always a work dad lollll. this is european pine marten valere on the left and ferret/domestic polecat viche on the right, my two most developed tf2 ocs from another life. i've been moving away from being someone who focuses my creative energy into a fandom-based content approach and more towards whatever floats my boat as a cool art idea to try, general experimentation is my primary goal right now.

i keep telling myself i need to put these two down for good and coming back to reworking their relationship anyway. valere (he/him) is a dry old soul with a bad history and isolationist tendencies, in most iterations he adopts viche (he/they) as a trans father figure after they connect via work. viche is a younger more modern guy hustling to try and get his mom out of prison while struggling to find community. in some iterations i've made valere and viche's mom a couple but i have to really think on if i'm keeping it. i'm also considering removing the adult meeting context entirely to focus on inserting valere into my fantasy dystopia text adventure game setting where he's only relevant after he's already committed suicide in order to be in the hell dimension, but his attempt is canonically unsuccessful and the turning point that let's him reconnect with viche. viche meanwhile is straight chilling lmfao
