A Linktober to the OC’s Fanart Emoji

🇩🇪 Ihr habt es gemerkt, der Oktober ist da! Und wie jedes Jahr begebe ich mich auch in diesem auf eine tintige Reise. Schon im letzten Jahr bin ich über den Linktober gestolpert. Damals war ich bereits in zwei Challenges involviert und der Oktober ohnehin fast zu Ende. Dieses Jahr werde ich aber von vorne bis hinten mit dabei sein.

Oben links könnt ihr tagtäglich die Fortschritte nun mitverfolgen. Um die ganze Geschiche zu lesen, empfehle ich aber auch, diese auf der entsprechenden Themenseite nachzuschlagen.

Auf Abenteuer geschickt habe ich meinen Zorca-OC, die ihr bereits aus dem Jahr 2019 und dem Redraw im Rahmen des Mermay 2021 kennt. Nun hat sie endlich auch einen Namen erhalten – Navarra.

You’ve noticed, October is here! And like every year, again I’m going on a tinty journey. I already stumbled across Linktober last year. At that time I was already involved in two other challenges and October was almost over anyway. This year, however, I will be into it from start to finish.

At the top left, you now have insight to the daily progress. To read the whole story, however, go to the themed webpage.

I sent my Zorca OC on the adventure who you already know from 2019 and the redraw in Mermay 2021. Now she finally has been given a name – Navarra.

Mermay 24, "Weapon", digital painting, comic style, a redraw of a 2019 painting (more elaborated): A "Zora", a creature from the video game "The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild". They are a folk of humanoids with long linmbs, fins attached to their elbows and a head resembling marine life (fish like) forms where otherwise would be the hair. This one's head and colouring resembles an orca: Face, chest, belly and parts of legs and arms are white, the rest is dark grey. She is wearing golden jewelry with green and azure gems, a bright grey collar and holding a spear. The ground she is standing on is covered with water, the center of the background ist a deep blue, white strokes are suggesting water falling from above. On the left and right a brighter blue. Title, written in the font of the title of the video game: "The Legend Of Zelda #Breath Of The Wild - Rise Of The Zorca"

Außer der Linktober-Challenge habe ich mich in der letzten Woche aber auch noch am Erstellen von Emojis z. B. für Discord-Server versucht. Das hat sogar so gut funktioniert, dass ich sie ab nun als Willkommensgeschenk und Treue-Bonus in meine Patreon-Benefits mit aufgenommen habe.

Eines davon ist zugleich auch ausgewachsene Fanart geworden: Zoe, eine der Personen, denen man im (sehr intensen und nahegehenden und deshalb schwer zu empfehlenden) Videospiel Road 96 auf dem Weg zur Grenze begegnet.

Apart from the Linktober Challenge, I also tried creating emojis for example for Discord servers. This turned out so well that I have now included them in my Patreon benefits as welcome gift and loyalty bonus.

One of them even became a full scale fanart piece: Zoe, one of the characters you meet on the way to the border in the (very intense and touching and therefore highly recommendable) video game Road 96.

Digital Painting, comic style: An angry looking youn woman with long, red-brown hair, covering her left ear, she has purple piercings in the rim of the right ear and one purple piercing in the brow, brows and nose are wrinkled, she has got vivid green eyes

#MeetMyOCs ging in die dritte Runde. Neben Navarra hat nun auch Crissys Crush endlich einen Namen erhalten und Emil emilt fröhlich vor sich hin. An dieser Stelle werneut der dezente (*hust!*) Hinweis, dass ihr das Template mit transparentem Hintergrund auch über Patreon oder Ko-fi beziehen könnt.

#MeetMyOCs the Third. In addition to Navarra, Crissy’s Crush likewise finally has been given a name and Emil is emiling happily. At this point, I would like to discreetly (*cough!*) point out that you can also get the template with a transparent background via Patreon or Ko-fi.

Digital painting, comic style: A sheet "Meet my OCs" (Part 3) with four boxes in the lower half, one text box "Name(s)", "Origins", "Occupation(s)", "Misc", four boxes with information regarding my OCs, in the upper left corner another box with my contact information, hashtag #MeetMyOcs; atop of the boxes three of my OCs: 1) Emil; The Tale of Cedrakon (Original Story); The Princess' Wooden Bathing Duck; Soap box in his rear end; Made of Heroes' Wood - smooth but robust, never gets lost; Can be used as weapon 2) Paula; Arcryla City (Discord Server); Crissy's Crush; Loves to ride the Jetbike; Very extrovert, goes fast straight ahead if s.o. / s.th. arouses her interest; Looses interest equally fast 3) Navarra; Leg. of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Video Game) Fanart 2019 - Redraw 2021; Heroine-to-be; Orca based Zora (Zorca); Found the spear in the river near the Zorca Domain and the adventure began

Und schließlich das, was bereits seit mehreren Wochen angekündigt war:

Gestern Abend (Morgen nach pazifischer Zeit) gab es ein weiteres Arcryla-City-Showcase. Meinen Beitrag kann ich euch hiermit nun endlich präsentieren.

Last but not least the event announced for weeks:

Yesterday evening (morning after Pacific time) there was another Arcryla City showcase. I finally can present my entry:

„Midnight Snack“

Crissy’s pets are water bears. They usually are not bigger in size than one millimeter. Therefore, Crissy constructed a mechanical water bear so she can take them for a walk, equipped with a projectoscope to watch them living their little water bear lives. Every so often she has to feed them algae, of course.
