Hm.. Anyone in the mood for a little critique? :') Don't worry, I'll try to be as concise and polite as I can.

Firstly, your character design isn't bad, and neither is your artwork- you have an interesting style that seems familiar in a way, though I can't seem to place it. You seem to have a good grasp on anatomy; enough so to use a style that distorts a figure yet still makes it look good. A lot of artists have trouble hitting the mark on this so consider yourself ahead of the game
However I have to admit I was surprised to see that these two ladies were OFF OCs. The fact sort of stands that while OFF is a very peculiar game with an even more peculiar set of characters, these characters here don't seem to fit into the lineup very well. Aside from the OC/Canon shipping (which can garner negative attention whether it's done well or not) I think that may be why you've gotten flack for them. Here's why I think that is.

Aside from Elsens, the world, otherwise, seems almost vacant. Rather empty, and it adds a lot to the atmosphere. I think seeing people break that theme with OC's by giving the impression that there are other 'people' our there, so to speak, can be a little jarring for some who like the native atmosphere as is.
Beyond that, among the wide variety of enemies you face in-game, a very minimal amount of them are humanoid, save the guardians and the burnt Elsens. Additionally, even among those whom are distinctly humanoid, there is a theme. Dedan and Enoch may have a humanoid shape, but they look warped and distorted- just like everything else. Everything in OFF is warped and distorted, twisted into a different take on reality that shakes up your perception of the world so that you have to learn it all over again. So again, seeing OC's break this suspension of disbelief /can/ be irritating, upsetting or otherwise disquieting to some people.
Is that to say these characters are bad? Absolutely not, but you have to understand that by taking repeated leaps into what I'd like to call a 'contested area' with your OCs, that opprobrium should rightfully be expected. 
All you can do is hold your head high, take constructive critique where you can get it, enjoy the positive reviews and keep on drawing. :')

Awww, you took the membranes between her fingers. I liked that idea of having that in a water nymph.

I do like what you've done with her eyes and neck. Very fancy. ^w^

wait a minute here, okay first I've seen Spook alot in your gallery and I admit she's pretty damn cool but I thought all succubuses like her were already dead people :/ I mean aren't all demons dead/living beings in the first place? I'm just confused here but maybe I'm just wrong ._.

I can tell my OC Jonah would want to meet Luuka but he may have some issues with Luu since shes a Succubus.

MY other OC that is not a creepypasta Dayman would still like to meet Luuka but would probably be scared of the succubus for he has a certain phobia of them
