It's 2017 and the worldbuilding just. Keeps. Happening.
Enter a world (several worlds) of magical dogs, Pokemon, warriors, dragons, and whatever else I can feasibly draw with my current skill level. Enjoy long, really long, I mean seriously I've wri...
So... just got back from my first regatta (more like gatta go fast, amiright?). It was a good time and we even got back at a Reasonable Hour but unfortunately I'm tired anyways. I'm just coming out of another f**king cold, too, and had to stay home from school on Friday because of it... basically I'm super behind on homework and I haven't been able to write anything. It's probably quite lucky I got all that writing in on Thursday, right?
While I wasn't feeling well enough to pull up another chapter, I did do some (quick, kind of shitty) sketches of some of my Dreamland characters who I guarantee almost no one remembers exist. Some of them I've never showed off here before, while others are just on the more obscure side.
Since I've been doing this series for so long, there's a lot of ways characters can fly under the radar. In some cases (Blossom, Cherry, Kairu) I just fail to give them any meaningful impact on the reader (these are usually characters who I end up cutting or revising later), while others such as Zinnia (below) end up transforming so dramatically that they're no longer identifiable as the same character. There are also just a lot (A LOT) of characters who exist in supporting lore or alternate universes and have no meaningful bearing on the plot nor on the characters in the main canon, and since they're never mentioned, they might as well not exist. Regardless I love all my kids.
idk man it's late have some characters

Ozzy was a character made about two years ago for a friend who I'm... no longer friends with. I've definitely mentioned him and the more personal story behind that so I won't dwell on it.
Ozzy has never had too much of a personality outside of being curious and naive, but I also like how his design and what I have planned for him lends him a kind of special softness. He's a genuinely nice guy who lives a peaceful life in a peaceful time. Perhaps a librarian or something similar, but he'd be the one who does all the read-ins with pups and does community outreach and the like. He tends to trip up with scheduling and the like, so someone always has to read and re-read his papers, but he has nothing but best intentions at heart- he's just a bit of a scatterbrain sometimes.

Holly was another character who was sort of co-designed by a friend, but she's much, much older than Ozzy. In fact, she's from back when Dreamland was sort of a group effort between friends (all of whom are no longer involved). Other characters from the same "time period" as her would include Indy, Rose, Ivy, Daisy, Nat, Rye, and Lotus. In fact, she's one of the only two of the main characters from that time period who hasn't been reincorporated into the main lore. I always planned on sticking her back in there somewhere but she doesn't seem to fit anywhere. The best place for her, far as I could discern, was as a fashion designer in the mid-fifties Princess-wise, bringing back a more avante-garde fashion sense (collars???) back from her voyages in Ceilvyr to Opphemria. Even then it seems kind of unfair that out of all the old characters, Holly ended up completely alone. They don't seem to work as well when they're not working off someone. :/
