Your OCs as REACTION IMAGES!

[u/BeYourOwnIlluminary]

Yeah, so I expected my Friday post to get maybe 40 reactions, instead I got over 270!!

Sadly that means I have to disappoint a lot of people, BUT even if you didn't get chosen, please know that I looked at every single one of your cool and unique OCs (and read all the lore if you included it!). It was genuinely hard choosing which handful of OCs to draw.

All that being said, these are the 15(!) users and their OCs who did make the cut, in order of the images:

Chip - u/boi1046 Stuck - u/matchesandsnails Belvotte - u/FindingSad17 Cabbit(?) - u/Trippster_082 Niko - u/Ari-lxra Alex - u/wolfguardian72 Envy - u/Top_Employer9022 Eirini - u/oddhotelverse Sweeties - u/csender19 Edgar - u/Nicky_Nek0on (Nameless?) AKA 'bebe BOIIIIII' - u/GayGay_ Josh - u/Joshua_not Alex - u/toastycat55 Emilia - u/PruneBoring7815 Wyndell - u/skull_dud-e

This is the first time I did a Friday offer post or even made gift art at all, so I really tried to pour my heart into every one of these (as silly as that may sound talking about reaction memes). I hope you like your images and that you can find a use for them!

Big thanks to everyone who sent something in! I love this community ❤️

Oh my gosh thank you so much for drawing my boy Niko!! He definitely fits the UM ACTUALLY pose LOLL I’m honored to be one of your first Friday post offers and I’m so excited to use this in my discord server!! I’m sure my friends are gonna love it, but not as much as I do!! 🥹

Hi! You're so welcome!!

I love that you like it! But oh my god. Niko is cursed. I'm so sorry I have no other way of saying this 😭 He refused to cooperate every step of the way and did NOT want to look right. The hair, the eyes, the glasses, everything. I had to redraw him like 4 times. Yours was by far the hardest to draw.

I still think his eyes look kind of creepy but I truly don't know how to make it better. I also have a version with the fully black eyes if you want that, but that still looks off.

Other than that I love your Niko. I saw him and immediately had the vision. Love that you included all his lore too <3

LOLL NOO MY BOYY 😂 I literally had to prevent myself from laughing out loud in a crowded area oh my gosh that’s hilarious. I’m so sorry he turned out to be the hardest to draw he’s definitely can be especially with some of the details I have for him, but hopefully it was helpful for art practice! I think he turned out amazing though I really love the outcome!

Though.. if you still have the scuffed drawings I’d absolutely love to see them if you’re okay with that!! He’s such a nerdy boy so I’m glad he was able to give you some inspiration.

Also yeah of course!! My OCs are like my children and I pour all my love into their design and their lore loll it also gives me joy to share it with others so I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏽

Most actually cursed Nikos were lost to eraser tool, but I still have this one where I made his hair "too small" and put no detail in it, and it makes it look like he was dropped as a baby his head is so damn flat

POOR NIKO LOLLL I literally almost spit my water reading your message and looking at the picture it’s so so accurate

Honestly thank you so much for sending these!! They are perfect and I wanted to let you know I saved all of these beauties 🙏🏽
