He’s a shamrock shake now.

this art piece is for @thee-horrors for the @jrwi-art-exchange!!!!!!!!

6. Do you have any ocs who started out as fan characters, or as adaptations of canon characters who eventually became their own thing? If so, what did their character progression look like?

well it is pretty obvious that ARCH started out as a shadow gijinka lol

i can't really find super old art, this is probably the oldest i have on me rn from 2022 (im too lazy to get my external drive for the 2019 art but its basically just. the same but. worse anatomy, worse outfit and more "normal" hair)

as u can see hes already pretty established from here, at least in his human form. never changed tooo much, i just refined my art style and got consistent with how i part his bangs

below is a shadow gijinka for comparison...

drawing of arcah in that same year (2023)

2024 i start experimenting w his dragon form and going further with making him his own thing (while ofc keeping all the juicy shadow backstory stuff that i love)

he def does not have any white or grey stuff anymore, also he's feathered now (at least partially)

this is from 2025, more accurate but honestly i STILL am struggling with designing his hybrid form

im sketching lots in my sketchbook to practise but hhngng....

13. Are any of your ocs enemies? If so, why are they opposed to one another?

😌💖 that is lovely to hear
