Another DnD Character Request!! (Cleric in a Temple)

Another party member asked me a few months if I'd be willing to draw some art of their character so they could use it for their pfp. I did this one before the other one (this one) but just forgot to post it lolol. This one was kinda fun but weird to draw ngl, I'm not completely happy with it but I also don't think it's a bad piece soooooooo

New DnD Character Unlocked!!

This is the latest DnD character I've come up with recently for a recent campaign I'm playing in. This is 💕Merry 💕, she is a tabaxi Monk who worked as an acro-dancer at a circus until recent events. I quite like how her design came out and it seems the rest of the players agree with me (actually couldn't stop laughing at the voicenote the DM put in the chat in response to me showing them this picture haha 😂😂)

(FYI this has been sitting in my drafts for ages I'm just insecure in my art and often forget about all my drafts lolol)

DnD Art Request: The Grump and the Stuffed Unicorn

One of the other players in a dnd group I'm in asked if I'd be willing to draw a funny pic of their character with a unicorn (the character hates unicorns if you couldn’t tell). I actually had a lot of fun with this one, got to test out some new brushes and draw a dumb fun scenario. Also can you tell I don't know how to draw fantasy guns lol

DnD Campfire Silhouettes

I started playing in a DnD group recently, was inspired to draw all of the characters after session 1 and quickly made this fun silhouette style piece!! Most of the other players and the DM have already put this piece as a background on their devices and it blows my mind how much they love this piece, truly is fascinating how differently others might see a piece that I consider quick, dumb and fun haha 😄

Epic The Musical Fanart [TW:BLOOD AND INJURY]

Lemme tell you I've been on an Epic the Musical brainrot since the Ithaca Saga dropped, it's absolutely stellar and captivating and congrats to Jorge for completing such a masterpiece and sharing it with us all over the years!!

I was inspired by the royals of Ithaca and our beautiful owl lady and wanted to attempt to capture any of their power and this is how I chose to do so (I didn't have much choice, the gremlin locked in my brain told me I had to do it 😂👀)

A DnD Art WIP

I've been so inactive recently but that's cause I took a break from drawing and posting for the holidays then got sick, ain't that life lolol. I've not got anything finished recently but thought to share a quick wip I'm working on sooooooooo here you go!!

🛏🏃‍♀️💨

🎊Happy Birthday Garren!!🥳

In the campaign recently we had a fun birthday session for our favourite Paladin where the party threw this grand magic tavern feast and invited the entire village they stopped in after completing a recent side quest!! I just had to draw Garren in his birthday fit and recieving some of his gifts from the party cause it was so wholesome fr fr. Happy Birthday Garren, congrats on somehow living to be both 31 and 281 at the same time (yeah I don't get it either lolol) 😂👀💧

Some close ups:

Children's Playtime

The party has picked up several companions along the way including 1 dragon child (Tarsson) and 1 human child (Xue) and I thought it'd be fun to draw them bonding over a teddybear's tea party. I can't lie I used no references when drawing Tarsson and it really shows 😬 I'll probably draw him again at some point and will try not be lazy and actually look at references so that he looks more like a dragon lolol

Sister Ghost Band!!

Storytime!!

So I went to this gig recently for Sister Ghost and got inspired and started sketching them while they were performing cause they looked cool. At the time I only had a sketchbook and like an hour to draw so it was super rushed and ugly ngl (was also drawing in the dark so I didn't realise it was bad until the lights came back on lol 😅). Thought that would be the end of it but another gig goer came up to me and said they'd seen me doodling and asked if they could see it. I thought "sure, its not that good but it couldn't hurt to show one person right?? 🤷‍♀️😂". Proceed to a small group of gig goers PLUS the band and their team surrounding my shit little drawing and the band even asked for a copy of it 💀🤯😳💓

While I was very embarrassed, it was sweet how uplifting and chill everyone was and even though I didn't like my art at the time I still felt proud of it and myself for choosing to develop to the point I could things like that and do it somewhat legibly. I decided that I would do a better version so here's the digital copy of my interpretation of Sister Ghost's Sionainn and Alice looking sick as hell!! 🙌🙌✨️

If you like rock or goth pop, please check them out they have just released an album recently called Beyond the Water and the cover art is sooooo pretty fr fr 😖🤌

DnD Sketchs: Lia's Madness Arc

So one of the characters got to roll on the Madness table and nearly died of exhaustion recently after their encounter with the nymph Thesilha. Poor Lia had a terrible time in her dream world and the party have all been coming up with ways to help her feel better and making sure she has the time and space to rest.

Some ways the party have helped her so far include Luuki making her a sickass staff/cane to help her walk, Ezra being the best girlie pop with her and helping look after her, and Remmy has let her vent to him and let her lean on him when she gets tired (THIS IS SO WILD CAUSE HES BEEN THE ONE WHO HATED HER THE MOST AND NOW HES HERE I LOVE HIS DEVELOPMENT 🥲😭)

DnD Character Appearance: Thesilha's Dream World

So the party encountered this really powerful nymph recently while on their journey to some mountains and the only way they could continue is if they completed some trials she set out, one such trial involving having the party members live through a hallucinary dream world molded by their greatest wishes and their deepest fears. Each person had a slightly different world that they lived in but these are the dream versions of people within Ezra's dreamscape. It was very facinating designing these fictious worlds and how significant people within Ezra's life would be shaped by it (Ezra's dream was very wacky and he ended up going a bit mad throughout it all, thanks again @jesuisfinni for playing into his madness for me lolol)

A lot happened throughout this but a quick run down of the changes that happened with characters in this dream world:

Lia was a socially confident and highly respected Top Student at the Deacon College, however while she was intelligent in the ways of the arcane she could not use it or cast any spells

Garren didn't experience any of the Crystaline Curse plot that happened and never lived to be a Military Commander, instead he was just a simple man who was trying to find a job and was quick to grow attached to people (unlike his regular self who takes his sweet sweet time)

Remmy was homeless and fought to survive on the streets everyday ever since his grandparents died and the streets have not been kind to the boy, however he does still have a spark for cooking even if he rarely ever gets to do so

Annabelle (a new backstory npc and long-time friend omg) runs a lively tavern that catered to the monster-kind folks in the high street of the city Ezra grew up in instead of running a secret underground tavern because Teiflings were heavily oppressed and scrutinized

Vince and his twin brother Lee are 2 of Ezra's close friends from his teen years who were unjustly sentenced to death at 15 so in this world they got to live and grow up to be what they always wanted to be (@jesuisfinni really wanted to hammer in the tragic backstory and that's these two I guess)

DnD Modern AU!! Outfit Concepts!! (feat. Grimrock Trio)

This is from an AU!! me and @jesuisfinni came up with ages ago where the main party went out clubbing for Remmy's 18th. These were some fun designs I came up with for what the party plus some of their NPC buddies would look like in that AU!! with little fun descriptions (I have another post about this AU!! with a cute moment from the gays). Credit for the kickass Ezra design goes to @jesuisfinni

Order of Characters(Left-Right): Ezra Garren Remmy Suisie Hiart Thave Luuki

Also I've just realised I've never mentioned that Remmy and Garren are actually my own renditions of the characters from Jonathon and Beth Ball's Crystaline Curse Trilogy Campaign. We've long since finished the trilogy series and moved onto continuing their story but I thought it right to mention their work in these characters and I'd defo recommend reading through some of their works if you're looking for prewritten short style campaigns.

Quick Lia Painting

Was inspired to draw Lia in her ballgown in the moonlight but not inspired enough to do a full render of it so have this piece that I produced in like an hour or 2 I can't remember lolol

DnD Gala Outfit Designs (Lia and Remmy)

This was from a few months back but the party attended a high society gala and I absolutely had to draw my favourite little wizard and rogue in their gala outfits!! The shopping trip experience was fun to play and they all ended up going with more dark and slightly gothic fashion (that was more down to the shop they visited lolol). Even despite the madness that ensued at the gala, at least these 2 were looking ✨ fine ✨ throughout it all 💅✨

Shape Composition Practice!!

Feat. JR, Neli and Ray!!

Wanted to try using shapes to help with composition stuff, was kinda fun ngl lolol

Sketch Book Dump 19/09

Contents: Original Characters from ✨️ the Comic ✨️ (currently unnamed), DnD NPC's, Self Portrait

Used: Ballpoint pens, pastel highlighters, Winsor and Newton Gouache Paint,

College is keeping me busy again so not much new on the digital aspect, however I've been sketching in my sketchbook again to help me cope with the absence of time and the stress of college. Here's hoping I have something fun to put up next time lolol 😁🙌🙌

Sketch Book Art Dump!! 🎨🖊

I've been wanting to post some of the stuff I've done in my personal sketchbook for quite some time now but suffered from the same old ✨️"artist's perfectionism"✨️ and never thought any of them were good enough to post. So here I am, doing this now to remind myself that it doesn't matter if the drawing looks a mess and if people don't like it as much as I do, if I am proud enough that I want to showcase it then I should just do it, even if I end up the only one who thinks it looks cool 😌🙏💜

All of these were done with ballpoint pens and pastel highlighters that I take with me everywhere lolol

Characters are mostly from the DnD Campaign (Ezra the Bard, Garren the Paladin, Lia the Wizard) with a sneaky little glimpse of Junior (derpy dog boi) from the comic I'm creating 🤭

🕵‍♂️Comic Doodles🔪: Expression Warm Ups

Some expression sketches while working on storyboards for the comic I'm creating with @jesuisfinni, liked them enough I'm gonna putting them here 🙌✨️✨️

DnD Character Concept Dump:

So I've just not been drawing a lot recently (except for when I'm working on the comic I'm creating) but I decided I'd put this really quick doodle I did for a character I'm playing in a new campaign.

This is Nana Noa, a Druid Gnome who is part of a Travelling Bakers Guild. She uses ingredients that she finds out in the wild to make her delicious tasty treats, her favorites are any kind of fungi. She's a bit cookie but she makes the best fungi cocoa squares (✨🍃brownies🍃✨) around.

🕵‍♂️ Comic Doodle🔪

The Main Trio

Long time no see!! I've been a bit of a busy bee recently but it's because I've been working on creating a fun little murder mystery comic with @jesuisfinni!! We're still kinda early on in production but I wanted to introduce our amazing little band of detectives!! This rag-tag group of youngsters take it upon themselves to solve the murder at a dinner party gone

d e a d l y 😱💀

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a message or keep an eye out for updates of their story in the future on either my blog or @jesuisfinni 's blog. I hope you can grow to love these three just as much as we do!!

🐸 - Ray

🧝‍♀️ - Neli

🐶 - Junior

So it was my birthday last week!! Hurray!! Been busy with celebrations so couldn't finish this earlier but my gift to myself is complete and I thought to share it here!! Hope you all are having a lovely day!!

😌🙌✨️

(Fun fact: I baked my own cake and this is what it actually looked like!! It was a vicky sponge with strawberries and a Freddo on top!!)

Palia Fanart: Maji Market Trip Side Quest

So I've been playing Palia pretty religiously for a few weeks now and I've had this image in my head since I did the Zeki side quest. I think its so funny and cute to imagine my character and Kenyatta sneaking the children out in the middle of the night to wander about a low-key sketchy magic market for the fun of it 😂😂😂

Defo recommend Palia if you're looking for a fun cosy mmo!! 😌🤌✨️

(Also tried something new with my art so)

Dnd Art: Sleep Pile 💤

A sketch of the party at current all coming together for a nap cause life is tiring and sleepy cuddle times can help one cope with that struggle (I would know I'm a ✨️professional ✨️ napper 😌👌)

(New Characters:-

Harengon - Luuki 🐇

Aasimar - Lia 👼)

DnD Campaign Arc Art!!

So as a DM, I will sometimes give myself extra work by creating Arc Arts or "Book Covers" (the campaign is split into books cause it a bit long whoops). Most times I did it on a whiteboard but here is one I started and never finished on my computer (I gave up colouring as you can clearly see 😅💅✨️)

This is actually from quite some time ago (like Book 5 and the campaign is now on Book 7) and it was when the party were navigating through a supposedly haunted manor in the middle of some snowy mountains that they didn't know until later was home to a family of Yetis (Yetis that were out hunting for food for their baby, who was still within the Manor while the party was there 👀💧).

Date Night Outfits!!

So after what felt like yearssssss (but was like a couple months in-game time) of these two pining for each other, they finally went on a date!! 🥳🎊

It was a short but sweet date filled with berries, wine, hugs, kisses and dog puke 🥰🤮 But hey, at least Garren got to have a good first date with Ezra before having to go on literally the worst date of his life (due to contractual reasons) with one of the most evil NPC's I've made this campaign 🥲🤌

Quick DnD Modern!!AU Sketch

So my player @jesuisfinni approached me with a concept of what the party might do in a more modern setting and how their character might look in that setting and I just had to draw something from it because it's has been living in my mind rent free for weeeeeeeeeks.

So here is a very 💕cute 💕 and very gay look at Modern!!AU versions of Garren and Ezra 🥰🙌✨️✨️✨️

Warm Up Sketches!!

Dnd Art: Paladin and Bard Glowing in the Sunset 🌇💋

More DnD art from the campaign I DM for with @jesuisfinni and hooooo boiiiiiii 🥲🤯 Dm'ing for these 2 is such a roller coaster of a ride, the romantic tension between the 2 of them is so thick I'm not even sure a knife could cut through it. However I absolutely live for moments like these, my little fanfic loving heart can't take it 🥺💗

Edit: @jesuisfinni did a follow up page on their blog which you should check out if you would like to see some more awesome art of these 2, just saying 👀✨️

DnD Art: Bard and Paladin being ✨️Gae✨️

Did a fun collab with @jesuisfinni where I drew and lined a moment from the DnD Campaign we are in and they coloured it (please please p l e a s e go give them some love I was literally crying when they sent the coloured piece they are sooooooo good at art fr fr🥲🤌)

Modern!Au One Piece! 🍿Games Night🎮

Once, a couple of years ago, I had this Modern!Au idea where Sanji, Zoro, Ussop and Law were all college roomates and Ussop was a Twitch Gamer who was famous for his kill streaks in first person shooters, his over the top reactions to horror games and spilling the goss about his roommates with chat to the point chat constantly begged him to have them join him on streams (Sanji was the chat favourite cause he would come in to drop off food sometimes and eventually began sticking around for a quick chat with them whenever he dropped by).

This was kinda how I imagined some of their flat would look like. Honestly had such fun with that Au, might drop some more info on it later if I can sit down and draw more of it 😅
