It's 2024 and I'm finally starting one of the personal projects on my long list. It's slow going but I'll work on it little by little

Jie Hua
Okay, time for my Star Rail oc! She's still a WIP rn (and...final design might be seen for awhile dshdsf)
Brief Overview:
A former blacksmith from the Xianzhou Alliance that was afflicted with mara. Desperate to stay alive, she drew Qliphoth's gaze and managed to store her consciousness into her weapon before escaping the Xianzhou Alliance. In an effort to cure herself, she went on a journey through space in search of Yaoshi. Later, she came across the Astral Express Crew and eventually became one of their train guards.
(A/N: Pls ignore the other hand. I'm finishing up her bow before I draw it sfhsg)

I nearly lost my mind designing her weapon and figuring out the mechanics behind it.
Some of my notes on discord because I got too lazy to type it up again:

Up until now I still got mixed feelings about her outfit. I looked at lots of Hoyoverse character designs as refs, but I'm not entirely sure it conveys Jie Hua's character well. I was thinking of redesigning it to have a more... combat-ready look(?) Like... oh hey, this character is strong and she has extensive knowledge of weapons and combat. Cause her current outfit looks like something she would wear at an event/celebration. Not sure about the colors as well.
Got her lore figured out too but I would probably change it again as I see fit in future updates.

Briar
First post on this oc blog is Briar!
Fandom: Mahoyaku/Promise of Wizard
Quick Overview:
Briar is a 2000 year old wizard that lives in the Northern Country. His disposition is a rarity among Northern wizards - welcoming, friendly, easy-going - though his magic is nothing to laugh at. Also known as the Wizard of Animals; his power is enough to bring a dragon to its knees.

Random Facts:
Magic Spell: Camia Acercos
Anagram of the latin words Amica(friend) and Accerso(call); literally "calling a friend" (A/N: take note that I got this by searching up the words; so its probably not accurate)
Briar was loosely based off of Sleeping Beauty; also known as Little Briar Rose, hence his name and motif.
I definitely had fun styling his hair ^^ Logically speaking though, it'd probably take him a while to make his hair perfect in the mornings without magic.
Likes taking in animals and magical creatures. He adores them. and more often than not, they adore him too. Think of an animal or a magical creature - Briar probably tamed them at some point.
If Briar was anything like the Northern wizards - aggressive, hungry for power - he could probably take over the world? Just like Oz. They can summon a dragon with one ring of their bell after all. Imagine a whole army of magical creatures terrorizing the countries. Luckily he's a good guy (good grampa) that just wants to play with his familiars in his cozy home in the North.
Their main familiar is a phoenix named Calcifer. (The phoenix got his name from Howl's Moving Castle's Calcifer.) He's been with Briar ever since he was a baby. Where he came from? Who knows.
Canonically, Briar exists in an AU of Mahoyaku; he alters significant parts of the original timeline (being Snow and White's first adoptive son(?)/student; finding Owen when he was young and raising him; altering a certain event that would have changed things between Snow and White...
And Briar has his own lore and secrets too. It gets pretty complicated tbh. I plan to make a fic out of this AU since I got his entire lore figured out but that's one of the many personal projects in my list.

Welcome!
Tumblr media
Hello and welcome to my oc sideblog!
This is a place for me to ramble about my ocs and sonas.
Some things to take note:
I love angst very much and exploring dark topics (e.g. murder, mental illnesses, psychological mindfuckery, you get the idea; some of my ocs aren't having a good time), so some of my posts on here may be disturbing for some. I'll put a warning and a readmore so watch out for them if you decide to explore. Or feel free to click the back button or block.
I do yume/self-shipping, which means you may see my ocs/sonas romancing fandom characters.
I don't mind oc interactions! I haven't done them in awhile tbh, but I would love to them again. My troubled gremlins need some friends/lh
This is common sense, but don't steal my ocs, repost my art/writing, DO NOT USE THEM FOR AI or NFT or any other BS going around. I'm serious.
Posts with very dark topics will be tagged with #graveyard
That's about it. Thank you for stopping by!
