“Betty” hitting on Miriam, her hand on Miriam’s cheek. Betty says “What, you thinking I’m prettier as a woman? Me too!” And Miriam shyly, with a blush, replies, “No. just… you’re being nice.”
Miriam never noticed how patient and nice Bonegrease can be until he took on a female persona and he doesn’t hide his care and concern behind jokes and jabs. Not as much at least.
#artsky #ocsky #art #originalcharacters #bonegrease
Betty has pretty, short hair reminiscent of 90s older women hairstyles. She has heavy makeup on her eyes and dark lipstick. She wears long nails, chunky jewelry and wears a big fur coat.
Fullybody of betty. She swears a strapless tube dress that has a slit up her thigh and fishnets, along with pointed toe heels. She holds a cigarette in her hand loosely as she looks at an unseen person and smiles easily and languidly.
The same reference, but she’s in the fur coat. She’s cute.
Betty Guetta. She’s an ex lady of the night and isn’t shy about it. She’s got a motherly nature to her and will do her best to be as nurturing to anyone around her. A genuinely lovely older lady to be around.
She’s also Bomegrease in drag.

Lots of expressions displaying Miriam’s many emotions.
Same thing, but with Bonegrease.
Forgot to post the actual final versions of these here. Character expression sheets for Miriam and Bonegrease.
My widdle mew mews. #bonegrease #ocsky #art #ghost
Full reference sheet for Beelzebul aka Eddie Baron. Eddie’s a fat man with blue eyes and black hair. He’s wearing a green sweater and black slacks. He has a manic smile on his face with kind of tired eyes. Beelzebul is a much larger demon with green skin and wild black hair. He’s got an even wider smile, glowing orange/yellow eyes. In his belly is a giant maw smiling just as wide. He has a long, prehensile tail.
Bonegrease is a nasty guy wearing an old suit. His wiry, greasy hair is slicked back out of his face. His vest is grey and white striped with a red shirt, black tie and his pants tucked into old combat boots. In his second reference, he also dons a blazer and overcoat, just as old and dirty as the rest of his clothes.
Miriam’s full reference. Tbh, there’s not much difference in her ref apart from her skin tone being darker and her nose wider. (She was supposed to be mixed before but that comes off a lot easier now). She still wears a purple cropped shirt, baggy coat with teal to yellow ombre colors, rolled up jeans and old combat boots. Still, happy with her update.
Updated their ref sheets for #artfight this year. Very excited for the Bonegrease cast.
#bonegrease #ocsky #referencesheet
Tyler, looking sheepish and rubbing the back of his neck “Promise you won’t tell Deb I hurt my foot out here? Again?” Miriam, taking off her respirator and smirking: “I’ll give you three days to tell her yourself, Lover-boy.”
Cassie, looking annoyed and removing her earring: “I’m just worried about her. She doesn’t have fun or meet new friends. She’s so anti-social… I wish she’d party a little!” Deb, reaching for skincare products and looking concerned: “Not everyone likes that scene, though. I don’t. She doesn’t have to… Just don’t push her too hard or she may resent you.”
Some environment and character dynamic tests for Bonegrease. Had a lot of fun with them! #artsky #art #characterdesign #bonegrease
Miriam looking drunk, pointing at an off screen person as she speaks with literally loose lips. You can tell she’s slurring. She may be ordering a drink, scolding someone, or trying to pick a fight. Who knows?
Working on Miriam’s 25 Expressions challenge now and I have a lot of fun just doing them out of order as my friends ask me what expression to do next. This one was last night’s favorite. #ocsky #art #characterdesign #bonegrease
"25 Essential Expressions Challenge" by Nancy Lorenz, 2007 Template. This is my favorite expression challenge template to use (and been using since like 2014). This one features Bonegrease's many unique expressions listed as: Happy, Sad, Pleased, Angry, Confused, Tired, Shocked/Surprised, Irritated, WTF?!?!, Triumph, Fear, Bereft, Flirty, Serious, Silly, Hollow/Blank, Incredulous, Confident, Fierce, Despondant/Pouty, Drunk, Rage, Sarcastic (my personal favorite, he's got his hands together in a 'boi' pose and a huge, manic smile on his face), Disgusted and Ill/Nauseous.
A 25 Expressions challenge I completed for Bonegrease! Honestly, if you have problems with consistency or figuring out how your characters emote in specific situations, please complete this! It's SO helpful! Miriam is up next. #ocsky #artsky #art #bonegrease
The same charactersheet as before but with the addition of Eddie Baron, Chrissi Rivers and Beelzebul. Eddie stands at an imposing 7’10, Chrissi is a reasonable 5’7 and Beelzebul is a massive “roughly 8 1/2 feet” tall.
Updated character sheet. Had to add Eddie, Chrissi and Beelzebul. There may be a few additions to the cast , but I doubt it’ll be overmuch for the main cast at least. (And technically Chrissi wont make an appearance, shell be in a spinoff) #myocs #art #bonegrease
Eddie is leaning over Chrissi, smiling pleasantly as she excitedly chatters with him about the book he’s brought back to her. The book is Pride and Prejudice.
Chrissi is in a little thought bubble, excitedly saying “oh, hey, Eddie!!” She has hearts floating all around her. Beelzebul is smiling stupidly as he stares at nothing, hearts in his massive pupils. He’s head over heels for her and he knows it.
Beelzebul smiling at the viewer with a smug knifecat expression.
Back to the cute shit!!
Eddie is absolutely infatuated with Chrissi and does everything he can to spend time with her. Even reading sappy romance novels he’d never touch on his own just because she recommended them.
He thinks about her a lot.
#myoca #art #bonegrease
Two panel comic, first panel shows Chrisi looking terrified with tears pricking her eyes as she crawls away. Textbox says “Ah. Again…” Second panel shows Eddie looking tired and maybe a little forelorn, with a bit of dribble falling from the side of his mouth. “I don’t want to loose her. But… fuck. I hate when they look at me like that…”
Eddie’s struggles with what and who he is is very new… and very confusing.
Wrote a fic to go along with this pain. It’s on my tumblr art account, though.
It’s gross.
#art #myocs #bonegrease
Single panel image of Eddie Baron holding Bonegreaee by his collar. His eyes are glowing orange and teeth bared in an unfriendly, drooling smile as he says “Oh, how the mighty have fallen,” the last word ending in a haze of sickly orange and dripping with contempt. Bonegrease is flinching away from Eddie in disgust as he says through his teeth, “Hello, Beelzebul…”
Gabaerosene looms behind Beelzebul, his arms folded and toothy face open to reveal his narrowed eyes in the back of his throat. He doesn’t look pleased and is most likely 2 seconds away from beating Beelz’s ass. Beelzebul looks nervous as he smiles anxiously, drool still dripping down his chin as he offers no explanation.
Bonegrease and Eddie do NOT get along. Their history is long and unpleasant.
Gabaerosene, meanwhile, makes Beelzebul extremely uncomfortable… #characterdesign #monsterdesign #monster #bonegrease #art
First sketch: Chrissi looks uncomfortable and is pulling away from Eddie’s demon form as he leans in close and talks to her, drool stringing from his teeth. Second sketch: Chrissi singing into a microphone, smiling and enjoying herself. Third sketch: Eddie looks down at Chrissi and smiles stupidly. Chrissi seems unaware of his presence and is smiling as she listens to music. Last sketch: Eddie in demon form nuzzling and holding Chrissi off the floor as he putts and loves on her. Chrissi is mildly worried looking and is quietly asking no one for help.
Sketchpage with Chrissi and Eddie. I adore them both. It’s gonna take a whiiile for Eddie to earn her affection… but the hunt is just half the fun for him 😏 #art #characterdesign #bonegrease
Chrissi is thin, but has long luscious hair that falls all the way down to her bottom. She wears small round glasses, dark lipstick and has many piercings in her ears. She wears a collared blouse under her sweater, which is purple with yellow flowers. Her skirt is ankle length and is a similar shade to the flowers on her sweater. She’s wearing loose socks and pull on, thick soled loafers. She’s also wearing a little green jewel around her neck. She holds herself in a confident, almost coy posture.
Rough sketch of her face. She looks the same but more open and teasing, her head tilted a little back as if she’s looking up at someone.
The catalyst for Eddie changing: Chrissi. She’s the new girl in town and seems happy go lucky. She marches to her own drum and rarely sacrifices herself for other’s comfort. She’s oblivious to Eddie’s infatuation and, frankly, is happy being on her own. #characterdesign #oc #art #bonegrease
A massive fat demon with teal-green skin. His mouth is massive and has huge teeth. His eyes are orange and glow vibrantly. He has no proper nose, just two nostrils between his eyes. He has long wild hair giving him a rough appearance of a lion. On his belly is a mouth grinning just as wide as the one on his face. He has a “goatee” under his belly mouth (its his happy trail repurposed lol). He has a long prehensile tail, too.
Eddie’s true form is just a human. He’s tall (roughly 7’6) and wide. He’s fat and built. He’s got a manic smile on his face that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. Said eyes are blue but glowing orange, as well as a little bruised from lack of sleep. He’s wearing a deep green sweater, black slacks and brown loafers as well as a watch on his left hand.
New antagonist for Bonegrease’s universe, Eddie Baron. This guy isn’t a demon himself, but he is “possessed” by a demon of gluttony. He’s a menace and only interested in himself… but maybe thatl’ll change soon. #characterdesign #ocs #art #bonegrease
Three paneled silent comic. First panel: Miriam looks desperate and animated, speaking to Bonegrease as he is turned away from her and looks up, apprehensive if not anxious. Second panel: Bonegrease has turned on Miriam and she looks small and afraid as he points at himself and advances on her. Third panel: Bonegrease looks ashamed, his back to Miriam once again. Miriam has her back to Bonegrease and holds herself, tears in her eyes, as she seems to stare at nothing.
Bonegrease stands over Miriam as he pets her hair and turns off her alarm clock. His expression is soft and sympathetic as he seems to be as uninvasive as possible. Miriam is curled in bed, her brow furrowed as her sleep is disturbed and she threatens to wake up. She’s holding a pillow tight as she sleeps.
Bonegrease is giving Miriam a piggy back ride as he seems upbeat and chatty, smiling ear to ear as he carries her without any issue. He supports her weight by carrying her under her knees. Miriam looks annoyed, and maybe a little flustered as she’s carried like a child. She wraps her arms around his neck in a loose and easy grip. Even if she’s annoyed an embarrassed, she doesn’t seem to fear being dropped.
Bonegrease and Miriam have a very… interesting relationship. They both have problems and reservations about the other and both are valid for them… but they still have moments of affection. Maybe one of them more than the other. #art #myart #bonegrease #characterdesgn
Character lineup with the MCs of Bonegrease. Cassie is far left. She has dark skin with natural textured spacebuns, pink crop spaghetti strap, cheetah print jacket with blue lining, jean skirt, purple thigh high socks and pink (not) Ugg boots. She looks peppy and sweet. Tyler is a strawberry blond ginger with confident smirk. He’s wearing a flannel with a white v-neck tee, well fitted jeans and red canvas shoes. Debb is short with a cute bob and big glasses. She stands nervously, fidgeting with her hands. She’s wearing a green sweater, white turtleneck, capri pants and white slip on shoes with ruffled socks. Miriam stands firmly balanced, but cautious. She wears a purple long sleeved crop tee, an oversized raincoat that’s teal and fades into neon green. She wears mom jeans and old brown combat boots. Last is Bonegrease, wearing his goofy ah suit, complete with a vest 2 sizes too small and greasy hair. His overcoat is ripped and dirty at the bottom hem.
The same height chart but with Gabaerosene towering behind them. He’s twice as tall as Deb. He’s a jester with a ruffled collar, puffy sleeves and pants with striped tights and heeled boots.
A full lineup for the maij cast of #Bonegrease. Very happy with how the characters all look standing together! Might have to simplify Cassie’s design a little, but that’s what a optional jacket is for. #art #characterdesign #bonegrease
Bonegrease sits in a car while puckering his lips and signing “Peace”. Miriam is in a car behind him, yelling and flicking him off while Tyler watches on in exhausted indifference.
Bonegrease has a mocking expression, wearing broken glasses as he flicks off the camera and lifts a book titled “Die Mad About It”.
Bonegrease is so easily Memeable it hurts XD man takes NOTHING seriously. #art #bonegrease #artmeme #originalcharacter #oc
A fullbody image of a teenager (15 years old) He has buzzed ginger hair, brown eyes, and a single scar shaved eyebrow. He has a stocky build and is wearing grunge-core clothes. His shirt says “Stop Drop and Roll” in a fake Band-Tee style.
Fullbody sketch page of Sid. Includes the previous image as well as a front facing bust and a silly doodle of Sid yelling at bonegrease: “You stay away from—“ Bonegrease, looking annoyed and unimpressed: “Yeah, yeah…”
Miriam and child Sid curled up on the couch as she reads from a little book and he plays a video game. It’s a domestic and cozy scene where Sid’s leaning on a pillow (and her torso) and she’s enjoying the closeness without smothering him. Sid’s likely around 8 or 9.
Another bust trying to place Sid’s facial features and soften him up. He looks self assured if apathetic. A second bust of Sid as a child before coming into Miriam’s care, his hair long and wild and likely unkempt as tears prick his eyes. His shirt is on backwards and the shirt tag is flipped up.
New OC for Bonegrease! He’s a later addition, but he’s a rough and tough kid who’s been through a lot. Miriam gets it and they get along just fine. #art #characterdesign #bonegrease
Bonegrease but cleaned up. Doodled this last night just for fun. It’s the “neu me” edition LOL. He’s still a smug smirking jerk who enjoys being a menace to society, but at least he’s clean!
