Exactly this! Somehow I'm always a bit afraid of being judged... that people might think my stories are stupid or something. Also, my English is a bit rough and my texts are always a little โsimpleโ because of that.
Oooh please do! I'd love to read more stories from artistsโ OCs!

Thank you so much! I think all of my OCs have BGs like this one.... maybe a lot of artists OCs do.... some of us (me :"3) are just very shy

Oooofff, thank you so much, I really feel like I want to share more now! ๐ฅน๐ When it comes to my stories I always feel so cringy and nerdy, but Iโll try to open up more about them. I always have universes in my head while drawing.

They seem restless and driven, going from place to place, country to country. Sometimes they vanish for years and nobody knows where (except me lol).
So yes, thatโs the short story behind this character.
28.11.2025 13:12 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0
Unleashed, they leave a trail of chaos and suffering behind them and donโt care about the rules of vampires or humans. They are completely unpredictable and a pain for the vampire community (which โ of course โ wants to eliminate them, which isnโt that easy because blah blah).

As you can imagine, they had long since lost their mind during the centuries of lonelinessโฆ and probably even before that โ and now this.
They are a deeply evil, murderous, sadistic (and funny) and chaotic character โ an absolute mess.
28.11.2025 13:12 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0
which has more to do with his personality and the connection between them.
Whatever happened, happened. The character came free into a world they knew nothing about, with languages that had changed, deeply traumatized and confused.

This could have been the end of the story, if there hadnโt been a big fire (another story) and some lucky and unlucky circumstances. Among other things, the antagonist, for some reason, wasnโt particularly interested in actually killing this characterโฆ

They met their antagonist hundreds of years ago as a human, and back then they had a very terrible and very unequal conflict,to this characterโs disadvantage. It turned out ugly and in the end this character ended up newly turned,walled in deep in the catacombs of a manor house for hundreds of years

Thank you so much for encouraging me! Maybe Iโll try to be less shy with my stories in the future!
This character is part of an Anne-Rice-like vampire story.

I started to hide it and to feel a little bit like Scrooge McDuck about them. It feels healthy, but also it's time to share a little more againโค๏ธโจ

However, I tried so much. I'm obsessed with oils and clay at the moment... but not good enough yet to show it all... and let's be honest, I got a bit protective of my artworks. I want to produce them more for myself than for others sooo...

I tried to explore my own voice, which is much harder than I thought. I'm still in the process of understanding my own idea of art and artistic expression.

Somehow I floated a bit away from social media and the art community. I went through a very busy year and at the same time I wanted to detach myself from the pressure that the internet sometimes puts on me.

Here is a portrait of an OC. I painted it mainly to use it as an avatar. They have a story, but I'm always afraid of cringing people when I tell some strange ideas and describe characters ๐ฅฒโจ

A digitally painted portrait of an man of Asian descent and his white falcon companion. A dark blue cloth is draped as a simple backdrop.
A spot illustration. A Half drow woman with shoulder length white hair and lavender skin floats, surrounded by purple magical energy interspersed with dragonflies. She points a cross-bow designed with dragonfly motifs off-screen, one glowing bolt nocked and ready to fire, with two more floating at her shoulder. She wears dark half-plate underneath a tabard and vest in purple hues.
An illustration of a goliath hunter on his mount in snowy mountain terrain, facing off against a crag cat. The Goliath is a young man, dressed in brown and white furs, accented with red and blue woven panels. He wields a red horsebow. His mount is a mixture of a reindeer and a markhor goat. His tack and gear matches the colors and motifs of his rider. He is mid leap. In the foreground, a white sabertoothed cat pursues the pair. In the background are snowy peaks and Giant ruins.
An illustration of a battle between humanoids and giant lobster-like creatures on the deck of a ship. The vantage point is from low down, looking up towards the crows nest. In the foreground, a dwarven monk with red hair and beard, hits a Chuul in the head with her staff. The staff has a fist motif. In the background, two more party members battle their own Chuul - one on the quarterdeck, the other on the crows nest. A bright beam of light, breaking through heavy cloud cover brightly illuminates the scene.

A knight on a white horse, setting out to find a dragon in a mountainous wild wasteland, has just encountered the dragonโs aunt. She is MASSIVE, half pompous matron and half dragon, decked with curls, pearls, and feathers (or are they horsetails?) with a long scaly tail stretching back into the mountains, and a formidable gold lorgnette, through which she examines the knight. She does not approve.
The Rose Queen, in a grand rose gown, is surrounded by her court of elegant bee attendants in a spacious pavilion decked with roses. The bee courtiers are all vying for her attention.
A cobbled street in the city of Pontassieve on a sunny afternoon. Fine stone buildings line the street, with red tiled roofs and shady awnings. The arched doorway of an old medieval guard gate is down the street. Thereโs a large, well kept two story stone inn. The sign shows a red rampant boar, the door and windows are open, showing guests drinking inside, and more guests drink under an adjoining grape arbor. Cats and large decorated pots of herbs perch in the windows. The handsome middle-aged landlady stands outside haranguing her two lovely daughters who are returning from the market with baskets of fruit and jugs of wine, gossiping. At a fruit stand is across the street, a small child takes a plum and watches a large dog, as the fruit vendor looks wistfully at the landladyโs pretty daughters, oblivious to everything else. Further down the street various townspeople argue, with very Italian gestures.
In a narrow rocky pass with overhanging cliffs, a motley gang of bandits suddenly appears atop a rocky edge ahead! Itโs an ambush! The leader, a handsome but menacing brunette
woman, brandishes a sword and dagger. Behind her, a motley gang flourishes a random assortment of weapons: swords, daggers, knives, axes, halberds, crossbows, cleavers, and big sticks with nails. Their appearance and attire is just as random, some wearing helmets of breastplates, some in leather doublets, some in shirtsleeves or tunics and brightly patterned tights, one in a gown and apron. The leader wears a hat with rooster feathers, leather doublet and buskins, red shirt with puffed sleeves, and red and yellow striped tights, as well as several gold chains. Her chief henchman, beside her, is a huge and very hairy fellow with tusk-like lower teeth, in patched blue and yellow tights and sheepskin vest. He wields an enormous axe and a fearsome scowl and looks a trifle orcish.

Illustration of Shadowheart and Halsin in a kabedon pose where she leans against the tree and he has his arm above her, also leaning against the tree. It is a romantic setting and there is soft orange light coming in behind Halsin. By SachiiA Draws.
An illustration of an elf, wearing a delicate white lace shirt and a delicate tiara. She is touching her fingertips to her cheeks where it glows, smiling softly with her eyes closed.
Illustration of Jude and Cardan from the Cruel Prince books by Holly Black. Jude is hovering over Cardan, looking angry and holding a knife to his chin. Cardan is wearing his crown and grinning up at her
