CHARACTER ART MEME

written by tsuikai

With even more moonblessing types available now, I know a bunch of peeps are dabbling in making art, asking for commissions, etc. So here's the post to get in on that! We can centralise all our resources and admire all the neat ideas.

TL;DR: Show us what your characters look like with their creature features! And if you wanna spread some art jams, trades, make requests, commissions, leave it here.

You can stick up top levels with one of, or all of, the following.

CREATURE FEATURE: Comment a toplevel with art of your character(s). They don't have to be drawn by you! It'll be a great way for us to see how they look! Useful for threads, more art, etc. Reply to cool concepts and go heeeeey.

TRADES: Add in your toplevel offers for art trades, people comment, profit.

REQUESTS: Add in your toplevel an Ask or Offer for requests. 'tis the spirit.

COMMISSIONS: A list of commissions you're offering or know someone who is. There will be a thread dedicated just for this right at the top. Go wild. Endorse your favourites, and so on.

Gifters can also slide surprise sketches in randomly to those top levels! You never know when inspiration hits.

Remember to mark anything NSFW, and try to keep images under a link because it can get heavy!

Go forth, make the furry gods proud.

Revise | Ren Suzugamori | creature feature + requests (offering) and trades!

[thedarkbond]

SO I've drawn...a decent chunk of Ren's moon cycle designs but some of them are a bit hit or miss until my recent ones, so I'm mostly just going to slam those down here! For Cordis, there's butterfly, scorpion, and lineart for an updated nine-tailed fox design, for the exalted blessings there's kraken, and for Sanguis which I'm planning to switch Ren to temporarily early next year, I did some snake and sheep/antelope sketches recently.

For requests, I'm happy to take requests but they'll most likely be sketches like the snake and antelope ones above (or possibly digital lineart in some cases because I do need to practice that)! Just leave me a reference image of your character's normal design (as much of the body as possible in it) and describe their transformation and anything you'd like them to be wearing, otherwise I'll just use whatever outfit is in the ref.

For trades, I'm happy to do flats (butterfly, scorpion or kraken are examples) or full colour (i don't have a full colour example above but here's one, nsfw for ren in lingerie), or even just a sketch trade if you'd find that more fun than a request! Again, I'll need a reference/description and also what kind of trade you want (sketch for sketch, lineart for lineart, flat for flat, full colour for full colour).

[winepouring]

You always have so many neat designs for the different moonblessings and happenings-! Do you wanna trade together?

Lila | Shi Qingxuan | creature features + requests/trade offering

[winepouring]

I've drawn a bit of Shi Qingxuan's Cordis forms!

This is his normal form! (Though in female form... 'v';;) He has the tail all the time now. It's an arctic fox tail so it transitions from white to black and back with the seasons. :3 (That is owl Shen Qingqiu on the right.)

This is full cat-with-owl-wings form!! His owl wings are based on an actual owl but I forgot...which kind...oops. orz You can see his longevity lock in this form when it's usually under his clothes.

And with the new moonblessings, I also drew butterfly version! He has his fox tail in all forms now, so that's also there... His butterfly form is based on the summer azure butterfly! This art was drawn before I decided that, though, so this is more of a generic butterfly look. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway! I'm happy to take trades and requests!! Nice, simple, relaxing drawing, like linearts! No need to worry about visual references, I'm happy to draw based on written descriptions!!

[torsion]

Your art is super-cute! The cat is particularly gorgeous!

whit + 76 + give me ur dudes I'll draw them

[mylawn]

I have compiled one (1) reference post for a horrible snake. There's some of my own stuff there plus a few things from friends, plus some general references/inspiration from around the internet. maybe exalted stuff will come one day but generally it's all horrible snake all the time for this guy.

I'm down for some requests! Probably simple headshots or little things like this or this but I will color them because I like to color. If you've got references up I might come for you regardless.

[torsion]

I love this one. I got a good chuckle out of the expression tbh.

Alex | Reimi Sugimoto | Creature Feature

[doreimi]

Tragically, I can't draw to save my life, but I have a small array of references I've been using for moonblessing purposes.

Reimi never manifested any physical Cordis changes until just this past cycle, so she's only ever had butterfly traits. Specifically, she has pink wings with a monarch butterfly pattern, that are more on the small side and set in the center of her upper back, a little below her shoulderblades.

This is a problem for her in particular because her back is covered in hideous scars from where she was repeatedly stabbed during her murder, and she's not particularly inclined to show those off, so having wings necessitating backless shirts is a Problem™.

Reference-wise, I just have the following:
Reimi herself | Butterfly wings | Approximate size and placement

girl deserves a cute coat

kari | kaitos | creature feature

[bellyoftheborg]

So. I can't draw for shit, and I'm honestly only passable at even describing the stuff in writing. But what I am good at is finding people who are great at getting character concepts down from what you describe to them, and it's never led me astray: both the original sketch and the fleshed out icons for Kaitos pretty much nail the look of the character flat.

UNFORTUNATELY, I don't have any art of their Iris blessings yet. For the most part, I'm sticking with jellyfish tentacles for theming - thick and distinctly colored, like cords or wires sticking out of them. Let them hook you into the network! It'll rule! Trust them! I'll also be going full Kraken once they've been around another month, because of course I will.

That also does mean I'm on the lookout for anyone who's into drawing cyborg collectives with tentacles! hmuuuuu

alba | leone abbacchio | creat feat

[teaserving]

the best i could do was like one of those dress up doll things. it's pretty close but his hair should be way fluffier since he's sanguis now and has FLUFFY! WOOL HAIR! sheepacchio is real

[dies]

I'll be honest I had a bunch of vento fanart that I never finished and could just edit quickly

lili | lottie person | creature feature + requests and trades!

[oomfies]

hello!! i've drawn both lottie's bunny moon blessing traits (not pictured: matching brown bunny tail) and her new bat moon blessing traits... the only consistent theme here is fangs that have an overbite, big ass ears, glasses bc bad eyesight, and the unseen tiny bat tail. i also love doing ootd pics!!

i'm open to trades and requests!!! they'll be grayscale like the linked ones for the bat traits above. i don't mind a written or a visual description so long as i get a good idea of what to work w! i love doing quick doodles in general, so don't be shy gamers.. let me get my grubby paws on ur kids

[nipzips]

your art is always so good .......

Mini | Nakajima Atsushi, Grimm | fic for art? fic for art anyone?

[tigerpoet]

Hello! I do not do the draws, but I do the writes sometimes! (My AO3 if you want to check things out...?) If anyone wants to trade my writes of their characters for your arts of my characters, hit me up!

Atsushi: Atsushi looks different depending on whether it's the outer or inner personality in control. Their Cordis traits are typically catlike, with white and black striped cat ears and tail. They also have presented as a kitsune now, with nine white, red-tipped fox tails and a very different outfit.

Grimm: Grimm looks very not human. Iris tends to replace his arms with tentacles, but otherwise he's mostly unchanged.

[torako]

here is a small atsushi...

Junebug | Osomatsu Matsuno | Creature Feature + TRADES

[immature]

big eyes emoji. i've got a few pics for Osomatsu!

his most recent blessings can be found here! he's got deer antlers, ears, a deer tail, bat wings, fangs, and brown/red speckles all over his body. His hair's a bit shaggier in this form, too, and his fingers and toes are ashen colored, like deer hooves.

ALSO for the future! exalted Moonblessing! featuring grey skin and tentacles. EYES EMOJI.

i'm here for art trades. but if you want to pay me to just draw your character, i can do that, too. lots of free time right now. got some recent examples here.

jackal | majima goro | art trades/requests

[24hourcinderella]

i draw..... not nearly as much as i should to keep from being rusty, admittedly, but rp is like the one thing that gets me off my ass doin' it, so here i am.

especially interested in doing some art trades while i'm on holiday. i'm also open to requests from current CR, particularly if there are any scenes you would like to see drawn, existing or handwaved. i've been itching to do some candid style stuff or mock instagrams.

HERE is an album feat. a smattering of old monster art circa ryslig, including some trades/requests i've done in the past.

majima takes on snake traits for sanguis. sometimes he has legs, sometimes he does not. his mouth can also open up like this, what a freak. his hair's been cut and his wardrobe differs somewhat from canon now, but otherwise these references are accurate! ...and the only ones i've got at the moment!

[spah]

I love your art!! Also, this is only if you want to, but if you're doing reqursts I'd love to see something of the locket thread between Engie and Majima. :>>> Or just something of Majima at the Halloween party! Whatever interests you most.

Engineer | Team Fortress 2

[spah]

This is mildly out of date since I've switched up Engineer's moonblessing traits but here's a thing of Engineer with koi barbels/whiskers that I drew once!!

I'm not able to right now, but GODDD down the road I absolutely want to commission someone to draw Engie with his new Texas Longhorn horns.

Naoto Shirogane | Persona 4 Golden | Creature Feature + Art Trade/Requests/Commissions

[pishirogane]

I'm around and alive, I swear lol. I just... don't post to memes that often anymore?? Maybe? Eeeee...

Anyway, up for art trades and requests even if I would prefer taking commissions. Prices depends on how you want your character drawn of course cause I do draw NSFW.

Also, I play Naoto, and have drawn her in various forms Iris before here and here too. Note: NSFW since mostly nude. Also have her exalted form which will appear in another two days in game. BTW, if you're wondering why no clothes... she just tries to avoid going out during her cycles.

Mohammed Avdol | Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

[nonehorse]

I might've drawn like. something really, really basic for Avdol's Iris Jellyfish Shits. Tentacle hair, babey!!

He does also have like, translucent blue skin, and the hair's obviously translucent too, I just can't draw for peanuts but HERE WE ARE, BABY. I'd love to commission like, someone's take on him actually looking more like a Portuguese Man'o'war, since that's his theme! SO HEY IF YOU WANT MONEY, LET ME KNOW, I'LL DO IT, I GOT DISPOSABLE INCOME AT THE MOMO.

[toiu]

Gabriel Reyes | Overwatch

[passedover]

Listen, I'm still real damn happy with a commission gifted to me of basic Cordis Gabo because the ears are my favorite part, because yes those are feathers at the tips of those ears.(and not pictured, the color morph pattern barn owl wings, tail, and digitigrade legs complete w/paw-feet.) A dear friend(love you toni) also sketched more drastically changed, and another awesome sketch by another darling friend(gann you loved too) of more fox face change. I seriously love my fox-owl dumbass.

I AM JUST HERE TO SHARE THIS LOVELY ART I GOT.

[torsion]

what a dweeb, i love him.

Angela "Mercy" Ziegler | Overwatch | creature feature! + icons??

[cadeuces]

Angie was Iris (deer-flavored) for her first 8mo in the game so I've collected some really nice commission work in the interim! I started with a lil shoop of my own for a concept but gently gathered some pretty cute (whyellewhy currently taking soup kitchen donation commissions!)— other (GingerDeity)— pieces (kiwibean weekly commission streams!)

But now she's Sanguis (sheep/wolf-flavored, but what does that taste like??? hmm,) to jazz things up a bit and I've restarted my collection of wonderful, beautiful (our DMC Vergil player!)— pieces (dogtoothed)! She poof up real fluff, gets lamb's ears & horns, but instead of beep like the cute business birb comic, she bite... she gets some sharp teeth and a wolf tail for that whole wolf in sheep's clothing cliche.

I will never turn down people's takes on her if anyone had the urge to work her up, but I'm afraid I'm Drawless in my list of talents— I would, however, be more than happy to do any icon work for anyone who may need them! No cost. ♥ Just throw pics/manga pages with color refs/whatever at me and I'll let 'er rip!

[torsion]

They're all super cute, but the pool lounging one is such a chill, great pose!

himeko inaba | kokoro connect | creature feature + icon offerings

[dereban]

Inaba over here is an Iris - she primarily has rabbit traits, primarily just the rabbit ears and tail, although I'm hoping to add in some exalted traits to the mix potentially in the upcoming months - mostly additional tentacle limbs along with her regular arms, too.

While I can't draw myself, I can definitely offer making icons in exchange - I do both anime/visual novel sprites/video games/b&w manga/manga coloring (examples of my manga coloring here / here / here) if you'd like to do something with that.

If anyone has commissions open also, feel free to hit me up, since I might be potentially interested once I get paid by the end of this week!

jill valentine | resident evil

[torsion]

Jill's a Sanguis and while I haven't really done anything yet, at some point she's going to go full nightstalker cute doggosnake. Usually it's just pointy, alert ears, mostly because I laugh every time I think about how she'd be sort of a Lon Chaney style werewolf and how it would exasperate her.

I don't draw, unfortunately, so I can't offer anything to anyone. I just like looking at everyone's art and neat ideas! c:

[cadeuces]

WHOA THAT LOOKS AWESOME

Veth | Aiko "Torako" Torasawa, Valmont | creature feature + draws?

[torako]

Torako's Cordis form looks like this adorable commission by akiasart! (also have a tiny sketch by me) She goes full catgirl, basically. Ears, tail, paws, all that. I could have picked a less obvious animal, given her canon tiger theming, but lbr. She's a pretty obvious kind of person.

Valmont's Iris form... all I have is this sketch I drew but at least it's cute. I realized I could give him freckles and bunny ears and there was no turning back. And tiny antlers too, I guess, just to make his life a little more difficult. He also has a deer tail, but at least it fits in his pants.

I will offer draws to anyone if you don't mind my vague scribbly art, and the fact that I have no business trying to draw animal parts! But hey. At least it's cute.

Josuke Higashikata | JJBA | creature feature

[nipzips]

Josuke is an Iris and I decided to go Vampire Bat for him because why not take the thottiest option around?? During Iris, he has terrible eyesight, fanged teeth and a pair of bat wings. He eats a lot of fruit and licks flowers sometimes, and if someone starts bleeding around him he might feel like getting bitey.

Lottie bought him a nice pair of Moschino Glasses for his terrible eyesight. He'll only wear the brand name stuff because it doesn't make him feel like a nerd!! For bat wings Joski I was thinking this art but without the horns and other demon features. (Source.). For fanged Josuke I was looking at this but without the wolf-features. I am looking to commission someone to put it all together so I'm eyeing this post a little.

[menphina]

If I could capture Araki's style, I'd be on this so fast. Maybe when I'm confident enough!

Konoka Konoe (and Rhea) | Mahou Sensei Negima | Creature feature | Ask/offer requests

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Konoka's stayed Iris for as long as she's been here, but I've learned that bats are surprisingly cute so I went with making her one, rather than the deer that she's been.

Konoka looks largely like this, a work in progress from dogtoothed (waits tenderly for the completed thing). She always has the tentacle hair even when it's not Iris Moon, and her body/fur color scheme has changed from brunette to black/violet.

Konoka can freely transform her arms into wings like this and back again! She's not a quick flyer, but she's amazingly agile and flexible. She winds up favoring fruits and sometimes bugs if the local cuisine can 'fool' her enough to make them look like lobster/crab.

Rhea's currently just got scales and a snake tongue, but I might make her naga-like in the future.

I'm always up for more art though, especially since I can use it for icons. Konoka can never have enough icons!

I unfortunately can't draw worth anything but I'm willing to make icons, if you don't mind me largely being limited to crops. 100 by 100 is easy for me to make.

mary • dextera and serge battour • creature features, trades, requests!

[passio]

i actually recently drew dextera and serge both, together with their primary traits!! dextera gets to be a weird and creepy kraken, while serge is a very (bear-y) good bear.

i love doing rp art, so i’m happy to take small requests, especially if we’ve had a thread before!! i can’t always promise i’ll finish since my motivation comes and goes (and if anyone wanted to trade, i’d like to give priority to that.....) but i still love doodling!!

for trades, i’d like to talk a little more in-depth, but i’m always open to anything :^)

hsumi | Yaha-kui zaShunina | Creature Feature

[fractaljesus]

Goodness, it's been a while since I've drawn anything.

I drew a reference image of zaShunina's Iris transformation a few months ago, as well as a few other pieces back in 2017 when the show (and the pain) was still fresh.

I really should do art more often...

Agony Unending (Original) and Trish Una (JJBA) | Creature Feature

[dies]

okay yeah I've not actually apped trish yet but if you think I'm passing up a chance to draw a monstergirl you're super wrong

Agony is a ghost who sometimes has legs and sometimes has a lil casper-esque ghost tail. His Iris transformation gets rid of both of those in favour of just a buncha tentacles. They glow in the dark and they're super goopy. He doesn't know why they would be goopy. Please nobody explain that detail of the Iris cycle you'll upset him immensely. They're squishy and would give good hugs if not for the goopy thing. Also, he'll be trying to fit them into pants at first so this first Iris cycle will be spent octodad-ing around.

Trish is probably going to be a koi for her Sanguis transformation I have no idea how the fuck she put those shorts on over the leg fins, and in practice she'll be having to stick to skirts and underwear that ties at the sides. She'd be super pretty like this except she is also going to be significantly more judgemental about people's body odor than usual and also kind of ANGERY. If she ever ends up going exalted (I'm getting WAY ahread of myself here) she's just going to straight up evolve into Gyarados.

I have no commission deets available right now but I'm tentatively open to them, I just need to not be lazy. And I'll probably keep throwing art at people on this post throughout the week when I get time to do it, because see that comment on passing up chances to draw monstergirls.

[nipzips]

oh god that beautiful fishy trish

PLEASE MAKE HER EVOLVE TO GYARADOS

Confidence (Connie) | D&D OC

[wildsorcery]

Connie's Iris moonblessing makes his body translucent! (But not his hair.) He also gets jellyfish tendrils at the end of his tail instead of the usual arrow-shape.
