Don’t worry, I gotchu

A collage that reads, in a pink handwritten font at the top, Wynni’s Inspo. It contains background images layered the length of the image of blue flaked glitter, an underwater rock formation forming a heart with the sun shining through the water behind it, a chalk board with chemistry structural formulae on it, and red glittery fabric. Over the background images are clip art images of an adventurous girl in a sun hat with a magnifying glass, steam punk goggles, anthropomorphized jars of peanut butter and jelly, a sticker reading “BFF” with an exclamation mark with a heart at the bottom, multicolored chemistry flasks, a stack of books, a silhouette of two femme figures sitting and reaching over their heads with opposing arms to form a heart with their hands, a multicolor beaded bracelet that has beads reading “bestie”, a photo of a sharks tooth, a sign reading “manatee crossing” with an image of a manatee on it, a sticker reading “explore more in”, a heart shape made of red glitter, a single blue chemistry flask, and a photo of a frozen red colored drink piled high in a martini glass with a straw sticking out of it

Firbolg* #adoptable

Hi y’all, I initially wasn’t gonna sell this guy but money has been tight and there’s some bills I still need to pay.

Please shoot me a message through DMs if you’re interested in adopting them! Payment is through PayPal. I’ll keep track of the availability in the replies!

Promotional image for my new adoptable (80EUR), a green Firbolg* with green skin and furry legs. He has a short beard too. He’s kind of more of a mix between a Firbolg, a tiefling and a satyr. He has short green hair and brown eyes. He’s wearing a simple brown dress and some brown ankle warmers.

The adoptable will come with a naked base, with the outfit separate. You can also request an additional outfit for €50.

Last but not least, the tiefling tempest cleric Kallista (played by me!).

Greyish blue resin with silver mica swirls and gold sparkle highlights. This is probably the most unpredictable set of them all with how much the gold can change from pour to pour, which feels like a metaphor to unpack 😅

Character are of Kallista by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a tiefling with light blue skin and dark blue shoulder length hair. Her left horn has cracks that have been filled in with gold. She is wearing a chainmail tunic and holding a warhammer with lightning coming off of it.

A 7 piece dice set arranged on a mirror against a white background. The dice are greyish blue resin with silver mica swirls and gold sparkle highlights. The numbers are silver.

Up next is Proximus, the shadow sorcerer / oath of the infinite seas paladin / himbo, played by @mikylsandoval.bsky.social.

Shimmery light blue with streaks and swirls of copper, with metallic black numbers and copper for the high faces.

Character art of Proximus by Mikyl Sandoval. He is a triton with greyish blue skin wearing black armor plate and holding an very intricately decorated glaive.

It's your best friend, the alchemical artificer Wynni! @evaserrate.bsky.social sent me what could only be described as an unhinged yet perfect mood board collage to go off of.

Shimmery teal mixed with an unholy amount of red foil. Is the foil red drink? Chaos tonic? An homage to Kurtulmak? Yes!

Character art of Wynni by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a teal green sea elf with darker teal hair in high pigtails. She has an absurd number of pouches and belts with an equally absurd number of vials of colored liquids.

A 7 piece dice set arranged on a mirror against a white background. The dice are shimmery teal green mixed with so much red foil it is its own solid mass. The numbers are inked in copper.

First up - the siren storm sorcerer Scarlett Shours (you gotta count out the alliteration on your fingers when you say it or it doesn't count) played by @kayemcea.bsky.social.

Pink resin with flashes of mylar & glitter, and metallic teal numbers. Pics look more neon than they actually are I swear.

Character art of Scarlett by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a siren with light skin, pink hair, and a prosthetic arm conjuring some golden lightning. She is wearing a teal off the shoulder top with transparent sleeves and tight black patterned pants with lace up details at the back and sides.
