Make an AU where your OC is a vampire. It'll do wonders for your artistic motivation, trust - #starfetchers | #gangsona | #art | #oc | #originalcharacter

Artwork of my OC, Éliane Thorne. This is an AU design where she's a vampire; her antennae and wings are red/orange (the latter having holes and tatters giving them a sharpened appearance) and her clothing is form-fitting black framed with gold chains. She is floating in the air in a sitting position, holding a glass of wine - or perhaps blood? - and looking at the viewer with a smile on her face. Her long, wavy hair covers her right (our left) eye.

Artwork of Vampire!Éliane. She is lurching forwards and off to the left with an intense grin showing her sharp teeth. Her left hand is coming closer to the camera with claws out and a red tearing effect wrapping around her fingers.

First art post of 2026, featuring my OC Maddox :) This guy sucks tbh everyone should beat him with hammers - #starfetchers | #gangsona | #art | #oc | #originalcharacter

Artwork of my OC, Maddox Jett. This is from the waist up; he is looking at the camera with a smile and holding up his arms. Bright red strings are tied around his fingers as if he were a puppet master. Behind him is a dark void, with large, narrowed, and slit like eyes framing his head.

Writing stuff with my buddies again so that means my specialist schmoopie of all time gets yet ANOTHER outfit/design. This time she's a part of their band as a drummer :) - #starfetchers | #art | #gangsona | #oc

Ref sheet of my character, going by just Bee at this moment in time, with her outfit for an arc where she takes a break from running The Hive full time and is part of a band as their drummer. There are two versions shown - one showing a full body complete with the jacket she wears, and one showing off her torso with scars (this latter one also shows the makeup she wears during some concerts done by one of the members named Zoya). On the back of the jacket is the text "BADDEST MOTHER FUCKER IN THE BEEHIVE", which was something painted onto it by one of her other bandmates whose name is Percy.

This looked fun to fill out lol I cannot describe to y'all the physical pain of to this day *still* managing to draw on the wrong layer. Also I used to be SUPER DUPER bad with keymash file names, though I'd like to think I've gotten better about it in recent months. Now it's nonsensical words!! :D

Here's my proper contribution to Matryoshka fanart lol I think she and Queen Bee would be best bomb buddies ackshually :) - #starfetchers | #fanart | #art | #gangsona | #oc

Fanart of Matryoshka, a minor boss from the Star Fetchers: Escape from Pork Belly DLC. She is looking at the camera and holding up a sunset aroace flag while smiling. Next to this is a comical doodle of her and my character Queen Bee pointing at each other with pogging expressions. There is no text, but there are speech bubbles with small images implying a conversation is happening about how they relate to each other: Matryoshka is aromantic and asexual, Queen Bee is demiromantic and demisexual (in other words, both on the aroace spectrum), and both declaring their love for explosives and big booms.

Still writing out a lotta stuff for Bee... There's a few years where she straight up abandons The Hive and goes solo... and makes unexpected allies during this time, too. I can't STOP making outfits for her - or drawing her in general - ur honor my apolocheese . . . #art #oc #originalcharacter

Sketchy ref sheet of my character, going by just Bee at this moment in time, with her outfit for an arc involving another character called Maddox; this arc is where she abandons The Hive and goes solo. There is a fullbody, an upper torso crop showing her wearing a yellow jacket with black stripes (continuing the bee theme), and a note next to it saying that the hood is detachable.

Timeskip Queen Bee... or as she goes by at that point, Éliane. :) This was a revisit of an outfit I made for a prompt way back when in the Star Fetchers Discord server; decided to revisit it and make it a canon outfit she wears in her later years. . . . #art #oc #originalcharacter

Timeskip artwork of my character, Queen Bee/Éliane. In this outfit she is wearing a black suit with golden sunflower-esque patterning catching the light. Her hair is grown out quite long with streaks beginning to lighten and she has dark eye-shadow/lipstick. There is no shirt underneath, revealing her torso and some of her scars. She is standing with one hand on her hip and her other holding a lit cigarette.

Bonus nakey version because I don't have an actual reference done of him yet so this is all I've got to show his limbs and scars (also tbh I like how the pen shading came out don't @ me LMAO) I'll get around to making an actual ref sheet.... eventually.... maybe... idk.........

Artwork of my character, Maddox. This version has him in just undergarments; this is meant to be a placeholder limb/torso scar reference.

Grin @grinalbi.nekoweb.org · 08/07/2025

New character ecks dee Don't have much publicly available of him yet... except his name is Maddox Jett, he's a wasp insectoid, and he's got an unhealthy obsession with Queen Bee... and chaos. One day my friend and I will get our notes on this project organized LOL . . . #art #oc #originalcharacter

Artwork of my character, Maddox, a well-dressed insectoid. He is reclining in a chair (which is not rendered); his wings are spread open and his face is resting against his hand as he gives a smug look towards the viewer.

There is a very faint note next to the unrendered chair that humorously states: (How the fuck do chairs work)

I'm drawing for the first time in a while and also going HAM with lore for Queen Bee and the others... thinking about a timeskip/future version. :))))) . . . #art #oc #doodle

Bust doodle of my character, Queen Bee. The design is a tentative/work-in-progress version of what she'll look like after a timeskip that happens in the story my friend and I are writing. The most notable trait in this future version is the scar that crosses her now missing right eye and reaches across the opposite side of her jaw.

Current QB lore in a nutshell (no context)

Traditional pencil doodle of my character Queen Bee in a chibi/plush style sitting on the ground. There is a circle surrounding her with the text "THIS BEE IS DEPRESSED" in all caps next to it. Underneath are crudely drawn emojis.

Not doing too hot as of late, honestly. Had to vent out through art...

Vent piece of my sona Untime, curled into a ball and being pierced by bright red cross-like arrows. Their Binding Ring is broken and cracks start spreading throughout their form as they begin to deteriorate.

Version 2.5 of Queen Bee's ref sheet since I'm deciding to give her slightly more insect-like traits, plus bonus supplementary sketches of her limbs without clothing obstructing them. Hopefully this'll be the last time I tweak her appearance (says the FOOL)... . . . #starfetchers #gangsona #art #OC

Second, more sketchy ref sheet of Queen Bee. This one depicts her in garments that show off her torso and limbs, which are insect-like in appearance. There is a frontal body sketch from the thighs up, leg and foot detail, and view of her back showing parts of her wings.

A note points to the chitinous extrusions on one of her arms, saying: "Can trim/file down for clothes that need it; regrows fairly quickly."

A low opacity note next to the back view humorously states: "Pretend I know how to draw back views LOL"

Finally found the words to succinctly sum up why my fav characters in media end up being chosen plus the way I write out my own OCs

Screenshot of a Discord message I sent. The text reads: "My two favorite character archetypes: fucked up (evil) and fucked up (sad)"

New ref for Queen Bee. Will probably expand on this later when I'm not wiped from doing two refs in a row :') . . . #starfetchers #gangsona #art #OC

Finally finished a reference I've been working on for the past week or so. Say hello to Steeleyes! More info soon... when I actually, uh, write it. :) . . . #starfetchers #gangsona #art #OC

Reference sheet of my character Steeleyes. It shows him standing at attention, the back of his coat, details of his lower sleeves/gloves, his clothing underneath the coat, and his dual guns.

POV: You look over at Queen Bee who just demolished several blocks worth of buildings in one boom People liked this sketch on Discord so I decided to post it elsewhere with a touch more color. Having a lot of fun with the ballpoint brush I used for it . . . #starfetchers #gangsona #art #ocart

Wanted to keep working on this but I got hit pretty hard with a bout of sickness that killed any motivation I had so I might as well post what I've got. Will hopefully return to this to clean it up at a later date. Character featured is my oc Queen Bee. . . . #starfetchers #gangsona #ocart

Sketch of my character, Queen Bee. There are two copies of her on the canvas. The leftmost one is a colored sketch with a neutral pose facing towards the right; the rightmost copy is a greyscale drawing of her facing towards the viewer, grenade in her left hand and pin being twirled around with her right. Below her is a clipout of her shoes from an older reference sheet.

Alright, first one! Can't remember how I found this one, but a recent song I've been obsessed with is Deconstructing Self-Destruction by Killer Be Killed. youtu.be/_PZOVkU6gAc?...

Album cover for Reluctant Hero, by the band Killer Be Killed. The cover consists of a black-and-white image of a worn angel statue, with the title and band's name in gold.
