Major redesign on one of my OCs, Winston! F2U base by: -buck3tt- Alt desc for some info on him! #furry #anthro #anthroart #digitalart #avesharkness #furryart #ocart #ocartist #oc #originalcharacter #basefill #canine #canineoc #wolf #wolfoc #artistsofbluesky #pirateoc
He’s a Pirate / Smuggler, his father was once a pirate himself before he settled down and left the life behind. 

Winston is your modern day pirate, loves to embrace the stereotypes associated with them. He has a good sense of humor, loves to crack jokes at the worst times. 

I changed his last name, too. - originally Quill - 

He comes from Romanian descent! 

The Avenging Chains made an alliance with the pirate so that they can get smuggled supplies and equipment to their base and the innocents they protect and give shelter to. Lincoln Sheppard was asssigned this task, and through this the two became close.

Winston has a knack for getting himself into trouble and getting criminals after him since he likes to steal from them. 

(I didn’t draw the wolf skull btw, I just used a transparent image of one and then adjusted it to fit as a tattoo 😭)

Anaximander, Son of Ares [F2U base by AncientDrawings] Alt desc for info on him! #digitalartist #avesharkness #furry #mlpoc #mylittlepony #digitalart #artistsofbluesky #furryart #mlpart #horse #horseoc #mlpfandom #mlp #demigodoc #fandomoc #demigod

It is a rare sight to see Gods produce offspring with the Horses of Graeco. Yet, Anaximander is one of the examples. 

His father being the God of War, had abandoned him at birth, but held expectations for him. 

It is his mortal mother who instilled a spirit, one of compassion and mercy. 

She would tell him tales of his father, Ares. A time before where he may have been compassionate too. Where he did care for the people and didn’t strictly follow the wars of Mortal Land. 

He’s humble, having worked as a common working horse in Graeco. 

He knew being a Demigod though, that there would be a time where he’s called upon by the Gods to assist them.

———

His first mission by The God of War - his father - was to travel to the City-State. Diogenes. Find the sorceress Kassandra, and execute her. Fulfill his duties as Demigod and kill a powerful pony before it’s too late. 

Taken aback, having never killed anyone before, Anaximander pleaded to offer her mercy but was struck by his father. As if he was offended beyond belief. 

Calling him a disobedient child who lacks the courage to do what needs to be done. 

He chose mercy to Kassandra. A big risk. For he knows nothing of her, if she had done irreparable choices which would condemn her. 

But he didn’t care. He cared to give a second chance, to save her from the darkness. A darkness he had internally been dealing with since he was a colt. 

His relation to Kassandra on this was personal. 

She relented, the words of Anaximander spoke to her. And she seized all her magic on Diogenes. Exiling herself from her home as a punishment. 

This choice infuriated Ares. 
He was cursed to live the rest of his life with mortality. To die a mortal death by Ares. 

Five years living with this curse gave him permanent scars.

When Kassandra redeemed herself to the Gods, they lifted the curse off Anaximander. 

They argued that Ares’ rash punishment should have been reserved if she failed to change. Not by offering mercy to her.

I ended up changing his armor design. Since Eutimios is from Horaios, he wouldn’t be wearing red and gold armor. 

I based the redesign off the Athenian Warriors in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey - I so love this game -. 

Simplified his design in this basefill! This is him with partial armor on 

The change from red/gold to blue/iron also suits him better imo 😌

The Adrastan King, Melanthios! (F2U base by AncientDrawings) Alt desc for info on him #digitalartist #avesharkness #furry #mlpoc #pony #ponyoc #mylittlepony #digitalart #artistsofbluesky #furryart #mlpart #earthpony #mlpfandom #mlp #kingoc #fandomoc
(Adrastos is Sparta, like Horaios is Athens!)

Forced by his parents when he was a colt, to fend for himself out in the wilderness. The harsh lands guarded by beasts of nature, Melanthios who was abandoned and left defenseless, had no way to get back to Adrastos. And with no help from the gods, he was left to fight for survival. 

Dealing scars all across his body, a tail which was half chewed and bitten off. And chewed ears, he learned just how merciless the world is. 

And with no protection, no love and no empathy. It has sent him down a very dark path. One in which his parents punished him with under the guise of “making him strong”. 

When he finally returned after years of surviving alone, he had to be educated to fit back into society and while his parents were “proud” he survived and proved himself a formidable fighter, Melanthios only sought to kill them and avenge himself in how he was treated.

He learned what he needed to, masked his true feelings on his parents until he truly felt ready to do what he had to. 

When they were both killed at his hooves, the prince - now heir apparent to the throne - became the King. The Adrastans dared not challenge him, for his aggression and lack of remorse put fear into the people. 

Melanthios’ mentality while horrible for a pony in his position, is at least “understood” in part by the Adrastans for the actions of his late parents. 

It wasn’t a choice he had, it was something he was forced into. There was no talk of their son, no worry if he may have died. For how his parents led, it was very questionable. But they did love their people, but leaned too far into the old ways to see the flaws it carries. 

Despite the sympathy, Melanthios’ actions as King may be devastating for the people. He had no positive role model, let alone a role model to aspire to. 

He could very well be a ticking time bomb.

⚔️ Kassandra of Diogenes ⚔️ She’s based off Xena: Warrior Princess ✨ (F2U base by AncientDrawings) Alt desc for info on her! #digitalartist #avesharkness #furry #mlpoc #pony #ponyoc #mylittlepony #digitalart #artistsofbluesky #furryart #mlpart #unicorn #mlpfandom #mlp #fandomoc
Kassandra is a reformed villainess who had much faith placed in her ability to change, by the very hero who’d been sent to kill her. Who, rather than do as they were told, refused to kill her. They believe in redemption, not vengeance. This faith opened her eyes to change.

She had once been a feared sorceress of Graeco.

Where ponies - especially males - trembled at the sight of her, and even now in her mid-30s - over ten years since those days - she still has fear from those she has now sworn to protect.

She knew her redemption will never erase her past. It won’t change what she had once done, nor will it cleanse her of her mistakes and purify her.

Regardless of how some still view her, she is adamant on being a protector and writing her wrongs going forward. She is in control of her life, and she chooses to be a warrior of light. 

She uses magic to use her swords as it’s practical and allows her to be more effective in battle. 

Kassandra’s redemption was an unexpected outcome from the Gods of Graeco. They had expected her to falter, to fall on her promise of change. But instead, we’re proven wrong. 

She’s a lesbian 💜

Lenci Aeneas 🏹 (F2U base by AncientDrawings) Alt desc for info on her! #digitalartist #avesharkness #furry #mlpoc #pony #ponyoc #mylittlepony #digitalart #artistsofbluesky #furryart #mlpart #pegasus #mlpfandom #mlp #fandomoc #princessoc

Her cutie mark came to her when she found her talent through Archery. Like her late mother, she has a bow for a cutie mark. Her arrow however, is much different. Representing her compassion and capacity for love, she carries her heart on her sleeve for those she feels deserves empathy and compassion. 

—————-

Lenci knows of her brother’s secret, one of the only people Athen fully trusts to confide in. 

Athen has expressed to Lenci, that he is afraid to be outspoken of his love for men. He is worried for how his father, the King will react. If he’d be forced to marry a woman to “carry on” the family gene. To be put in a box and expected to be happy. He can’t pretend feelings exist when they don’t. 

Lenci has shared in her brother’s inability to express himself. Similarly, she feels afraid to express that she is not just a Princess. She is capable of fighting, she wants to do more than sit in the city being just some pretty face. She is not a little girl anymore, and she should not be underestimated. 

This close bond has allowed them to keep each-others secrets, and find a way to traverse their feelings and aspirations despite their roles as Prince and Princess. 

She is very supportive of her brother, and has seen how far he’s grown since she was a filly. 

He has gotten kinder, more loving. She has suspected in looks shared by Athen to Eutmios, that he has strong feelings for him. 

Always a little sad he couldn’t outright tell him the truth, sad to see Athen’s worry when he’d go off to battle. 

When Athen finally forced the King’s hand and had Eutimios assigned as his protector, she began to see her brother’s workaround in expressing his feelings - taking a big risk. Not knowing what Eutimios would one day feel about the truth -. 

It was her own choices that gave her brother motivation to try. She never backed down from her love of archery, so he shall not back down for the love he shares. Regardless of the outcome.

Whirlwind Hellfire - Wielder of Hellfire - (F2U base by surethingsbubz) (Alt desc for some info on her!) #digitalartist #avesharkness #furry #mlpoc #pony #ponyoc #mylittlepony #digitalart #artistsofbluesky #furryart #mlpart #mlpfandom #mlp #fandomoc #alicorn
Whirlwind was a victim to a dragon attack in her early years. Led into the forest alone by dragons who had been friendly to her and open for a friendship, Whirl was really being led into away from other eyes. 

Then came the attack which had blinded her right eye and blasted with fire on her right side of the face after she stumbled back in shock. 

Left for dead and laughed at for how “weak” and “easy to trick” she was, Whirlwind suffered the tears and hurt in her heart. She was found by a fellow pony not long after and taken to the hospital in one of the pony villages. 

A betrayal of trust in non-ponies would seclude her. She never knew her parents, but she’s been suspected of being illegitimate royalty due to her wings and horn. 

Her fillyhood after the attack was met with either mockery from other fillies or fear at her blinded eye and scars. She grew to hate socializing from then on, believing every pony is talking behind her back and see her as a freak because of what happened.

She became fascinated with fire, which she didn’t understand at first. Fire is what harmed her, yet something about the flames offered her comfort. Acting out she’d catch things on fire, watching the flames take over what it got to. 

During this, her cutie mark came in the shape of a whirlwind fire. 

In an attempt to correct her pyromaniac behavior, she was put into magic studies. 

And this did keep her away from starting fires. But put her in a worse place mentally.

Wanting to become powerful and capable of defending herself as well as enacting revenge against her attackers, she found magic to be the perfect weapon. 

It wouldn’t be long before she began to dig into dark magics in secret. 

This slowly corrupted her mind, believing no pony could ever genuinely love her and looks sometimes given by her foster parents, made her willingness to accept she is the only one who could ever truly love herself.

„Ce sunt eu pentru tine decât un muritor decorat cu iluzia importanței?”

“What am I to you but a mortal adorned with the illusion of importance?” - Draco 

„Un muritor care îi îmbogățește pe acei puțini aleși ai iubirii tale împodobite. Soarele pentru eclipsa mea.”

“A mortal who enriches those chosen few of your adorned love. The sun for my eclipse.”  - Calypsing

| She had never believed herself capable of stooping to the earthly expectations of love and companionship. 

| Her mother is the Goddess Luna, whereas her father was once a mortal who farmed. A pony as simple as they come, who died of old age before she could ever get to know him. An immortal soul which she has, disallows her the ability of mortality and growing old with grace with that in which she loves. 

| Or rather, what she could have loved as a father. 

| Content with being The Bringer of the Eclipse and Guardian of her Goddess Mother, Luna and the ponies which she watches over at the night. Calypsing thought no further of a lover or a companion. Luna is her companion, and she watches over her daughter every night. 

| This belief was challenged when she first got into official contact with Draco Dacian. The more she came into contact with the Crown Prince, the more she found a tenderness towards him. A man who has a hard shell, who is fearless and resilient in battle - has in his heart, a softness of his own -. 

| Tenderness which she shares, she gets only glimpses back from Draco. Though those who know him through The Emperor and on the battlefield would dare not believe he could expel a tenderness. 

| The Goddess Clementia watches over the Romans with forgiveness, mercy, salvation and many other things. 

| It seems, that while he yet lacks full empathy. Clementia has granted him a visage to deepen it. While The Emperor’s warriors had been tasked to guide him toward a better mentality, it seems in his connection to Calypsing that it is her who broadens such missing links of empathy.

The Demigoddess & The Crown Prince (F2U base by AncientDrawings!) [Alt desc for info on them!] #digitalartist #avesharkness #furry #mlpoc #pony #ponyoc #mylittlepony #digitalart #artistsofbluesky #furryart #mlpart #mlpfandom #mlp #fandomoc #earthpony #princeoc #demigoddessoc #shipart #ocship
| Calypsing does not allow any mortal to see her without her cloak on. To see her without it, is seen as disrespect. For one to see her without it, displays a strong connection to a mortal and that they are important to her. 

| Draco’s willful and fearless soul had earned the respect of the Demigoddess over time. He is not like other mortals she’s met, nor is he easy to read.

| Like other men she’d seen in the past, they seemed guided by basic instincts. Nothing in which stands out to her, they are led by man driven desires. In ways she understands is expected, and doesn’t necessarily fault all men for this. It’s a very mortal reality.

| Yet with Draco, he is different. His focus despite being a Warrior and despite being The Crowned Prince, is to his ponies and protecting them from threats. Humble yet fierce. Fierce yet honorable. 

| Draco is not prideful of war, he doesn’t believe in the “glory” of war. It is a necessity in order to protect his ponies. He leaves empathy behind for his enemies on the battlefield. Regarding his heir to the throne, Draco does not view the Emperor’s Palace as a fortress for himself and to bask in the spotlight of riches open to him. A man whom is committed to lead and serve, one who once struggled to lead now does so with authority. 

| To Calypsing, Draco is the mortal who is highlighted amongst other ponies. She values his will, his courage and his love for his ponies. Hallmarks of a future ruler that will prosper his kingdom - not exploit it and destroy its values -. Of course like any mortal he carries flaws, she knows this so for when she watched in the skies to see him begin his journey as a warrior and leader. He lacks core empathy, the ones it be reserved for are the ones most important. Yet, his inability to see the gray zone in the act of battle and war can tarnish his decisions.

Pepper Seeds! My first pony oc that I designed back in ‘23. Redesigned him some! ❤️💚🧡 (F2U base by AncientDrawing) (Alt desc for info on him) #digitalartist #avesharkness #furry #mlpoc #pony #ponyoc #mylittlepony #digitalart #artistsofbluesky #furryart #mlpart #mlpfandom #mlp #fandomoc #unicorn
Born to a family who are in the food business, Pepper became familiar with the different cultures associated among the foods he’d watch and one day help to make alongside his parents and older brother. 

His parent’s food did taste good, but there was always an underwhelming expectation when eating it. It doesn’t challenge the taste buds enough, it’s too safe. 

As he got into his teens, came his discovery of spicy food. 

He became enthralled and excited to make his own spicy food dishes. Though, afraid of judgment from his parents he kept this hobby to himself. Giving out free samples to other ponies, to see if they enjoyed the spicy taste. 

To his surprise, they loved it. It was tingling on their tongues, made them tear a little. But the taste was great, packed with flavorful seasoning and a spicy pepper taste. 

His talent for using spices gave him a cutie mark. His mane which was originally a dark had got it multicolored with green and yellow to match his love of spicy foods. 

Pepper has a food stand, “Shaking Peppers”. He distanced from his family’s business to have his own, though his parents weren’t so approving in his methods of cooking. They couldn’t deny it was a success. Finding room to understand that something they don’t personally like shouldn’t mean that every pony misses out on their own tastes because of it. 

——————

Facts:

His favorite type of peppers are: Jalapeño, Habanero & Shishitos 

He’s asexual and prefers platonic affection. 

He is a friendly pony, though awkward when it comes to carrying on conversations. 

He is nerdy about peppers, loves to info dump on the many types of peppers. The texture, Scoville and overall taste. 

Is unashamed to have a room with pepper decor, he loves the plush Shishito peppers lined up on his dresser. 

Like his mane, Pepper is vibrant. Upbeat with life, and excited to share his love of spicy food with other ponies and make new friends along the way!

The cool bat pony, Outsource ⚡️ F2U base by De4dsoulsp [Alt desc for info on her!] #digitalartist #avesharkness #furry #mlpoc #pony #ponyoc #mylittlepony #digitalart #artistsofbluesky #furryart #mlpart #batpony #mlpfandom #mlp #fandomoc
She is confident and calm under pressure. 

Outsource is fiercely competitive when it comes to video games. She will spend days playing one game just so - if she had lost initially - she can ask for a rematch and beat the other pony at the game fair and square. 

Her competitive nature does not make her willing to cheat. She enjoys naturally beating them, winning is enjoyable that way. 

Despite her electrical coat patterns, Outsource has no physical electrical ability nor magic. Her ability lies in hacking and being able to understand technology faster than other ponies. 

She retains information on tech fast, making her a natural at anything related to it. This is what eventually got her a cutie mark related to technology. 

Though basing off her primary interests, you’d assume she only enjoys tech related hobbies, you’d be wrong. 

Outsource enjoys flying, swimming and baking contests. Like many bat ponies, she has an affinity towards fruit. 

Where her friend Diminuendo, loves blueberries and strawberries. She loves apples and bananas. 

She has a fear of insects, and gets freaked out if any climb on her. 

Outsource doesn’t care what other ponies think of her. They can be scared and judgmental all they want, but they’ll be missing out on a cool pony to hang with in the process. 

She’s down-to-earth, geeky and energetic. Not much into books, she enjoys visual media like movies, shows and video games. Sometimes audiobooks, if it really catches her eyes. 

Despite her and her friend sharing little in common, they are really close. Having known each-other since fillyhood. 

She had been there for him when he felt outcasted in fear by other ponies. 

And he had been there for her when she questioned her interests in technology and not being “normal” like other bat-ponies. They helped each-other through their personal conflicts. 

While she isn’t a fan of books, she enjoys listening to Dimi geek out about what he’s read.

Juniper 💜 Alt desc for a little context! #furry #anthro #anthroart #digitalart #avesharkness #furryart #ocart #ocartist #oc #originalcharacter #charactericon #bunny #bunnyoc #rabbit #rabbitoc #artistsofbluesky #redraw
This outfit is loosely based off his look from the artwork Labyrinth made back in 2024 when Juniper was depressed and Goopy had been by his side. (Now non-canon)

I think his fur color mixed with the darker outfit compliments him better. It brings out the blue in his eyes and the purple in his hair better imo! 

(I am trying not to be biased with turtlenecks, they’re just so fun to draw 😭)

It’s my birthday! And I’m officially the funniest number, 25 🎉 Alt desc for some yapping 😌 #furry #anthro #anthroart #digitalart #avesharkness #furryart #fursona #stoat #stoatoc #mustelid #digitalartist #furryfandom #artistsofbluesky #birthday #birthdayart
I am going to be seeing Coyote vs. ACME today, so I’m excited! 

This is my second birthday on Bluesky
And my fourth birthday being vegan. 

I’ve changed quite a bit in the last few years and despite hating growing up in the past, I’ve started to feel comfortable getting older now. 

And in adopting a positive mindset towards my birthday again. 

With re-engaging with old hobbies like reading, video gaming and all that in addition to the love I have for my characters and art in general, I’m hopeful for the years to come in who I might grow into. Find my own unique identity, improve further on my art, what characters I may make or further develop. What fandoms I might get into, there’s a lot to explore and it’s taken me a long time to really appreciate that. 

Watching The Odyssey fueled my love for Mythology and Ancient History, it’s gotten me into wanting to read whatever I can get my paws on. 

- You won’t notice it since my fursona has none - but I’m what some would call a certified nerd & geek 🤓👆
- due to having to wear eyeglasses - 

It is hard to believe I’m halfway through my 20s already! Still feels like I’m 21 haha 

If anyone shares my birthday, 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, TOO :D 
🎉🎂🎉🥳

I HOPE YOU HAVE A FUN DAY! 

And if you don’t share my birthday, 

HAVE A FUN DAY ANYWAY! YOU DESERVE IT ^^

Anthro Prince Draco ⚔️ The Jackal-Wolf! [Alt desc for some info on him] #furry #anthro #anthroart #digitalart #avesharkness #furryart #ocart #ocartist #oc #originalcharacter #charactericon #wolf #wolfoc #hybridoc #hybrid #canine #canineoc #artistsofbluesky #digitalartist #princeoc #charactericon
Brief Context 

[Anubia / Anubians are the fictional versions of Egypt / Egyptians. 
Jackals and Felines are dominately there but other species are Anubians as well]

[Doric / Doric Republic is the fictional version of the Roman Empire / Romans
Hybrids exist in Cat-Wolves, Jackal-Wolf and others. Due to the cultural and species diversity In the Republic]

His mother came from Anubia and had initially believed in the Anubian Gods until she met the then Doric Crown Prince in his travels of overseeing political affairs with the Anubians - Tasked by his father, The Emperor. To groom him into being his successor one day -. 

The two couldn’t be further apart in their beliefs and where they come from. But she became willing to convert her faith to the Doric gods, the two had a secret love in the beginning. But it became obvious to others that they were romantically involved. 

After his father was killed by his closest advisor, he assumed the throne. Granting his love citizenship to the Doric Republic and marrying her soon after so she can be Empress. 

Draco is the result of their love, he’s half Anubian and half Doric. 

If his father and mother were not Emperor & Empress, he’d wager he would be discriminated against for who he is. His experience of being a hybrid has made him very defensive over other hybrids who don’t have the luxury of being royalty.

Like Zane, I merged parts of the human version of them into the main! 

| Bruce does not create his own Newspaper. Instead, him being fired from the city’s Newspaper inspires him to take matters into his own paws. By using the money he has, to found his own Private Investigation along with his boyfriend Kurt Robyn. 

| Being a Private Investigator gives him independence, allowing to fluctuate easier between his work and his personal life. And allow him to do things the corporations would never tolerate; getting the truth out, standing by his moral compass. Backed by Kurt, these two are together more than ever in the work environment. Allowing their relationship to flourish in both work and personal life.

| Of course they know when and when not to be romantically involved while doing PI. 

| Bruce has grown out his ear fluff, having lost interest in maintaining it. 

| Though not seen in its entirety, Bruce now wears a necklace with an arrow head as a pendant. It represents strength, protection and direction. And is also a subtle touch to his strong connection to archery.

This is a separate world. I love the AU MLP idea I’ve been building, so I’m expanding it into my own fictional world 🙌🏻

(No plans on abandoning the MLP Mythology stuff, ofc! I’m just giving myself the best of both worlds; ponies & anthros mwhaha)

So, the characterizations are exactly the same. But there are differences, such as:

While Myths & Ponies take place in modern time with Ancient Civilizations still continuing on in their lands, 

This takes place in a fantastical setting of the past. 

Rather than modern times, this is around what would be in our history, the Middle Ages period. 

The ancient civilizations never collapsed - just like M&P’s -. 

A synopsis: 

A world known now by the mortals to be full of magic, gods and demigods. Prior history led to the formation of beliefs by the mortals, and it is through their faith that the once unknown beings, are present and actively involved in the world. 

The impossible, is formed into the possible by the beings above who deem it so. Hybrids which are biologically impossible, is forced into compatibility. Birthing the Thalanteans, Sirens, Pegasuses, Unicorns, and many more from other regions watched over by different gods. 

What would be infertile hybrids, become fertile. These biological laws are bypassed by only the gods who wish to experiment and expand the world with diverse species. 

Magic can be harnessed not be any mortal, but by those chosen. Some use it for good, some for bad while others are deemed outcasts whose morality is every bit mysterious as their identity. 

———-

The magic system is still being worked on. But the faith system, basic cosmology has been established. 

-Don’t have enough words to paste it all in either of these though 🥀 -

Gave Zane a new look, so he also has a new icon! And dare I say, this is his best one yet 🔥 [Alt desc for context on his change] #furry #anthro #anthroart #digitalart #avesharkness #furryart #ocart #ocartist #oc #originalcharacter #charactericon #rabbit #rabbitoc #bunny #bunnyoc
Zane had lost interest in Gothic aesthetics shortly after his move to Maine. It was there that he geared towards a country fashion, denim and jeans. For nearly three years - late 2024-2026 - 

Zane had been seen with this fashion. When he and Aero became involved with each-other. When he became an official bar owner.

He has also changed since 2024. Not for the worst of course, rather that he has reassessed his identity through therapy and self-reflection. The relationships he’s made since moving to Maine, and the partner whom he loves dearly. 

Believing for a long time that his gothic persona was the worst qualities of himself, it was the reminder of all he has chosen to leave behind. 

His self-reflection has proposed his fear of going back to gothic aesthetics implies his willingness to go backwards in his growth and to embrace his worst sides. The way he lived before getting healthy. 

As he has noted to himself. He is not the same man he was. He doesn’t feel broken, not in the same way he felt before anyway. He doesn’t see himself ever leaving behind the family he’s made nor the love of his life. These fears in his head are every bit irrational. 

With the encouragement from his family - especially the goth Addison Cover - Zane slowly gets back into the fashion. Only, wanting to go for his own take on it. He doesn’t want to represent the man he used to be, he wants to represent the man he is today.

(The only thing that will be different for main Zane is his fashion style. His life remains the same and has no correlation to Human Zane’s!)
