Some concept doodles for a DND character I was thinking of playing once.

Ended up playing a completely different PC and have since moved on to other systems, but I still like the designs. πŸ’–

Maybe I will use one of them for something else in the future.
#art #oc #ttrpg #dnd
Image ID: Several concept sketches of possible designs for a D&D character. The left side shows a mature looking elven woman with light skin and shoulder-length white hair in different poses and from different perspectives. She is wearing goggles with dark glasses, and a dark, gothic-inspired trench coat, almost covering her whole skin except for a big tear revealing her shoulder, where a raven tends to sit on, it's claws damaging the fabric. She has a neutral expression. The right side shows a very similar looking woman wearing the same clothes as the one on the left, but looking much younger and having an overall fiercer attitude. She has short shaved hair, a big "x"-shaped scar on her head, and pierced ears. The upper-right text reads "D&D Character Concept. Shadar-kai raven queen warlock", and the text below "Name ideas: Orphis/Orfith, Lith)". End ID.

Posting the third commission from my last post separately because I'm especially proud of how this came out πŸ•·οΈ
#art #commission #ttrpg #dnd
Image ID: A digital illustration showing a mostly human looking, young person, sitting on a dark throne which looks like a spider, smiling arrogantly at the viewer, while holding a rapier in their lap. They're wearing elegant, spider-themed clothing loosely inspired by victorian menswear, with a green butterfly as a bow tie. White patches are covering parts of their face, their curly, boyish hair, and even one eye, revealing the person is not a human but a changeling in disguise. The throne they are sitting on is made of black iron, except for the backrest, which is made of purplish, stained-glass with a spiderweb pattern, framed by the long, metallic limbs of a big spider, sitting on top of the backrest, like it's menacingly looming of its prey. The surrounding room is mostly shrouded by darkness, except for the front part of the stone floor and some spider webs being barely visible in the background. End ID.

Thank you (again) for commissioning me!
#art #commission #ttrpg #dnd
Image ID: A digital illustration showing a young, light-skinned person walking through a field, laughing, while looking back at the viewer. They have boyish-short, wavy, orange hair, and green eyes, matching the green tunic they're wearing. Yellow grass reaches below their hip, with insects resting on some flowers between the grass. The field stretches to the horizon where green trees and hills stand in front of a sunny, blue sky, giving the scene a happy and carefree atmosphere. End ID. Image ID: A digital illustration showing the same person from the first picture looking at the sky with a satisfied smile, while sitting relaxed on the grass. A half-spilled bag of gold coins lies next to them, with some loose coins scattered around, and a full beer mug sits at their other side. The character is wearing different attire this time. Dark, brown leather, some light scratches, and a black hooded cape. A thief celebrating their hard-fought victory in the evening.

Demi from Lunacid 🌘
The art style, the music, the characters, the atmosphere...! This game is just *chef kiss*
#art #lunacid
Image ID: Fan art of Demi, a character from the video game "Lunacid". A demon girl looking with a playful smile down on the viewer, balancing a scythe on her back, inside a dark cave. The bright, yellow moon shining through an opening in the ceiling, partly covered by mist, illuminates Demi from behind. White flowers are surrounding her, growing at her feet, facing the moon. A coffin standing upright and a pot are dimly visible in the dark background. Demi's pink pupils are glowing, but not in a menacing way, just as they always do. She is looking happy, unbothered by the surrounding darkness. End ID.

A birthday gift for my friend of her D&D character and some of his friends πŸΉπŸ»βœ¨πŸ¦‡
#art #ttrpg #dnd
Image ID: A dark elf boy lying on his back with closed eyes and a relaxed smile on his face, like he is chilling on a beach, on the back of a big, brown, armored bear, who is crossing a river in the woods. The night sky is being reflected by the dark blue water of the river, and a small waterfall can be seen on the edge of the image. A black bat with glowing pink eyes is flying alongside the bear, watching over the elf boy. Also, a small pixie with glitchy, pink-blueish wings and matching short hair is lying with spread-out limbs on the belly of the elf boy, a light blue snort-bubble coming from her nose, indicating she's sleeping. End ID.

#art #commission #ffxiv
Image ID: A bunny-eared viera woman smiling, winking with one eye, doing finger guns at the viewer. She has light brown skin with slightly darker, more purple-ish markings on her face, and long, brown hair with pink highlights, tied up into a ponytail. She is wearing sporty, adventurous clothes. A silver dagger is strapped to her belt, another held by her other hand, partly covered by her body. She is standing in front of a simple, stylized background showing the blue sky and the white silhouette of an aetheryte crystal in the instance. A white heart is drawn near her face, making her gesture more charming than corny. End ID.

Knives Ciao, commissioned by @fayhluna.bsky.social for knives_ciao
Thank you (again) for commissioning me!
#art #commission #ffxiv
Image ID: A bunny-eared viera man looking excited, holding a spear up towards the viewer in front of a simple, blue background. The man has light skin with a faint, light purple streak tattooed or painted over his face across the eyes (one of them having a scar underneath), and he has shoulder-length purple hair with gray tips. He is wearing mostly red plate armor and a decorated, black headband. A glowing, blue crystal is built underneath the golden tip of the spear, magically holding it and the rest of the spear together. A tiny, blue dragon companion is flying alongside the spear, looking just as excited as its master, ready to fight. End ID.

Mel for my awesome girlfriend kayssun (on tumblr)
Thank you (again) for commissioning me! ❀️
#art #ttrpg #dnd
Image ID: A light-skinned woman with a demanding look on her face sitting cross-legged on a semi-visible platform inside a simple, stylized red-purple background. She wears dark red lipstick, black, long hair tied up in a ponytail resembling a whip, and black leather clothes with some red accents, and a red whip strapped to her belt. A shiny, golden riding crop is being held in one of her gloved hands, with its tip slightly being bent down by the other. A violin down on the floor is leaning against her leg, showing the woman is a bard, her riding crop functioning both as a weapon, as well as a bow for her instrument. End ID.

Commissions for @fayhluna.bsky.social
Thank you (again) for commissioning me!
#art #commission #ffxiv
Image ID: Digital art showing a light skinned viera man (a bunny-eared fantasy race from the game Final Fantasy 14), playfully pointing his fingers towards the viewer, in front of a simple, blueish gradient background. Four flying, magical, missile-like weapons are being directed by his motion, shooting just past him, also towards the viewer. The man is wearing a broad grin on his face, white markings on his skin, blue flowers in his shoulder-length, white hair, and dark, adventures clothes, revealing his midriff. End ID. Image ID: Digital art showing the same character from the first picture in a similar pose, but from a different angle. Instead of pointing towards the viewer, he crosses his arms with outstretched hands in front of him, causing the missiles surrounding him to fly in a more fluid motion. Bright light is illuminating him from behind, casting a soft, blueish shadow over his whole body. End ID.

Such an amazing show! I can't believe it took me this long to get into it (and much longer to finish this piece lol)
I adore these turtles (+April!) so much 🐒🐒🐒🐒
#art #tmnt #rottmnt
Image ID: Digital fan art of the animated show "Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", showing its main character in various fun and action-y poses, in front of a colorful, stylized background inspired by comic and graffiti art. The top left corner shows two drawings of Raph, ready to jump into action with his pair of tonfa, and the top right corner three drawings of Leo, posing and goofing around with his katana. Below them, in the middle of the picture, are two drawings of Mikey, one larger one showing him playfully swinging his manriki-gusari, the smaller one only his smiling face. The lower left corner shows three drawings of April wielding her magic baseball bat and having a good time. The lower right shows one drawing of Donnie excitedly flying on the rocket attached to his high-tech bō, and another one him taking a selfie with April, while both are wearing the other one's glasses/goggles.

Something more personal/experimental for a change πŸ”₯βœ¨πŸŒ‘
#art
Image ID: Digital art of an antlered, winged black lion standing on top of gothic ruins, holding the blade of a sword in its mouth, its giant wings outstretched. The background sky is split in the middle; the left side is showing a bright, golden sky, the other a starry night. A stylized sun and moon are shown in the top where the scenes collide, behind the lion's antlers. Plants and moss are growing on the ruin's sunny side. Purple flowers adorn the sword hilt, causing petals to rain down from it, being further carried by the wind. A black feather is also being carried by the wind towards the viewer. Last but not least, a shiny, engraved golden frame is framing the whole scene. End ID.

Main characters of an Ironsworn campaign I'm playing on and off. From left to right: ghost girl Runi, her heart of gold dumb of ass brother Rhyr sworn to revenge her death, and their childhood friend Nora the varou πŸͺ“πŸ’€πŸΊ
#art #oc ##ttrpg #ironsworn
Image ID: Digital art showing three characters standing together in a winter landscape, their footprints covering the snow. The character in the middle is a light-skinned young man clad in wolf fur and clothes loosely inspired by Viking fashion, bravely smiling, as he is looking directly at the viewer. A battleaxe is resting on his shoulder. He has his brown hair styled in a pompadour, wears no shirt despite the cold, and simplistic, blue-ish tattoos adorn his chest, arms, neck, and chin. The tattoos on his chest look like they've been tattooed over mastectomy scars. The character on his right is a pale ghost girl smiling ominously as she's floating beside him, surrounded by blue, ghostly flames. She has black hair and is wearing a purple hood, casting a shadow over her face. Her clothes are adorned by black feathers and a big bird skull on her belt. Instead of shoes, her feet are wrapped in white bandages. The character on his left is a tall, anthropomorphized wolf woman with her back turned towards the viewer, but with her head turned back to reveal a warm smile. She is wearing a big, blue coat and carries a dagger in her hand. Golden accessors adorn her braided, white fur. End of ID.

Carina Chevalier and her loyal companion Sir Osric

Two characters I played in a rp group. The group sadly dissolved, but I still adore my little unicorn and her grumpy und(e)ad πŸ¦„βœ¨πŸ’€
#art #oc
Image ID: Several digital drawings of a cheerful-looking, dark-skinned young woman called Carina, wielding a rapier. She has long, curly, dark brown hair tied into a ponytail with a black ribbon, with some lighter streaks running through her hair. Her clothes resemble an elegant uniform, with short shorts playfully revealing white, floral-patterned leggings. Two white horns are adorning her forehead, one of them being distinguishably smaller than the other and hidden most of the time behind hair. Her asymmetrical horns make her almost look like a unicorn turned human. End ID. Image ID: Several digital drawings of a ghostly dark knight called Sir Osric, showing different versions of him. In the drawing on the left, he is shown in his full form - a tall knight covered almost completely by spiky, demolished, black armor, with a big, blue, ghostly flame instead of a head. His left arm is exposed, showing a skeletal arm glowing in a blue light, holding a great sword in its hand, which has stylistically been cut off to save some space on the canvas. Also, a big hole in his cuirass reveals parts of a ribcage, glowing in the same ghostly light as the arm. In the drawing in the upper right corner is a bust of the same character, showing how he looked before he became a ghost. A pale, stoic-looking middle-aged man with wavey, semi-long, graying black hair and a matching beard. Carina, the young woman from the first picture, is standing beside him with a confused look on her face. A thinking bubble over her head reads, "who is this???" In the drawing on the lower right, he is just blue flame, like his "head" in his full form, floating behind a much younger Carina when she was still a child. Her hair is much shorter here. She is laughing as she is excitedly running to show him something. End ID.

The main characters from my wip "Eternal Knight" πŸŒ’
Some poses/interactions to get a feel for their dynamic
#art #oc
Image ID: Various drawings on a black background showing two characters in different poses and expressions. One character is a knight whose face is being hidden by a stylized shadow behind the visor of their helmet. Only their yellowish eyes are visible. The other character is a witch with medium brown skin and short, dark brown hair with dyed red streaks in it. In most of the drawings, she's wearing a typical pointy witch hat with a magical flame at the tip. In the first drawing, the witch is hiding behind the knight under their cape. In the second, they both are looking at a map. In the third, the knight is embracing the witch, both their faces being obscured. In the third, the knight is sitting on the floor, resting, as the witch is leaning against their back with her arms crossed. In the fourth, the knight is alone, their back turned towards the viewer as they're kneeling down to look at a purple flower. Lastly, the drawings in the top right corner show busts of the two characters with serious expressions. End of ID.

He is about to step onto a glowing glyph on the floor, marking a trap, without being aware of it. The dark elf woman is carrying a big, glowing sword. She is looking back in fear as a toothy mimic chest is flinging itself at her, about to bite her in the face. End ID.

Image ID: A light-skinned young man wearing glasses flying through the cloudy night sky, facing the viewer with a gentle smile. He has pink cat ears, matching the color of his medium-length hair, a pink, fluffy cat tail, and is wearing flowy, mythical-looking clothes with an exposed midriff. He is being carried by radiant blue, angel-like wings on his back, and a radiant circle composed of small, blue, glowing crystals is hovering behind his head, like an angel's halo. End ID.

A digital drawing of a man in the uniform of a batter. He is holding a bat in his right hand and has it leaning against his shoulder. His cap is throwing a deep shadow over his face, partially concealing his stern expression. A digital drawing of a white cat grinning at the viewer. It is very thin and has big, sharp teeth.
