It is amazing what one can do with a pencil and paper. ✏️🖊🖍 I doodle both my own OCs as well as other characters from various media. I don't need GenAI's help to be awesome.

The "Sams Club" witnesses an out-of-context problem. #art #drawing #sketch #fanart #Sam

Four different characters named Sam look out the window and see not the Visitor (Lucky them!) but a few Sphere Doomers flitting about. Going clockwise from the bottom-left, the Sams come from: Looney Tunes, Totally Spies, Sam & Max, and Look Outside.

A human Toadette ready for the lounge. #art #drawing #sketch #fanart #Toadette

This is Toadette as a human, standing under a spotlight and holding a mic. Jakky's design is used as a reference in drawing this.

Wheel! Of! Fortune! #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt #fanart #Chuggaaconroy Shout out to @chuggaaconroy.bsky.social and @roahmmythril.bsky.social!

It's a game of Wheel of Fortune. Numekko (Qwill's OC) stands next to the big board instead of Vanna White, while Chugga, Qwill and Roahm Mythril take the role of the three players.
This is a Toss-Up puzzle with the category of "Literature". Chugga gives a goofy grin while shrugging because he rang in early and doesn't know the answer (as per usual).
Can you viewers solve the puzzle?

A make-or-break shot to the corner pocket. 🍅🪡🎱 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

Numekko, Voodoll, Prime-8 and Kumiho have gathered for a game of pool. Voodoll is next, and he is using a giant needle to take his shot. Meanwhile, Prime-8 had changed out of his lab coat, and Kumiho is sharpening her pool cue.

The dialogue goes:
Voodoll: How do I look?
Prime-8: Such a promising young player!
Kumiho: Yeah, a regular Minnesota Fats.

When the expression "you are what you eat" is taken literally. #art #drawing #sketch #comic #fanart #AtelierKaria #Kirby #chestnut

In this one-page comic, Karia (Atelier Karia) and Kirby are on a lunch date together, eating shucked chestnuts from a bowl. All of the sudden, a fresh chestnut, spines and all, sprouts from Karia's head. Kirby then inhales this chestnut right off Karia to get the Needle ability. Karia wonders about what had just happened and says to Kirby, "Oh my. Did you just do that?"

Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories will come to all major game consoles in February of 2027.

It's all Greek (fire) to me. #art #drawing #sketch #fanart #Korone #Bender

Korone Inugami expresses confusion over an unextinguished fire bar, Bender holds a lit cigar, and a Burning Leo breathes fire to light up a fuse. All that happens in spite of taking place underwater.

The dialogue goes:
Korone: Water in the fire, why?
Bender: That just raises more questions.

I confess that I drew this pic due to those two lines making a silly punchline together.

Love is blossoming between the most unlikely of partners. 🐌🕷🌷 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

Numekko and Ananse are resting at the roots of a big tree. Numekko is eating a rose with white petals. (She's a slug girl, after all!) Ananse is sitting on the other side and carrying a whole bouquet of colorful flowers, while giving an aside glance toward Numekko and blushing.
The ironic part about their relationship is that in real life, some species of spiders do eat slugs.

Happy Halloween 2026! 🎃⭐️🎃 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt #Halloween

Qwill and his OCs are all dressed up for Halloween! Qwill is Eddy (Ed Edd n Eddy) in a zombie Elvis outfit, Numekko is Wicke (Pokémon Sun and Moon), Ananse is totally a Spider Fox in arachnophobe safe mode, Prime-8 is Captain Hook, Kumiho is Kasane Teto (UTAU version), and Voodoll is Unico.

The charming couple goes out for a movie. 🕷🐌🎟 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

Ananse and Numekko get a couple of tickets at the movie theatre. A pale-skinned clerk and a popcorn machine with complementary buckets are standing behind the counter.
The posters on the rear wall show a Tyrannoqueen from "Junessic Land" (Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth) and the moon from "Sneezy Moon" (Rhythm Heaven Groove).

Why are spiders the most feared thing in the world again? 🕷 #art #drawing #sketch #fanart #spider

The Contessa (Sly 2: Band of Thieves), Widow (Hollow Knight Silksong) and Rachnera (Monster Musume) stand together and pose for a pic. Peering from behind the folded corner is Ananse (Qwill's OC), who looks on in shock.

A hex on you! ...Make that two! #art #drawing #sketch #fanart #Pokemon #HexManiac

On a dirt path lined with leaves, there is a pair of Hex Maniacs, creepy and cute trainers who specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon. The one at the left comes from Pokémon X and Y, while the other one is from Pokémon Legends Z-A. The left Hex Maniac gives a variation of one of her most memorable lines: "Could you be... the one?"
There's also a Pumpkaboo beside them, and it's holding a bottle of Moomoo Milk.

The week leading into Halloween is upon us! 🦊🍅🎃 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

Qwill and a couple of his OC friends are at a pumpkin patch. Voodoll is posing next to the jack o' lantern on the ground, while Kumiho is sending one of her fox fires inside the jack o' lantern that Qwill is carrying.

Next up, a double dose of Susie from the Kirby series after she's turned into a human. @wolfgangbirdie.bsky.social would be delighted. #art #drawing #sketch #fanart #Susie

This is my take on Susie as a big beautiful (and human) woman. A couple of Haltworkers accompany her as they all walk together. Haltworkers are around Kirby's height (eight inches, that is) and humans would be huge compared to Kirby and the other Dream Land denizens.

This is my take on a human Susie in her weekend outfit. She is eating some ice cream while a Haltworker sits across from her with a cup of tea.
I expected this alt to come from some obscure and unexported Japanese Kirby media, but apparently there has been no mention of Susie's weekend outfit before or since its appearance as a mask in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. Also, I took some creative liberties in finishing the outfit because the mask naturally doesn't show the alt from the neck down.

Movie night just took a turn for the weird. #art #drawing #sketch #fanart #MST3K #Persona

In the main room of the Satellite of Love, the usual human host is replaced by Hikari from Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. Crow and Tom Servo greet Hikari as she gives a flustered look to the camera. A megaphone is on the table.

The moon is lovely and so are they. 🕷🐌🌙 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

Ananse and Numekko are walking together on a moonlit hill. They are wearing a grey hoodie and a blue-colored light jacket, respectively, in addition to their usual clothes. Numekko is blushing, partly because of the cool evening air.

Hoovering the place up in style! 🦧🦊👻 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

Prime-8 and Kumiho are using portable vacuums to clean a room of dust... and ghosts!
Their dialogue goes:
Prime-8: Listen, I am an ape of science, but that does not mean that I cannot deal with the paranormal.
Kumiho: You don't suppose these pesky ghosts haunt houses because their rooms haven't been cleaned?

Tis the season for pumpkin spice! 🐌🍅🥤 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

Voodoll is preparing some pumpkin spice flavor smoothies by taking slices of pumpkin pie and blending them, while Qwill and Numekko sample the finished smoothies. Various implements such as an ice tray and some whipped topping lie scattered all over the counter.

It's the sage's turn to become a human! (I admit I did this after gifting @jaktroose.bsky.social my take on a humanoid Ribbon.) #art #drawing #sketch #comic #fanart #Kirby

What if the scene from the Kirby and the World Beyond trailer revealed that that the new sage character is human in shape and size?
The trapped sage asks Kirby, "A little help here, please?" When Kirby releases her from the sack, she draws herself to full height and thanks him, saying, "Ah, it feels great to stretch my legs again!" Remember, Kirby is only eight inches tall.

Hear me out: what if the mimic is NOT a chest? #art #drawing #sketch #comic #fanart #Frieren

A short comic showing Frieren being surprised and caught by the Mad Piano from the Super Mario series. As the ambush predator takes her into its jaws, she asks herself, "Why did I bother with getting up this morning?"

Most people would fear ghosts or snakes or spiders. Slug girls have a fear of frogs instead. 🐌🐸😱 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt #fear

Poor Numekko is frightened by a few frogs on the floor and leaps into Kumiho's arms. (With her being a slug girl, can you really blame her?) Kumiho struggles to hold up and her glasses have been skewed from Numekko pressing against her face.

An introduction to Qwill and his OC friends. ✏️⭐️🖊 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt #OCsky

Qwill
Hi there! I'm Qwillpen Shaw, or just Qwill for short. My hobbies include playing video games and drawing silly little guys. Even as the world goes crazy, I draw in my own style because I don't need AI's help to be awesome!

Ananse
Age: 31 / Height: 183 cm (6'00") / Weight: 144 kg (317.5 lbs)
The name's Ananse, and you won't find another person with cunning and web-slinging skill like me! Yes, I'm trickier than a belfry full of cobwebs! Lots of neat characters like myself and my dear Numekko are friends with Qwill.

Numekko
Age: 27 / Height: 160 cm (5'03") / Weight: 78 kg (172.0 lbs)
I am Numerinu, but please, call me Numekko. I hail from a long-lived clan of slugs and embody emotional strength. I've charmed Ananse into not eating me, and we've been going steady ever since. Hee hee! Don't underestimate me!

Prime-8
Age: 46 / Height: 190 cm (6'03") / Weight: 110 kg (242.5 lbs)
Salutations. I am Prime-8. Would you believe me, that I used to be an ordinary orangutan until I acquired a misplaced thinking cap and became uplifted? It's true! After getting the necessary degrees and licenses, I now invent devices that the world has never seen before.

Kumiho
Age: 30 / Height: 170 cm (5'07") / Weight: 63 kg (138.9 lbs)
Hey people! I'm the mighty fox lady, Kumiho. Being highly attuned to the spirit world means I have many amazing powers. You don't want to be on the receiving end of my "Fox Fire" technique -- it'll leave more than a "sick burn"!

Voodoll
Age: 13 / Height: 100 cm (3'03") / Weight: 15 kg (33.0 lbs)
H-hi... You can call me Voodoll. Something went wrong when I was first created, and I got a pincushion for a head. I say that was a happy little accident, though. Beware if you are bad! I can cast mean curses, take a ton of punishment, and be super persistent. Being full of sand rather than flesh and bones does have its advantages!

William "Qwillpen" Shaw @qwillpenwas.bsky.social · last mo.

Taking a moment to relax, maybe... 🦊🍅⭐️ #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

Kumiho is sitting on one side of the love seat and trying to read a book, while Voodoll lies on the other side and Qwill reaches from behind to gently scratch her head as one would a pet.
She is not amused.

Nintendo is saving further details on Pokémon Winds and Waves for the next Pokémon Presents, which is to be expected. I still look forward to seeing more from Browt and its eyebrows. #art #drawing #sketch #fanart #Pokemon #PokemonWindsWaves

It's Browt, the Bean Chick Pokémon. In the white space behind it are some emotes.

They are going on a nature walk. 🐌🕷🍅 #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

Numekko and Ananse are walking together down a dirt path lined with a few patches of wildflowers. Numekko is carrying a parasol. Above the two of them, Voodoll is hanging off a tree branch and reaching for an apple.

The new girl on the block has been leaving people in awe. (Awe, awe) She's festive, feisty, and ready to blow you away! 🎆🎇 #art #drawing #sketch #fanart #MegaMan #MegaManDO

This is Twinkle Girl, the first new robot master boss revealed for the upcoming Mega Man game. She also happens to be the first female main boss since Splash Woman.
Mega Man Dual Override will come to all major video game consoles in the spring of 2027.

The uplifted ape Prime-8 is hard at work. With what, exactly? It's a secret! 🦧💻✏️ #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

My OC Prime-8 is writing some research notes with one hand and working a laptop with the other. The whiteboard has more notes, both written and stuck, on it. There are also a couple of unusual-looking security cameras above.

The wandering weaver Hornet brandishes her needle.
I pray that her journey to and from the Sea of Sorrow would be a relatively safe one. Pharloom is treacherous enough as it is!

A short comic involving tea, which I would take over drama any day. 🐌🍅🍵 #art #drawing #sketch #comic #OC #OCArt

In this short comic, Qwill and Voodoll wonder about people nowadays, when Numekko serves them some tea.

The dialogue goes:
Qwill: Doesn't it seem like some people want to make their lives so complicated?
Voodoll: I know! Why can't people be more... What's the word?
Numekko: Tea, gentlemen? I've brewed some.
Qwill: Ah, yes! "Be more tea!" Much thanks for this, Numekko.
Numekko: You're welcome.

Kumiho proves that she's a mythical creature! 🦊🔥⭐️ #art #drawing #sketch #OC #OCArt

My fox lady OC Kumiho is launching some purple flames from her fingertip. Her ability to manipulate burning spirit energy like this is her "foxfire" technique.
