I've updated my layout and avatar with my new OC. (The artist is Isaky). I set it up so it won't break any of my mood layouts or any of the other Louise ones. There is one extra layer of trickery added. The hint is "Our of respect for the artist I cannot nor will not modify the original artwork." Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

(backstory ahoy. can just nope out if you could care less)

I've wanted for the last few months have an avatar/profile/pic etc that was 100% unique and mine. I've been doing this whole 'recolor something that exists' thing for over 17 years. While wanting to keep some aspects of my avatars (makes a little less original but it's also consistency) I took all my usual avatar trappings and came up with a very rough idea for a char. I wanted it to be imperfect and cute. With that (and inspired by some of Isaky's works) I went with a "Frankstein('s monster) motif.

Seriously you should check out the artist's Twitter. She's currently writing a multilingual (EN/ES) web comic, as well as her profile is varied and fun to peruse!

(PS: It's nice to see someone actually using the mood layout besides myself. I put that in as an easter egg 3 years ago and finally someone is using it. )

(PPS: I wasn't going to mention this but since I mentioned it in my profile her name is Noriko [範子]. It means "pattern child".)

That is a very cute character; the artist did a great job, it goes very well with your layout

Still the plain profile admin, then?

Thank you!

Lol funny enough I was trying a few things out as you posted that. Updated to reflect adjusted content and flavorings. (I'll come up with something better later)

Female OC, sign of things to come? It's nice.

Haha. Sorry no (One could ponder a lot by the fact she's a hybrid being. Does that mean she's any gender? She could identify as 'she' because of what she once was? There! I made things more complicated with a sarcastic response. I've done my job. 😈)

Thanks!

And I'm not quite sure Thierry counts as mood layouts, it's a whole new tier of dynamicness.

Well true, but it's the first instance of anyone using it but me AFAIK. It's a cool feature that does take a lot to use it meaningfully though. I'm just glad others are starting to explore it.

I got a new mood avatar and layout I just had to show it off. It started off when the artist thatsheepagain posted as request for random chars so they could test out their new tablet. I decided what the heck and I submitted my char Noriko. They sent back this in 10 mins flat:


I was like enamored with how adorable she turned out so I asked for a full version. It's a really unique style and it's really cute.

So expect me to use this out of context and a bit often for a little bit..

I'll have more variations on Noriko as time passes and I'll be posting here about it as I get them.

I got another one. I may need to tweak this one but here it is. By the Artist Haru Kistu!

*cough*

I got to speaking thatsheepagain today and well.. I ended up commissioning another piece. (They could really use the money, and I wanted to help them out. They are very kind too. I'm a softy. Plus I do love their unique style.) This one features my Noriko char and her Gabbie char from her comics. So Noriko now has a friend! (they grow up so fast these day lol.)
Here is the twitter postpost for it. Please think about retweeting and/or fav'n it if you like it. I'd like to get them the most twitter traffic as possible. (but you don't have to of course I felt compelled to ask.. I apologize)

If you would like to know more about Gabbie here is her bio. Also you can find a link to her comic there as well.

Here is the piece:


Thanks for your time!

I strike again as Epele would say. Lol

One of the comissions I expected I'd have to request and I'd get in say April. This one was illustrated by Tigera (@projectTiGER_)
They did such a good job showing her personality!


(Click the image for the tweet)

Tigera said some really nice things on Tumblr as well.

This was an honor for me and I didn't think I'd even get a slot and it seems Tigera loved her quite a bit!

I love how this turned out.. so I made a post layout for it. Enjoy!
