It's poisonous... here's him going through it and pushing a pull door

Hii! I'm afraid there isn't much going on lore wise yet lol as i've made most of these ocs about 3 months ago. prior to this i was making just fanart pretty much without having any characters of my own. Anyway I'll try to put together some trivia🌷

The characters of focus are Savi (he/him) and Iro (they/them). Both were patients at the same hospital, the place where they subsequently met. Savi is a blood donor (research purposes) and Iro...well. they're tending to unfinished business related to one of the medical staff members

I created Savi on august 16th of this year as a companion for Iro but ended up fixating on him much more than expected. Here's his initial draft (he wasn't even meant to be a bird at first) and reference drawings. I've tweaked some of his features since then :P He's based on different birds of paradise species: Western parotia, King of Saxony and Black Sicklebill

Savi is a rather blunt and impatient person, not the most polite but rarely out of malice. Generally well-intentioned and very honest, has a strong sense of justice. Still a bit of a jerk. I think his body language would be pretty expressive. This bird is a transgender allegory who is also trans in the meantime

Him as a kid

Savi has a pretty large family: an older brother Mei (he's on the left), a younger adopted sister, and 3 parents. Here's my scuffed tree

Esen is the only parent who has a full design (except for clothing lol) and a name so far. They were made in early october with bird inspos being the German Owl pigeon breed and a common peahen

Iro is a character i made a little earlier (august 12th 2025) and who had somewhat already existed for a while. They're heavily based on my main Sky: Children of the Light avatar but i made them into an actual oc only this year... I think I've gotten very attached to this look. I barely ever play the game anymore

Anyway here's what they look like now yay (the first sketch is from september, Iro's haircut is different now)... they're a little shapeshifter thing. I still haven't figured out the palette for them unfortunately

Iro is curious and rather timid. Excitable around people they're close to and are a bit clueless in social situations. Doesn't value self much but prefers to ignore that thought. There's an air of unease around them. Oh and they're transmasc also

As for breakfast...Savi would love something sweet he likes honey and condensed milk a lot. he'd enjoy crepes or a toast, whatever he can get drenched in honey

Savi - pistachio

Bikem - doesn't eat a lot of sweets but would enjoy lime ice cream

Iskander - adds syrups and jams to plain vanilla, favorite is blueberry

Esen - crème brûlée and chocolate chip

Thinking... i think Savi would enjoy small wooden spoons, he is a bit of a glutton but likes to take his time with food. likely chews on them

whats going on with ur freaks this time

hello!!! yes sorry i barely posted anything mostly because i am currently at my parents' house.. ive been here for the past 3 months but im going back to my place in the end of this week...i also couldnt draw because of my long art slump that had finally ended sometime in april. Ive been doodling in my sketchbook in the meantime, here's a small collage

(context: whenever a human goes into water with a leopard seal the seal would do threat displays you have to act calm and not react when this happens so you dont seem like prey theres a few videos on this topic)

honestly i think most of them would be clueless none of my birdies belong in such waters, but they are cautious around animals. Iskander (sorry i barely have art of him) might freak out and freeze from fear which could work im assuming lol
