Girl help I’m rapidly descending into OC hell again

Awe thank you for saying so!!

This is a tough one to answer concisely because JJ is one of my older OCs - he’s been kicking around since like 2004. He’s one of my more complex characters bc he’s nearing like 2 decades of character dev (oh god).

He’s outwardly super mean and prickly - he’s got a lot of walls up. He comes across as non-compassionate a lot of the time. He’s very “sticks and stones” mantra energy, and expects everyone else to be the same; he’s highkey insensitive, and stubborn about it. But he’s also very good at coming in clutch and helping people, in pretty selfless ways, when situations are dire. Something about him seems to draw in people in crisis.

He’s a magic user in a paranormal investigation group full of magic users - and he’s one of the worst ones at his job. Just like…he lacks the natural defence/immunity the other people in his group have against paranormal attacks. Which is super annoying for him.

He’s a grouch and a jerk but also very extroverted. Gets along better when he has his pals around. So he usssually has someone there with him when he can swing it. Gets lonely Real Fast.

He lives in his car - by choice. He used to live with his friend/found family, Roru. But they were a little codependent and JJ, nearing 30, was like “I am Tired of this Situation” so he moved out. They’re on good terms. JJ just needed to create his own space - and right now that space is in his car. Though he couch surfs a lot because as mentioned before - loves having ppl around to talk to. Not a huge fan of being alone with brain-thoughts.

AnyWay I could ramble about the lad 5ever but I’ll stop myself LOL. But here’s a link to his Toyhou.se bio - and if you click into his gallery you’ll see a huge pile of drawings from the past 4 years or so. (Sometimes I think about going through ancient sketchbooks and scanning in my suuuper old drawings but that would take long and also OOF old drawings. But I do like to document stuff so…maybe some day 👀)

2021 Sketchbook 16

I drew these in June, but had to queue them for now because of Art Fight. (This...probably applies to the next dozen posts or so tbh...shhhhh)

2021 Sketchbook 7!

Including concept stuff that I’ve taken digital definitely helps pad out these sketchbook posts a bit hahaha

2021 Sketchbook 8!

Currently facing a bout of digital-art block, but my sketchbook is getting filled REAL FAST.
