That's so real, I love his design btw, I always love a proper purple baddie! Also I feel you complex characters are my favorite to dive into, they're so much fun to build and explore!

Thank you💞! Well I need to finally hunker down and make a lore post so my worldbuilding can be infinitely more accessible than what it currently is 😵‍💫

What's your favorite oc to draw/write for these days? :)

It's probably a healthy combination of giving them cute outfits and worldbuilding! Probably moreso worldbuilding these days, but I still love to accessorize. 💞

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 21h

Tysm!!! Love your characters too! 💞 I'd probably say Adam or Courtney. Adam is meant to me a combination of a band geek & a tyrannical warmonger, & I'm super happy with how he looks. Courtney has also been really fun bc there's so many ways to style a preppy girlie, & I love giving her new fits.

It's October 3rd✨️ I've been wanting to draw something for Mean Girls day for years it's one of my favorite movies and an inspiration for me, and so I decided to a redraw of this iconic scene! #oc #originalcharacter #digitalart #smallartist #ocsky #artsky #artshare #art #meangirls

My ocs Tyler and Ashley Maxwell at desks, Ashley is telling Tyler "It's October 3rd"

I've been doodling them a lot, and the more I do, the more confused I get on how much they actually hate eachother. Coco might think Cobalt is horrible, ugly, & stupid but he's 𝘩𝘦𝘳 shopping buddy! Even if he's scared of her #originalcharacter #digitalart #smallartist #ocsky #artsky #artshare #art

My ocs Coco and Cobalt in a dangerous boiler room setting. Cobalt is trying to fix a malfunctioning machine but is looking at Coco angrily, while Coco looks somewhat confused.

Went with these two characters because I made Ashley right after I watched the original as a kid, and her and Tyler have the most doomed relationship ever lol.

They're terrible to eachother, but they have the same taste in clothes, men, and are just very materialistic, so they have a weird understanding of eachother, and attempt to keep it cute 😭

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Lol that'd probably be easier for him. He's actually trying to do some repairs on faulty machinery, and Coco is bothering him, probably because she wants to go shopping.

Like genuinely, I'll be on google or Pinterest searching up men's fashion and it'll give me the saddest brown tops known to man. Most pf the interesting stuff for me is formal wear, that most of my male characters either wouldn't or can't even afford to wear 😭

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It's the way you're so right 😭

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Once again going through the "lovely" process of trying to give alternate outfits to my male characters that aren't just tank tops, hoodies, or hooded tank tops 😭 I want to do some fall themed pieces but a lot of the fits I see for men are ugly, boring, or just don't fit my characters very well.

No fr! I actively stopped watching tea channels after 2020, because they were literally just profiting off of covering and playforming people who don't deserve our attention atp 💀

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Lol that's what I'm wondering anyone with a search engine and common sense can understand he is a deplorable human being. I truly don't understand what else he needs to do to prove that. (Also I'm stealing yassified voldemort, I'm dead 🤣)

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I Genuinely don't understand how that man continues to have a platform when he has such a long laundry list of evil. I don't even understand how he had the time to do as many problematic things as he has in his life it literally never ends 💀😭

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Part of me really wants to do something with them since they all had dramatic ass stories of their own back in the day, but probably in a background capacity. I was also thinking about redrawing a few of them and maybe selling them as adopts, because I cannot be trusted with them myself lol.

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I genuinely had like 70+ different characters, and three stories (plus 1 danganronpa fanfic) in high school. Now it's just my current story and characters which I've had since I was like 8? And the only character outside of that story that wasn't scrapped was Coco for some reason lol.

150

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Sometimes I love to look back at the old ocs that I've scrapped. They're all really gross and ugly, but it's still funny to see which ones had impact on my current story and which ones were made to be shipped with someone (which was deadass half of them)

Like it's genuinely so annoying, I'll be staring at my screen over a comment I have zero issue saying irl 😭

I hate that conflicting feeling of wanting to do more to interact with other artists but then also being too shy or self-conscious to do so. it's gotten a little easier over time since I've been posting for almost 9 years now, but I still find myself getting into my head over simple interactions 😭

Emmet and Fawn's relationship is still going horrifically slow. Emmet has said a total of ten words during this tractor ride, and Blossom is having a miserable time third wheeling their awkward date. #oc #originalcharacter #digitalart #smallartist #ocsky #artsky #artshare #art

Did this on a whim last night to see if I still got it. I haven't made or edited pokemon sprites since early 2020, right before I graduated high school. I have so many assets that are just unused now bc I was so serious about making a pokemon fangame when I was younger, like I had fakemon for days.

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Ngl part of why I've been enjoying Cobalt so much is because I missed having pokemon ocs. Back in the day I actually used to have quite a lot of them. I had my own little fan region, fakemon, and rivals, and I used to love making sprites on MS-Paint lol, so it's kind of nostalgic for me.

Shadeorade @shadeorade.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Because I let the intrusive thoughts win I decided to shiny hunt Cobalt's team. Especially since I've been wanting to do an all shiny run of ZA. I'm trying to think of who his last two pokemon should be, it was a chikorita and a drilbur in my og playthrough, but idk how well they fit him lol.

Despite not coming from an established family Blossom has singlehandedly wormed her way into the Scotsdale elite. Sometimes she wishes Honza had a bit more decorum, since he prioritizes getting attention over class. #oc #originalcharacter #digitalart #smallartist #ocsky #artsky #artshare #art

Joined my first collab on instagram a few months ago! And I've always wanted to draw Tyler with a pokemon team! I always imagined him with a very affectionate Flareon, but Milcery and Gligar fit him too! #oc #originalcharacter #digitalart #smallartist #ocsky #artsky #artshare #art #pokemon

He's lowkey a meowstic gijinka if I'm being honest. I always loved seeing people's trainer ocs match their pokemon a little bit!
