Dropping my Ko-Fi account because a commenter on AO3 was really sweet and asked about a Patreon/some way to tip me and it was very very kind of them to ask ;-; It's been a while since I shared it, and it's pretty far down on the Masterlist, so I just figured I'd surface it back up. <3

A big ol’ sketchdump I did for my original project Feathers and Flowers, with a big focus on Sakura! I was mostly exploring her as a character, specifically the aspect in which she’s a star athlete on her college team and some sketches exploring the relationship between her and Evangeline. uwu

ALLLLRIGHTY! Now that I’ve had some sleep I’m ready to share that lore and funfacts with ya, soooooo here we gooooooooo! —— 1.) As a student athlete, Sakura is expected to train almost daily in order to keep herself in tip-top shape for the team. The training she goes through is pretty intense and ruthless at times, but Sakura actually really enjoys it; it gives her an outlet for the high amount of energy she typically has (she’s basically an overgrown puppy). On “cool down days” she runs so she at least stays active, and in this instance Evangeline wanted to come along and run with her. She’s never played a sport before and outside the occasional walk, she’s never actually exercised before, and she asks Sakura to help her change that. Let’s just say, uhhh… well. She couldn’t keep up; barely was able to run a full mile (almost gave up half-way but Sakura encouraged her enough to do it) and afterward she’s a puddle of goo on the track ground. By that point Sakura’s already a few miles in, but she stops to scoop her exhausted roommate up like she weighs no less than a pillow and carry her to the shaded bleachers for rest. “I… I’m sorry…” Evangeline rasps through her gasping, feeling ashamed at her lackluster performance. “I-I should have been able to do more.” “Whatdya talkin about? It’s ya first time doing this, yeah? You did amazing!” Sakura says, but when Evangeline tries to protest, she shakes her head. “Nup up up! No beating yourself up; ya tried your hardest and that’s all I can ask for.” She cuts a crooked, sharp smile to her roommate and beams at her. “I’m so proud of you!” With the full force of that smile directed to her, Evangeline’s exhausted flush deepens and she feels butterflies in her stomach. 2.) Sakura coolin’ out after a hard workout. I was gonna give her a gatorade bottle but I didn’t feel like drawin’ it, so ya get a default waterbottle instead. Sorz. ;w; 3.) The concept sketch for her college uniform with their home colors. Another thing I’m kinda thinkin’ about is, as a star player of her team, Sakura and a few others are often asked to pose and take pictures for magazines geared toward college-level sports. This one could very well be one of ‘em; actually that might be fun, to do a sketchdump of Sakura on magazine covers. O: 4.) Towel in hand, Sakura’s gearin’ up to leave the gym and head on home for the day. Before she goes, she hears one of her teammates shout playfully “didn’t know it was sheepdog season, Scruffy!” A cant in her hip, she laughs out,“shut up, Quincy, I look good like this!” Sakura often keeps her hair well maintained and cut in her usual style: long in the front, short in the back. But every now and then, she’ll allow her hair to grow longer than usual, and this is what it typically looks like. I really like the look, actually! <: Also, Sakura is pretty confident in herself, but it isn’t often she acts smug and cocky about it. o3o 5.) A doodle to show off a clash between Sakura and an opposing player as she tries to run the ball. Sakura’s job as a power runningback is to… well. Literally power through anything and anyone who tries to stop her from advancing the ball forward. It’s no secret she’s strong, really strong, but she isn’t the only one, and there are instances where she has to really put her back into bulldozing if she wants to get through. This instance could be a part of a super important game or somethin’; not gonna lie I’m highly considering maybe writing a short story surrounding this doodle. o3o 6.) Evangeline in Sakura’s most favorite jacket (outside her letterman jacket). Maybe the two of 'em went out for a post-game party and Evangeline got cold, so Sakura just wraps her up in her jacket without question. Now would be a good time to officially state that, while I don’t know the endgame of their relationship, Evangeline canonically does develop a crush on Sakura (this happens a little later, when the whole gang are friends). The football player doesn’t actually know that, though, and she’s entirely oblivious to it. 7.) Kaela: *knowing look* Evangeline: … “Why are you looking at me like that?” Kaela: “You like her.” Evangeline: What? No I don’t. Kalea: ‘Ae, darling, you do. That blush isn’t just from the sun, no? Evangeline: “I-! That’s jus… O-of course it is! It’s hot out and I’m gross and sweaty and… stop looking at me like that!” Kaela: E kala mai ia`u. But you look cute with your face red like that.“ Evangeline: *sputters and blushes harder* Sakura might be oblivious to Eva’s crush, but Kaela certainly isn’t. And she certainly isn’t above some gentle teasing about it. >:3

8.) Just a quick doodle of Sakura being happy uwu One of the biggest aspects of her design is that her smile is always crooked (always favors the right side) and she always shows her teeth when she does, hence her signature sharp-ish grin. :>

Doodle-dump for OC-tober, featuring my girl Kaela from my og project Feathers and Flowers! :3 The prompt for this one was “Hobby”, and Kaela’s is gardening!

Kaela doesn’t actually see it as a hobby though; it’s more a passion. Gardening is what she wants to do for a living; she loves working with plants, enjoys nurturing them and growing them. She works with both food stuffs and flowers but flowers in particular are her favorite, especially because the many languages different floral arrangements can convey. :) Kaela actually moved away from her home island in hopes of chasing the dream of opening her own gardening shop, but it kinda fell through. But who knows! Maybe an opportunity will present itself? ;)

Some flavor text for the doodles above:

1) Kaela proudly showing off a watermelon she grew! It got bigger than anticipated but she’s happy regardless. uwu

2) and 4) Kaela hard at work! She usually throws on an old pair of overalls for more intensive stuff, but for something she finds a little more leisurely like simply planting a flower, she’ll just keep on whatever she’s wearing. Dirt doesn’t really bother her much O:

3) Hmmm…. wonder what, or who, that flower reminds our girl of? ;3

These were a bunch of fun to draw!! Been a little while since I did OC stuff and I really missed it, ngl. ;w; I hope ya’ll like it!! ^.^

I can’t believe why this blog isn’t more popular!!! I love your content!!!

Could you to make a tiny sitting/standing on a giant’s shoulder? I know it’s very cliche, but it never gets old!!!

((Tysm❤️‍🩹💕❤️ and indeed, it never gets old!))

*Well, I tried to stand up this one time… I was really unsure of myself and taking it really slow while we went sight-seeing. It wasn’t quick at all before he noticed. I could feel a jolt as he went to reach for me.*

“Hey, Stay down won’t you…”

“ᵂʰ⁻ ᴮᵘᵗ ᴵ ʷᵃˢⁿ’ᵗ ᵍᵒⁿⁿᵃ ᶠᵃˡˡᵎ”

“Please…?”

*I didn’t question it (out loud) for the rest of the night but I’ve been sitting ever since*

your OC is NOT overpowered. They have BELIEVABLE in-world disadvantages that YOU carefully crafted. You are ALLOWED to have super cool characters that are overpowered on PURPOSE
