Hey. I'm Dan. He/him
I'm a hobby artist who likes drawing cute things. I mostly draw OCs. It's fun.
This is a SFW space.
- Reposted by DanStillCreatesit's pretty dope writing, drawing, creating in general. using your human goods, your clumsy fingers, and forgetful distracted brain constantly dashing toward new ideas. doubting everything. freaking out. working through it. after all that, you end up with something only you could have possibly made.

- I swear I've been using the word "gorgeous" more often lately. I guess there's just a lot of gorgeous things in the world.
- One of JoyJoy's favorite types of parties #originalcharacter #OC
- #octhoughts Drawing Breeze dealing with magical mishaps has been fun. I think I should create some new characters specifically to cause problems for Breeze. Why not? That's pretty much why I created JoyJoy.

- Here's another magical mishap with Breeze! A stroll through an enchanted forest can have some surprising results. #originalcharacter #OC #wizardoc
- I really want to draw more scenes involving Breeze. She's the apprentice of a traveling wizard. I want to show what happens during her training and travels (both the good stuff and the mishaps). If you have any ideas or prompts for this, feel free to suggest them.
- Breeze had a little trouble with the levitation spell. She'll get back down eventually. #originalcharacter #OC #wizardoc

- Me: No, brain. Don't start associating this song with that OC. Only a few parts actually fit the character. My brain: A few parts is enough for me! Play it 20 more times while I imagine the animatic!
- The Sentinel hates the Showman so much. He thinks the Showman is the most diabolical villain in the galaxy and has to be stopped. The hatred is not mutual. The Showman just likes to mess with him.
- Who's the one person your OC hates the most? Is this hate mutual? #dailyocs
- #octhoughts Talking about JoyJoy with other people has made me realize that the true tragedy of JoyJoy is there are plenty of people who would love to be friends with her but she wound up with Breeze instead. This is what happens when I create a character just to mess with Breeze specifically.
- Sometimes, I get a little upset with myself for not wanting to turn my wizard project into a webcomic. So many scenes from the story would look great in comic form. But I also really don't want to turn my wizard project into a webcomic. I just don't think that's the right medium for it.

- #octhoughts Just wanted to do some OC appreciating. I really like Breeze! She's such a fun character! I love how enthusiastic she is! I love how much of a nerd she is! I love how fascinated she is by things others would find strange and dangerous! I can't wait to draw more art of her!
- I should make some dragon OCs
- #octhoughts One day, I'm going to redesign Breeze. I'm not sure how much I'll change but there will be changes. When I designed Breeze, I had a different concept in mind than the one I have now. I can't help but wonder what she would've looked like if I had her current concept in mind back then.
- #octhoughts It's kind of amusing that during the creation of JoyJoy, I went from "I want to make a silly snake OC" to "Imagine if a powerful, unkillable being chose you as their favorite and wanted you to spend the rest of your life doing your least favorite activity with them".
- I decided to color it. Now that JoyJoy has arms, she just wants to use them to keep her favorite mortal close (and from escaping her domain). #originalcharacter #OC #wizardoc
- I felt like drawing JoyJoy in her cat form again but I made a few minor changes. Surely no one will want to run from her now that she's soft and warm, right? #originalcharacter #OC
- Reposted by DanStillCreatesYour monthly reminder that my long-hiatus'd webcomic, Gemini Journey, is actually kind of good and cute. If you want to read what happened to Veil and Gemini in the circus it is a complete (if short) read over at geminijourney.com !~
- Reposted by DanStillCreatesmake weird OCs. make cliched OCs. make OCs that would have childhood you kicking their feet and giggling. just keep making things that make YOU happy 🩷
- #octhoughts If my wizard project was in a medium that would allow it, JoyJoy would absolutely have a musical number. I guess it would qualify as a villain song. >:3c

- Breeze transitioned and made alterations to her body through magical means after she left home and began her apprenticeship. (After years of having no control over her own life, she wanted this to be the first thing she did with her freedom)
- How does your OC express their gender identity? Did they ever alter their body (by surgeries, magic,...) to fit their gender identity better? #dailyocs
- The Caretaker doesn't like talking about the true extent of her power. Outliers are absurdly powerful and and can do absolutely horrific things if they wanted to. The Caretaker doesn't even want to think about the harm and devastation she could cause. She just wants to do nice things for her guests.
- Is there anything your OC doesn't want to talk about? #dailyocs
- #octhoughts Today, I realized my second most drawn OC of 2025 was JoyJoy. I'm kinda surprised by that since she's only been around for a few months. My most drawn OC of 2025 was Breeze. I'm not at all surprised by that. :3
- I need yall to know if you've ever said something nice about the Caretaker, you made me very happy. She is my comfort OC but I'm glad she can bring comfort to others too.
- After sharing that pixel picture of JoyJoy on a discord server, I wrote a list of things she'd do if she could join the adventuring party in a game. Afterwards, I felt like drawing the last thing on the list. #originalcharacter #oc
- JoyJoy thinks "adventuring party" means something else. #originalcharacter #oc

- I had a dream recently in which I was playing a generic 8-bit platformer when the Caretaker suddenly showed up. Since then, I felt like recreating the way she looked in the game. I haven't done something like this in a long time but wanted to give it a try. #originalcharacter #oc #alienoc
- One of my favorite things to draw involving Breeze is her interacting with other characters (both other people's OCs and my own). I like exploring their dynamics and figuring out what they'd do if they were in the same space. I want to do that more often. It's fun.
- Another art thing I'd like to do this year is draw more crossovers between my OCs and other people's OCs. I love OC crossovers so much, yall!

- I want to draw more pictures of Breeze dealing with antics and magical mishaps but my goal is to make them a little more toon-like. I want to get better at drawing exaggerated poses and expressions. I want these pictures to be sillier.
- Maybe I tormented Breeze a little too much last year. Perhaps I should give her a break from that. I think she'd like to spend some time with the Caretaker. #originalcharacter #oc #alienoc #wizardoc
- What would like to see me draw more often this year? Is there a specific OC you want to see more art of? Would you like to see more comics? Is there something else you think I should give a try? Let me know. I'm curious.
- I felt the drive to draw one more picture before the end of 2025. JoyJoy isn't a bad singer. She's just loud. Twice as loud. #originalcharacter #oc #wizardoc
- I wanted to draw the Caretaker one more time before the end of the year. #originalcharacter #oc #alienoc
- JoyJoy thinks she and Breeze are much closer than they actually are. Her domain is basically a prison and the only people who have been there recently were boring old wizards who just wanted to do research. Now, she believes she has a friend she can party with. Breeze wishes she was doing research.
- I just felt like drawing Breeze in overalls. I should draw her in different outfits more often. #originalcharacter #OC #wizardoc
- Here's my 2025 art summary! Drawing was definitely a source of fun and comfort to me this year. It was really nice to work on my projects and develop my characters. #art #artsummary2025
- I have a bad feeling that I'm gonna start saying "boyo" more often.

- The Showman fell first. It was a very confusing time for them. They didn't even know Outliers could fall in love. They had no idea what to do. They figured it out eventually.
- #CoupleQuestion💗 Who fell first? #dailyocs
- #brushweek2025 Day 7 - Lovely Brush Here's a Lovely version of Breeze sending love to all who need it. I honestly didn't think I'd finish Brush Week but here we are! All seven days done! #originalcharacter #OC #wizardoc
