone, is dressed in shades of flamingo pink. All three wear feathers in their hair and feather boas around their shoulders.

Some Saint Sunday concept scribbles as art block breakers (it's working!)

I feel like the first would be real fun to eventually finish as a deco style supper club ad. 🦢

#SaintSunday #scribbles #WIP #art

OC, Lucita Santo Domingo Sketch style reference sheet with muted colors depicting a Latina woman with a cane against a grey background. The two left images showcase full-body outfits: a white button-up with the top few buttons undone tucked into a pencil skirt in one, and a tailored black suit and red tie in the other, both with Panama hats. The two images on the right are hips-up, white button up and suspenders, and showcase her "over it" expressions. Other images highlight her sword cane and hand scars in better detail. A few handwritten notes point out key features.

I'm so bad about making ref sheets for my characters, but as the main character of her comic, my soggy fuckup lesbian monster hunter warrants at least a sketch sheet.

OCs, Lucita and Zoya Digital sketch with flat color of a pale blonde white woman dressed flamboyantly in a baby pink dress and feather boa playfully pulling an exasperated Latina woman in a button-down and red tie towards her by a suspender strap.

Did I post this one? Can't remember, and can't go wrong posting these dysfunctional dumbasses twice.

#SaintSunday #scribbles

OC, Lucita Santo Domingo Digital sketch in mostly greyscale depicting a tired, disgruntled Latina woman with curly shoulder-length hair standing with her bloodied hands on her hips. She wears suspenders over her loose white button-down, which she wears with the top few buttons undone. Blood spatters her shirt and cheek.

Dragging myself out of the Pit of Despair with a scribble of my soggy gay monster killer, Lucita, who looks very much how I feel rn.

Cropped digital artwork in progress depicting two women, on in a dark grey suit with dark hair, and one in a powder pink dress with pale hair, posed against an art deco inspired background. The woman in grey angles a sword cane downward and leans to kiss the second woman's exposed neck.

A little progress on a project I've been streaming for my sapphic server, sponsored by @jadebarefoot.bsky.social 🖤🩷

#WIP #saintsunday

OCs, Lucita and Zoya Art nouveau inspired digital artwork of two women lying on ivory sheets against a luminous pink background with a gold art nouveau frame incorporating white lilies. The pale white woman wears stockings and a pink feather boa draped over her otherwise nude body and twists to prop herself up, a hand lightly touching the back of the other woman’s neck. The second woman, brunette and Latina, is nude except for a garter belt and stockings and crawls over her with a scarred hand resting on her hip. Their faces are inches apart as they make eyes at each other.

Talk to me, baby, ‘bout a love that kills. 🩷✨💀

Happy Saint Valentine’s Day from the #SaintSunday gals.

OCs, Lucita and Zoya Digital linework with flats cropped to show the faces and torsos of two women, their faces inches apart as the woman above leans down for a kiss.

OCs, Victoria Sweet and L (belongs to dapperdinobot) Digital sketch with flat color of two women. The pale white woman on the left is dressed in a white gown and hat with a red bow. She holds a bouquet of roses in one hand as she grins over her shoulder at the shorter Hispanic woman, who is dressed fashionably in all black with a wide-brimmed hat and leans an arm on the first woman's shoulder.

OCs, L (belongs to dapperdinobot) and Victoria Sweet Greyscale artwork on two woman embracing. The woman on the left wears a black dress and ostentatious feathered hat, and poses with her hands on the second's shoulders. Her eyes are red. The woman on the right has long black hair and horns, and grins as she pulls the first to her possessively. Her eyes are pale blue.

Aight chat, I made decent progress on commission stuff so I'm rewarding myself with a dumb Valentine's Day piece. Which of my shit-ass comic couples am I drawing?

Comment:
💀 for Lucita & Zoya ( #SaintSunday )
🩸 for Vie and La Calavera ( #Inamorata )

OCs, Gloria Valentín, Lucita Santo Domingo, and Zoya Digital sketch with dilute digital watercolor wash, depicting the viral Bisexual Anne Hathaway promo photo for Twelfth Night redrawn with the artists' OCs. Lucita, a Latina woman in a dark suit and Panama hat, stands sandwiched and bewildered between two other women: a redhead in a red zoot suit, Valentín, on the left, who lifts Lucita's face with one hand to kiss her and holds a sword cane in the other; and a pale blonde in pink, Zoya, on the right, who rests her cheek on Lucita's shoulder and holds the sharp end of the sword in a skeletal hand. All three wear a marigold somewhere on their person.

Now that Valentín has an official face, I can finally purge this stupid mental image I had months ago and put it in your heads instead.
*cackles in lesbian and crawls back into the Sketchethon mines*
