Oh Right. I used to have an OC.
Added 2023-07-06 00:35:14 +0000 UTCSome old terrible looking ‘archive’ stuff that, frankly I’ve had sitting as a draft post for months.
I’m very hesitant to repost these on account of how old & bad they are, but they all might be made slightly more relevant soon-ish (I might take this down though too because I hate how crap some of these are).
If you‘ve joined since then, or (justifiably) forget, this was the OC I used to have in the mid-aughts. Melanie’s her name, & the non-round, non-fat pic drawing itself was posted on dA 18 & a half years ago. With the rest not being from much later than that period of time. God, I sucked so bad. Horrific presentation.
Canonically she was supposed to be 19 or 20 at the time. Which would put her in the back half of her thirties now…
Anyway, watch this space…

Well when I said I was going to bring back an OC… And I only really officially ever had the one OC…? But good guess!

2023-07-24 02:01:09 +0000 UTCThank you! I’m glad to hear some of these stood out to folks!

2023-07-24 02:00:25 +0000 UTCThanks but I don’t think it’s unfair & I think Melanie’s fine. My issues aren’t with her as a character (although I think she was maybe a little one-dimensional), but more the quality of the art.

2023-07-24 01:59:26 +0000 UTCThanks! I was proud of it at the time, & out of all of these, it’s the one I have the least issue with. I just feel like my art’s come a long way, so I feel weird posting ancient art.

2023-07-24 01:58:25 +0000 UTCWell hopefully you two can catch up soon

2023-07-24 01:57:31 +0000 UTCDon’t do that. Why would you do that? Never do that.

2023-07-24 01:56:49 +0000 UTCShe is return-ed!

2023-07-24 01:56:35 +0000 UTCHope you like the update!

2023-07-24 01:55:26 +0000 UTCThank you! Glad! Mostly, as far as archive posts, a lot of what’s on the docket is old stories which I’m going through & refining a little (original versions still on dA, proofread & updated ones here, both publicly available).

2023-07-24 01:55:09 +0000 UTCThanks! I’m glad you liked them & hope you enjoy the update

2023-07-24 01:53:41 +0000 UTCPlease tell me this means you’ll be bringing her back!

2023-07-08 21:39:13 +0000 UTCI remember really loving both the berry and high-flying piece of Mel back when I stumbled on your page years ago. Looking forward to whatever her revival turns out to be!

2023-07-06 12:24:58 +0000 UTCFor your daily dose of "Jesus, am I that old?", I was a toddler when you first posted Melanie, and am now old enough to be paying $3 a month for your patreon

2023-07-06 02:41:18 +0000 UTCHey now, I quite liked these! In fact, the three-part sequence is *still* good by today's standards.

2023-07-06 02:17:36 +0000 UTCIt makes me sad to hear your judge your older work so unfairly. Melanie was a personal favorite back in the day. She was pretty technically advanced, particularly given what existed at that time.
