I was working on a version of this weird loon helmet for Errick a few months back but while it looked good, it just wasn’t what I wanted, composition and vibes-wise.

Trying again with something a little more… regal?

We’ll be able to tell I’m feeling cheerier once I draw someone who’s not Henry or Errick.

Today is not that day. But hey. He gets to wear something comfy.

A screenshot of Procreate featuring an unfinished drawing of a young man with long black hair and dark eyes wearing a hoodie with rabbit ears on it. The colour scheme is purple and pink.

It’s silly, but hey, it’s the first finished thing I’ve done in months. Credit to my buddy @zoegears.bsky.social for the prompt~

#art #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Errick #Henry
A digital drawing of two characters - Errick and Henry - wearing animal hoodies. Errick has darker skin, blue eyes, and thick, curly dark hair, and he’s wearing a hoodie with binturong ears and little eyebrow spots. He’s rolling his eyes and looks a little annoyed. Henry is taller, lighter skinned, with dark eyes and long, straight black hair. His hoodie has floppy rabbit ears. He’s pulled his head back into the hood a bit, as if he’s sheltering under it. His expression is unreadably blank.

#art #sketch #oc || #AlphaBase #Henry
A crop of a digital sketch of a teenage boy with long black hair, dark eyes, and heavy, serious eyebrows glaring at the viewer while sitting cross-armed in a hospital bed. His arms are heavily bandaged, as is his chest, with bruises and bloodstains visible between the dressings. He has an IV inserted on one hand. His face is also bruised on his right hand side and across his nose.

A couple of the WIPs I picked up again recently. Both of these are very old and are going to feel ✨amazing✨ to finally finish.

#art #oc #ocart #wip || #AlphaBase #Henry #Michael #Errick
A screenshot of Procreate featuring a canvas in progress. In the foreground is a scared looking boy with long dark hair, goggles, a hood pulled up, and a respirator mask clutched in one hand. He’s painted in shades of rosy purple with bright orange light on his face. Behind him in oranges and reds is the painted portrait of a younger boy with brown skin, curly dark hair, and a regal, almost militaristic-looking outfit. The painting is surrounded by flowers and lights. In Procreate’s reference pane is another drawing of the boy in the painting, but wearing a simple purple cloak with a hood. A screenshot of a Procreate canvas featuring a drawing of two boys hugging. The one on the left being hugged has long black hair, tan skin, dark, narrow eyes, and a fond smirk. He’s looking to his left at the younger boy hugging him, who is darker skinned, with curly dark hair and blue eyes.

A photograph of a sketchbook page featuring a lanky young man in layers of tattered clothes and wearing goggles and a respirator mask. He has shaggy black hair pulled back under the strap for his mask. He’s perched on the ledge of a building overlooking buildings in the distant down below.

I should have been in bed a while ago but tonight I was just riled. up. :|

This calls for more Ezra. Added him to the edge of a sketchbook page that was otherwise mainly white space.

#art #oc #ocart #furry || #Ezra #ProphecyOfTheCircle (also feat.: #Henry #Errick #AlphaBase)
A photo of a sketchbook page featuring sketches of a small USB like device labelled “Archive Key”, a boy with curly dark hair reaching up to touch the long dark hair of an older, annoyed-looking boy, and a large sketch of a six-limbed furry character - Ezra - overarching the whole page. Ezra has a canine-like muzzle, shaggy dark hair, dragon wings on his back and fins on his head. He’s posed as if crawling down off of a ledge, wings outstretched and his long tail arched out behind him.

#art #wip #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Henry
A photo of a portion of a painting, taken at a slight angle. The art features a boy with long, straight dark hair and a pair of long rabbit ears the same colour as his hair and decorated with gold stars. He’s clutching a bundle of paper stars and has his head turned to nuzzle into one of his rabbit ears. His eyes are closed. There is a moon and stars dominating the background. The painting is mostly in shades of dark blue, but the stars and the outlines of the boy are metallic gold.

Second is Jonathan. He is not having a good day. He is -never- having a good day. But he’s trying very, very hard to obtain for himself a good day. Ends justifying means and all that.

#art #oc #ocart #sketch || #AlphaBase #Jonathan
A sketch of rather unhappy looking fellow. He’s in his twenties with messy, tightly curled reddish-brown hair and tan skin. His eyes are brown. He has a long face and a bit of sparse stubble.

First up was Michael Rider, eldest son of Alpha Base’s Commander, Christoph, and Errick’s older brother.

He’s not technically -in- the story I’m writing, really, but good golly gee does he ever have an impact on it.

#art #oc #ocart #sketch || #AlphaBase #Michael
A photo of a drawing in a sketchbook, but the sketch has been digitally coloured over. The drawing is a portrait of a very young boy with short, dark brown curly hair and dark eyes, and light brown skin. He’s smiling mischievously at the viewer and has a gap in his front teeth. He’s wearing a hooded garment in a purple-tinted shade of grey.

A cropped portion of a work-in-progress digital art piece, featuring close-up of the blue eyes of a dark-skinned man with dark hair. He’s wearing a cyberpunk mask and helmet, including a round red LED projection at the side of his head that looks like a staring eye. It’s casting a bright red glow across his right eye.

There is no way I’ll be able to get good photos or scans of these that do them justice, but I was fiddling with metallic paint pens tonight.

The rabbit was a quick media test on scrap paper. The other one I’m taking slowly and seriously.

#art #wip #watercolor #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Henry
A messily painted dark blue piece with a rabbit and stars drawn in metallic gold and digitally highlighted with dabs of white on the gold lines and a black border around the art. The rabbit looks like its floating or falling through the night sky. An angled photograph of a work in progress painting of Henry, with rabbit ears. Part of the background has been painted gray-blue and the shapes of stars are inked in silver with a touch of black around the edges. There is a DecoColor paint pens visible resting on the paper.

Also trying (again) to figure out how dramatic I want the lighting to be on this one.

I am not a fast artist, and this is because I just… muck about, mostly. Eventually I hit the ‘eureka!’ moment.

This one’s been eluding me for months.

A drawing of Henry with his hood up, goggles on, and his respirator held in one hand. Behind him are flowers. Bright orange light is cast on his face, and the shadows are stark and pink.

Y’know, I never draw Errick in any kind of mask. Masks are such a THING in Alpha Base, and he’s the commander. He should totally get one of my impractical cyberpunk designs.

Not going to be beating the furry allegations with this one either, though.

Digital art of Henry from behind. He’s looking back over his shoulder, and his long black hair has the shape of rabbit ears within it, outlined in white and speckled near the ends with stars. He’s holding a pet rabbit on his shoulder, and it, too, has stars on its forehead.

#art #oc #ocart || #AlphaBase #Heinrich
A digital portrait of Heinrich in black, gold, and sepia tones. He has dark eyes, thick dark eyebrows, and long black hair fanned out in dramatic tendrils as he faces to the left, snarling. There are cyberpunk stylized black dog ears atop his head, outlined in gold and a translucent mask materializing over his mouth and nose. Its in the shape of a wolf’s skull. The bottom jaw is black and the top is white like bone. He’s wearing a black jacket with gold trim. The background is composed of geometric rectangles in dark brown and spattered with gold against a pale yellow like paper.

Heinrich would, in fact, be wearing a helmet. But then again, if he’s shooting and driving at the same time, then the situation MUST be dire.

#art #oc || #AlphaBase #Heinrich #Errick #Paul
A drawing of the main villainous (sort of) trio from Alpha Base, with Heinrich on the left, Errick in the centre, and Paul on the right. Each is shaded in a different colour. Heinrich and Paul are standing on ground level, but Errick is probably about a foot shorter than either of them and is standing on the lowest step of a staircase. Errick’s got his arms around both and he’s grinning. Both Heinrich and Paul have handguns. Heinrich looks aloof. Paul looks like he’s very happy to be there.

A digital art piece in shades of earthy brown, featuring Herratt - a broad, heavily bearded fellow with brown skin and a mane of curly brown hair - standing in a corridor beneath ductwork, and holding a spool of cable. He’s passing the end if the cable up to someone who’s only visible as a dark-skinned hand and a tuft of equally dark hair. It’s his husband, Jacob, who’s busily fixing -something- as always.

A photo of an open sketchbook featuring Henry dressed head-to-toe in badly fitting, ragged clothes, including boots and gloves thar are too big, pants that are too short, multiple straps holding it all together, and a frayed capelet over the whole thing. He has goggles and a respirator mask on, and has an overstuffed backpack at his feet full of books and miscellaneous items, including one rod with a radioactive warning label on the side. He’s leaning against a wall with one hand, has one leg crossed against the other, and is holding what appears to be a street sign behind his back. The caption at the bottom reads “Henrys is Bugs” (author’s note: because he’s skinny like a stick bug) A photo of an open sketchbook featuring a pen and pencil portrait of a very fluffy, fancy chicken’s head. It has a very severe expression on its face, which is haloed by feathers.
