I'm often guilty of falling into the cartoon trap of creating characters who are welded directly into their singular outfit. Thus a while back I thought I'd stretch my legs beyond a dressing room curtain and play dress-up some OCs. Jay seemed a great start. I have yet to continue.

My original character Jay sporting a variety of outfits. From the top-left: - 'Casual': Purple-and-white striped tank-top, thigh-high socks and fingerless gloves are worn with crudely-cut black jorts - 'Work/School': They lean at a standing desk, purple hoodie dangling on a red plaid skirt atop black tights and ankle-boots - 'Pyjamas/Nightwear': They tiredly hold a pillow and mug, clad in black shorts and purple crop-top - 'Party': Fishnet gloves and tights are worn beneath a black hoodie, purple crop-top, plaid skirt and tall leather boots, with dark purple makeup - 'Summer': a wide-brimmed black hat and circular sunglasses cover their head. A strappy, pink 'Miffy' top sits above a pink plaid skirt, fishnets and pink ankle-boots. They cool off with a black folding fan, as a purple bag and tied purple hoodie hang off them. - 'Winter': A black beanie and stripy purple scarf cover Jay's face exhaling cold air. A black hoodie ends the sensible outfit, the lower half barely covered by a short purple skirt, fishnets and knee-high converse - 'Wedding': Lacy, fingerless black opera gloves cover Jay's waving arms, matching the trim on a layered, floral black and maroon dress. Their hair is held up with sticks and face adorned with black eyeliner and lipstick - 'Funeral': An all-black 4-piece suit is accessorised with dark red tie and lapel flower, as Jay's red-painted eyes sit solemnly closed. - 'Swimwear': Inflatable pink floaties and dinosaur ring flank Jay's body, adorned with swimming trunks and little else. - 'Christmas': A gaudy green and red elf-dress sits over red and white-striped sleeves and stockings, as their excited face is capped with elfish headwear - 'Other OC's Clothes': Jay stands leaning casually on the frame of the panel, arm dangling above, wearing an oversized rugby shirt and a suggestive grin - 'Bonus!' Donned in the infamous belt-dress of Lulu from Final Fantasy X, Jay looks toward the moogle plush in their hand adorned with a mop of yellow hair.

Apparently the oldest not-awful art I have yet to post anywhere is this early render of my whimsical scarecrow Jethro from 5 years ago. To sweeten the deal it comes accompanied with some other Jethro doodlage, including the faux-Carter Goodrich deck-chair picture I keep pestering you all with.

A vaguely watercolour-styled digital drawing of a scarecrow character Jethro. On a rock sparsely surrounded by foliage Jethro stands on one leg, the other outstretched behind him, leaning into the wind. Upon the brim of their straw hat comfortably sits a small songbird. Jethro's hollowed turnip-head leans forward, one of their twig-arms raised above their brow as if to shield from the sun. Across the other side of their tattered red marching coat, their other hand lightly holds onto a pink rose, petals blowing away in the wind. A small parsnip sits in the coat pocket beside the rope belt holding up their tattered blue trousers.A scribbly digital illustration of a mutated scarecrow Jethro on a dark teal background. Reaching out a grotesquely overgrown gnarled hand toward the viewer, their arm blossoms erratically with flowers rising through the twisted trunk. Their centre of their hollowed-out turnip head glows orange beneath a wide-brimmed hat, lurching over their exposed rib-like chest beneath tattered red coat. Their legs, similarly twisted and overgrown, cascade down into clumps of tangled roots and buds. Jethro, a scarecrow in a wide-brimmed straw hat and tattered red marching band-style overcoat, reclines in a deckchair suspended high in the sky by a smattering of balloons tied to the corners. They're holding a glass of champagne with a twig for flavour. This is illustrated in warm red and orange hues mimicking the coloured-pencil style of Carter Goodrich.A green-toned doodle of Jethro (a scarecrow) holding out a candle-snuffer chasing Wick (a candle) holding out a knife.

about 10 main pages left to assemble for the critter zine, plus intro/forward, endpapers, and the cover, then probably a bunch of editing but the end is in sight

Given my friends' fervent propensities to run RPGs I end up making a bunch of characters to play and then largely forget about. Since I'm catching up sharing things, here are some of the more painterly portraits I've made over the years, namely those of Claudio, Rowena, Opiter and Cyril.

A moody evening illustration of the base of a wooden bar counter between the legs of bar stools. Claudio, a wooden puppet, leans against the bar, their head and limbs wrapped in roughly-sewn hessian, buttons in the place of eyes, mouth-hole loosely sewn shut. A red bandana holds back golden curls of hair, held in place by threaded sewing needles. Leather belts wrapped around his body hold pouches on his side and three darts on his back. The whole thing is rendered as a digital illustration in dark, moody brown tones.A rough digital painting of Rowena, a lady standing in a purple-toned forest. She glares unimpressed over her shoulder with her left eye, her right covered in a lens-fitted eyepatch.. Her thick ponytail of scraggly grey-brown hair is braided into a scarf wrapping around her neck and over her shoulder. She wears a green knit jumper, hooded top and leather overcoat onto which the straps of an oversized backpack sit. Her gloved right hand cradles the barrel of a rifle, whilst her sleeveless left arm is shown as constructed from an intricate collection of joints, metal bars, wooden frames and guided wires.A brown-toned digital painting of an older man, Opiter. His balding head is surrounded by a cascade of greying hair, as thick-brimmed circular glasses frame his stoic green eyes. His pencil-moustache-clad mouth stretches widely as he raises an eyebrow in subtle disapproval. He wears a velvet-textured purple suit coat and waistcoat over a high-collared white shirt held shut with dark purple bow-tie.Digital painting of a nervous-looking, wide-eyed man in stark green lighting. His concerned eyebrows arch as if to mimic his pencil moustache in directing your attention up to his pier-like widow's peak. Loosely knotted orange bow-tie dangling out of his unkempt shirt reflects the glow from the ashing cigarette wrinkling out of his mouth. He is, you'd likely suspect, up to something.
