#oc apprentice

My Apprentice SI/OC for @a-real-magical-girl uwu* so i spent forever trying to find the original drawings but because they’re so old all of those sketchbooks are in storage T-T i had to redraw over one of my more recent redesigns of her and try to remember as best i could what the original design was. i did the redesign some time in the 2010’s

original redesign

her name is Snowbird and she has Ice powers. The redesign was my attempt at making it more original but inspired by Slade rather than an almost exact copy like the original one was 🥲😅

please don’t feel embarrassed about that at all! even batman was just an OC at some point and even the comic writers themselves self insert all the time! it’s totally normal and cool to do😎👉🏼👉🏼 I’ve even got comics i’ve done lol they’re not very good and mainly just me irritating my favorite characters(aka slade💀) and my stupid humor but they make me happy and that’s what matters 😊 I’ve been thinking of posting them for a while just never felt like having to scan and fix em up lol

hey i know this is three years late but i'm feeling nostalgic

8: Did they have pets as a child? do they have pets as an adult? do they like animals?

Tamar did not have pets, her family was semi-nomadic and she had other things to worry about. as an adult, she prefers children to animals, although she appreciates how she's safe from enchanting animals when she speaks

Martín found his dog Ciccio (brown and black terrier) on the street when he was a teenager. He still has him, but he's old and fat after living at the Gioia family bakery

18: What's their favorte genre of: books, music, etc.

Tamar loves poetry. she'd be into shakespeare, rumi, and pablo neruda. when she and muriel visit the palace library, they spend hours curled up in the corner, reading poetry as Tamar's magic makes te words come to life.

Martín plays guitar and loves any kind of lively music. he's also a fan of theater (he won't admit it but the dramatic romances are his favorite). man can't sit still long enough to read a book.

23: Do they have a good memory? Short term or long term? Are they good with names? Or faces?

[cries in Arcana apprentice]

Tamar has a decent short term memory, but long term is still cloudy for her. she asks for patience often as her body still adjusts to regaining and retaining memories. her muscle memory is fantastic, though.

Martín is his mother's son and has the memory of a performer. rehearsing lines and blocking scenes are skills that transferred to his life post-Plague. while he's not an avid reader, he has hundreds of recipes memorized. and having an affinity for faces helps with his glimmer magic.

whos obssesed with the arcana lately? who could it be? certainly not me. uh-hu. nope. never.

Coloured versionnnnnnn

And I'm prouudddd :))))

Happy (late) Eid Mubarak to all my Muslim friends.
