I'm obviously in the middle of a block, I'm averaging 1 upload a month, I'm working on stuff that's not art so today I'm looking through old art to feel good about myself and decided i want to post at least 1 thing i liked.

Purple cephalopod people is Tesh and his mom, Thweatted's ocs. I think the yellow guy was my attempt at designing his dad

2nd picture is a full body of Brooke, also @thweatted 's oc, bit sad i couldn't get to her twin brother, who I was gonna dress in a suit, but this pics so old.

Brothers Safari, Sabri, and Sakhri live with their parents in a cozy 2-bedroom apartment. Their parents immigrated to Threhan from their home country shortly after their second son was born and currently reside at Hivenest “Luxury” Apartments, a huge building and home to many other out-of-towners. The three brothers are all bilingual and insect themed.

SAKHRI SACHA

Eldest son, Sakhri, is the smart-aleck of the family. As the oldest he feels entitled to getting things first. He resents that his younger brother has wings while he does not and will sometimes tease him about it. Sakhri and his youngest brother have more in common with each other personality-wise and will team up against their brother for pranks and good-natured ribbing.

Sakhri doesn’t like to engage in activities that don’t directly benefit or interest him, and he is no stranger to complaining. He was briefly in the military but was dishonorably discharged because of his unusual hobbies. He has since been doing temp jobs, mostly labor and construction related.

Sakhri is a practicing witch. He will shut himself inside the laundry room/closet to engage in private rituals. His parents disapprove, and his brothers are a bit uncomfortable and embarrassed by it. Despite dabbling in the dark arts, his magic has yet to cause any real harm. In fact it has mostly proved to be helpful.

Sakhri's theme is the potato beetle.

SABRI SACHA

Awkward middle son, Sabri, in contrast to his brothers, is a quiet daydreamer. He is actually quite pensive, but he has trouble staying focused and his mind tends to wander. He doesn’t say much out loud unless he has an important point to make. His family’s used to this and understand him fairly easily, though others can find him to be a little hard to read. Occasionally Sabri is mocked because of his small stature, and at times he might feel insignificant and disconnected from the world. He can easily be offended and surprisingly vicious when provoked.

Sabri has a strong sweet tooth, and though he doesn’t eat a lot of food, it is mostly junk. He tends to go through sugar highs and crashes, alert and energetic at one moment and then ready for a nap awhile later. He’s attracted to tall girls and girls that remind him of sweets.

At first Sabri was inspired by his older brother to join the military, but things didn’t go as planned. After assisting the local police with the capture of some criminal schoolmates, they told him that the force could use more guys like him. He ultimately joined the police academy after high school and is the youngest policeman on the force. Among his fellow officers Sabri is known for being kind of spacey. He has the strongest friendship with Officer Denny. He has a pilot’s license and is a much more competent flyer than a driver.

Sabri is unique among his brothers for being the only one with wings, a rare occurrence and recessive trait that comes from his mother’s side. Traditionally in their culture wings, tails, horns, and any other uncommon physical characteristics are removed at childbirth. However, Sabri’s parents decided against it and left their sect for another in Threhan.

Sabri’s theme is the yellow jacket, though he can‘t stand actual bugs. They creep him out.

SAFARI SACHA

Youngest son, Safari, is opinionated and talkative, a bright and inquisitive elementary school kid. He’s a bit of a loudmouth. When he is with his quieter brother, Sabri, he tends to speak for the both of them. Safari gets along well enough with both brothers but has more in common with the eldest, Sakhri, and is easily coaxed into teaming up with him to mess with Sabri.

Despite that, Safari still looks up to Sabri and thinks of him as somewhat of a superhero. Some day Safari wants to fly around and fight crime the way he imagines his brother does, even though he doesn‘t have wings himself. He will sometimes pretend to be a caped crusader when playing around in the apartment.

My suitcase was packed so tight I could not have fit a scanner and lightbox in there if I wanted to, and I prefer that over cintiq clean-up. More scribbles it is.

In my head Tesh defaults to a sweater vest most often outside of his uniform now, which is weird to me because I feel like a sweater vest is not his style even though he dresses up in a vest and wears layered clothing. Initially that outfit and the side-part was his cousin’s and Tesh pretended to be him by wearing pale makeup and a similar thing, but I liked him in it so I let him have it. That’s how I see him out and about running errands during the daylight hours but not when he’s just relaxing or whatever.

Speaking of cousins, Sidmund’s taller, leaner, younger cousin Marten rocks his slacker outfit squid hoodie which I think would look kind of KKK if I ever colored him in it since he’s white-ish. I don’t particularly like or dislike any Sid and Marty Krofft shows or know anything about them but had paired the names together anyway. Marten is a sushi chef who gets himself caught up in and working for the fish-themed mafia. Things of course get worse for him when he tries to get out. He lives on 10Fin Island, where Tesh grew up. Their moms are sisters who are originally from another country and have foreign accents. Their father's life, love, and lady is the sea. They are brothers as well. They are not that close, like they’d see each other a few times a year growing up. Still Marten tracks Tesh down so he can crash at his place in 3Han to hide out.

Marten has a long list of food allergies, most things that aren’t sea food, that trigger different swollen and bumpy krakken-like transformations that he would take on and then destroy certain businesses that didn’t comply with mob. It would be mistaken by the public as attacks from sea monsters (why not, there are sewer monsters). He’d be treated afterwards by a mob doctor and have to recover. He gets to a point where he can’t take it anymore, not so much morally but physically. Marten has so many allergies, even non-food ones, that Biesel is convinced that maybe he was meant to be a sea monster and is living a lie. In the end everyone, except Marten, ultimately agrees and they set him adrift in the ocean on tiny wooden raft with nothing but the clothes on his back, but once a few toxic waste barrels start surfacing they figure they might be making things worse, so they just lock him up.

Since very early on Tesh has lived in a bachelor apartment in an old building downtown. I saw it as a dark place but with huge windows, like the lights were always off and it was lit from outside. There’s artwork on canvases stashed in a corner and one wall decorated with large abstract ink splatter paintings. Sometimes I’d picture Tesh sitting clothed in a bathtub full of his own ink. Later on I went more into his past/childhood where the ink would start to leak out of his hands so he’d have to drain them every once in a while to prevent that from happening. Since he already liked to draw and paint he began painting with his ink the avoid the buildup. After becoming a cop he also started using it as a projectile instead of the gun he was issued. He still carries a gun, he just doesn’t use it.

Tesh doesn’t have a car for a long time but eventually gets a purple pickup truck with huge wheels. He is the primary driver of the tiger-faced paddy wagon. He can also operate a motorcycle but doesn’t own one while Denny has a couple.

A couple weeks ago I rediscovered some stuff I had drawn in 2016, but only this one was in color. In hindsight I’d make her head more U shaped to better match her waist and hip area. Sandy was one of a few more thought out 3HPD female villains. Another was a colorless girl named Drummond who dressed like a drum major and had a rare condition where she could only hear/understand musical tones and pitches but could not make out sounds into words. She could not speak in words either but melodic tones instead, sounding something like a sad violin. She wore a hearing aid headset that she would often adjust to help her with sounds. Drummond was not native to 3Han (colorless people generally are not) and was tired of people there misunderstanding her and making no effort to, and they were being insensitive. She decided it'd be fun to get back at them during their big holiday parade and put her music related skills to use. Another villainess was the Apple Witch who lived in the 3H equivalent of Amish Country and was harvesting the non-vital organs of people that passed through for food. She also had a collection of spooky looking apple head dolls (google those if you haven’t seen one, not cute).

Anyway Sandy carries around an hourglass, sometimes strapped on her back. She also has multiple watches, time goggles, and infinity shoes. She rides a moped with an hourglass motif. She’d manipulate time in order to commit petty theft crimes without being caught, like taking things from a convenience store. Her reckless (and incredibly unnecessary) use of time travel often left behind “hot spots” and “time tears” where time had been altered and anyone or thing passing through those spots would be affected while they are within it. This is really what makes her a nuisance.

The 3HPD assume that the big hourglass was the source of Sandy's time shifting power. When when they first catch her they confiscate it but she is able to escape them through time regardless. OK, wrong there, so then they determine it might be the watch, or all the watches, or the scooter, etc. Each time they catch her they take an item, but she still slips away. At some point they figure that the only way to catch her is to time travel themselves. They each have different ideas on how time time travel works and split up to find their own methods to catch Sandy but end up with their own time traveling dilemmas such as being trapped in Clock World (a time warp), shifting between ages, being sent to the past, and being replaced by one's future self, all except for Biesel (who has been smitten with Sandy, or at least her rack, the whole time) who remains normal and in the present day but still isn't having much better luck. They are eventually able to reunite and manage to detain her once again. Not yet having learned anything from previous encounters Biesel wonders if maybe it's her corset that's the key, but before he can start to remove it she surrenders (as the corset is so tight it's practically holding her insides in place).

The guys just have to know how she is able to time travel, and she admits that there is no device. You just have to want it bad enough. Tesh is outraged at the absurdity of her answer. He refuses to believe it. No frickin' way! It's just not possible! Biesel wishes for it, nothing happens, and he quickly gives up. Then Sacha shuts his eyes tight and concentrates really hard and vanishes instantly. He just as quickly comes back in a huge powdered wig and pantaloons. He reaches for spare change out of Biesel's pocket and pulls out a coin that now has his wig-wearing profile on it and reads "In God we Sacha". Biesel thinks that it's funny how he never realized the guy on the coin kinda looks like Sacha with a wig on. During the wrap-up the guys keep saying "Sacha" instead of "trust", which they are saying surprisingly often for some reason, so Sacha disappears and reappears again to undo whatever he did and it's never spoken of again. Sandy rejects Biesel's marriage proposal, and she's hauled off to jail. The time tears still exist in the city though, so the guys decide to let science handle it. In other words, let's ignore it for now and deal with it later if it comes up again.
