A digital illustration of two boys in fancy Victorian evening wear, sitting by a fountain in a garden lit with glowy orange lights. One boy is wearing blue to match his hair, and has cat ears and a tail. The other boy is wearing red/orange to match his fluffy fox tail and ears. He also looks like he's pouting ):.
Character reference sheet for Korneli Kovalenko, a character from The Magical Freelancer's Guild webcomic (sort of.) He's a stocky middle-aged man with light brown skin, brown hair and heavy eyebrows. One image shows his clown costume, featuring a purple and yellow coat with a diamond pattern, plaid pants and clown makeup. He has a giant novelty hammer. He's also shown in his more casual outfit, wearing a dark red vest, dark brown pants and sleeve garters. Bonus image of him wearing a brown chore coat and a flat cap. Text on the image reads: Korneli Kovalenko Age: 40s? Height: 5'6" - This is specifically Korneli as he appeared when he was appoximately 40 years old. If he were to show up in the comic's current timeline, he'd be in his 60's - Used to be a soldier in his 20's, but won't give any further details - Outside of his clown costumes, he dresses pretty plainly, in dark colours ⁃ Yes he can actually smile, just, rarely
A digital illustration. Tari Vasquez, a transmasc Cyberpunk character with brown skin, long purple hair and metal... things??? On his face and chest. Idk anything about the game but it's like top surgery scars but cyberpunk 😤. Anyways, he's shirtless and in the middle of putting his hair up.
A digital comic panel. Wilfrid, a man with chin-length hair, a pointy nose and an oversized sweater lies on his back on the floor. Another man, Oliver, wearing a tank top and tattered jeans with a plaid shirt tied around his waist is straddling him. Oliver has grabbed Wil's face and turned it towards him, leaning in... menacingly(?)

A digital drawing of two men. One is a younger man dressed as a 1800s police officer, wearing a long heavy coat, police helmet and gloves. The other is an older, taller, and significantly bigger man with a greying red beard, a patched jacket and a flat cap. The first man is wagging his finger at the second with a smug smile, saying "you two behave yourselves today, kay?" while the second man scowls down at him.

A digital illustration. A woman in a green 1890's-style evening dress with gold accents. The dress is low-cut, revealing several tattoos on her chest and upper arms. The yellow underskirt of the dress is torn to shit. She's sitting on the edge of a fancy wooden desk in an old fashioned office, with one foot up, showing off her petticoat and drawers, etc. She's holding a gun and smoking. akawjrbkawjr I'm not doing great with alt text today apparently. Whateverrr.
Palm Size Small in size but can still things. And it's a palm-sized Luca. Hardly more than an apple tall. Luca is a scrawny pasty androgynous person with short brown hair, yellow eyes and red-tinted glasses. They're wearing a bastardized version of a kimono and hakama pants because they are an absolute dweeb like that.
The "Shut the fuck up TERF" meme image of an anime girl pointing a photorealistic gun at the viewer, but this time it's Monty Birch from The Magical Freelancer's Guild instead.
A screenshot of an ArtFight character connection. Caspian Argyle by BirdeeBlake Oliver Graham is Caspian's employer. He's not entirely sure what he's employed as, but there's never a dull day at work! He also sees him as a mix of a father figure and object of infatuation. Oliver Graham by BirdeeBlake Graham sees Caspian as one of his most useful tools. He can basically get him to do anything!
Bon from the webcomic King of Sorts, wearing sort of his outfit from the early chapters except his coat is much longer and there's some floral print fabric on his pants. He's also got a lava dagger thing and there's more lava stuff going on in the background. I'm really tired. Also he's upside down?? Geez.
A digital illustration of a young-looking half-elf woman with light skin with freckles, chin-length blonde hair, blue eyes, and slightly pointed ears. She's wearing black armour with yellow trim that leaves her muscle mommy arms exposed as she swings a long sword.
A digital comic page featuring Monty (a trans man with a pointy nose, long, dark hair in a ponytail, and a bowtie) and Petra Raskoph (tall, androgynous woman with pale skin, light brown hair, and a light blue eye, plus an eyepatch). In the first panel, Monty is plugging a nostril to snort a bunch of dirt and grass(??) out of the other one, still wearing Petra's coat, which is a bit too big for him, and looking somewhat dishevelled. Next, Petra tries on Monty's coat. "And you made this yourself?" Monty responds from the ground: "For the most part, yup!" Off-screen, Petra asks "Hm? What's this in the pocket?" followed by a loud SNAP And then a big panel of Petra, crouched on the ground beside Monty, holding her hand, which now has a mousetrap on it :') ow. "Why is there a mousetrap in your pocket!?" "... Trade secret?"

A flat-coloured digital drawing of a stocky man with brushed back brown hair, heavy eyebrows and orange eyes. He's wearing a plain off-white shirt without a collar, with the sleeves pushed up, and dark brown trousers. He's holding a hammer, resting it on his shoulder. He looks kinda grumpy?
A digital illustration of a character from The Magical Freelancer's Guild webcomic. Oliver Graham, a middle-aged white man with greying light brown hair and pale blue eyes. He's shirtless and his pants are undone, though I tried being fancy and the pants aren't even visible 😔. He's sticking his pinkie finger in his ear and grimacing. A wiggly blue line, like a sound wave, appears to come out of his ear and fade into the black background.

Oliver Graham, a middle-aged man with greying light brown hair, wearing a black frock coat, pants, and gloves, seen from the back as he runs forward, while drawing a cane sword. Despite the red lighting, it's cold, as shown by Oliver's visible cloud of breath.
A digital illustration of a character from The Magical Freelancer's Guild webcomic. Oliver Graham, a middle-aged white man with greying light brown hair and pale blue eyes. His hair is dishevelled, his shirt sleeves are rolled up, and his black vest is entirely undone. His stubble is particularly pronounced and there are bags under his eyes. Sitting on a fancy green couch, he's rubbing his forehead and squinting one-eyed at some papers he's holding.
A digital illustration featuring two versions of the same character-- Caspian Argyle from The Magical Freelancer's Guild webcomic. He's a tall young man with red hair, light brown skin and orange eyes. On the left, his hair is chopped messily to just past his chin. He's wearing what looks like hospital pajamas, and his right hand and entire left arm are covered in bandages. He's gripping his left arm and grimacing, his head bowed. On the right, facing away from the viewer somewhat, he's wearing a red frock coat, black pants, black gloves, and a vest with a clerical collar. His hair is longer but tied back in a topknot. He's holding one hand up, mid-gesture, as a stream of blood appears to come from up his sleeve and float across the canvas. The background is stormy and gloomy, save for a few bright rays of dappled sunlight on the right side.
Digital art. A character from The Magical Freelancer's Guild webcomic, except it's the 1990s instead. A man with short brown hair in sort of a curtain bangs style? He's wearing a white tank top tucked in to ripped jeans, and has a green plaid shirt tied around his waist. There are tan lines on his arms and around his neck. His arms and shirt are covered in dirt.

A digital sketch (kinda). A young scrawny man wearing a heavy wool coat and a furry hat, with hair down nearly to his shoulders. He looks really moody 😐 and is holding an axe, resting it against one shoulder.
A digital comic cover. Monty, a young man with his hair in a half-ponytail is sitting on the stone steps outside a door, cradling an infant in his arms. The baby is wrapped up in a pink blanket and Monty is gently booping her on the nose. The whole scene is lit by a warm, dappled light.

A digital comic panel. Wilfrid, a young man with medium length hair, a few chin whiskers, and a pointy nose, wearing an oversized sweater over a button up shirt. He's lying on his back, looking to the side with a melancholic expression on his blushing face. Someone is above him, out of the shot wjth just their hand visible beside his head, and he's holding his own hand up as if he's trying to shield his face, but not putting all that much effort into it.

Another man, Oliver, wearing a tank top and tattered jeans with a plaid shirt tied around his waist is straddling him.

The other is slightly shorter, with short brown hair, wearing an unbuttoned plaid shirt over a tank top. The second man is using his cigarette to light that of the first man, who looks mildly flustered about it. There's a warm, retro film-ish filter over the whole image.
A cartoony digital illustration. A man with blond hair, sideburns and a pointy nose, wearing a striped button-up shirt and blue trousers with suspenders, is tied up with red ropes and held up by another man with short brown hair, wearing a black frock coat and top hat with an orange puff tie. The blond man looks annoyed and flustered, and text by his face says "Put me down". The other man just looks smug, I guess? They're standing in front of a red curtain background.

A rough digital sketch of a man with floppy hair, scruffy sideburns, and a pointy nose. He looks miserable. Text by his face says "put me down >:c"
A digital comic panel. A young boy with chin-length dark hair, medium-brown skin and green eyes, sticks out his tongue while looking offscreen with an expression of disgust. Like P:< blehh. He's wearing a green jacket, red vest, and a brown hood. Behind him, out of focus, is a red and white set of bleachers.
A digital comic panel. Korneli Kovalenko, a heavyset man with chin-length brown hair, orange eyes and heavy eyebrows, wearing a flat cap and a brown chore coat, stares intensely past the viewer with a serious expression. However, he's also blushing the tiniest bit and there's a tiny 💗 floating nearby.
A digital comic panel. Outside on a misty morning, Korneli, a man wearing a flat cap, a brown chore coat and fingerless gloves, leans against a wooden fence. He's looking over at something with an intense, serious expression-- but also appears to be blushing. Walking towards him, hands in his pockets, is a young boy wearing knee pants, a green jacket, red vest and a hood. He's following Korneli's gaze and looks less than impressed at whatever they're looking at. In the background is a set of bleachers with a faded red and white diamond pattern painted on them.
A cropped digital illustration. A man with blond hair, sideburns, a pointy nose and a mole under his eye. He's wearing a wing collar with a blue tie and a vest made from some shiny orange brocade fabric. He's frowning, one eyebrow raised, at someone nearby. "There is *nothing wrong* with my nose." He says in a speech bubble.
A digital comic panel. A man with chin-length hair, a pointy nose and an oversized sweater lies flat on his back on the floor of the car repair shop, wincing in pain. Another man wearing a tank top and tattered jeans with a shirt tied around his waist is on top of him, sort of on all fours but not? One knee is still off the ground and one of his hands is holding the back of the other man's head, as if he's tried to protect it.
A digital illustration of Monty and Zendaya, two characters from the webcomic The Magical Freelancer's Guild. Zendaya is a dark-skinned woman with curly hair and an eyepatch. She's sitting and drinking tea, reading a magazine on her lap. Monty is a young man with medium-brown skin and long dark hair in a ponytail, wearing a vest.
A digital comic panel. Two men standing outside of a car repair shop. The man on the left has chin-length hair, a pointy nose and is wearing a sweater over a button up shirt. He looks like he's just been startled/flustered. On the right is a man who is slightly shorter, wearing a tank top that shows off some of his chest hair. He's leaning against the wall and nearly touching the other man. He has what he probably thinks is an apologetic smirk on his face.
Digital drawing of a young man with long red hair. He's sitting on the floor, one arm resting on his knee. He's entirely nude, except for a blue cloth draped over his waist. From the left side of his chest, down to his left hand, is a burn scar.
Cropped screenshot of Clip Studio's 3D head model subtool settings. All the variations of the head model look like they're staring, heads tilted, towards the camera.
A digital illustration. Monty, from The Magical Freelancer's Guild comic, a trans man with medium-brown skin, is shown twice-- on the right, he has his long wavy hair in a ponytail, wearing a green vest, brown sack coat, matching trousers and a red tie. He's smiling wide and gesturing dramatically. On the left is a slightly younger version of him, mostly facing away. His hair is shorter and looks damp, and he's shirtless, but wearing fishtail back trousers . On his back are several cuts and a mix of fresh and dried blood. There's some blood on his face too, coming from his forehead, and his expression is uncharacteristically grim. He's holding a shiny pair of scissors, and there's a little flash of blue coming from his eye. The two are both surrounded by floating embers.
Two digital comic panels. In both, a young man with a pointy nose and floppy hair is lying on his back, looking flustered and concerned. A hand from someone out of frame is holding his head. In the first panel, the man is looking towards the hand. In the second, nearly identical panel, he looks straight up towards, presumably, the owner of said hand.
A blurry af photo of a bluejay mid-take off from the branch of a mossy, damp tree. Zoomed in as heck. It looks like it was raining at the time, too?

A five panel digital comic. 1: a scrawny blond man with a few pathetic whiskers in lieu of a moustache, wearing an oversized sweater, reaches out his hand, smiling nervously. "Ha ha... whoops!" 2: The hand offering him his fancy zippo lighter back suddenly yoinks it out of reach. 3: the hand belongs to another man, slightly shorter but definitely stronger and hairier, who :3 at the blond man. 4: the first man makes another grab for the lighter, and it's once again held just beyond his reach. 5: he tries yet again, getting up close and personal and reaching up to scrabble at the back of the hand holding the lighter.
A digital comic panel of a clown with red hair, a big red nose, and red, blue, and white face paint. He's wearing an oversized orange polkadot bowtie and an expression one could describe as barely concealed panic. The text beside him says, "oh shit".
"You smell like booze, Cas." "I smell like *expensive* booze."
Three digital comic panels. A young man with medium length hair and a pointy nose stows a box inside his oversized sweater and looks over his shoulder at another man-- or mostly just his abs, exposed when he lifts up his tank top to wipe the sweat off of his face. Then the first guy is like 😳.
A digital drawing of two men standing close together, one of them with a freshly lit cigarette in his mouth and an annoyed expression 🤨. The other is looking like >_> away from him.
