these ocs are really developed for ocs who don’t have names KJFLDSJHKDL

my witch woman and her friend from work~ she doesnt have a lot of friends ‘cause she has trouble expressing her emotions but these two ended up in a cubicle together and her coworker doesn’t mind talking about different species of frogs with her so they’re pals

#art #ocs #oc art #traditional art #watercolour #i desperately need to name these guys. witch woman. coworker. the cat man. all NAMELESS #because im a cruel cruel oc creator.....developing everything but leaving them all unnamed hjkfdldfhKSDLS #also unrelated but i recently had to get some new india ink cause my old bottle finally gave out #(it was nearly 8 years old and only had a few mls left so one day i opened it and it was completely separated and dried out RIP)#and like so i used to use speedball india ink all the time but then switched to kuretake because the speedball bottle is evil #(it WILL mysteriously splatter ink everywhere while also drying the cap to the body)#and like i think those inks are basically super comparable like straight up almost the same #(its india ink so i mean. theres not much to mess up there BUT i have had some really shitty india inks before!!)#(hated the demco stuff cause it didn't flow well on dip pens (too slippery?) and both demco and higgins was too gray)#(i need my india ink to be BLACK like WHY would i want dark gray india ink when i can get the same dark gray from markers)#(i use dip pens and india ink BECAUSE i want the waterproof darkness only carbon water and shellac can provide hejfdkslflhjfkdls)#but now that my kuretake ran out and buying it rn would be super hard (i was very lucky and was able to get it for like 9 bucks years ago)#(but now i'd have to pay like thrice the price and wait super long orz) so i went back to speedball despite their wretched bottles #and now that im using it again after so long using kuretake i am noticing some interesting subtle differences #like i said theyre both just as good. speedballs bottle sucks. kuretake is a bit thick sometimes. pros and cons lol #but interestingly i forgot about how speedball dries so like. convex? like they both dry shiny (thats da shellac baby!!!!) but kuretake goes #like pretty flat? while speedball feels more raised and ever so slightly more shiny? ive also noticed the watercolor like slides off it #maybe speedball has way more shellac? its not bad its actually kinda nice. bottle still sucks tho. hopefuly i can transfer it to another LOL #anyway this has been. impromptu ink reviews with your host bmpmp3 thank u and goodnight
