Hakuoki Oc - Tumblr Posts

All the drawings of my Hakuouki OCs (featured in my fic "A Friend Like You") that I made over the course of Drawtober 2023! ✍🌸

#21 Maiko Furukawa Kohana #9 Tayu Ba Makoto

#19 Tengu Tani Sanjuro #5 Furukawa Chie & Yokai

This artwork was entirely painted in MS Paint! I hadn't drawn in MS Paint since 2012 so revisiting it was both fun and nostalgic! ✍🎨

Kohana is a half-tengu (yokai with a crow-like appearance 👺) maiko from the 19th century, so I used a style similar to Japanese Ukiyo-e portraits. 🌊

Kohana's name also means "Little Flower" so I included many flowers around her, the farthest ones in black as homage to her supernatural self. You can also see the Japanese spelling of Kohana's name above my signature! 🗻🌸

I chose to follow the Pass It On Meme chain that my sister ShimoDuck posted by drawing Furukawa Chie, one of my Hakuouki OCs! 😉

Could that be Heisuke's Shinsengumi Haori? 👀💕

Old 2018 drawing of Chie and Kohana, main characters of my Hakuouki fic "A Friend Like You." 😉🌸

Old 2016 drawing of Heisuke holding "Yokai", the stray Shiba Inu puppy that Chie adopted in my Hakuouki fic. 🐶💖

(I used an official "Kaze Hikaru" picture as reference for this illustration!❤).

I'm among the artists taking part in the Coloring Books for Charity Project hosted by the DeviantArt group Charity-Guild! 📚✏️

My OC Furukawa Kohana is a half-tengu (yokai with a crow-like appearance 👺) maiko and her name means "Little Flower" so I included many flowers and crows as homage to her supernatural self. 🗻🌸 She often defends herself with a metal fan in my Hakuouki fic "A Friend Like You", so I also put some in the Art Nouveau style frame that I drew around her. 👍

I'm happy to participate not only because I love coming up with coloring pages, but because this project will benefit the Sick Kids Hospital, as ReallyColor will professionally print the coloring books so that they can be distributed to the children who are patients at the hospital! 🤗💖

It's been exactly one month since I started painting the coloring page I drew for the "Coloring Books for Charity" Project that we'll deliver to the Sick Kids Hospital (my inner child couldn't hold back the urge to color it, lol! 🖌️) and I finally managed to complete working on my OC! 😂👏

I've now started coloring the Art Nouveau frame around her, so I hope I can share the finished coloring page here soon! 🎨💖

🖌️Colored Version Update: Hey, everyone! 👋 I decided to paint the coloring book page that I designed last month for the "Coloring Books for Charity Project" because my inner child couldn't contain herself after I drew it, haha! 🤭

Btw, here's each portrait on its own (because you can't zoom in on Tumblr's PC version 👀) and also the OCs vs Artist clean template (.PNG file) I designed in case someone else wants to fill this art meme!

Here's my version of the OCs vs Artist meme! ✍💖

🔸Favorite OC: My poor freckled daughter with self-esteem issues whose life I love to mess up with memory issues and vampiric apocalypses, Furukawa Chie (Hakuouki OC) and her mischievous Shiba Inu stray dog, Yokai.

🔸First OC: April Saito (Digimon OC), who I created when I was only 10 years old! April will grow up to become a Digimon rights activist, so I thought it'd be fun to draw her protesting with a "✅Yes to Digital Intelligence / ❌No to Artificial Intelligence" sign along with Gigimon, who has a matching anti-AI bandana.

🔸Fans' Favorite OC: Rice Ritz, head of the "Kame Warriors" (my troop of Time Patroller OCs from Dragon Ball Xenoverse), who used to be wildly popular back in 2018 when we ran amazing "OC vs OC" tournaments on DeviantArt.

🔸Easiest to Draw OC: Furukawa Kohana (Hakuouki OC), which caused my sister to go "What do you mean Kohana is the easiest one for you to draw?!". 😂 Maiko/Geiko are one of my special interests, so she's one of the few OCs I can draw from memory without having to consult a character sheet, lol.

🔸Hardest to Draw OC: Tani Sanjuro (Hakuouki OC), the arrogant yet skillful captain of the 7th Division of the Shinsengumi that both me and my fic's readers love to hate… and who has features as difficult to draw as his whole wardrobe!

🔸The Artist: Lady Yomi herself! 👀 Referenced from a real photo so that's why I'm wearing my noise cancelling headphones, haha.

New PFP, Who Dis? 👀 It's been 3 years since I last changed my profile pic, so I decided to switch the Yomi one from this 2021 Terranigma artwork, for the Tani Sanjuro (Hakuouki OC) portrait I recently posted. 👍

Both of them have the same kind of sneaky, sarcastic, cocky, know-it-all, but ultimately a jerk with a heart of gold personality, haha. 🤭 These types of characters tend to be the most fun for me to write, so seeing them in my PFP causes me to feel quite inspired to work on my stories! ✍💖

Omg this is surprisingly accurate?! 😂 I tried it out with my Hakuouki OCs, haha:

🍙Chie:

🌸Kohana:

🐦Tani:

i got tired of there being no good oc quizzes so i made my own!

I've already written +3k words of the new chapter of "A Friend Like You" (Spanish version; which I'll be translating into English after it's posted like I always do 👍), and I'm sure I would've been able to finish writing the whole thing today if it wasn't because my joints started hurting too much and I had to get some rest, ugh. 🙃

(The 40 hours of working on the Uruguay!Miku artwork broke me, lmao. 💀).

I'm surprised at how much I enjoy and how easy it's for me to write good old Sanosuke, haha, which I'm sure is a result of how much I adore him. 💖 Heisuke's wingman role fits him so well??? Sano has a mature and patient vibe that's great for smoothing things out between two teenagers who (at least for now) only know how to yell at each other when it comes to conflict resolution. 😂

I don't know, man, he deserves good things and I'm feeling pretty tempted to switch the current Sakamoto/Takayama Ume (secondary OC) pairing for the Sanosuke/Ume one since I still haven't posted any chapters featuring the former, lol. 👀 But I don't wanna give more spoilers! Yomi out! 🤸🏻‍♀️

I thought of making more portraits of my OCs in the same art style I used in my recent "OCs VS Artist" meme to include them on their profiles at my Toyhouse account. 📸✨ This distinguished lady is Ba Makoto, the tayu who owns the Okiya where Kohana works, and who's much more than what she seems at first glance!

I thought of making more portraits of my OCs in the same art style I used in my recent "OCs VS Artist" meme to include them on their profiles at my Toyhouse account. 📸✨ This is Tani Mantaro, the adoptive younger brother of my other OC Tani Sanjuro, and also a selfless doctor who tried to (unsuccessfully, lol 💀) heal Sannan's arm!

I thought of making more portraits of my OCs in the same art style I used in my recent "OCs VS Artist" meme to include them on their profiles at my Toyhouse account. 📸✨ This is Takayama Ume; daughter of a Choshu scholar, waitress at the Mao restaurant, and best friend of my other OC Furukawa Chie!

⏳Journey to the Past: First artwork featuring Furukawa Chie (OC) and Toudou Heisuke that I made in 2016; a year before I started posting "A Friend Like You" (Hakuouki fanfic).

💡Fun Fact: Due to their similar hair color, many people thought that Heisuke's ponytail was actually Chie's and I ended up receiving multiple gift art of Chie sporting a ponytail added to her traditional hairstyle. 😂 This led me to make sure to color her hair with a different shade of brown than Heisuke's in future drawings, lol!

I thought of making more portraits of my OCs in the same art style I used in my recent "OCs VS Artist" meme to include them on their profiles at my Toyhouse account. 📸✨ This is Furukawa Izanagi; father of my other OCs Chie and Kohana, and cook/owner of the very successful "Mao" restaurant!

(🍜Fun Fact: His business became popular among the Kyoto locals after it caught fire and nearly killed a member of the Shinsengumi, lol!).

I thought of making more portraits of my OCs in the same art style I used in my recent "OCs VS Artist" meme to include them on their profiles at my Toyhouse account. 📸✨ This is Furukawa Mao; mother of my other OCs Chie and Kohana, and also a former miko priestess who set in motion the plot's events by wronging a Tengu clan! (She looks so young because huh... the poor thing died before said plot starts 💀).
