A fullbody drawing of my fandesign for Synthesizer V Kevin in a setting made to resemble a dress-up game. He is posing with one hand in the air and the other on his hip, and wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt in the same style as his official green and blue logo with blue jeans, bright blue socks, and shoes that are also styled like his logo with the addition of blue laces and soles. He is portrayed as slightly chubby with light brown skin, short spiky dark brown hair with a small strand coloured green, and green eyes with a blue accent situated where the pupil would be. He also wears a small silver ring earring. Next to him is a shelf with, inside of it, four different outfits divided into tops, bottoms and shoes/socks. Arrows on each side suggest a possibility to show more outfits. Fake UI elements name the source of each outfit by pointing to one element of each, being: "Gone Fishing", "Reckless Battery Burns", "Too easy" and "Ace Dysfunction". The background is mint green with hearts overlayed, and a fake UI button in the bottom right says "Home".

Here is my piece for the #FandesignFanzine!
I finally drew a fullbody of my Kevin fandesign 💚

The songs featured are "Gone Fishing" by 11vein, GHOST & RIProducer, "Reckless Battery Burns" by Team 6x111, "Too Easy" by electrovoid, and "Ace Dysfunction" by OrgansDotOrg.

A digital sketch of Kei Mikhail Ignatov, heavily inspired by the opening for Psycho-Pass 3, Q-vism. He is leaning forward with a scary smile, shaded in dark black. The image is formatted as a square.

The same illustration, but instead of being greyscale, it is coloured with orange hues. Kei's skin is still white, and the shading is still black.

2. Kei Mikhail Ignatov from Psycho-Pass! I bet you thought you'd seen the last of him.
But come on. He's a fool.

A drawing of Swindler from Akudama Drive wearing Michelle's costume from BanG Dream!. Michelle is a pink bear mascot, and Swindler is removing her head, visibly sweaty underneath it. The pose is taken from an official illustration of Misaki taking off Michelle's head in BanG Dream. The image has a red tint and background.

1. You know what Wiki I admin: Swindler from Akudama Drive! I have many faves among the cast but she's outstanding.

(Yay, ty for 3 likes! Feel free to keep them coming! I'll try to use my own art for the illustrations when I can.)

A portrait of Neo (cropped from a CG in Murder Fabrication). He is a young black man with black eyes and short, curly black hair on one side and longer, wavy blue hair on the other. He looks forward with a solemn expression.

A black and white drawing of Neo as the character from the song "Again" by Crusher. On his right (viewer's left) is a similar-looking man with extremely look curly dark hair. On his left (viewer's right) is the black shape of a character, with traits not represented.

A Christmas-themed portrait of Neo, looking down, blushing. The dyed half of his year is red, to match his top, which is red and white. He wears a candy-cane shaped earring.

Hi! Wow, congrats on 2k! I hope it's OK for me to join - I love love love my OCs. I'm currently focusing on a Danganronpa-style(/fangan) written project called #MurderFabrication I'm extremely fond of. But I also have other stories to tell, and OCs that come with them!

feat. MF's protag, Neo!

"Artists, quote with your faces!"

I coincidentally picked two drawings with a similar angle, that I don't even draw all that often. I guess I should draw it more, because I evidently like it.

arollingriver's 2025 Summary of Art. January: my An Xiao fandesign as the character from the song "stainless steel" by nure. February: Akiro Lynn from Murder Fabrication as the character from the song "Monitoring" by Deco*27. March: two portraits. One is of Chris Vivas from Murder Fabrication, the other is of Eclipsed Sounds' Galenaia. April: Oscar Belmonte from Murder Fabrication smiling, with his shirt open. May: my Wei Shu fandesign. June: Noah Landon from Murder Fabrication lying on his back in a constricted position. July: Akiro, smiling nervously, with Nix's character "!!!" (three exclamation points) on his head. August: a portrait of mimsynth's Utau Mimosa. September: my OC Artémis lying on his back, in a purple palette except for his eyes, which are mint green. October: Emily Drake from Murder Fabrication drawn in the style of Vocaloid artist Kei. November: a draft without colouring of Starlord from Marvel Rivals. December: Akiro as the character from the song Wailing of Left-handed by cage.

My 2025 Summary of Art. I post my drawings on @jadziajan.bsky.social first!

As is tradition, I've written some commentary for it on my tumblr: arollingriver.tumblr.com/post/8043844...

A sketched portrait of Reigen Arataka. He is smiling with a cutesy nervous expression. The drawing on the left is the same as the one on the right, without colours or shading.

I didn't post it on its own because it was such a quick sketch, but I actually quite like this doodle of Lois.

A drawing of Akiro from Murder Fabrication as the character from the song "Wailing of Right-handed". He is a young man with light skin, orange hair and green eyes. He is crying with his eyes and mouth are wide open, as if screaming, and the position of his hair and shoulders implies quick movement.

God knows I'm busy but God knows I had to get this out of my system. Muxin AI, the voicebank based on Akiro's voiceclaim, is finally out! I *had* to cover this extremely fitting song:

A draft-style sketch portrait of Jan from Murder Fabrication, facing, wearing a short blond beard.

here's a guy.

Thank you for your requests!

A draft-style portrait sketch of nure's character May Britt in black lines with a slight purple hue. She is looking at the viewer from a three-quarters angle with a small, enthusiastic smile.

Something like this? :>

#requests #oc

A draft-style portrait sketch of Marvel character Star-Lord in black lines. He is looking down at the viewer with a smug expression, mostly shown through a very wide 3-shaped mouth.

First doodle today so I hope it turned out alright! I am known to respect a buff man I miss my buff man phase
#requests #starlord

I don't think my followers here particularly care about my OCs, and I don't think #MurderFabrication has had any new readers recently, but usually Akiro is one people recognise. I also know I have a follower on IG who's attached to Jan, I don't think there's any particular reason.

A digital sketch of Andi and Keith from Murder Fabrication. Andi is holding a pocky in her mouth with a proud look, looking up at Keith, who leans towards her shakily with an intense blush.

Oh, I forgot about pocky day.
Here's some old Kandi for the soul

A bust-up digital sketch of my original character Artémis lying on his back, looking forward. The drawing consists of purple hues, with the exception of his eye and the logo on the chest of his collared shirt, which are mint green. The logo says "ONB" with, at its bottom, a simple bow-and-arrow shaped symbol.

A digital sketch of Lois Davids from Murder Fabrication as the character from the song "Love Attribute" by PinocchioP. She is a woman with light skin, short dark red hair and blue eyes, leaning over to cry. Large tears are drawn over her, implying they're falling towards and close to the viewer.

A drawing of Isabella Jewell from Murder Fabrication sitting in a chair that seemingly gloes infinitely up behind her. The pose is the same as that of Nyl's in their demo song "Above and Beyond" by RIProducer - the viewer is looking up at Isabella, who is smiling with her legs crossed.

A drawing of my OC Hideki as the character from the song Pathological Facade by Ghost and Pals. He is sitting at a booth in what looks to be a pharmacy, looking exaggeratedly happy with his head resting on his hand. The background behind him is green, with on either side of it shelves filled with yellow boxes of medication.

Thank you, as usual!

My name is Jan, and I have many beloved OCs, but I post the most about my stories Murder Fabrication (fangan style) and Newwell City. I'm a writer first and foremost, but I also LOVE to work a song and/or MV reference into a drawing...

A digital sketch of a blonde doll with white skin and blue eyes. Small bubbles are being released above from it, implying it's being submerged. A spot-light lights the doll up, whereas the rest of the image is very dark. Lyrics from "Beauty is Empty" by Mars Argo are written in random places all around it, in white and bright light blue. The lyrics are: "Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Who's the fairest of them all? (She can bring you to your knees.) (But she's hard to please.) (She'll swallow him with those big blue eyes.)" The following lyrics are between angular quotations: "Oh my God I'm so surprised to see you. I'm so glad to finally meet you."

Beauty is Empty

A digital sketch of Andi Evan from Murder Fabrication, a woman with short wavy hair, wearing a tank dress and a devil horns headband. She's smiling with eyes closed and holding her cheek in one hand.

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 31: Halloween costume

Rare Bluesky original... I sketched this earlier this month - I wanted to copy a cute Bandori pose but couldn't get it to look right... but I love Andi, so please accept this sillee 🥺

(And read #MurderFabrication so you can then read the bonus episodes)

The "Guys I Have Something I Need To Confess" meme redrawn with Murder Fabrication characters. Jan says: "guys... i have something i need to confess." Then, closing his eyes, while he would normally confess something, the speech bubble is filled with a screenshot of a route on the Murder Fabrication forum, which is: "Murder Fabrication :: The story :: Chapter 4 :: Class Trial". Underneath, Chloe and Alice are standing in front of a "Bi is okay!" banner and rainbow confetti. Chloe is holding a bi flag and Alice is holding a cake with a trans flag inside of a heart on top of it. Both look horrified.

A "chibi style" three-quarters portrait of Marcy from Re:Layers, a girl with light skin, short claret red hair and green eyes.

I turned Marcy into a marketable(?) chiby. @triggside.bsky.social

A teddy bear in orange shades, with an intense texture usual from the brush I use.

The same teddy bear, but it is fully white.

The same teddy bear, but it is grey, and for some reason surrounded by red in a way that makes it look like blood.

I .. .I don't know what happened here. P . .Pick your fave?

[ #bweirdOCtober #MurderFabrication ]

A bust-up digital portrait of my concept for Emily Drake from Murder Fabrication as a vocal synth. She is drawn in an attempt at Kei's original style, like Miku or the Kagamine twins' artworks. A silver halo hovers over her head.

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 16: angel

slash tragic? This was a last minute decision. It's my first time trying this style. You'd think I'd have put some more thought and time into it, but this is what OC-tober is about..... to me

[ #MurderFabrication #bweirdOCtober #vocalsynth ]

A digital bust-up portrait of Benjamin Pan from Murder Fabrication in the following hexas: #2E171A, #4E1717, #691717, #9C3A17, #DAD16B, #BCD4B9, and #E8E8E8. He has a sly smile.

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 15: palette challenge

I'm not great with palettes, but Ben is always a good test subject. Also... villain? Dramatic? Heh.

Just a simple sketch since I keep starting these way late OTL

[ #MurderFabrication #bweirdOCtober ]

A coloured digital sketch of a hand with light warm ivory skin laying still on sand, with only some parts covered by it. The hand is covered in brown spots and small white scars. The sand gets darker at the bottom, before turning much lighter, implying a close tide.

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 10: symbolism/themes

Washed away (quick late night sketch)

[ #MurderFabrication #bweirdOCtober ]

Two blue round shapes, shaded like gems, with ragged edges due to the texture of the brush used to create them. Two grey rectangles above and below them imply they're held by something metallic, like jewellery. The one on the right features shadows of different characters.

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 9: inventory

A tiny bit late AND I refuse to explain it

[ #MurderFabrication #bweirdOCtober ]

Poorly drawn humanoid shapes with Akiro and Jan's respective hair and tops. They're both lying face down against the ground, with Jan lying across Akiro. A slight blue gradient over the image adds to the pathos of this illustration

A pencil portrait sketch of my original character Ashley. He has spiky bi-colour hair (shaded in grey pencil), multiple piercings, some acne, and a very smug expression. Text next to him reads "OC-tober Day 5: under-appreciated OC".

#bweirdOCtober2025 Day 5: under-appreciated OC

I'm busy today, so here goes a quick pencil doodle!
(Shoutout to Ashley. I have no idea why I made him look so cunty.)

ICYMI, I'm using @arollingriver.bsky.social to RT (or reskeet or whatever) exclusively my drawings! It's mostly a safeguard so I can keep using the same artist signature, even though I want my main Bluesky to be about a little bit of everything I make :>

A digital sketch of Lois Davids from Murder Fabrication as the character from the song "Love Attribute" by PinocchioP. She is a woman with light skin, short dark red hair and blue eyes, leaning over to cry. Large tears are drawn over her, implying they're falling towards and close to the viewer.

· Love is supposed to be strong, love is supposed to shine on our days
· Love is supposed to win in the end, love is supposed to save the world

[ #bweirdOCtober #MurderFabrication ]

A halfbody drawing of an original character with brown eyes, long brown twintails held by blue ribbons, wearing a pink cardigan and a white V-neck t-shirt with a small blue ribbon on the collar, extending her hand forward. Text in the Impact font, above and underneath her, reads "Let's take ibuprofen together".

Not one of the OGs, but a fan favourite.
