Digital drawing of a red-skinned tiefling curled up in a wooden chair, drawing in a pad of paper. Pinned to the wooden wall behind him are large pieces of paper with sketches of other characters on them - clockwise from the bottom left: a flame-haired fire genasi in a suit, with his arms raised; a dragonborn-satyr hybrid, sat provocatively on a ball; a reclining ice genasi; a feathered half-elf in a toga; and an elf whose colouring is equally split between black and white, kneeling and holding a staff.

Digital fanart of Wolfwood from the anime "Trigun Stampede." Drawing shows a man in a black suit with a grey shirt open to the sternum, with dark hair and glasses. He's carrying a futuristic crucifix-shaped gun over one shoulder, doing a thumbs-up with his other hand towards someone beyond the right of the frame, and has a small vial of pale blue liquid clenched between his teeth. The front of shirt is stained with blood, which steam as the regenerative drug in the vial heals him.

Digital drawing of a shirtless half-elf man with fair hair, a green martial arts sash, and blue trousers and neckerchief. He is balanced on one leg, performing a high kick with his other leg, and has his body leaning backwards for balance.

Digital drawing of a young man with white hair tied into a very long ponytail standing and looking up towards a spotlight in the sky. He is wearing a sleeveless shirt, a skirt made of green-white feathers, and metal greaves. His exposed skin is marked with white tattoos in mystic and astrological designs. He is clutching an orange glowing egg to his chest. Artfight drawing of @/sailingkobold's character, Davian.

It's my birthday! 🎉🎂

If you see this please consider sharing my art, it really does mean a lot to me!

Two men sit on a chair, one straddling it sideways on top of the other's lap, one leg dangling over the chair's arm. They lean against each other, the lower supporting the second, leaning into each other as if falling asleep, heads touching, limbs falling limp. Meanwhile the chair they sit in catches fire, threatening to consume them completely. One of the men regards the flames with unconcerned, open eyes, the other remains unmoved, as if the fire cannot wake him.

An angelic androgynous-masculine being with multiple pairs of wings crouched down on a ground spattered with gold. They have dark skin, long curly white hair, and cyan and red eyes. They are garbed in a white flowing garment which pools around them on the ground, and gold jewelry. They are seen from a high vantage point, the character looking up and reaching their hand to touch some unknown surface, which ripples where their finger displaces it. This clear surface is covered with floating blue flowers and petals. Art fight drawing for Dovexii.

A man stands, staring directly at the viewer from a low angle. His left arm is a cybernetic prosthetic with visible machine parts. He is wearing worn-out clothing reminiscent of Vietnam era combat clothing mixed with punk aesthetic and advanced future tech. Over one shoulder is slung a mix of AK-47 and electric guitar, the neck extending down the barrel. He stands in a foggy scene surrounded by pipes, tubes, electric panels, and wires. He is smoking a cigarette. While there is nothing in the image to suggest this, you now know his name is Truant.

An illustration of a fairy standing on top of a bobbin of thread. She is wearing a patchwork skirt and a flowing gathered top. She has an apron through which she has threaded pins and needles and she is carrying a thimble within which she has gathered scraps of fabric and thread. Behind her is a tomato shaped pin cushion. Her hair is fashioned to resemble two yarn balls. Her purple and cyan wings are spread out behind her.

This is what gets me about all this AI crap.

I don’t want a computer that I have to talk to and confer with like it’s a real person, or to do all my thinking and creative process for me.

I want a computer that just does the task I need it to do so I can get work done, log off and go live my life.

“We want every person making the move to experience what it means to have a PC that’s not just a tool, but a true partner” no, thank you, my PC is just a tool, and so is my phone, and so is my other tech, and it'll stay this way.

It's incredible how out of touch and out of reality tech bros are

This is Nís, a new OC for a short Draw Steel game! He's a corpse revived by a hive-mind of alien psionic spiders (yep).

They suck at socialising, and they propel their body parts like the corpse's hands or head using their telekinetic abilities to attack enemies lol

Digital portrait in an oil-like style of a man in a 3/4 view, with very pale greenish skin and disheveled white hair. Most of his face is covered by dirty bandages, covering everything but one eye. The bandades make a sort of hood over his head, held together by a thorn crown made of gold

Here's the finalized design of Balance (they/he) 🧋 ✨

They are a tiefling astra-self monk. Here's a little bit of their outfit design and how their astral arms and face look! (Pretty starry if you ask me).

#ocs #tiefling #ocart #ocsky #art #artsky #dnd #dndart

A character sheet showing my tiefling astral-self monk Balance. They go by he/they pronouns, and they are 6 ft 6 inches tall. There's three full body drawings of them, the first one shows their outfit, the second one how they cover most of their torso with a drape, and the last one shows their astral arms and face.

So a few days ago I watched the pilot of Knights of Guinevere and really liked it so I felt like painting a fanart piece again for the first time in years 💙
#art #knightsofguinevere #fanart

Long vertical format digital painting in oil style of a girl with pale blue skin and vibrant blue hair. Her face is divided into two versions of herself: left looks like a princess and right looks disheveled and with an unhinged smile and a too-open eye. Both eyes shine with an ominous red light. Behind her, there's a sea of fire and a menacing figure in the background against a dark red color: a big knight robot with a bulky body, a long cape and unsheathing a sword from its back, with a face in the middle of the chest area, a shiny yellow face smiling

Same image as before, but cropped up into a close-up of the girl's two faces

Same image as the first one, but this time a close-up of the robot in the background

The fantastic @thecheesenone.bsky.social drew my beloved OC Yo Adley and look how cool they look!!! 😍💕 I'm obsessed with the cyberpunk wear, the whimsy details and the punk bunnies hsdjakshk ❤️❤️ *EXPLODES*

It's a digital drawing of the OC Yo Adley. A brown-redish haired character is winking towards the viewer. He is wearing a sexy cyberpunk inspired out it red, magenta, black and pink. In one of his hands is a crowbar in silver-red. The background has silhouettes of bunnies with spiky collars and piercings.

Aurora stands by threshold of a portal comprised of two columns connected by an arc. She wears a long flowy dress, with a bodice decorated with white roses. She is lifting her hand towards a star, and golden threads are wrapped around her. There is water on the ground where the stars are glittering.

A ghostly white head with long hair and a circlet is trapped in a glass jar with a metal, spiky lid tied with chains. The head is screaming with its mouth open wide, while a purple ooze flows from it. The jar is on top of an altar of sorts with runic inscriptions on the steps leading to it. Behind it, a huge, dark creature with long extremities looms over the scene, with its hands surrounding the jar.

A red-haired dwarf with an eye patch, a mohawk and a manica and a Huge, muscular, long-haired character at a bar share a table, some drinks while playing and/or gambling. The dwarf has just leapt onto the table holding a massive axe and threatening to severe his opponent's hand, while the other begs him not to. In the background, a lively crowd cheers and laughs while watching the scene.

The focus of the illustration is massive cocoon-like formation made of gnarled branching shapes with a warm, eye-shaped light in the centre. In the foreground, a thick “branch” where a character is standing goes towards the background. The atmosphere is mostly blue and hazy, with some warm light particles floating around.

A horned and almost entirely covered creature stands in the middle of the picture. Frayed layers flow around its body, kind of disintegrating as they move. A dark face with bright eyes is barely visible. Behind it, we see a stony and almost organic setting in mostly cool colours. In the bottom of the frame, we see a small character looking at the giant creature, standing on an organic-looking pathway.

Hello #PortfolioDay 👋

I'm Platyps, a hobby artist from the UK - I love drawing fantasy and TTRPG characters, my OCs, and sometimes fanart 🐉🎲

🎨 cara.app/peculiarplat...

Digital drawing of a half-elf monk standing among some trees, resting his hands on the trunks of two trees that form an arch over his head, and peering curiously at something out of the left side of the frame. He has blond hair, cut short and spiked up at the front, blue eyes, and pointed ears. He is wearing a blue neckerchief, wrist bracers, no shirt, a green martial arts sash, and loose blue trousers obscured by branches in the foreground.

Digital drawing of a shirtless bearded half-orc man, with scars across his body, sitting on a stone throne and lit by a shaft of light emanating from the top left of the frame. He is resting his left hand on the arm of the throne, and holding a sword in his right, with its tip resting on the ground in front of him. His left foot is resting on the skull of a sabre-toothed cat-like creature. He is looking fiercely towards the camera.

Digital drawing of Edward Elric, main character of the anime & manga "Fullmetal Alchemist." The drawing depicts a young man with golden hair and eyes, worn with bangs on either side of the face and a single braid at the back. He is wearing a tucked-in vest that shows his metal right arm, a thick leather belt, and dark trousers. He is standing with his hands in his pockets, moodily looking off to the right of the frame.

Digital drawing of a muscular man standing in a lake, with the water level coming up to his hips. The skin of his arms is discoloured and blue, with strange runes etched on them, and he is wearing leather bands hung with charms around them. His hair is also coming through blue, and he is looking towards the top left of the frame.
