For that week, the prompt was an outfit swap! 🎉😘
Descriptions of what 🎲 Ace, 📚 Ren, & ⚡ Rini's fit swap details can be found in alt text!
Don't think I'll do much more w/ this but I do like it 🥰

Sketch of my OCs, Ace Ortega 🎲 (L, green), Renato Martinez 📚 (R, purple), & Serena Valentín ⚡ (middle, yellow/gold). They are posed as if they are taking a selfie together with Serena ⚡ holding the camera, Renato 📚 leaning in on HER left shoulder, and Ace 🎲 hugging her from HER right side.

#ocs #octalk #newregrets
recent #artquarium qotd asked what everyone's main OCs are & I,,, I somehow did not just have a normal picture of the current mains: 🎲 Ace, 📚 Renato, & ⚡ Serena 😅😅😅
Whipped up this sketch rq just to have something to post for that tbh 😂
((Maybe it'll become more later 😜))

WIP sketch of my OCs, Serena Valentín (top, yellow/gold) & Renato Martinez (bottom, purple). They are looking lovingly into each other's eyes at my favorite distance to draw their faces: within 6 in (12.74 cm) apart but NOT TOUCHING 🤪🙃

Sketch of my OC, Renato Martinez. He's having an orgasm 😘

#OCs #ocsky #octalk #newregrets

Really loving how the hair I've been drawin looks lately 😍😊🎉 Esp Ren's, ofc 💛😘🥰💛

(& yea! That is 📚 Renato bustin a nut!!! 💛🤭💛)

Traditional pen & ink lineart with pencil sketch visible underneath featuring my OC, Serena Valentín ⚡

Traditional pen/ink drawing of my OC, Eddie Weaver 🐙 (likely complaining about debugging some code or something LOL)

Traditional pen/ink draw of my OCs, Eddie Weaver 🐙 (blue shirt, glasses) & Serena Valentín ⚡ (yellow hair, skirt). On the left, Serena is yelling at Eddie while using her activated Microphone Conduit to threaten him, and Eddie exaggeratedly plays dead. On the right, someone off-screen has called for them, & in true ADHD pseudo-sibling fashion, Eddie & Serena drop their silly play-fighting to pay attention to the new info. 😂

Traditional pen/ink drawing of my OC, Iris Drosera 🌸

#OCs #ocsky #newregrets #octalk #traditional
Posting some traditional doodles I've done lately bc those are on my phone at least!! 🎉
(& making this a 🧵)

nothin I love more than happening to do research for #newregrets & finding out microphones really do work via mfing magic 😭😂

You're tellin me that it's just the sound movin a diaphram that becomes electrical energy???? fuckin god i hate it here 😂

me vs the science of acoustics 👊

Sketch of my OCs Ace Ortega (L, green), Renato Martinez (Mid, purple), & Serena Valentín (R, gold) sleeping. Ace is the most sprawled, arm draped over Serena; Renato holds one of Ace's hands while Ace rests their head in the crook of his arm, his left arm claimed by Serena; Serena has her leg over one of Renato's while her hand is resting on Ace's chest.

#octalk #ocs #newregrets
We have prompts of the week on the Artquarium, & this sketch was for the prompt a couple weeks ago of "draw your OCs in pajamas &/or sleeping" 🎉 Anyways, here's Ace, Ren, & Rini sleeping together 💛💛💛💛💛

#octalk #newregrets

📚 No, Renato does not. He IS confident people are attracted to him, & he can recognize that he looks better when putting effort into his appearance... He just doesn't care. 😂 He doesn't really look at people like that in general, so it's not something he thinks about.

Sketch of my OC Damia Morozov. Before joining Voz Unida (VU), Damia had this fuckass bob & lived with her older brother (who she resembles here!!! i'm so happy!!!), Filip. All her accessories are blinged out, as always 💛

#octalk #newregrets #oc #ocsky
so i listened to the new Tessa Violet song, "Knowing", & it felt like a GREAT song for Damia's (r)evolution from her life living w her overprotective brother to becoming an independent woman fighting to defend her ideals w Voz Unida💛

LOVE her family resemblance here😍

Sketch of my OC Iris Drosera. She's my Blue Eyes White Latina 😂

#octalk #newregrets #oc #ocsky
sketch of Iris i did a while ago for the primary purpose of designing her ahoge 😂 it's shaped like a cobra lily! 🎉

i'm really loving these more intentionally designed ahoges -rubs my little fly hands together- 💛😏

Flat-colored & swatched sketch of my OC Lakshimi Gupta, Vice President & Attorney General of the New American Union. She's a dark-skinned Indian woman with a long braid that reaches past her hips & dark wine/maroon lipstick. She wears a deep plum military uniform modified to her liking (she is quite proud of the crest tattoo on her chest & her "pencil" skirt has hidden pleats that allow her more range of motion). The uniform has muted hot pink and ivory accents. Swatch labeling (top to bottom; left side first, then right): nat. hair - colors primarily found in her natural hair color lipstick ombre - span of swatches for the natural hair transitioning into dyed hair tips - swatches for the very ends of her hair jewelry - she wears gold & gunmetal (sometimes black silver/gold; basically a dark grey metal color) accessories arrow pointing up, nat - denoting the span of her natural hair color line with flat ends, ombre - denoting the span of the ombre transition arrow pointing down, tips - denoting the span of the "tips" colors

Flat-colored & swatched sketch of my OC Damia Morozov, Secretary of Labor of the New American Union. She's an albino Caucasian woman of Russian descent with her platinum hair buzzed short & rhinestone rimmed sunglasses. She wears a deep plum military uniform with muted hot pink and ivory accents, cinched around the waist with a rhinestone belt (wearing pants otherwise). She has 6 piercings on the ear in view & 2 nose piercings (stud & septum). Every single one has little gems/bling in SOME way (they're the only girly thing Damia can stand). Top left swatches labeled "rhinestone (blue only for skull studs)" ((i'm realizing belatedly that the "studs" i'm referring to are actually supposed to be gauges LMAO)) Bottom right swatches labeled "bottom grey is button color" - the uniform buttons are also gunmetal (like a dark grey metal color)

#oc #ocsky #newregrets #octalk
these are a couple flat-colored sketches of Damia & Lakshmi i made to sort out the proper swatches for their color schemes 💛

i'm SOOOOO happy with how pretty Lakshmi is omg 😍 sorry, i don't have anything more intelligent to say about it 🤣

Good morning, I'll have you all know that the best balances & connections that happen over the course of #newregrets are entirely on accident bc I was so focused setting up some other things I thought would be easier/more interesting to do & then it all fits together in my mind only months later 😂😂😂

God I'd love to be reborn as Rini bc then I'd have UBI & free pubtrans 😂😂😂😂 also no 40hr work weeks unless that's how you choose to live your life 🎉

I'd be just doing like the Conduit Repair version of what I do for work now LMAO

Here's a cool little rundown on how the magic in #newregrets works, for anyone who is curious! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
