It's Hio's 13th anniversary!! 🎉🎊✨ My baby boy's officially a teenager! That's a little scary to think about!! Did you know I bought him only a couple months after he released? That means he's been with me all these years!! He's really been on a journey, hasn't he? 🥺 #YOHIOloid #PowerFX #VOCALOID

It's the VOCALOID YOHIOloid in chibi form! He is sitting very politely, glancing over to CUBI with a fanged smile. The outfit he's wearing is an alternative design made by his original illustrator, Sartika3091!

An anniversary design of KAITO featured in Project Sekai: Colorful Stage. He’s lying down in a sea of purple and white flowers, holding up a shining gold sphere and looking at it with an interested smile. Ribbons and flowers dance in the air above him, slowly drifting to the ground.

Hyper Ellie is happily playing around with a massive sword while her father, Hero Kai, looks on with a worried smile and tries to save her from falling. The striped background rotates between white and a gradient of green to blue. There are stylized stars all over the place.

An iteration of KAITO designed for Leo/need, a music group in the game Project Sekai: Colorful Stage, holding a heart-shaped container of chocolates. He's looking at whoever handed them to him in awe, as if to say, "Is this really for me?" Surrounding him are white glitter and hearts against a pastel purple background.

Kneeling on the ground is the iteration of KAITO designed for Nightcord at 25:00, a music group in the game Project Sekai: Colorful Stage. He looks down with a mixed expression. Flower petals and triangle-shaped fragments surround him in the empty sekai.

And there you have it! The final day has arrived! So was it all worth it? #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 30 outfit, a romper with a half skirt, a single long glove, an oni horn, and small wings. The design uses a reflective fabric that gives the appearance of a blend of white, blue, and pink, while the rest of the material used is black. Dotty’s fuchsia hair makes the pink stand out in particular. They beckon you with open arms and a wide grin on their face.

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

We're nearly through! Only one day left! 👏✨ #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 29 outfit, leggings with mesh fabric at the top, a romper with a heart-shaped cutout on the stomach and a diamond-shaped cutout on the chest, a belt with bat wings attached, and a headpiece that resembles horns. Two different shades of black are used for a majority of the design, but the detailing is a bright green that brings out the color of Dotty's olive green eyes. They look up in thought, a fist on their hip and another held up close to their face.

082

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

They look like they’re about to tell you they’re glad you made it to the party. 😭 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 28 outfit, a fashionable cropped jacket that has absolutely massive short sleeves, long gloves, a checkered vest that forms a heart shape when buttoned, and low-waisted pants with diamond-shaped cutouts on the sides. Most of the outfit is black and an off-white while the highlights use a bright purple, which is pretty close to the pink color of Dotty’s hair. Dotty stands with an open smile and arms spread wide.

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

We're almost at the end, but I'm not done playing around with dynamic poses!! 👏✨ #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 27 outfit, a leotard with an attached skirt and ribbons in their hair and on their side. A majority of the design is a dark shade of blue with a gradient of either gray or black. Dotty quickly turns to look behind them, the ribbons and their pink flick-up bob still in motion from the action.

051

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

I’m pretty proud of the angle on this one. 🥹 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 26 outfit, a fluffy off shoulder jacket, a corset one-piece with fluff around the hips, fox ears, a fox tail, and a collar. The design mainly uses white and a pastel blue, which brings out Dotty's olive green eyes, but the one-piece stands out as a striking black. With one hand on their hip, Dotty looks to the side in alarm.

071

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

I sketched the pose for this in advance and yet the intricate design meant I didn't save any time. 😭 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 25 outfit, a long sleeve leotard covered in straps, suspender leggings, a flowing cape, and a massive witch's hat. The color palette of the design is made up of light blue, bright blue, black, and gray. Dotty is playing around with magic, which has a purple hue that bridges the gap between the pink of their hair and the range of blues in their attire.

072

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

Another fantasy design! I love how Dotty looks in these. 🥺 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 24 outfit, a striped cold shoulder button-up with loose sleeves, a skirt with an apron, a tiara, and wing-themed decorations. A majority of the design is black and white with pops of color from blue jewels and Dotty's pink hair. Dotty politely stands with their hands folded in front of them, looking to be holding back laughter.

030

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

I didn't know where this one was going until the very end. 😶 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 23 outfit, flower-shaped accessories and a long sleeve unitard with a floral pattern and slits across the chest and shoulders. Dotty's pink hair is adorned with one large flower and one small one. The unitard uses a few different shades of gray while the flowers are a bright white. With one arm out and one hand pressed against their chest, Dotty appears to be voicing an intense emotion.

041

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

It's good to know that even with their hair covered up, Dotty is still recognizable... 😅 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 22 outfit, a corset one-piece, a large fluffy jacket, a detached collar, and a rabbit-eared trapper hat... all adorned with bows. The design is made up of gray, white, and lilac. Dotty looks bewildered at the viewer... The gray brings out the olive green of their eyes.

041

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

I'm starting to think Dotty's hair has its own way of expressing itself at times... 😂 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 20 outfit, a crop hoodie, a torn crop top, a fishnet undershirt, ripped short-shorts, belts, and a single fishnet legging. Their fuchsia hair pairs well with the fluorescent yellow. The yellow detailing of the design glows against the black. Dotty is making a rock hand sign with a big smile on their face.

031

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

I think this is the closest we’ve come to a lore-accurate Dotty so far… 🤔 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 20 outfit, a cape with a large hood, a detached bertha collar with a scalloped neckline, a corset top, a short circle skirt, and a hair accessory in the shape of a rose. The entire ensemble is made up of pinks and grays, so Dotty’s fuchsia hair blends right in. Their hands are clasped together, and their face is scrunched up as they plead.

051

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

I thought I’d mix things up a bit with a back view! 👏💕 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 19 outfit, a black crop top, a belt collar, faux fur around the shoulders, gloves with fur by the trim, two belts across the waist, and a short frilled skirt with a longer layer underneath. The entire design uses black with gray for the details and accessories, plus a slight purple gradient at the bottom. Dotty’s pink flick-up bob produces the brightest color in the image. They stand with their back to the viewer, looking over to the left.

041

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

The pattern on this one felt so floaty... I had to draw bubbles to match the vibe! 👏✨ #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 18 outfit, a one-piece swimsuit with detached sleeves and a thigh garter with a heart in the middle. The design shifts between black and a pink similar to the color of Dotty's hair. There are soft circles and hearts all across it. Bubbles float up from the bottom of the image, which Dotty looks down at in surprise.

0101

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

I’ve noticed that Dotty’s expressions have opened up more over the course of this… Isn’t that cute? 🥺 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 17 outfit, ripped leggings, a checkered skirt, a bra, and a flame-themed jacket with ripped sleeves revealing fishnet fabric underneath. The design mainly uses different tones of gray, which makes the orange details and Dotty’s pink hair stand out well against it. Dotty looks off to the distance, giving a big wave and smile.

051

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

I know it makes no sense, but something about this design feels nice and familiar. 😭 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 16 outfit, a leather dress with belts, spiky bracelets and armbands, a belt collar, and small ram horns. Their hands are clawed and discolored, adding a darker gray and a purple-ish pink to the black and light gray color palette of this design. Dotty's own fuchsia hair fits in with it well. They give a proud smile while showing off their claws.

081

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

There's an air of mystery to this expression... and maybe mischief, too. 🤔 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 15 outfit, leggings with flame motifs, a leather top and shorts, and a detached collar. This design also includes horns and wings sprouting from their head, large wings on their back, and a pointed tail to complete the set. A majority of the ensemble uses blacks, reds, and browns, but Dotty's personal features add a pop of pink and green to the mix. With the slightest playfulness, Dotty makes a shushing motion to the viewer.

071

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

I can't get over how pretty Dotty looks in this... 🥺💕 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 14 outfit, a sweater dress held together by ribbon, armbands tied up in bows, and a massive bow on the rear. The design is made up of soft grays and blues, which complement Dotty's pink flick-up bob. Not wanting to make eye contact, Dotty looks off coyly.

071

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

This outfit looks like it came straight out of the 2000s. 😶 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 13 outfit, ripped leggings, low-waisted short-shorts, a wristband, a crop top, a choker necklace, a friendship necklace, and chunky headphones. The design uses an assortment of greens and grays which have tones that work well with the fuchsia of Dotty’s hair. Cupping their headphones, it’s easy to tell Dotty is enjoying themself as they listen to the music.

091

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

If you're having a rough day, please imagine Dotty cheering you on. 🥺 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 12 outfit, a jacket with pointed shoulders, a visible bra, laced short-shorts, and leggings with holes in them. The fabric of the design is in black and red while the metal has the look of a sterling silver. Hands clenched into firsts, Dotty cheers while standing in a cloud of fog.

091

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

This has to be my favorite design so far!! 👏💕 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 10 outfit, a jester costume with pointed shoulders and frills. The design has a black and white palette. The only burst of color is from Dotty's fuchsia hair, green eyes, and the red makeup marks on their cheeks. Behind their hand, they hide a mischievous smile.

073

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

I love how this one makes Dotty look like the protagonist of a cute indie game... 🥺 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 9 outfit, a jumpsuit, hooded cape, baggy mittens that extend to their elbows, and leg warmers, all adorned with stars. The design’s color palette is a mix of black, white, and yellow, with an added pop of pink from Dotty’s hair. They gaze up in wonder as a star soars behind them.

062

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

I have no idea what I’m doing anymore, but I hope it looks cute. 😶 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 8 outfit, a sweater crop top with detached sleeves, a low-waisted skirt, and a number of bows. The accessories stand out due to their magenta color, while still pairing perfectly with Dotty’s fuchsia flick-up bob. The rest of the design uses two different shades of gray. Dotty poses for the camera with their hands under their chin, palms down, and a little smile on their face.

081

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

The heart-shaped butterfly bows absolutely bring this design to the next level! 💕✨ #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 6 outfit, a sideless dress with ribbons and butterfly-shaped bows. The clothing uses a mixture of black, red, and peach for its color palette, which is about the same level of saturation as Dotty's fuchsia hair. They're blowing a kiss at the viewer, and the hearts that have appeared are similar in shape to the many bows on the design.

081

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

It was at this moment that Dotty questioned what their life has come to. #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025’s Day 5 outfit, a fluffy white and pink dress with detached sleeves, a cat-shaped handbag, a cat tail, and cat ears. Let it be known that the design uses a soft, pastel pink while Dotty’s flick-up bob is a hot pink. They’re mimicking cat paws with their hands and, while smiling, they’re definitely not happy about it.

071

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

I've been drawing the first pose that comes to mind for these... and sometimes that serves as its own challenge. 😅 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 4 outfit, a short dress, shawl, and scarf. The design evokes the feeling of winter with its red, white, and black color palette. Puffs of cold breath can be seen in front of their face. They hold a steaming mug in their hands while giving an amused look.

092

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

The amount of times I've drawn this hand gesture... 😶 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 3 outfit, a cherry-themed short dress with detached sleeves, suspender leggings, and a choker necklace. Their fern green eyes pair well with all the bright red cherry accessories, while their pink flick-up bob makes an interesting addition to the design's overall black, silver, and red palette. Their hands are brought up into a heart shape and their gaze is soft and loving.

091

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

I fear I might've already peaked with this one. 😔 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 2 outfit, a frilly crop-top with detached sleeves, short-shorts, and plenty of bows. Their pink flick-up bob stands out against the design's cream, white, and black color palette. Their hand is brought up against their cheek, though their sleeve obscures most of it, and they wear a worried expression.

0123

Mx. RuK @mxruk.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

Do any of you remember my OC Fedot? I've started calling them Dotty. 🥺 #DressupTober #DressupTober2025 #OC #OCsky

Dotty in #DressupTober2025's Day 1 outfit, a bat-themed dress and jacket. Their pink flick-up bob matches nicely with the design's black and pink color palette. They're swayed to the side with one arm out and the other brought up in a closed palm. There's a sense of joy in their expression.

Hello, Bluesky! I'm a non-binary artist starting anew on the platform. I love drawing sparkly characters and using bold linework. If you're a fan of fantasy or simply the idea of catching special little moments, I hope you'll stick around! 💕✨

VOCALOIDs DEX and YOHIOloid in formal attire, dancing together. They're in a party setting, as they're surrounded by balloons and banners. DEX is the focus of the piece, holding hands with YOHIOloid who is partially off-screen. We see enough of the latter for his little emotes to be visible: a trio of hearts and a little exclamation point. Even though his face isn't shown, it appears he's pleasantly surprised by DEX's initiative. This piece was originally posted for DEX's 7th anniversary.

Heath and Nina from NILFRUITS' "Ironina" are against a dotted background. Sharp objects, such as knives, scissors, and swords, surround them. Heath stands protectively by Nina's side, while Nina looks at them curiously. This piece was inspired by the 35 second mark in the song's MV, which was made by Akashi, as well as the backgrounds and outfits seen throughout.

Rune Factory 5's Lucas stands outside with, presumably, one of the game's protagonists. His gloves are off and he holds their hands in his own. An icon indicates they're chatting away as he smiles warmly towards them. The glittering sun shines down on him as he's situated beside a building's exterior. This piece was originally submitted to XSEED Games' Fanworks of Rigbarth Contest.

Melli from Pokémon Legends: Arceus looks over at the viewer, a dazed and sleepy expression on his face. It is early morning in the Coronet Highlands. You can still see speckles of stars in the sky, which is turning from a darker blue to an almost mint. The snow is the same as ever. Melli's hair blows in the wind. Melli's hand is pressed up to his cheek. It seems he's been caught off-guard.
