oc asks

ty veeloved!!

what does your OC lie about?

many little things, often about her own well-being so she can maintain the image that she’s the strong pillar for everyone else to lean on: she got enough sleep, oh that injury doesn’t ache that bad, she’s doing fine! (this is why she butts heads with thancred for YEARS because they both do this and call each other on it).

what's a moment your OC is ashamed to remember?

(implied hw spoilers but safe for you!)

Felix in A2 for anonymous!

HI HELLO i'm still alive!!! and here i am a week late with another silly scribble makin ocs kiss for @veeples's birthday! <3 Arlo and Faustus should kiss. Faustus deserves a big goth bitch to gently torment💕

title from "All This and Heaven Too" by Florence + The Machine (as covered by City in the Sea)

"You know," Faustus says slowly, smirking, "I thought Tina was exaggerating about the puppy eyes..."

Said puppy eyes very quickly narrow, and Faustus is on the receiving end of perhaps the sharpest glare he’s ever experienced.

It’s cute that Arlo thinks that’s going to do more than delight him. For a man who seems like such an impenetrable brick wall at first glance, he sure is easy to rile up.

He’s still untying his flats. The black ribbons (dramatic bastard) flow like dark water over his fingers, mimicking the ribbons of dark hair curling over his shoulders, half-hiding his face except for those piercing grey eyes, framed with sharp eyeliner and smoky shadow. Faustus still isn’t sure how to ask if he can play with his hair.

“You can just ask, you know,” he continues, since it seems like Arlo is content to give him the silent treatment while he fights with the ribbons laced up his calves. Faustus wiggles his fingers pointedly, the tips ghosting lightly against the line of the taller man’s thigh, warm through his snug tights.

His spine stiffens, before he hunches over further, and a dusting of pink touches the shell of his ears. Faustus smirks. Too easy.

"Don't," he warns, and the ember catches this time.

His smile is something bright and half secret, burrowing under her skin and into her chest. He leans to kiss the side of her neck, lingers there, like he’d topple without her.

So he sits, swaying on the edge of his truth, still afraid of becoming.

“So…” Alma says with the sort of breezy detachment that, coming from her, can only be feigned. She pulls two mugs off the metal rack in her tiny kitchen: the first is covered in a pristine white glaze, sporting a slim handle meant for a sophisticated hand, and reserved exclusively for visits from her mother; the second is a well-loved novelty mug with a chip in the rim and cracked black glaze, roughly drawn flowers surround a tombstone graphic that reads ‘R.I.P. ME’ —Alma’s favorite. “I’ve been thinking.”

Each “thank you” comes with red cheeks and the grin he’d die for, and he asks if she needs anything else so he can have another.

Something is hiding in plain sight and she can’t figure out what it is. It tugs at her, gently, like a hand sliding into hers to guide her toward a place she already knows.

Nothing in this town is sacred. Not until Mason offers his accidental blessing, fumbling through feelings to give unintended meaning to the familiar and mundane. A loaded stare—sharp, dark eyes searching for her—from across the station; lips and bodies entangled in the quiet of her apartment; an arm over her shoulder through the square and Alma glows.

[squints] You.

11. Warm or cool colors?

It depends on what mood I’m going for, but I usually skew towards warm colors.

14. What was something you used to draw a lot that you don’t draw as much anymore?

My tiefling character, Quiet! He’s from a retired D&D campaign but I’d love to bring him back for future projects. Here are some images of him:

18. How long have you been drawing? When did you officially “declare” yourself an artist?

So I never really drew much growing up. I would doodle here and there, but I didn’t start drawing For Real until like seven years ago when I started in my college art program! That was when I was like “okay yeah I guess I’m an artist.”

If anyone has any questions about what a college art program is like, I’m happy to answer!

Thank you I guess. 🙄💕
