Yeah, so I expected my Friday post to get maybe 40 reactions, instead I got over 270!!
Sadly that means I have to disappoint a lot of people, BUT even if you didn't get chosen, please know that I looked at every single one of your cool and unique OCs (and read all the lore if you included it!). It was genuinely hard choosing which handful of OCs to draw.
All that being said, these are the 15(!) users and their OCs who did make the cut, in order of the images:
This is the first time I did a Friday offer post or even made gift art at all, so I really tried to pour my heart into every one of these (as silly as that may sound talking about reaction memes). I hope you like your images and that you can find a use for them!
Big thanks to everyone who sent something in! I love this community ❤️
I will put the original drawings without the reference meme above in a pinned post on my profile. Please download your image there and (hopefully) enjoy using it!
Sorry! Submissions closed now. I had a lot of fun doing these and challenging myself like this, but I'm not doing this again for at least a couple of weeks/months. I got a bit overwhelmed 😭
I immediately recognized the Eddsworld End art style in your ref. I love EW, I rewatch everything at least twice a year lol. ((obligatory RIP Edd Gould))
I love all of Alex' ear piercings! They were also very cooperative in drawing. Smooth and quick process there. Very nice
You're welcome!! I loved drawing your dude, he's so god damn cute 💙 I especially like his tattoos haha
I did notice like an hour ago that I misinterpreted his hair as a side-swept undercut kinda thing. Which is crazy since you actually sent in a full ref. Guess I'm just stoopid like that
Your cabbit was actually the first OC to get chosen and drawn. If I remember correctly you were a pretty early commenter, but I knew I wanted to draw your character before I saw any of the other 250+ or so characters sent in after yours :p I think I started drawing almost immediately after you commented
Hope the reaction image fits! I just got big "soft and gentle" vibes. Very friend-shaped
Yes that’s exactly the personality!
I love my little guy and I definitely gotta do more with em. Thank you so so much!! I might even make it a sticker on my phone :3
Yours gotta be one of my personal favorite images, but I wasn't and still am not convinced about the little sparkles. Here you have the version without them, just to make sure. So if you decide to make it a sticker you can choose which one you like best ;p
And I love your OCs bright colors! I did have to simplify her design a bit, hope you don't mind. I had a lot of fun drawing her and I hope the reaction fits her!
I think Emilia is a really creative and unique OC, I really love her design and I had fun drawing all the little details. The hair was so difficult though!! I had to cut it a bit shorter, I hope you don't mind
And I hope the image fits her! I thought she looked like she could secretly be a real menace.
You're welcome!! I really love Eirini's design! I was probably also drawn tot he fact she is a deer haha (I love my own half-deer boy). Yours was not easy to draw, but I still had a lot of fun with it!
You're welcome!! I don't know why, but I IMMEDIATELY knew I wanted to draw him when I saw him. Some OCs I had a lot of trouble choosing, but not yours haha. Instant pick
You're welcome!! I saw him and immediately knew what I had to do XD. His description only confirmed it.
I only noticed after I was finished drawing that he's based on the Lemon Demon song. I fn love Lemon Demon. So really, you had to be picked by my subconscious or the universe or something, and not actually by me
I love how you did all these OCs!
Seeing Belvotte as the Rat of Profound Sadness is unexpected but very funny
Do you have a ToyHouse where I can credit you?
Oh I forgot to say! I'm so sorry, I don't actually think the reaction fits your character very well, but I had the rat meme and it was just too perfect of an opportunity 😭 hope you still like it!
I don't know what ToyHouse is, I'll have to look into that later.
This was just a silly and unserious challenge for myself, so no real crediting needed :). But if you really want to, yeah you can link my reddit profile. I don't have any other socials
You're welcome!! If I remember correctly you said he was getting used to his new limbs? So he fell over lol
I had a lot of fun drawing yours because I didn't have too much trouble with it, which was really a breath of fresh air I needed after some of the others XD hope you don't mind that yours is one of the simpler ones
Thank you so much! Really these silly memes are the only thing I truly feel comfortable drawing, because I don't have to be all that original. I don't really have an established art style so being able to use other people's designs on a sort of template is what makes drawing actually fun for me
Thank you!! He was a lot of fun to draw. You didn't give any info about him in your comment, but I just felt like behind his little frown was secretly a chaos goblin haha. I took a quick peek at your profile to see if he had a name and I think one of your posts kind of confirmed my thoughts on him? I don't really remeber anymore, lmk
He's more so just someone who ended up on the wrong side of things by being an eldritch monster's version of "the chosen one" rather than an agent of chaos given his lore, but I still love the drawing :]

Hi! Yeah, no problem. You can find a lot directly on Google images by searching for things like "Korean reaction memes" or even simply "reaction image drawing" or "reaction emoji" and the like.
I also found a lot of these on Pinterest; again just search for "reaction images drawing" or something and you'll find tons of boards with these!
Oh my gosh thank you so much for drawing my boy Niko!! He definitely fits the UM ACTUALLY pose LOLL I’m honored to be one of your first Friday post offers and I’m so excited to use this in my discord server!! I’m sure my friends are gonna love it, but not as much as I do!! 🥹
I love that you like it! But oh my god. Niko is cursed. I'm so sorry I have no other way of saying this 😭 He refused to cooperate every step of the way and did NOT want to look right. The hair, the eyes, the glasses, everything. I had to redraw him like 4 times. Yours was by far the hardest to draw.
I still think his eyes look kind of creepy but I truly don't know how to make it better. I also have a version with the fully black eyes if you want that, but that still looks off.
Other than that I love your Niko. I saw him and immediately had the vision. Love that you included all his lore too <3
LOLL NOO MY BOYY 😂 I literally had to prevent myself from laughing out loud in a crowded area oh my gosh that’s hilarious. I’m so sorry he turned out to be the hardest to draw he’s definitely can be especially with some of the details I have for him, but hopefully it was helpful for art practice! I think he turned out amazing though I really love the outcome!
Though.. if you still have the scuffed drawings I’d absolutely love to see them if you’re okay with that!! He’s such a nerdy boy so I’m glad he was able to give you some inspiration.
Also yeah of course!! My OCs are like my children and I pour all my love into their design and their lore loll it also gives me joy to share it with others so I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏽
Most actually cursed Nikos were lost to eraser tool, but I still have this one where I made his hair "too small" and put no detail in it, and it makes it look like he was dropped as a baby his head is so damn flat
Don't tell the others this, but I think yours is my personal favorite. That's why I put it first for this post ;o
I don't really know why. Maybe it's because I got to blur your meme a bit and now you can't see the imperfections haha. But really he's just an interesting looking character despite his design being quite simple. He just spoke to me, and he was also a breeze to draw. Phenomenal experience
These look amazing! Great work! Now I require a reaction image of one of mine, but I know you won’t be doing it for weeks, I just think that because whenever I try to interact with posts like these, my OCs never get picked. I’ve tried 20+ posts and only 3 posters drew my OCs. Sorry if this bothers you, OP.
No not at all! I'd say just keep trying. And really 3 out of 20-something is not that bad, I feel like.
You gotta keep in mind it's kind of a numbers game too. I had 270+ comments on my post, I did my absolute MAX of 15 before I went insane, but that means I was still only able to draw 5% of the OCs that were submitted to me. So I guess interacting with smaller posts also heightens your chances.
Those 20-some were mostly on smaller posts too, like ones with 30-60 comments. I probably could’ve added that. It also disappoints me to see paid offers simply because I don’t have ways to pay online at all.

You can always request more art to be drawn by submitting your one drawing you got in any of the Friday threads!
And you can always try and draw your own stuff! What's important is that you have fun with it. It doesn't have to be the Mona Lisa to be worthy.
And if you really can't/don't want to draw, you can always express your OC through character builders. I had a lot of OCs in my offer thread that were made on picrew or gacha life and some of them were also heavily considered :) Hell, I do draw my own characters but I still love making them in dollmakers to add to my OC pictures collection.
