OC-tober day 3/4: Old OC/Redesign

This one took me a few days so I'm combining the two prompts ^^ It would have been the same oc regardless anyway so it makes sense to given the tasks. I very rarely draw mechs so I hope you'll excuse the identical style to Zerrinth's post; symmetry is just so much easier when it comes to designing and basic posing.

His name is Delta, and he's an OC who I've had for a very long time.

Extremely long ramblings, timelapse and original art under the cut

I'll frontload this with the character lore and timelapse; if anyone cares for my breakdown of the oc itself, that'll be the huge ramble at the bottom ^^

D-17, going these days by Delta, is an autonomous multi-function guard unit. Originally from a world shrouded in eternal night, he and his charge Amyss fled its destruction in their ship, the ArchWing, to the planet of Soniterra. Spending their time amongst my other ocs, they now live amongst its denizens in secrecy, studying the world of light and sound through void-borne awe and wonder.

Powered by a zynal core, Delta is mechanically minded and quiet most of the time; tweaks to his functionality by Amyss have given him something of a sassy streak, however, and he's not afraid to giving a gentle ribbing to (or occasionally completely devastate) a poor friend with sharp remarks every once in a while.

Able to rearrange panels and parts of his body, as well as altering the shape and location of the hardlight parts of his form, Delta is capable of minor shapeshifting. He can also very precisicly manipulate tools and objects, capable of working on engineering projects at microscopic levels without any form of magnification or complex set ups with ease. Combining these skills means he is a very capable engineer, and has even rebuilt a living body into a partial cyborg to save someone's life. Though the world he now lives on seems primitive and inefficient by his standards, he does not usually feel arrogant about it; the mechanics of its tech are so different and new to him that he is ever interested in studying it.

A highly capable combatant, D-17's original purpose was to protect the outpost he and Amyss lived within from creatures of void. Energy beams firing from his hands and sharp blades forming from his body kept him and his charges safe, but the planet's end signalled an end to his guarding duties.

Ok, rambling time ;w;

I don't know exactly when I made this guy, but I remember writing about him all the way back in primary school, in blue pen on lined paper that I kept in my little organiser tray. That would be about age 6 or 7, making this guy almost twenty years old in real time ;-;

This OC is old enough to drink and vote in the uk, good fuckin lord

His origins start even earlier, in fact; he's an amalgamation of a couple of simple characters I made as a small child, including one of those 'running along the side of the road' guys you'd imagine on long car trips. Timelines and memories are fuzzy after 2 decades, but I'd imagine those guys are from at least a year or so before I squished all those ideas under one single name. So a solid 19 years, and a potential 20-21 easily :') wow.

Delta is actually old enough that I hadn't done much drawing by this point in my life, and so I mostly wrote things instead. Those old papers are around here somewhere, but design-wise he's never been truly nailed down; just a basic mental image and the odd description or two. The one exception is an old pixel art piece I made of him in mspaint, back on the Family Computer (remember those? ^^). I was a huge fan of pokémon fusions at the time, and I'd spend ages mixing up their sprites to see what I could do. Eventually I moved onto making things from scratch (scratch spriting, what a fun term), and that lead to the one and only time I've ever drawn this guy. It took way too long, it's very clunky, and I no longer have the original file :c Lost long ago in the move between computer to laptop I imagine. Instead, I managed to find it in a gloriously 240p youtube upload set to a Linkin Park song ^^ ah child me, you never left.

All the way from 2010, here's the best surviving version I could find. And yes, the youtube bar at the bottom is in the shot; you want to fight me over it, go find and screenshot it yourself :)

It's weirdly posed, has literally only 1 shade of grey + shading for colour, the design makes very little sense, especially for the chest and torso, and he looks a lot more evil than I intended. Despite a few efforts that went nowhere later in life though, I just never managed to redraw or redesign him in a way I was happy with. So for a long time, this grey pointy spriteart has been all I ever saw of Delta. Figured he was long, long, LONG overdue an update, and so here we are :)

Though he might look very different now and have actual anatomy knowledge informing his structure now, who'd have thunk? I tried very hard to keep intact the core design features that 13 year old me added in. It's the same fella after all! Here's a quick list of basic ones, since most of them are subtle but intentional after all:

-Glass/screen face with digital expression; I think taking the top off frees him up to look cleaner, but underneath was always a smooth screen. This way he can see above himself too ^^ -'Bunny ears'; little antenna/paddles that originate from the endless runner character, who was originally something of a rabbit -Shoulder-mounted boosters. Pretty self explanatory. -Upper arm loops; this one was actually a coincidence! I guess 2010 me and 2023 me both thought the upper arm needed something ^^ -Elbow plates; these were like. A big thing. Originally able to shapeshift into blades and other tools, I had to keep them in. It wouldn't be delta without them. They're just less... accidentally lethal now ^^ old design was POINTY -Split shins; the original shins have a pair of plates on them that form a sort of 'cuff' above the foot. I honoured this by making the feet the same way, the ankle connecting between the two sides. -Spikes! His hips were feeling a little.. empty? So I gave him some electromagnetic spikey blade things he can use as tools, as well as some hardlight claw hands.

Day 2 of OC-tober: a new OC

Amayah plays the bass and sings lead vocals for her band, Girl-Z. She's also a fierce roller derby competitor :) I just settled on my design for her this past weekend!

Amayah Willis is the cool, pretty, popular girl my vampire, Kath, has been stalking observing in 2028 after being in torpor the last two decades. For the ten years before that, Kath was living as Vixyn Nightshade, the Mall Goth Scene Queen counterpart to her sire, Ebon Nightshade. Now that she's a) among the undead once again and b) finally away from Ebon, Kath is ready to soak up whatever the new youth culture is all about.

Enter Amayah, a Brooklynite in an alternate future where the 2008 Recession was the Second Great Depression and the next twenty years were not much kinder. Oh, and covid still happened! But teenagers like Amayah are still out there living their lives, posting silly clips on Flurp and doing political demonstrations at Mayor Cynthia Nixon's City Hall.

Amayah has been slowly drawn into the orbit of the Foot Clan, the army of teenagers that squat in our empty theatre. Like Amayah, the majority of the Foot Clan aren't hip to the masquerade but as the coterie of vampires in their midst stirs up more and more trouble, the consequences are starting to pile up.

Through it all, Kath has been fixated on interested in Amayah, and it seems like she might return the sentiment but... Ebon's shadow looms large (and sometimes literally) and they haven't quite crossed that line. Yet? We'll see!

OC-tober Day 2: New OC

Prompt told me to design a new oc, so I finally kicked my own ass around to finishing this fella~ His name is Zerrinth, he's a bull, and he's much, much older than he looks.

Timelapse and character rambling under the cut :)

PLAYERS OF MY TABLETOP CAMPAIGN STOP READING HERE

Zerrinth isn't a new OC as per say, but he's very underdeveloped. Here's what I have on him ^^

One of a set of 7 'God' figures, he is the keeper of emotions (both on a personal and astronomical level). Very rarely showing more than a neutral and measured expression or tone to his actions, he is nonetheless a solid companion and member of the Perpetuals. Along with Morraestus, he helps keep the peace amongst the group. Quiet, reserved and ever-meditating, he measures his words carefully before speaking, and considers his actions thoroughly before he puts them into motion.

Killed long ago as a consequence of their hesistance, he was perhaps the most affected by their sibling's great pain; sharing in the distress of another so closely bonded nearly drove him to madness, but in the end he could not bring himself to trade pain for grief.

OC-tober Days 11-14: palette week!

I had 4 palettes left and there's 4 of us in the coterie, so this worked out perfectly! Each one really works for us thematically too.

Top left to bottom right we have Caleb, Kath, Isa and Ellis, also known as the Low Kings. As a Nosferatu, Caleb suffers from lesions all over his skin, which he disguises using his dominion over insects. Kath is our mixed-up Malkavian, swinging wildly between recklessness and protective shut down. Isa is a legacy Lasombra, from a tradition rich in secrets, shadows and... riches. And of course our warrior poet Ellis, the Gangrel determined to write her own version vampire history.

OC-TOBER (by bweird): PERSONALITY

Sister Negligence will NEVER pass up on an opportunity to be a distinguished sort of sparkly. Her veil and shimmering dress help to cover up her features during 'off days' where she just can't get her mask right.
