Please NEVER repost my art anywhere, not even with credit.

and if you wanna tell us more abt them aside from names, please do!!

I'm sorry it took me a while to answer this. Honestly, I was surprised there's people out there who are interested in my characters, haha. I got loads of doodles and drafts on my computer as well as a drawer full of notes, but for now I'll just share the names of the main three as well as a tiny blurb on each one.

Once I decide where I want to post about them in the future, I promise I'll tell more!

Matjes (rat)

Matthies, known to everyone as Matjes, lives his life as he pleases. He is cunning and a persuader, which often gets him out of trouble. He also makes acquaintances quickly and is the life of the party. He does not openly admit the problems that torment him daily and instead numbs every bad feeling with intoxicants, which breaks the hearts of the people close to him.

Jette (opossum)

Jette (who calls herself Jet) is a rebellious teenager who has decided that she needs to change the world. Somewhat naïve, she sets out to put her plan into action and only realises the dangers afterwards. She unintentionally tends to get herself into dicey situations, but is always able to escape them quickly - being a talented inline skater certainly helps. Although she doesn't shy away from anything and makes an effort to approach things positively, she keeps a secret that could get her in trouble.

Zehra (raccoon)

I’ve had this handle ever since I made my first art account on the internet, and I still hold it very dear but I feel like I need a change.

Over the past years I’ve developed such a complicated relationship with my art - I used to draw every day, it was the most important thing in my life, it was my favourite activity and kept me sane. But now that I don’t have a lot of time to draw anymore, I almost dread it, because if the outcome isn’t perfect (in my eyes) I feel like I wasted precious free time which I don’t have a lot of anymore. Year after year I try to give myself the push to just go ahead and POST something, but every year I can't bring myself to do it. I'm too shy, and in the end I'm sure no one will care anyway. Then I try to tell myself that it doesn't matter if other people react to it, because after all I draw for myself, but I have so many ideas and sketches, and I miss sharing them with others.

Tumblr was my favourite site, I loved the format and the tagging system (remember tracking tags?) and how interacting with other users worked. Now, everything I cherished about this site has been changed for the worse, especially the NSFW ban and tag restrictions. Most artists have migrated to other sites and my dashboard is dead, so I moved to those sites too, but I don't use them at all because I hate how they work. Everything is lost in the void after a day, searching for content sucks, and fandoms are attacking and cancelling each other over ridiculous discourse. I can't change it, I have to put up with it and adapt, but I've lost interest in really participating in fandom spaces like I used to. Instead, I want to focus on my own characters and stories, and I'll be doing that under a new name.

I haven’t thought about a new name yet but I’m not sure if I’ll completely move away from the “inky” part of my alias. Also, I’ll keep this account for posting fanart since I still draw that from time to time, and for content such as fan characters of excisting media (e.g. WoW).

Her name is Jette!

Why should I ever post about my OC lore if I can just produce dumb content like this and hope the story explains itself?

[PLEASE DO NOT REPOST THIS]

OC outfit request:

Rat and Mouse in these outfits

A few characters from my story. Some of them are very minor and some have a bigger role. These are just rough design ideas for them, I’ll most likely change them a bit later on.
