Kate Draws 🌈✨️ @tacticiankate.bsky.social · 2h
HI AND HELLO #PortfolioDay I'm Kate, a freelance character artist who loves drawing ocs, fantasy, and pretty ladies!!! 🌈💖🎨 Hoping to be open for new work in the next week or two!! 🙇‍♀️
A portrait illustration of ida's oc Astra, a woman with blue skin, bright blue eyes, long wavy white hair, and a tall unicorn horn. She is dressed in black with gold lace and accents, including lots of star-shaped jewelry and danglies, and the underside of her hair is colored to look like a night sky. The background is a simple black to grey gradient with a gold border and the Monoceros constellation behind her head.A nighttime color illustration of Narney's OC Lellio, a living doll. She has pale skin, big ol ears, ball-jointed fingers and hands, and long white hair bound loosely in gold clasps. She is dressed elegantly and standing with her hands clasped and eyes closed as though making a wish; the background is a circular graphic of the night sky filled with shooting stars, with one especially bright star centered over her head.A color illustration of buntglas's OC Misam, a cosmic bunny lady. She has warm brown skin with light freckles and pale purple palms, a gold third eye tattoo, long flowing hair in a loose braid going from dark purple to lavender to gold and ending in a shooting star, and bunny ears. She is wearing a dark purple top and skirt, both with gold trim, and a transparent sari with intricate star-patterned trim; she has LOTS of gold accessories, all evocative of stars and moons. The background is a gold and purple art nouveau-style circular graphic with a central eye motif surrounded by celestial symbols.A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with deep blue skin, closed eyes, tall curved horns with a glowing crescent moon between them, and long wavy hair going from indigo at the top to pale gold at the ends. She is dressed in an indigo gown with lots of gold trim and accessories and sheer blue accent cloth. She is holding a large golden greatsword with blue roses and purple thorns around the guard. The background is an art nouveau-style circular graphic of gold celestial motifs on a black to maroon gradient.

Sometimes he'd look back and wonder how easy it had been for them to accept him. As if he'd been part of the pack all along. #oc

Chapter 30 is out! and with it some fun doodles to accompany it :^) archiveofourown.org/works/625846... #CrossedWires #Lovebirds #OCsky #Misuna #Neeko
sketchbook page of misuna and neeko, the first is a chibi of Neeko swatting a stick near Misuna's feet, her giving a look of dismay. Below is a headshot of Misuna looking curiously with the thought 'Reward?' next to herTop left Misuna looks wide eyed and flustered. 
Top right Neeko calmly looks down at her and says "You're too tense. Relax your shoulders."
Middle, the two are in a waltz, drawn waist up, Misuna is staring down awkwardly. Neeko says " Stop looking down at your feet.
bottom right, chibi Misuna stomps on Neeko's foot accidentally. He says "It's fine."

With a new look, I'd like to re-introduce Neeko Sotiris :^) The more rule abiding babysitter of the expedition. No not the kid, his goddaughter is perfectly behaved. He's babysitting YOU to make sure you stay out of trouble #Neeko #WGB #OCsky #WhatGrowsBeneath

RIGHT: Jules (Survivalist), the recipient of Xavier's tirade, sits at his end of the dining table. He wears a smug expression and holds ready the cymbals in his hands, only provoking Xavier more.

Got to sit down and watch Knights of Guinevere, so of course I couldn't resist the excuse of drawing her as my warm-up for the day...and got carried away #KnightsofGuinevere #fanart

"Beneath the soft fall of the veil, Edysseia and her princess stood in the quiet that follows a promise kept—no words were needed, only the presence of something longed for, and finally found." [ #art ✦ #illustration ✦ #oc ✦ #ocsky ]
Two women share a gentle kiss beneath a sheer, sparkling veil bathed in soft, warm light. One has long blue hair, pointed ears, and wears a blue-and-gold sari with gold jewelry. The other has vibrant red hair and is clad in shining armor.

Woke up and don't hate Neeko's new design YAYYY but still need to figure out a better pose for just like character line up sake.... And reformat his ref sheet 💦

My brain just registered that i should probably have proper refs of the scarring Misuna and Neeko have cause their designs clothes hide them woops

He can still use a bow but it felt wrong to be in the ref when he doesn't really have a main weapon, the bow is just there for certain situations hmmm .... Unless I add it in anyways and then show a breakdown of his layers in the ref sheet

SquidneySketches @squidneysketches.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Hardest thing for redesign is trying to pick a damn pose that shows personality while not obscuring the design yet again 😩 and I took away this man's weapon he was holding in the last pose damn

yessss I'm glad!! I do think he was victim of getting his outfit before i had a firmer understanding of who he was and his status in the world, so I'm glad having a bigger grasp on that now lets me play a lot more into things hehe

thank god 😩 I was tired of him looking like just some guy compared to everyone else! Hane and Gideon are my two that are allowed to pull that shit cause it suites them, but not Neeko 😂

SquidneySketches @squidneysketches.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
hehee yesss, I definitely think his personality shows a lot more with this >:^) but also kinda matches the world a lot more too I think

SquidneySketches @squidneysketches.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
He's looking way more pretentious, and I'd have to say that means we're heading in the right direction Didn't feel like fighting for my life on his head/face just yet so using his old art for that for now HAHA Might change gloves for him and add gold on some other spots too #WIP #Neeko #OCsky
