Description
Dejection and despondency! Languor, listlessness and lethargy! Apathy, ennui and indifference! The Spirit of Low Spirits is here!
| And she is not leaving until she gets her coffee. |
|---|
| Remember that Draconequus OC i made, like, years ago for the long-dead art trade thread? |
| Yeah, me neither. But apparently she exists, so i drew her again. |
| A spirit of listlessness, languor and lethargy, her very presence sucks mirth out of her surroundings and replaces it with endless despondency. Not the sort of creature you’d invite to a party. |
| And yes, she does have a beard. Just my draconequus-related headcanon |
| Probably gonna draw more of her, and change up her design a bit as well. |

I also like how you still gave her a beard. Not to many female Draconequus OCs have facial hair (come to think of it, I’ve seen quite a lot of male Draconequus OCs without facial hair too). The only example that comes to mind right now was an older design of Pandora with a mustache but Lopoddity ultimately scrapped that design.
I like the dull faded out colors and the long shaggy “bed head” hair she has as well since it fits with the lethargy theme she has going on.
Since you want to change up her design a bit to make her different from Discord, I have a few suggestions that could possibly help you with that.
One would be changing her facial hair a bit. You can give her a mustache or style her beard. You can make her beard curly or alternatively you can style the beard (braid it, give it clips or bows, etc.).
Another suggestion I have is changing her antlers. There’s many different horns and antlers to use in the animal kingdom so you have a lot of different options. An idea I like for her are sheep or ram horns. Why? Counting sheep of course! When people feel lethargic, they often feel ready to go to sleep so it fits her character theme perfectly. (Plus I think ram and sheep horns look really cool.)
Also since this picture is a shot of her head, there’s lots of different options for different body parts to choose from for the rest of her body. One idea that comes to mind are sloth hands (since they’re rather slow) and sheep hind legs with fluffy wool (to yet again, drive that sleepy/lethargic theme home).
Since Draconequus OCs often have reptile traits, I recommend giving her the tail of a thorny desert lizard. Why? Outside of me having a bias and really loving those kinds of lizards, they look a bit unique since they tend to be a bit spiky. The light sandy color would also fit well with the dull saturated colors she has too in my opinion. Another reason would be because of the whole Mr. Sandman thing.
And then you finally have her wings. You have many different wings to choose from based from both real life creatures and fictional ones. Or you can opt to make her a bit more different and give her absolutely no wings at all. If you do give her wings, I like the idea of giving her small and weak looking wings, to yet again drive her theme home better (flying with small wings are bound to make one feel rather tired).
Other suggestions I have involve her eyes. I suggest giving her some bloodshoot eyes and bags underneath her eyes. I also like the idea of her and Midnight Dew being friends (or frienemies). They can be grouchy sleepy buddies.
